The biggest takeaway from the Alaska summit/employee performance review is that Trump is all over the Epstein files.

Noticing that hordes of MAGA shills and bots have been relentlessly pushing completely wacko CT (namely: China mass-produced fake driver’s licenses to influence 2020 election) just to deflect from Trump's horrible week: parade fail, plummeting polling, unhinged posts, Iran warmongering.

The 747 from Qatar is bribery, pure and simple. Blatant violation of the US Constitution, which Trump swore to "preserve, protect and defend". He takes his oath of office as seriously as his marital vows.

I'm certain I could come up with more coherent trade policies just by giving my cats a magic 8-ball to bat around.

Q: Why is Trump is so high on tariffs?
A: They are using them to shift in the cost of govt from the rich to everyone else. Tariffs raise the price of goods, impacting poor/middle class disproportionately, while the revenue is used to cut income taxes—mostly helping the wealthy.

Cozying up to dictators, shitting on our allies, an unelected out-of-control billionaire axing critical government functions, and eggs are at record high prices. Let me know when we get to the "great" part.

From a cybersecurity perspective, every system these DOGE jokers have accessed should now be considered compromised and not to be trusted. There is no way of knowing what SW and/or HW addition/mods/deletions have been done. All of the tainted systems will need to be replaced with clean ones.

I've been a SW developer for 40+ years. US firms consistently use H1B and offshoring to replace US tech workers in favor of lower cost engineers. Lack of domestic talent is a lie; H1B holders I’ve worked with were far less experienced than those they replaced.

Shutdowns only impact the plebes:
Shutdown is entirely on feckless and inept GOP. First CR was bipartisan but GOP kowtowed to President-elect Musk and reneged rather than honor their agreement. They exclude Dem input on new CR and instead opt for a shit-sandwich that will never pass Dem senate and POTUS.
