  2. Reading #DonaldTrump's first interview on #FOXNews @ #Twitter since getting back from #China and I won't even bother transcribing and posting any of it

    Trump is being "interviewed" by #BrettBaier (think it is) and Trump is utterly incoherent

    No big surprise there, I guess...

  6. When you've lost the #GatewayPundit, you're in deep, deep trouble politically

    "The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released undercover video of White House insiders bragging about internal subversion against President Trump

    "Benjamin Ellisten, a Budget Analyst Manager within the Executive Office of the President, expressed, “We have to get rid of Trump

    “He’s [Trump] f*cking it up for everybody….We’ve got to get rid of him,” he said

    "Meanwhile, Benjamin Ellisten, a Budget Analyst Manager within the Executive Office of the President, expressed

    “We have to get rid of Trump,” while also calling the president “a madman” and insisting his coworkers “can’t know” how he truly feels about the current sitting President of the United States

    When OMG contacted Ellisten for comment, he sounded flustered and claimed he had “no idea what we’re talking about” before abruptly hanging up the phone."

    Not my original work, came across it yesterday, but my pinned post is increasingly relevant:

    "Read an interesting quote yesterday that I should have Bookmarked

    Something like:

    "I believe those things that help me understand the world around me better"

    versus

    "I believe those things that help me get along with the people I have around me better"

    One supports gaining personal wisdom, the other supports staying in the herd"

    We can think of it as two very different, entirely separate classes of people:

    Those whose lives are their own and are reality-based, and those whose lives are based in sustaining their membership within their tribe

  9. "Intra-party tensions between House and Senate Republicans have boiled over in recent weeks. Republicans are at odds on everything from housing to a soon-to-expire surveillance law to a long-shot election proposal. And they are facing a shrinking window (of time) to either get on the same page or leave much of their legislative agenda stuck in limbo":

  10. "To the narcotics agents investigating drug smuggling in Puerto Rico prisons, it seemed at first like a typical scheme: associates of an inmate gang sneaking drugs into the prison, gang members distributing them inside and bank records showing the money flowing.

    Then the agents discovered something unusual.

    Leaders of the prison gang known as Los Tiburones, or the Sharks, were selling drugs to inmates not only for money, but for their votes. Specifically, votes for now-Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican and supporter of President Donald Trump, investigators found.

    To make sure the inmates — many of whom were addicted — complied, the gang’s leaders threatened violence and to withhold drugs, the investigators learned. Corrections employees in on the plan looked the other way as the gang, formally known as Group 31, ran the enterprise.

    What at first seemed like a routine drug case had turned into something bigger. Puerto Rico, along with just a couple of U.S. states, allows inmates to vote. Puerto Ricans living in the territory can vote in all contests except federal general elections. It is a felony to willfully offer money or gifts in exchange for support at the polls. A conviction carries fines of as much as $250,000 and imprisonment of up to two years.

    Investigators had gathered solid evidence of election fraud implicating both inmates and staff, and they were working toward determining whether González-Colón or her campaign was involved, four people with knowledge of the case told ProPublica. They requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the case."

    Trump, in broken-record mode today, as always:

    "Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently"

    "They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!:

    "Our three Destroyers, with their wonderful Crews, will now rejoin our Naval Blockade, which is truly a “Wall of Steel.”"

  13. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/how. "The moral, intellectual, emotional #collapse of the #RepublicanParty is in a way a bigger story than #Trump. I mean, yeah, he’s a world-class, bizarre, dangerous person, but what makes him able to do this is the submissiveness of his party." Krugman's percentage is wrong: 25% of the world's crude #oil #trade normally passes through the Strait of #Hormuz (iea.org/about/oil-security-and), or 20% of its oil & #LNG (bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78n6p).

    According to Fox News, U.S. President Donald J. Trump unilaterally cancelled White House Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner’s trip to Islamabad, Pakistan, saying:

    "We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing.”
