So many people have turned out to be idiots unbeknownst to Donald Trump. His longtime personal lawyer for example
Trump's campaign chair also turns out to have been terrible without Trump ever realizing it
The person Trump put in charge of outreach to African Americans? "Vicious, but not smart."
Trump's closest ally in US Senate, his personal choice for Attorney General? Utter loser. EG
Anyway, all these Trump-appointed idiots and losers can at least take comfort that they still outrank LeBron James in the Trump IQ assessment

I propose to take seriously the below Jerry Falwell Jr. statement as proposition in economics rather than theology ... uh oh, I'm going multi-part here people ... 1/n
Through much of the past 150 years of US economic history, the great majority of the wealth/jobs created in the US were created precisely by the purchasing power of the (relatively) poor.
Think: Wrigley chewing gum; Duke cigarettes; S.S. Kresge five and dime; Henry Ford Model T; Samuel Goldwyn and 25 cent movie tickets ...

The WSJ editorial page yesterday all-but-endorsed the violent anti-Macron riots in France. Below is the subhead of the editorial ... "Green piety." Nice. wsj.com/articles/the-g… 1/x
2. What's very strange about the WSJ's editorial sympathy for the French rioters is that much of the anger against Macron derives from his pro-market, pro-enterprise agenda - an agenda you might expect the WSJ to support. Headline of a Reuters story from last October
3. Macron has reduced France's wealth taxes, cut capital gains taxes, begun to reduce housing subsidies, slightly reduced payroll taxes, tinkered with the outer extremes of union negotiating power - not exactly Thatcherism, but the most market-oriented reforms in many years

11/11 ended the violence between armies on the western front - but not in the east and south. Russia would be ripped apart by Civil War, Greece battled post-Ottoman Turkey, Poland fought Russia. Internal violence bloodied Germany, Italy, Hungary, and ... be it not forgot, the US
An anarchist terrorist wave killed dozens of Americans. A bomb intended for Attorney General Mitchell Palmer rattled windows across the street at the home of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. At the same time ...
.... in Chicago, Detroit, and other cities - most horrifically Tulsa, Oklahoma - white Americans launched what can only be described as pogroms against black neighborhoods, determined to burn out the economic advantages African Americans had gained during the wartime boom

2). A meme was flown across Twitter over the past few months, coming to my attention again yesterday. I saved it so I could do this little investigation!

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

Trump and Mussolini: 11 Key Lessons from Historical Fascism

Italian fascism provides a better model for our moment than Nazi Germany—and the comparison is not encouraging.

By: @Anis_Shivani for @AlterNet
Thread ✔
1/
Fascism is a religion. The 20th century will be known in history as the century of fascism.
〰️ Benito Mussolini

2/
I’d like to draw some comparisons and contrasts between our present situation and that of #fascist Italy between 1922 and 1945. I choose fascist #Italy rather than #Nazi #Germany because it has always seemed to me a better comparison.

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
