1) Oi gevalt. Is that how you spell it? The wall. Spending. @realDonaldTrump fights the way he fights against the most extraordinary odds any politician has ever faced. So, the wall. He tied his enemies to it, but more than a billion, and is moving forward.
2) National emergency. He'd never have done it if the damned Republicans had his, or our backs. Forget the Democrats. Fie on them. This is all about Republican corruption. He has to deal with it. He is. And who could possibly care about some pen and phone thing? Not me!
3) So Congress failing, he moves to protect the country. Thank you. Everyone should be thanking him. And shame on Ann C while we're on topic. He didn't cave, he fought harder than anyone we've ever seen. He's just doing the deal he has to do. Shame on her.
4) Okay, done with that. Now then, spending. Spending is bad. It is. But, when it comes to the military, it is not as bad as NOT spending. Who's the problem here? Republicans again. So, yes, the spending is going up. Give him a little time, please. He will bring it down.
5) The economy will bring it down. the #MAGA movement will help him bring it down. So everybody just relax, and STOP attacking him. He needs us to have his back. We can give him the cover he deserves. And Ann should just stop talking.

Got that? Sheesh.

John Minford, #SunTzu 2:20 "In war, prize victory, not a protracted campaign."
To dive in, we must discuss the term "literal." When I read the commentaries of others, and cringe as I so often do, I hear them say things like, "never fight a war." This is a literal contradiction. No, in war prize victory, not fighting, victory. It's literal.
What's the opposite? Sophistry. False wisdom, yes. But, it's a type of mental trickery. 'I know more than you do. So, listen to me. I'm going to tell you what you can't figure out for yourself.' Bah humbug, I say. I can figure anything out. And the beginning is to be literal.

John Minford, #SunTzu 2:18 "Change the enemy's chariot flags and standards; mingle their chariots with ours."
Chariot flags. They were a thing. Can you see 1,000 chariots in formation, waiting for the order to charge into battle. Can you hear a small breeze pick up and the flags start flapping in the wind. Can you hear the snapping, multiplied by 1,000 of them?
As words change over time, it can be hard to take the modern meaning out and put an older meaning back in. What is a chariot standard? It's not the degree of quality by which they're built. It refers most often to an image of the god that the warriors are protected by in battle.

John Minford, #SunTzu 2:17 "In chariot fighting, when more than ten enemy chariots are captured, the man to take the first should be rewarded."
How many ancient history movies have you seen? How about Ben-Hur? How about the chariots of Pharaoh in The 10 Commandments? Or Russell Crowe in Gladiator? We've talked about the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna drives the chariot and Arjuna shoots from it.
Dusty, sweaty, bouncy things, I have a hard time imagining actually fighting from within one. I bet our military men with their humvees and tanks would have an easier time than I do. I don't know why, but I have tanks associated with WWII. But, I don't see them getting captured.

@realDonaldTrump When the Republicans controlled the House of Representatives under President Obama’s tenure, they went absolutely nuts with their subpoena power. They started the Benghazi investigation and probed Hillary Clinton’s emails. They even subpoenaed the Attorney General Eric Holder.
@realDonaldTrump Congressional Republicans even started subpoenaing ordinary American citizens who spoke out about climate change and women’s reproductive freedom. I would know because I am one of the physician-scientists who actually got drawn into that crap.
@realDonaldTrump Imagine my surprise when 2 armed United States Marshals banged on my studio apartment door after I spent all night at Vanderbilt Hospital performing trauma surgery. I was taking care of gunshot victims and car accident survivors when I had to deal with them waking me up from bed.

@realDonaldTrump David Bernhardt has a long history of helping mining and oil corporations at the expense of the American people. He wanted to build the open-pit Rosemont Copper Mine in Arizona that would poison the surrounding water table with heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic.
@realDonaldTrump Bernhardt also went to war against endangered salmon species in California’s San Joaquin Delta. Trump is nominating this guy so that big corporations can rape and pillage federally protected lands for profit while the regular people who depend on those lands suffer.
@realDonaldTrump During his time as Deputy Secretary and Acting Secretary, Bernhardt has sold a record number of contracts to oil companies to extract fossil fuel on federal land that belongs to all of us. He’s embarking on an era of deregulation that will ruin our environment for generations.

There are some things I want to say about the #wall, #TrumpShutdown, Trump's base, & racism. It's going to be a lengthy thread, but I'll unroll it into one page at the end.
1/ As the #shutdown winds into its third week, a lot of ink has been spilled over whether or not the wall would provide #bordersecurity, on how practical or impractical it would be, and on how to resolve this mess.
2/ By and large this misses the point. The sharpest analysis to date came, unintentionally, from @LindseyGraham: The wall is a metaphor. But not the way he meant it. Rather, it’s a metaphor for a deeply held *insecurity* within #Trump’s base.

1/Thread on Govt Funding to Avoid a Shutdown. Congress is back this week, planning to work 2 weeks before adjourning, but facing a 12/7 deadline for continuing funding/a number of fedl executive departments & agencies. fedweek.com/fedweek/deadli…
2/Of 12 regular appropriations bills for exec branch, 5 were enacted in Sept, covering majority/fedl em’ees &/fedl spending. Employees/those depts—including some /largest including DoD, VA, HHS &Labor—are protected from shutdown threat bc full-year funding for them is in place.
3/There’s a bill wrapping together 4/the other measures—covering Agriculture, Interior, Transportation, HUD, the IRS, related agencies, & various science, financial regulatory & central management agencies—remains pending in a House-Senate conference.

@realDonaldTrump (1) I'm in favor of keeping people who will probably commit violent crimes or crimes of theft locked away once they have been found to actually try doing such.

I'm also in favor of being able to defend ourselves against corrupt violent people.

It is a balance.
@realDonaldTrump (2) I want to think defdist.org is legal, on the side of safeguarding our liberty from evil, to keep us free from the attacks of slaves and their masters that support socialism.

I understand the concerns, but they mostly seem to be on the side of forbidding guns.
@realDonaldTrump (3) Decent regulation is important to stop extreme problems, but in the case of liberty, that is a special case of the need to safeguard against the very corrupt people themselves that would seek to subvert government against liberty.

1/Even those who oppose DJT admit there are ways he can “unspend” omnibus appropriations. PP & sanc cities may come to mind if you read this article. @Cara_TXZEAL @UrUnpaidPundit @Zxcote @ljcljf @MsTriaI @_VachelLindsay_ @Known__Unknowns @unseen1_unseen forbes.com/sites/charlest…
2/“For keeping money unspent, the key agency is the Office/Management &Budget (OMB), &the management officials under OMB in each agency.”
3/“The OMB Director, Mick Mulvaney, is a very savvy veteran of budget issues, &he will have management officials in important agencies who implement his directions. For this approach, the key is sophisticated work in the shadows.” No leaks!
