Now that Trump is hospitalized, we officially have a president that is not physically able to do his job. Add this to the growing list of those who feels he lacks the moral, intellectual, financial and executive skills and America has a serious problem. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…
We have estimates that he doesn't start work til noon, watches 7 hours of television a day and spent inordinate time golfing. So maybe no one will notice but where is the protocol on benching the WIAMIACINC? businessinsider.com/trump-is-watch…
The election contest is effectively over. We will be electing President Biden in a few weeks but our leaders seem to have their hands in their pockets pondering the great unknown. Do Pence and Barr have the full list of pardons Donny needs rubber stamped? nytimes.com/2020/10/02/us/…
The pollsters are flummoxed. The public is scratching their head. This is exactly the time that America needs leadership. fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-w…
A CEO or leader would hand over responsibility to a second in command or designated team. We have a geriatric who is pretending that everything is fine...a crooked control freak who installed lackeys and idiots to gut and frustrate major govt branches. time.com/5895857/diplom…
Bob Woodward accurately captured how the disaster was created. A self centered bully quashing legitimate concerns about the catastrophic effects of a debilitating pandemic on the White House. A lesson in incompetence that will be taught for centuries. washingtonpost.com/politics/woodw…
As a manager of risks I have a lot of empathy for the tireless and often unseen efforts of security, intelligence, military and health pros who wrap a bubble around the president to ensure a stable country. Wasted by a egoist who forced people to violate simple health standards
Its not just the SuperSpreader events, the fucked up rallies and the insults to people who took precautions. Trump was the single largest disseminator and instigator of false ideas on the Coronavirus. And he frustrated the efforts of experts like Dr Fauci. washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
Despite being zapped Trump will continue to mislead, mismanage and metastasize the reaction to a pandemic. If he survives, he will attack this country in his weakened, desperate state. So who are the responsible adults who will put an end to this foolishness? We are. #VoteHimOut

The Russian Tail is a statistical anomaly that appears in vote distribution data. In manipulated elections, this curve develops an extended tail, indicating disproportionately high votes for a specific candidate in certain regions or polling stations" lynxotic.com/the-russian-ta…
My thoughts for today; Let Donny roll. Incompetence at speed and scale is historically a healthy thing in the long run. Successful managers respect reality, inertia, logistics, limitations etc. Stupid people think bluster and bullshit trump homeostasis. That leads to...
...an inflection or pivot point. Stability is an enemy to change. Good and bad. Instability is an ideal landscape for change. Pro or con. Let Trump paralyze, terrorize and metastasize the government because it will draw forth change agents to battle his chaos agents.
Trump's reliance on superficial theatrics, threats, insults, and unleashing incompetent subordinates with foolish ideas to disrupt the bureaucratic system we call government will lead to fractures. The much quieter "deep state" understands how the government operates.
Tip: Trump is embracing the Broligarch mantra of "disruption" as in, "move fast and break things." I call it "Smash, Grab and Run" because there are three endstates: 1) Payoffs for corrupt donors, 2) Legacy reshaping and 3) Protection of Trump familial wealth.
Trump operates on three levels: 1) rapidly spewing outrage jibberish to keep the media chasing his laser pointer, 2) Echoing donor jingoism to pay bills, and 3) discussing deeply corrupt deals while abusing his office of President.
This is tempered by a) his incompetence (Dunning-Kruger) b) his inability to think strategically and c) betraying his corrupt donors to take the short money instead of the long money. His backers also discard him when he has no beneficial purpose just as he discards his minions.
For those following the fires in California. Fire is a natural part of life here. Santana or devil winds are normal. Wood frame mansions on the edge of brush are common. November 6, 1961 was a similar event. Doesn't minimize the shock or sense of loss. lafire.com/famous_fires/1…
This time we had the jet stream pushed too high. 30 degree variance between day and night. No rain so far (starts in mid-December). Winds out of season. Usually 3 days of hot dry winds from the desert in Sept/Nov. We had a lot of brush grow after two years of great rainfall.
The Pacific Palisades is a unique place. Dating back to the 20's. A lot of entertainment people. A lot of Jewish community. The heart of liberal California. Beautiful views and weather. $5M and up. They are going to have a major voice and impact as they get together to rebuild.
Back when no one believed that the UK would divorce Europe. Dominic Cummings was not only correct but was behind much of the strategy. economist.com/britain/2016/0…
The faces of Leave UK were not your usual politicans.
'A former Vote Leave staffer said that Cummings had a first rate political brain but less developed interpersonal skills. “Some people found him really odd,”. opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocra…
The premise of was false. But that didn't matter. African migrants weren't going to take over the UK. They were already there... from India and the colonies. "I think it’s perfectly reasonable to say ‘Brexit was a mistake and history will prove that’.”newstatesman.com/politics/2021/…
Jamie Raskin takes 72 pages to explain exactly what political weaponization looks like. Few are going to read this, but the shitbags and Russian spies who falsely testified against the President and his family should enjoy some form of very cruel wrath. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…
There was also a sideshow where lawyers were dispatched to talk to Russian and FSB assets in Ukraine to invent evidence. This is part of an investigation related to contact with foreign agents. Perp walks, please. businessinsider.com/victoria-toens…
Much of this goes back to the Mueller investigation, where Russians and Russian assets were tasked to influence a pussy mad, broke-ass hick from Queens named Donald Trump. They won. We lost. justice.gov/archives/sco/f…
