Once again reminding everyone that Trump's actual philosophy is "the power of positive thinking" a delusional, narcissistic philosophy where you presume success of every venture ahead of time and turn every setback into a victory as a retroactive cope

The Atlantic: The war in Iran has reaffirmed two truths. One is that the United States is blessed with the most professional and effective military in the world. The men and women of the American armed forces can conduct missions of almost any size with formidable competence, from special operations to seize a rogue-state president to a large-scale war. The other truth is that the Trump administration, when it comes to strategy, is incompetent.
I'm always amazed that the US military is judged on such a sliding scale, and I'm also amazed at the hubris those who claim to support it show. We're not fighting a capable opponent.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
Good speech. Most US press got bamboozled by Bill Barr's scheme. Trump's collusion with Russia was always real, continues to be. www.youtube.com/live/ylvTFvJ...

“Nice to break up the pump & dump schemes with some insider trading”
“Back to our regularly scheduled pump & dump scheme programming”

The biggest trade in 2020 was betting in the spring on how severe the Covid pandemic would be.
The people who bet that it would be over quickly and relatively painless were catastrophically wrong but made a fortune anyway!

Public restrooms in Old Town in #SanDiego are open a whopping 6 hours a day! That should be a much bigger deal than whether there's a cost for public parking.

Even the Houthis have ties to China, where about a third of that oil goes in normal times.
