  1. One of the most striking features of #Trump’s #cabinet meetings this term is the extent to which his leadership has been praised as “unparalleled”.

    Officials have declared on camera that he is singlehandedly ending global conflicts, winning the race for artificial intelligence, motivating troops to enlist & lowering gas prices, among a number of other falsely claimed accomplishments.

  3. The #cabinet has historically advised the #POTUS on a variety of matters, but in Trump’s 2nd term, it appears to have taken on a new mandate∶ #flattery.

    Marathon cabinet meetings, lasting 1–3 hrs, have become a hallmark of Trump’s 2nd presidency…. Often televised, the meetings provide an opportunity for ofcls to credit him for their dept’s accomplishments while still trying to claim some spotlight for themselves.

  5. The New York Times reviewed over a dozen hours of cabinet meeting footage to analyze how Trump’s administration spoke to him. On average, at least one of every six sentences either flattered #Trump, gave him credit or criticized his political opponents.

  9. “We used to be a country that others wanted to emulate. That narrative no longer exists,” said Juliette Kayyem, faculty chair of the Homeland Security Project at the Harvard Kennedy School….

    Kayyem explained that #SoftPower …is weakening with a filtered story being told to those outside the country: “If you’re a foreigner now, what you’re absorbing about the United States is a #dysfunctional government, #ICE raids, Americans being killed, crime everywhere.”

  11. John Swinney says #Scotland not invited to Cobra meeting on Iran war

    It comes after #Starmer told business chiefs in #DowningStreet on Monday that it must be a “joint effort” to tackle the impact of the #war, saying the Government “can’t do it on its own”.

    However, #devolved #governments have NOT been asked to take part in the meeting.

  13. BBC NI has won the prize stating the bloody obvious!

    Of course it is #dysfunctional - mandatory coalition between Sinn Féin and the DUP does not work!

    Us Northern Ireland folk have to stop voting for these two parties if they won't Reform #Stormont and let us have grown-up government here. The DUP have never come to terms with losing top spot.

  15. "[…] this [is] to enable a “seamless travel experience”, while also giving the #ukgov “greater power to stop those who pose a threat from setting foot in the country and gives us a fuller picture of immigration.”

    Yes, of course #ftl #dysfunctional #bollocks

  17. …It was hard not to detect a note of reproach for the current #dysfunctional state of affairs in #Congress in Justice #Gorsuch’s reflections about the virtues of #legislating, in which, he wrote, “deliberation tempers impulse, & compromise hammers disagreements into workable solutions.”

    “For some today, the weight of those virtues is apparent,” he added. “For others, it may not seem so obvious.”

  19. As a follow-up to the #murder of #AlexPretti wouldn’t it be about time that we Australians broke off the AUKUS deal and wound back what ties we have to the #dysfunctional #crazy #racist #UnitedStates?

    If we really need human crewed #NuclearSubmarines, and I suspect we don’t, it would be a good move to try and get back on side with the French who could build our subs for us.

    Of course we would need to build a #nuclear #reactor to produce the fuel needed, or failing that we should arrange for the #French or even the #British to refuel our subs for us when the fuel rods need replacing.

    Or maybe we should concentrate on #unmanned nuclear power #drone submarines capable of working at ridiculous depths and loitering on the bottom for years, ready to kill any threatening ship or submarine when needed.

    The technology is available; perhaps we could lead the world in producing our own version of such a monstrous machine. Again, we could rely on our friendly allies to refuel them for us for a price.

    #ScottMorrison was a lying idiot.

  20. Eigentlich wollte ich für meine Serie, in der ich einen Recap von alten Folgen mache und auf Mastodon unter dem Hashtag #AgileThread poste, über die Folge "NBA04: Scrum: Warum es Zeit ist, ein anderes agiles Vorgehen zu erwägen" schreiben. Aber jetzt habe ich einen ganz anderen Artikel geschrieben: "Scrum ist nicht das Problem"

  22. Study: #SocialMedia probably can’t be fixed

    It's no secret that much of social media has become profoundly #dysfunctional. …A small number of high-profile users garner the lion's share of attention and influence, and the #algorithms designed to maximize #engagement end up merely #amplifying #outrage and #conflict , ensuring the dominance of the loudest and most #extreme users—thereby increasing #polarization even more.

  24. 📰 Behold! The #AIPAC 'Hall #of Shame' - a riveting #exposé of who's who in the world of #political #pandering 🤡. It's like a #dysfunctional #family #reunion where everyone's competing for a golden #participation #trophy 🏅. We get it, AIPAC, you love #tracking endorsements like it's the world's most boring scavenger hunt 🕵️‍♂️.

  28. The Inspiration for Tiered Democratic Governance

    The TDG was not born out of thin air. It foundation was laid when I spent six years as an active volunteer in a Canadian political party.

    I learned that politics that internal party politics is quite dysfunctional. No wonder we can't find good solutions. No wonder many voters are cynical.

  30. Holy shit. #KarolineLeavitt smiles as one of the right-wing new media influencers asks her about #HillaryClinton murdering people.

    Is the #Trump Administration really this fucking #dysfunctional and evil?

  31. Would you want to do business with:

    A country that was so #unstable, you couldn't be sure if minimum standards of health and safety were adhered to?

    A country so racked with #uncertainty, entire companies and expertise to service and maintain complex products could disappear overnight?

    A country so #dysfunctional you'd worry if you sent personnel over to study or work they could randomly be shot at, attacked, arrested?

    The world is saying "NO" to America because of #Trump and #Republicans.

  33. When Donald #Trump was a child I wish his parents had looked at him when he said "Look at me!".

    Now it seems the only thing driving him is getting the World to look at him.

  35. A really difficult combination of character traits is when someone believes themselves to be a "good person" and binds their self worth to it, combined with an inability to handle constructive criticism / a tendency to get defensive.

    As long as there is no friction everything is fine and dandy but shit hits the fan when conflict bubbles up. To resolve a problem both parties first need to agree that the problem is real and with the traits above? Good luck getting the other person to admit that. Instead of working on solving the problem you will first argue whether or not the problem is real (and potentially get gaslit into believing it isn't).

    It's fucking exhausting and I wish I could cut these people out of my life. But for circumstances that are outside of my control, I cannot. Wohoooo!
