My cousin Micky was among the bond traders who worked at Cantor Fitzgerald and died on 9/11/01 (I was 10 years old, I barely knew the guy, this isn't a sob story), but my God: what a fucking let down it has been to watch Howard Lutnick for the last 6 months.
Everyone who wins always talks about what a powerful mandate they have... despite the fact that turnout is usually around 60% and they only got half or lesS than that 60%.
The GoP tends to think they have a mandate and over-reach. The Democrats realize that they do not have one and then under-reach, anyway, because they cannot get their coalition behind things.
According to T. Rump the transition will be bloodless only if the woke left will allow it. My guess is that the party of political violence has plenty of trigger-happy and ambitious people in it to insure that first blood is shed internally, if only metaphorically. The rest of us will have to suffer the consequences of the recent election. Looks like MAGA is in the process of morphing into MABR.
Apparently on 60 minutes yesterday Scott Pelley had the audacity to tell people the facts about t***p's nominees. MAGA had a literal meltdown screaming democratic propaganda and on from there. These were absolute publicly available facts. Just imagine the reaction when they start reporting on what they are doing.
Don't get distracted by the clown show that will be heading the departments America. It's the intelligent ones that get installed underneath that will be writing & enacting all the policies that you really need to worry about. They're the ones that will do the real damage to your country.
Just remember as it all drives you to drink over the coming years, drink American - the tariffs will make the imported stuff to expensive for you! Best of luck from Australia 🤞
These guys remind me of North Korean propagandists. The laughability of their statements is only matched by their volume, their threatening tone, and their shrillness.
Who actually enjoys working for people like this? You don't get any real power doing it. If you do, it could get taken away from you in a tweet.
I have to think Howard Lutnick is one of those guys who, despite his success and fame in the business world, deep down fears he's a phony and craves validation. Validation, from Donald Trump. Hopefully these guys experience consequences for their bad decision sooner rather than later. :/
As Prof. Timothy Snyder laid out, imploding the government is the job Putin wants Trump to do. All his appointments follow a carefully thought of formula and being a Russian asset seems to be one of them. Ironically, my mom's childhood friend, who is a member of the Left party in Germany likes Kennedy. The Left is pro-Putin and anti-vaccines.
So, this news on the Treasury appointment is more evidence that the USA is going in third world direction and they want to get everything done before the mid-terms. The words unsafe belie that fact that the USA is already in position 132 before the elections in Global Peace Index.

So, people should pay attention to what Andrea Pitzer is saying about what you can expect in the incoming administration and what you can do to keep yourself safe. That is what people should be reading about. https://substack.com/home/post/p-151702504
Oh, Marc- I gotta say , it is sometimes so hard to read your pieces. Somehow, it almost seems normal. Since I live in an area where this whole shitshow IS normal now, and actually preferred, I am …concerned worried stressed terrified….
Take care of yourself- the slip into the dark side can be perilously easy.

Agree . It works the other way too , of course . S
The way these people refer to Trump as "the boss" is just straight up f-ing gross.
This is one ping pong match I am not going to watch.
High-caliber individuals? Really?
There seem to be several no-caliber individuals.

Misspelling seems to be one of the less noticed requirements to serve in a Trump administration. Of course, it all starts at the top.

Thank you we are going to need it.

Reading about Kennedy in the AP today makes me sure that the USA will be worse than a 3rd world country when Trump gets done with it, it will be more like a fourth world country. https://apnews.com/article/robert-r-kennedy-rfk-vaccines-hhs-food-trump-0500f67ef53ed6862583dace587b3899?user_email=e6d46431cdf0846602708a306aa3299b6c2cb41fa3b3e069d0efe897c74a21ad&utm_medium=Morning_Wire&utm_source=Sailthru_AP&utm_campaign=MorningWire_Nov17_2024&utm_term=Morning%20Wire%20Subscribers
