Something about the quiet and obsessed observation paints the painter. What a soft touch this must require. Reminds me of Albrecht Durer. Unfinished business?

I fervently hope a really good movie comes out about Alvin Bragg vs Trump. I want to see a lot of behind the scenes strategy meetings, and private conversations. All in the style of “The Big Short”. It could even be episodic. But the humor is darkish, like ‘Thank You For

A great conversation between 2 British guys. Come for the accent, stay for the ideas. youtu.be/MOf_c5dzYMY?si…

Here’s what a real genocide looks like: The Parsley Massacre, Dominican Republic 1937. Trujillo, dictator of DR, hated Haitians. Haitians, speaking French, couldn’t pronounce the Spanish word for parsley. So Trujillo sent out his thugs with machetes, asking random dark skinned

Awhile ago, I bought some stamps from Stamps.com. Little did I know that i was also signing up to a ‘subscription’, and after the ‘free trial period’ of 30 days, they started billing me, via autopay, $20 a month, for doing absolutely nothing. Yes, I should have read

In another thread, x.com/CommishSmith/s…, I explain why payments to Stormy Daniels were not a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA). In this thread, I'll explain why no FECA reporting obligations were violated, and why the prosecution's theory makes no sense. /1

If Elon has taught me something, it’s that he proves we live up to our own expectations. That is the only limit. So expecting more is a choice. John Collier, same thing.

Even Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo agrees that the Bragg’s trial shouldn’t have happened. Yes … WeThePeople have lost as much faith in the Justice System than we have the MSM. #FakeNews #FakeJustice

This would be a meaty problem to solve in a Tom Clancy novel: how to dismantle the CIA. It would be like pulling teeth from a dragon. Could it be done, even?

Hunh. Turns out Biden has advanced dementia. Makes me wonder what other secrets they have been keeping from us.

Wow. X.com is lit up today! Let’s remember the five stages of grief. 1. Denial 2.Anger 3. Bargaining 4. Depression 5. Acceptance

#Biden2024 #Biden_and_Trump Never mind beating Trump - what about his ability to take on Iran, Russia, China, North Korea? Yemen? Hamas? Hezbollah? What about taking on economic competitors?

Here’s 2 and a half minutes straight of Democrats explicitly calling for political violence. Has Biden ever denounced this? They have blood on their hands.

Democrats: Ya know, your general level of happiness might improve if you simply switch sides. Start thinking like a Republican, and you won’t have to twist your mind into weird shapes to make the world make sense as a Democrat. Try it for a week and see! You can always switch

Covid makes a fool of anyone comparing Trumps's administration to Biden's. When we locked down the entire country, of course millions of jobs would be lost. When we opened the country back up, of course jobs would go up. Yet no journalist ever points this out? Why?

BREAKING: The Bureau of Labor Statistics makes the largest downward employment revision in 15 years, reveals the U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs than initially reported The revision was worse than expected, with Wells Fargo expecting a 600,000 job revision and JPMorgan

Trump: You also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. Also Trump in the same speech: I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. Any media outlet that lied about this does not deserve public trust.

I support life and I like babies, but the abortion issue is strictly personal and will never be ‘solved’ politically. Anybody supporting one-issue politics doesn’t understand politics.

A puppy on a leash was looking at an egret at the edge of the lake. The puppy saw a squirrel approaching the egret from behind. The squirrel approached the egret and said Mr. Egret do you have any children? The egret, flattered to be called Mr. Egret, confided to the squirrel

Eric Weinstein had a good point in his interview with Chris Williamson (youtube.com/watch?v=PYRYXh…). He pointed out that the State Department and various intelligence agencies create and maintain treaties and other agreements with governments (and NGO's) around the world, and that
