I’m certain readers here know this, but… it really needs to be posted. Rep. Schiff closing remarks of the senate trial of Trump January 23, 2020: If the truth doesn’t matter, we’re lost. Framers couldn’t protect us from ourselves, if right and truth don’t matter. And you know that what he did was not right. …No constitution can protect us, right doesn’t matter any more. And you know you can’t trust this President to do what’s right for this country. You...

This is the complete letter Trump sent to Senator Schumer on April 2nd.   It is beyond embarrassing. Senator Charles E. Schumer United States Senator Washington, D.C.  20515 Dear Senator Schumer: Thank you for your Democrat public relations letter and incorrect sound bites, which are wrong in every way. As you are aware, Vice President Pence is in charge of the Task Force. By almost all accounts, he has done a spectacular job. The Defense Production Act...

Yes, he is losing it - the ability to govern as the President! The most recent example: he lost his temperament, totally, in response to the Mueller TV appearance, on top of having lost all the four games in the major league (President Trump's Major League Score: 0:4). He will continue to lose in the coming weeks and months. No, he is not losing it, because he has never had it!... Frank Li is out of paradigm with MMT, but he is an interesting social and political analyst even though his...

MAGA (Make America Great Again) was a campaign promise that sold Trump. Andrei Martyanov observes that "the real Donald J. Trump" consistently believed in MAAA (Make America Aggressive Again). Now that the campaign mask is off, his erstwhile supporters who voted for him expecting MAGA are wondering what happened to him. Nothing happened to him. He appointed the neocon cabal to power. He was always like that.Reminiscence of the FutureMAGA All The Way. Andrei MartyanovSee alsoMoon of...

Book Review Adam Tooze. Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World. Viking. New York. 2018 The global economic crisis is now more than a decade old, and is far from definitively behind us. Indeed, many fear, with good reason, that the recent, uneven and lethargic global recovery may soon come to an end, and that the next crisis of global capitalism could be even worse than that of 2008. The financial crisis and resulting crisis of the real global economy triggered by the...

Like all sensible folk I was myself opposed to the NAFTA at the outset, convinced that it did more for the corporations than for the rest of us. I’m still of that view. Is it possible that the biggest change that is now taking place is in the name itself, from NAFTA to USMCA- perhaps done so that Trump can boast that he delivered on his promise to get rid of NAFTA? A number of commentators on both sides of the CanAm border have written, in the words of John Ibbitson in the Globe and Mail,...

The current Deep Throat War is more like the case of a fractioned Deep State out for revenge on Trump via its media arm. The one-two tie-in – Woodward’s book and the “resistance” Op-Ed – looks increasingly like a sophisticated psy-ops – a prelude for a Deep State white coup.... It would be hard to dismiss the President when he says: “I’m draining the Swamp, and the Swamp is trying to fight back.” It would be hard to dismiss the President when he says: “I’m draining the Swamp, and the...

Funny. Trump gets some of the basics of MMT, which the article mentions. Gary Cohn, not so much.Business InsiderBob Woodward book: Gary Cohn was 'astounded at Trump's lack of basic understanding' about the federal debt Bob Bryan
