THREAD: Some thoughts on Mattis resignation: I'm a hawk and prefer Mattis' views to Trump; Trump ran on a contrary view & is CIC; I don't know what strategy is & whether achievable; I wish Mattis were still there; I'd wager that 50% criticizing Trump truly disagree w/ Mattis 1/
2/ and wish he were out, except Trump; Mattis did it right, unlike Yates who refused to resign & instead grandstanded to the applause of Mueller's pitbull Weissmann; thankfully French forces are coming in to take over; French coming in will help Trump b/c he'll claim we don't
3/ need to expend our blood & money & that others need to do their fair share; he's not wrong; we will never be able to repay sacrifices of our men and women in the services and their families; what is solution to Syria at this point? No idea, but the fake redline get us here.
4/4 contrary views greatly appreciated as my thoughts are a work-in-progress that haven't yet been fully formed with full consideration of counter points. END

THREAD This question made me think. I immediately responded "Beat Hillary," but I think for those with TDS it is really "was elected President." And that is what I think separates the #NeverTrump folks who have TDS and those who don't! I don't hate Trump. And I don't resent
2/ him being elected President. I always said "I will be devastated if Hillary wins or Trump doesn't lose." In retrospect, I was wrong, if only because of the courts...but in reality he has many more conservative victories. BUT even if he didn't, TDS is based on a prideful
3/ anger prompted because Trump is president. And for those claiming to be Republicans or conservatives who suffer from TDS, it is far more untethered than any anger they had b/c Obama was elected President over McCain, proving pride, envy, and anger, truly kill the soul. END

THREAD: First important point to recognize is the question posed here--it is NOT whether a Special Counsel can be constitutionally appointed, but rather whether Mueller has in practice been given such unfettered authority that he is acting as "principal officer," which under 1/
2/ constitution requires Senate confirmation. Initially, then, the panel will need to set some standard to judge how much authority is too much. I'd guess judges would establish a test that focuses on authority US attorneys have, and supervision by DOJ they are subject to and
3/ ask if theoretically and in practice, Mueller has the same/similar authority and has been subjected to same/more/less supervision. BUT after establishing the test, I highly doubt the panel can apply it: The court will need to remand to the lower court for record to be

When son was 2, when he asked how I knew something, I told him it was b/c I had eyes behind my head. He shook head & said "no." But 3 minutes later while bending forward, he subtly slid my hair apparent behind head to look to see if I did have eyes there. So tonight, we had 1/
2/ this convo:
Me: "Let dad rest. He's exhausted. He stepped on nail & put through shoe & 1/2 foot & still worked his tail off after.
Son: "I know."
Me: "When you were little I told you dad use to have a squirrel tail but it fell off from working so hard.
Son: "Like time you
3/ son, cont., "said you had eyes in back of head and I checked?"
Me: "Yes, that was funny."
Son: "Well, I'm really glad I never check about dad having a tail."
Me:
Son: Smiling broadly
Me: "LOL. Okay, that was hilarious. I just got it!" END

2018 has been a great year and I have recounted on the great things that happened in it already here 👇

#Thread is the list books I consumed during the year

1. It started with Art of War - Sun Tzu
Valuable strategy in the book for life and business, I have it in my 2019 list again

2. Zero to One - @peterthiel
Impressive look into the art of innovation
3. Blue Ocean Strategy - Renée and Chan
One of the best reads of 2018
I went on recommending it throughout the year.

A compelling view of how to carve for your organization a strategy that wins long enough. Sequel to it Blue Ocean Shift (not read yet) @BlueOceanStrtgy

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.
