With help from Mark “I stayed past my tourist visa” Burnett and Jeff Zucker. Zucker is an example of how loyalty works with the sociopath-in-chief. Zucker green lights “The Apprentice,” thereby saving Donny from going completely bust. Zucker moves from NBC to CNN. But CNN wasn’t nice enough to Donny, so he turned on Zucker. The lesson here is that no matter what someone does for or gives to Donald, it can never stop. Or else. Several large law firms are in the FA stage. When the FO stage starts, their hubris will bite back.

Please allow me to add one more: Bill Maher's confab with Agent Orange and Kid Rock (quite the meeting of minds). Bill informed us last night that Trump was "funny and cordial." Hell, I'm sure that Idi Amin was the Pearl Mesta of Kampala but everything you do to normalize this guy just plays into his undersized hands. Actually, I agree with the point he made later in the show that this gesture was more important than another "million editorials" saying the same thing. Maybe we just have to make a point of saying it better and doing our best not to sanewash a raving lunatic. This is a vile man who has made life appreciably worse for, literally, millions of people around the world. Final Thought: The recent spate of Executive Orders aimed at the Smithsonian does little more than repeat the tactics of every amoral strongman in recent history. As David Remnick writes, "Trump's executive order on history does not repeat precisely the tactics of Putin or Xi. But it rhymes." Or to quote Dr. Seuss, "He meant what he said and he said what he meant. The man is pure evil, one-hundred percent."

Bill Maher can eat a bag of unsalted peens. Years ago, I paid for HBO just so I could watch his show but now I fking loathe him -- he's a misogynist and a total jerkhole sell-out fkhead. And those are his good points.

That he agreed to pair up in the Oval Orifice with Kid Rock, who is absolute junkyard trash, proves he's losing the relevancy war. I picked up on his misogyny from his ratio inclusion of only one woman to three males on every weekly panel. (Ann Coulter doesn't count.)

Until the current crop of bad females came about, Coulter was the only one I would cold-cock if I saw her on an elevator. What a…..rhymes with blunt.

Zealots indeed Jeff. They are following a cult leader. There’s a quantitative analysis to prove it. We had to do it in 3 parts. Here’s the first. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/donald-trump-is-a-cult-leader-here

Ok. It’s official. We have entered the Twilight Zone. To add, that genius who is head of the Dept. of Education last week at a conference called AI A-One. You know, steak sauce is helping our children learn! Please, someone, make this stop!

I saw an interview with Fran Lebowitz, and when asked about MAGA, she had the answer: " A 6 year old could explain them. They're stupid and they're mean. And they're proud of it." She never disappoints.

Actually 3. But money can buy a lot, and his first wife really built the business for him. Until he divorced her. Schmuck.

They were immigrants and needed the money and green cards. That's all. He married one American, but she split as soon as she had the obligatory child.

The disruption of the world economy sends tremors to the foundations of economic norms. Where cocoa and palm oil come from won’t change. Let us think about palm oil. So we buy a lot more palm oil, like 4.6 billion pounds from Indonesia in 2023. So Indonesia buys $10 billion in other stuff from the U.S., but ships us $38 billion in palm oil, footwear, clothes, etc. We are not much for shoe and clothes manufacturing anymore. Chips are us. Trade imbalance? So what? https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/casinos-is-revenue-trump-thunk-then?r=3m1bs

You are thinking it through.

Trump and his team do not. They are superficial drama queens and want to do “sweeping” gestures on what they think is strength when they are really just egocentrically lazy.

Signing categorical exemptions to his tariffs one-by-one, and worthless executive orders like removing regulations for appliances, might keep him busy for the next 4 years as the titans of industry kiss his ass and beg for a break.
