    Trump has been flagrant about this: - slash government (Musk) - provide a superficial benefit to the many - provide a windfall bonanza to his $rich cronies. Sure, raise oil prices to advance crony capitalism. BUT ! The downside may be worse, inflation, and higher cost of living. Trump has...

    As an abstraction, indeed so. Meaning, even if Trump is substantially correct, is it illegal? I'd be curious what Comey's explanation is. His dog's weight and age in dog years ? It wouldn't surprise me if the defense comes up with some alternate explanation. 86 47 Due to the obvious...

    For my Canadian friends

    It might be reassuring to imagine the United Nations to be a mature, capable global older brother to help keep order in a boisterous neighborhood. Such fantasy is destined to disappoint. Instead, think of the U.N. as a spineless social club, a coffee klatch. One doesn't need teeth to swill java.

    Uvalde - the followup

    There's a diversity of "explanations" (aka "conspiracy theories") w/ varying degrees of implausibility. Our OJT CIC flails embarrassingly, first by punishing our trade partners with $tariffs, insulting our NATO allies, then cutting them out of the loop on Trump's decision to wage War on Iran...

    The following looks to me like a flurry of obfuscation. "... by the public" in this usage means by government. But apart from a few judicial contributions it's a little bit the exec: But congress controls spending, and thus exercises decisive control over U.S. space adventures. That's a major...
