It’s my birthday! And yesterday was David Waldman’s! Hooray! We’re still raking all of the Solo cups out from under the couches here at KITM World Headquarters... but well, now it’s time to get back to work. (Hey Armando, we saved you a piece of cake.)
Donald Trump proposes a 25% tariff on Hurricanes? A wall? Nope! Those are just dumb ideas. Donald wants to nuke ‘em... a really bad, dumb idea. So bad, even Trump thinks it’s dumb. Therefore, it is only a matter of days before it becomes a Republican litmus test. On to blow up the G-7!
Trump lies, flails, and panics and Greg Dworkin is here to tell us all about it. Donald already blew up a few Gop myths, including any about caring about the deficit. Half of Trump voters would blame him for a recession. Almost everyone wants someone else for President. Who is most electable in the Democratic primary race? Elizabeth Warren is the most electable, in Iowa. About the only person Donald Trump is more “electable” than is Joe Walsh... for now.
Trump destroys consensus on all things, including Israel. A University of Pennsylvania law professor wants to make America white again, but the true intelligentsia of the Alt-right promotes tanning. Then, there’s the Falun Gong, who want you to watch cute panda videos, fight race-mixing and levitate. Sound a little crazy to you? Then you probably aren’t evangelical. The solution, of course, is to get rid of journalists.
Over on our side of the intellectual divide, David has been talking shareholder vs. stakeholder culture for years, and people are catching on to how shareholder democracy failed the people.
Nine years before any police investigation, two sisters tried to take down Jeffrey Epstein. No one would act.
