Good points @Stalingrad_Poor
People forget just how awful the Bush Administration was. Image
It was during the Bush Admin that the GOP ruptured. Nothing "conservative" about trashing the Constitution after 9/11, or invading Iraq.

Very good John Kiriakou interview.

The only guy who went to prison for the U.S. torture program (as revenge for him not participating in it).

A real indictment of the dastardly Bush, Obama and Biden Administrations.

Dastardly is a good word. Image
“There is a deep state. You don’t have to call it the deep state if you don’t want to. You can call it the state. You can call it the federal bureaucracy. You can call it whatever you want. The fact is it exists and it’s unelected and it’s generally unaccountable to anybody. and they just wait for the President to leave if they don’t want to do what he wants.”Image

"This is either the greatest security breach of all time, or they tried to assassinate [Trump], or they left the door open so wide that that any infiltrator could come in."

"The fact that the Secret Service was bested by a 20-year-old, to literally draw blood from the Republican candidate for President, and former President, is inconceivably incompetent."
"It's a result of a culture of no accountability for failure."Image

"There's no strategy or sense to what we do...we default to 'let's call in airstrikes on somebody.'

That's a tool.

What's your plan? What is your strategy? What are your principles? How did we get here?

We're in chaos, we're adrift."

"In my experience you can't sneeze in the Gaza strip without Shin Bet knowing. Every other guy on the block is taking money from the Israelis to rat out his buddies and talk to Shin Bet..."

"What's best for America, domestically & internationally - that's what we should be doing...

Our policy is open borders. They're not failing to secure the border. It's not like they're trying and failing. The policy is "let everybody in."...Not just let 'em in, BRING 'em in."

Naked Capitalism is a left of center site.

I normally don't watch Carlson, but our government's massive attack on free speech this century via the "Censorship Industrial Complex" is an existential issue.

A perfect issue for common ground, left & right.

"The State Department, the Defense department, the CIA are all expressly forbidden from operating on U.S. soil. Of course, this is so far from the case, it's not even funny."

Like most of you, I have the House Financial Services subcommittee hearing on climate-related financial risks and monetary policy on in the background right now.

There's something called the "Network for Greening the Financial System." Not sure what they do but pretty sure the main goal will be you will own nothing.
Brad Sherman making sense at this moment. What is going on?

This is disgraceful.

"Sequoia Capital, the world’s most prominent venture-capital firm, got covered the $1 billion it had with the lender. Kanzhun, a Beijing-based tech company... received a backstop for more than $900 million."

@SecYellen @FDICgov Wow. Hat tip to John Titus for pointing out this dataset.

Incredible.

Post-Q3 2019, after the Fed restarted QE, the Share of Checkable Deposits & Currency Held by the TOP 0.1% jumped from 5% to 13.9%, while the 50th-90th % share fell from 36.2% to 26.6%!
