This post is chockfull of wonderful nuggets. I was unable to watch the proceedings with Bessent but plan to look at it today. You nailed his demeanor. When he condescendingly “marveled at how “sophisticated” constituents must be to ask such intelligent questions about fiscal policy” you provided Congresswoman Terry Sewell’s response…”Just because you’re poor doesn’t mean you’re ignorant”. That pretty much sums up the arrogance of the entire Trump administration. Great report! 🎯
I can’t help but be prompted by the ‘limp ‘ usage and so abhor vulgar references, words, and people who ‘stand in ‘ representing courage but emulate their limp dick redneck macho pathetic attempt to be strongmen when , in fact ….their ‘boister’ says the opposite.
It has led war’s bloodthirsty for centuries, stood for manliness, and been poster posh decrying absentee Dad-ism because all they gave was ‘a fuck’..such truth disguised in sheep’s clothing or the emperor’s nakedness. Honest folks..it’s time to come out of the cave…
Woke me up long ago.
Hopeful still yet I protested yesterday as I push 82 ‘ol folk’ 😉 have done since whenever …in blood-red WV ! What an amazing turnout as the world (also )amassed reality ..the puppet people feigned thugs,criminals, chaos projecting fear echoed by all the limp dicks and his dick-taters.
I’d say grow up…knowing they can’t get passed 9 y.o.mentality
With sound off, and not knowing individuals involved, it's often easy to spot good guys and bad ones. Bessent makes that easy. Decades ago I was watching tv with sound off and said, "He's a jerk" not knowing who it was. It was Tom DeLay. One quibble, Mary, I'd change your, "China keeps the leverage, we keep pretending." to "...he keeps pretending."
In Minnesota, one of Trump's worshippers murdered a state Representative and her husband, and badly wounded a state Senator and his wife, on Saturday morning. The State Patrol requested that rallies be canceled.
Fuck that.
The Patrol estimated "25-30,000" showed up at the State Capitol on Saturday. I was there. I can't begin to guess the accurate number, but it was much, much higher than that - perhaps as many as 75,000. I don't expect any better from the officials, but Minnesotans turned out in huge numbers to protest.
"No Kings" is a stupid name. It's not "kings" we're worried about, it's a dictator. The Democratic party just can't seem to dial it in - maybe they should start listening to Americans instead of trying to lead.
Another superb summary of where we are. Re: Israel-Iran, Israeli observer Linda Dayan wrote:

Great assessment of S. Bessent. I sure hope Karma catches up with him.
