Wonder how many of the Trump kids are going to try their hand at failed political careers after Cheeto passes or stops trying

One of his sons is definitely running in 2028.

No one of his kids could elected above dog catcher.

It’s trump’s party so keep the royal family running in the future please so we can watch it burn.

Nobody can be Trump except for Trump, not even his kids. You cant coach yourself into being that deranged and unhinged from reality. That’s why these politicians that try to imitate him keep failing.

 

[mplsdunk]

Yeah but you can’t tell them **** anyways. Don jr seems like a wild boy so it would be nice to have him take the party over and dump more gas on the just drive it into the ground while we all watch.

If Republicans stay in power in states that control the printing presses (Texas), these k-12 kids won't learn **** about what's happening right now. How many folks on the right are even aware that Vietnam only got worse because of American electoral politics?

We’d be lucky if these kids’ history textbooks even ended at the War on Iraq. Ours ended at 9/11 when I was in HS about a decade ago.

Fox Business is really Fox News 2.

Everything Rupert touches is poison. My refusal to read WSJ articles is a pint of confusion at work…

WSJ generally speaking isn’t bad for business news. But avoid the opinion pieces like the plague.

I’ve seen subtle editorial bleed-over in the framing enough to not trust myself to always notice.

The value WSJ’s straight news might provide me is eclipsed by the possibility that Rupert is subtlety editorializing or the cost I’d spend mitigating that risk.

I’m happy to read FT or Bloomberg which gave their own spin, so it’s not an issue of echo chambers.. I just don’t think they are as nefarious in their approach to journalism as the Fox media empire.

If he could put Copenhagen’s train system in the DMV, I’d show up any January 6th he was supposed to leave office.

 

[mplsdunk]

“Europe” that’s pretty broad we talking Lichtenstein or Belarus?

 

[05fordgt]

What a !!!

 

[RustyShackleford]

It is really clear that big business and especially the banking industry want Trump back

America will do anything except build enough housing.



NIMBYs are terrorists and extremists. Collectively, they are killing and injuring more Americans than any other extremist group.

NATO Has Been Underestimating Russia’s War Machine, Estonia Says

Estonia’s top military commander said fresh intelligence on Russia’s ability to produce ammunition and recruit troops has prompted a re-evaluation among NATO allies and a spate of warnings to prepare for a long-term conflict.

www.bloomberg.com

In addition, several senior officials from NATO militaries are raising the alarm about the possibility of Russia not stopping at Ukraine if they take over Ukraine and the prospect of direct conflict with Moscow.

That would be a big change:

Wall Street's $2.9B political donations: Who spent, received most

Financial-services firms spent much more on Biden than on Trump, and Bloomberg LP spent more than any other firm, data suggests.

I wonder if it’s Basel Endgame anxiety.

[sneaksoy]

Wall Street wants Nikki Haley more than anyone, but they’re realizing it ain’t happening at this point.

Though I think they’d still prefer Trump to Biden, there’s definitely some anxiety over the ridiculous spectacle that is Trump. And that doesn’t even include his proposed tariffs, isolationism, etc that’s bad for business.

But they’ll take it for the potential of tax cuts smh.
