I guess the Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria is over. Tulsi Gabbard must be so disappointed.
I don’t pretend to be expert in the Middle East, Let me just direct you to Juan Cole’s analysis at Informed Comment. For another perspective, see Eliot A. Cohen at The Atlantic.
If you missed Chris Hayes on Friday, be sure to watch this bit from the beginning of his program on the heist-in-progress that will be the next Trump Administration.
Much conversation today about Trump’s interview on Meet the Press. I did not watch, but I understand he wants to change the Constitution and end birthright citizenship by executive order (?) and is still talking about mass deportations. Oh, and he wants everyone who was on the J6 House committee in prison. I may look into this tomorrow.
Crypto is a collectible with no inherent value.
Chris Hayes is totally correct: The R Senate Bill is the world's hugest heist ever.
Fascists are like that, they go after the money, or really the wealth. The Nazi's were very good at stealing fine art and gold. Crypto, which the late great partner of Berkshire Hathaway, Charlie Munger called rat poison, is not gold. If you buy gold and lose money on it, you can always try to fashion it into jewelry and get your money back. Try that with bitcoin. It is quite portable though. That is why crooks like Trump like it. You can bet Assad's bitcoin got to Russia long before he did.
My only take from that interview is that haliperidol is not a trurh serum.
Besides making the tax cuts for the wealthy permanent, and robbing the rest of us to pay for it, Trump's agenda is grifting and vengeance, period.
