That’s right, it’s strategic vagueness. What’s ridiculous is saying, 1. Xi didn’t raise it, but also 2. China knows which means we’ve told them, and also 3. Trump can’t enunciate it because while China knows it’s also a secret.

The Trump administration is shutting down Radio Free Asia.

The other side knows but I’m not telling you my secrets.

O'Donnell: "Are Maduro's days as president numbered?" / Trump: "I would say yeah. I think so, yeah."

2018 Report - Trump repeatedly suggested Venezuela invasion, stunning top aides

Sounds like Junior & Erik are running the autopen.

This is a little odd - I’m not excluding all your other comments but the Prospect raised two issues, both of which have been well reported elsewhere. - One is the expanded export licensing controls. There has been a loophole in older regulations that has been permitting out competitors & adversaries to access some of our best technology. We belatedly finally tightened that loophole a couple weeks ago, but for some reason - it has no connection to trade, nor should it - it was tethered to Trump’s trade discussions and was delayed another year. Totally, pointless, useless, self defeating. It never should have been a part of the discussions. But Trump *loves getting dragged into “deals” which just allows our adversaries to play him every time by engaging him with horse trading on unlinked matters. - The *other issue, which you do raise, has to do with the US’s Blackwell chips. Here’s the reputed nephew of an MIT professor who also had to get backdoored into Fordham discussing his sophisticated understanding of this technology. - There was even less than ZERO reason for dragging this onto the table. I’d have to think even the likes of Rubio & Bessent had to claw it back off the table to keep Trump from giving it away to ‘his friend’ Xi. All we did was dodge a bullet there. We got to keep a thing we already own but it sounds like it’s being treated as some sort of win by the Ballroom Presidency & lord knows what we surrendered for that privilege..

We love TiVo.

Yeah, odd how Epstein got the run of the place.

So, your main concerns are: - Preservation of monuments. - Hiring practices. - Protests about Israel. - Library / school reading & bathroom practices. - The firewall & independence of the FCC. - The sentencing practices of local courts. - Protests about immigration. - Jurisdiction of federal district courts over national constitutional issues. - Government ownership of industries. ++++ Well, I don’t see national security, the economy, free elections, political corruption. I mean we’re withdrawing troops from Eastern Europe & resuming nuclear testing while threatening war on 2 continents but hey there’s a guy in drag reading to kids in Edina MN.

If you really believe this, then anything is permissible on the part of Trump, is that fair?

We got a pretty good glimpse of what we can expect the New White House to look like this weekend. And yeah. And also. Featuring the trans anthem. Etc. Quite humble & tasteful.

There is no good analysis of this deal. I’m not even sure it’s even a deal considering it’s not comprehensive.

The illegal killing of people with zero demonstrated reason or basis would mean the US is doing the thing we should intervene to stop.

South Park does its thing.

SNL: White House Makeover.

End game: China & Xi humiliate Trump. Results: China now buys far fewer soybeans & other Agricultural products. - China has increased its access to the US’s highest & best technology. - Total lack of movement on Taiwan. US citizens continue to pay exorbitant VAT taxes aka tariffs that didn’t exist before for a market we created but which have now surrendered to competitors, many of which used to be our trade allies. - The Wuhan Virus bio lab was always a joke claim & Trump didn’t even raise the supposed act of war.

The US has killed 61 people using the military against foreign flagged ships in international waters, providing no evidence of drug trafficking or other illegal action.

We just pulled troops out of Niger. (Thats a different country FYI). In fact the Russians took over our expensive new military base. Same thing is going on there. You’ll never guess what Nigeria has but Niger doesn’t.

This is not about Kirk, it’s about the terrorism arrests in Dearborn. >>Announcing their arrests on Friday, Patel said more information would be coming soon, however the FBI and Michigan authorities have offered few details about the case. Spokespersons for the state and national FBI and the U.S. Attorney in Detroit did not immediately respond to messages Saturday. The investigation involved discussion in an online chat room involving at least some of the suspects who were taken into custody, according to two people briefed on the investigation who could not publicly discuss details. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The group allegedly discussed carrying out an attack around Halloween, referring to “pumpkin day,” according to one of the people. The other person briefed on the investigation confirmed that there had been a “pumpkin” reference. However, lawyer Amir Makled, who represents a man from the suburb of Dearborn who was still detained on Saturday, said federal authorities haven’t given him many details about the investigation but after reviewing the matter, he concluded that no terror event was planned. He said he doesn’t expect any charges will be filed. “I don’t know where this hysteria and this fearmongering came from,” Makled said. He described the all-male group of U.S. citizens as gamers, and said they range in age from 16 to 20. “If these young men were on forums that they should not have been on or things of that nature, then we’ll have to wait and see,” Makled said. “But I don’t believe that there’s anything illegal about any of the activity they were doing.”<<

A nugget here is that Trump called Schumer “almost treasonous” for calling his China trip a dud. (Schumer was being too easy on him IMO).

George Santos - convicted of felonies including identity theft, fraud & theft of political contributions- is now working at DOJ.

We’ve done plenty in Nigeria & they’re the largest democracy in Africa. Nigeria elected its government. Yemen is in civil war & Houthis attack international shipping & attack innocent civilians constantly. I *completely agree with your last point, it has zero to do with Trump & maga. And you completely ignored the point about USAID. And Syria, where Trump withdrew troops unilaterally, they were explicitly protecting Syrian Christians.

Ukraine. Gaza. USAID. South Sudan. Yemen. Syria.

The clip that angered Il Duce Donaldo.
