These ridiculous, would-be monarchical decrees from Trump bring to mind an old WKRP in Cincinnati bit, where Les Nessman reads a story about the new dictator of a country who declares that he'll hold free elections as soon as every citizen learns to play a musical instrument.

Surowiecki on the "anticommons problem" -- The Gridlock Economy reviewed

It's honestly baffling to me that Trump's people think that 15 months into his presidency, they can whatabout their own failures by mentioning Biden.

This is a weird thing for Trump and his cronies to brag about. If Trump has a 100% approval rating with MAGA Republicans (who are 30% of the electorate) that means his approval rating with everyone else is around 17%. Almost all non-MAGA Americans despise the job he's doing.

Amazing. They're really going to try to pretend they've toppled the regime, when everyone can see they haven't. As always, Trump's approach is "Who are you gonna believe? Me or your lyin' eyes?"

Summary of the Book “The Wisdom of Crowds” by James Surowiecki

This story makes no sense. The wonan says she earned less than $22k last year, which means, depending on her filing status, she owed no federal income tax or a few hundred dollars. And even if all her income had been taxable in the 10 or 12% bracket, no tax on tips would have saved her maybe $1000. That's not nothing, but it's a long way from being enough to pay for cancer treatment and vacations.

It's impossible to overstate the insane hubris required to believe that God is intervening in human history to protect the bombing runs you order.

This is the single most delusional thing people keep saying about Iran. The regime has stayed in power for almost 50 years while being oppressive troublemakers that the entire West would like to see disappear, and it's done so because they've deliberately avoided doing anything to invite massive destruction (like Saddam invading Kuwait). But we're supposed to believe that they're suicidal maniacs who have somehow never come close to committing suicide in 50 years.

If our country is not affected by the Strait of Hormuz, why are Americans paying a dollar more for gas at the pump than they were a month ago?

It's impossible to express how utterly deluded and detached from reality you have to be to believe that illegal immigrants committed 13,000 murders - 65% of all murders - in the US in 2024. That number comes from Benny Johnson completely misinterpreting or misrepresenting ICE data in order to paint a picture of an illegal-immigrant murder wave that has no connection to reality.

Karoline Leavitt has said many ridiculous things since she became press secretary, but "Donald Trump is always the most well-read person in the room" is unquestionably the most ridiculous.

As I said the other day, the logical resolution of the war was the U.S. agreeing to stop bombing and Iran agreeing to open the Strait and both sides saying it's over. That's what this looks like. I'm sure the 10-point proposal will include some language on Iran agreeing to not build nukes and on the US agreeing not to bomb in the future (and perhaps lifting sanctions). But the oath is there for Trump to declare victory and go home.
