Is it mourning in America yet? Nothing to see? H/T @bgurley
Based on the rumor mill, it sounds like the closed-model US AI company’s lobbying efforts were having some success persuading the US government to ban or restrict Deepseek. Now comes Qwen. Then MiMo. Open comes at you fast. What now?

Prior to JD’s deliberate provocation, for 30 minutes, Trump and Zelensky were engaged in meaningful and substantive discussions, even putting heads together, and ultimately laughing, around the 12 minute mark when they clearly disagreed over the fact Europe has put more in financial terms into Ukraine support that the United States. Somehow, it seemed to be too cordial for JD Vance. Note that he pounced the moment Trump offered ‘a last question’… Please consider more closely Vance’s motivations and the agenda (and NRx movement (also Dark Enlightenment) which seems to govern his mental map and impulsive rhetoric).
What I see is a tragedy: President Trump siding with a Russian dictator and alleged war criminal, Putin, and shouting at a democratically-elected leader of a country that Putin invaded. In the long twilight struggle for human freedom, I see Trump pushing America to switch sides.

So,@BillAckman now you’re an aeronautic expert! Blimey! Nothing to do with a SecDef obsessed with DEI (and alcohol) and an FAA weakened by Trump’s Executive Orders? Not the enemy within (1600 PA)?! Or is that what you mean by terrorism?

If it weren’t so dammed serious.
Thank you for being with us on Peak USA; before devolution, @tribelaw .
Your analysis was the best — before it was all laid to waste.
USA RIP
PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report 11/30): “Donald J. Trump raised eyebrows in diplomatic circles on Saturday by naming the former drug lord Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman U.S. ambassador to Mexico.
When asked about El Chapo’s ten felony convictions, Trump said, ‘I wish he had more, but I still think he’s qualified.’”

True; and the instruction manual is well distributed; with a determination to exploit power over governance — disrupting and destroying the mechanisms of the latter to prevent reverse engineering of the US political system as we have known it.
Say what you will about the direction he wants to take the country but this is a wholly different feel from 2016. Trump is stocking his admin with seasoned loyalists who will not guide, but rather will BE guided, by HIM.
People wanted to shake up Washington. For better or worse, they're doing to get what they asked for.

Why any donation to Republicans? Only under Democrats does the US economy prosper. Fact. For whatever reasons…
FED: Federal Reserve Chairman Powell pre-announced last week that even if President Trump asked him to resign he would not comply. Now we learn his central bank is filled with Democrats - 92% of Fed employees who contributed to political campaigns donated to Democrats. Does the Fed represent ALL Americans or just the elites?

ALT According to the FEC 8,393 Fed employees donated $552,000 to Democrats and 703 donated $51,000 to Republicans. Last week the Chairman of the Fed pre-announced that if President Trump asks him to step down he will refuse. Does the Fed represent ALL Americans?

Heck, sit on it until Wednesday. All will be fine…
If you live in Iowa and you are a @realDonaldTrump supporter who has not yet voted, please make your way to the polls on Monday or no later than Tuesday. Every vote counts!
