1) I hear screeching. "Trump is abandoning his platform! Trump is abandoning his base!" Mother of god that screeching is annoying. Its filling my ear drums as people just will not shut up, instead they try and scream OVER each other. "I'm more scared because patriotism than you!"
2) "Trump has given into the Deep State! Its all over! Trump has totally capitulated!"
3) I mean, really, it must be over, be ause surely a bunch of loud shouting voices trying to speak over each other MUST know what they're talking about, right?
4) Wrong. I've traveled back in time to the DACA debate a month ago. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
5) Literally one full month ago. breitbart.com/big-government…
6) Oh, and this happened.
7)
8) That was... Less than a week ago.
9) Alright, back to the present. What's that? Trump is sounding conciliatory to the Dems on gun control? Oh, fuck, all the same peopleare screeching like mashed cats AGAIN?!
10) Fuck it. I'll let people figure that one out for themselves. I'm good. /end

1) You're assuming Democrats act independently. This is incorrect. I understand why you might think this way, because that's how the GOP behaves, but there's a key difference between the GOP and the Dems.
2) The GOP has a large network of cooperating interest groups that all are moving in the same general direction in terms of candidates that GOP candidates have to interact with.

The Dems filter ALL their campaign donations through political apparatuses managed by party leaders
3) Effectively, this means that if Pelosi, Schumer, or a neoliberal equally high up gives the thumbs down, they turn off the campaign donation spigot for a Democrat overnight.

1) Trump can, but does not want, to declare a national emergency in order to build the wall. It is a very nice position to be in, really, knowing that he can get what he wants one way or the other. But he still wants it to go through congress. Why?
2) Because he wants a Republican congress and senate again after 2020. Right now, he's on track to win 2020. He's an incumbent in a good economy, and right now the markets both like a deadlocked government AND is now immune to the shocks that plagued the Obama shutdowns.
3) But he can't have another round of House and Senate elections like what we saw for 2018. We didn't bleed as much as we could have and even edged out a gain in the Senate, and Trump's name will be on the ballot, but the GOP isn't going to save itself, they're incapable of it.

1) Who’s on the attack? Its a question that’s asked thousands of times every day. Usually its asked as ‘who’s the aggro deck’, when people are playing competitive card games, which is where I learned the concept.
2) Essentially, in a one on one competition, there are two strategies. Offense, and defense. Nice and simple. The offense aggresively goes after their goals, the defense will prevent their opponents from achieving their goals until the defense can achieve its goals.
3) Whoever does best at their strategy, wins.

So what happens when both competitors go into a match intending to be on the offense? What happens when both intend to be on the defense?

Trump’s problem is that instead of writing Art of the Deal he should have read Art of War in which Sun Tzu advises that in battle, always leave your enemy a way out. For 2 years, he and the GOP refused compromise to give Dems an out. The only thing they can expect now is a fight.
IF Trump or the GOP had compromised, they could demand it back. They could at least portray themselves as people willing and capable if it. Instead, at every turn, they went for maximum gain without consideration for tomorrow. Two years of unfettered and uncompromising power.
It’s as if you have an enemy surrounded, but the enemy is still formidable... it wants to escape, but it is capable of fighting. The best idea per Art of War is to leave an escape route. Break the encirclement at some point. Make retreat more attractive than continued hostility.

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's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

2.#Finkelstein was very involved in #Trump´s campaign in 2016, but is hardly mentioned in the press, why?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

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
