Today, Ann and I want to say thank you to every veteran who has worn America’s uniform. You stepped forward to serve our great nation.
You sacrificed, spent time away from your family, and carried responsibilities many cannot imagine. We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you. The freedoms we enjoy as Americans are not free.
Thank you and may God bless our veterans, their families, and our great nation. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

In the House Republican Conference meeting this morning, Washington State @RepBaumgartner exhorted his colleagues in the room not to leak what's going on in the meeting to reporters.
He recommended they hold House Republican Conference meetings in a SCIF.
I still don’t know what the hell this is and I don’t ever want to know because I’m a man with taste.

Cheap-suit Troy already embarrassing Maine and he hasn’t even spoken or voted yet. Get a real suit, dude.

NEWS: Senate Republicans approved a “sense of the conference” resolution at the end of their marathon closed-door sessions today about “maximizing” their remaining days in power.
It includes a line on doing “everything humanly possible” to pass a reconciliation bill in the lame duck ...
“It is the sense of the GOP Conference that we will maximize the 54 days we have with congressional majorities, to confirm every judicial nominee and every executive nominee that the conference approves of, to pass our core Republican priorities, and to do everything humanly possible to pass a reconciliation bill before Jan. 3.”

The policy was not too tough. There need to be more deportations, not fewer. The mistake was staging deportation theater with Kristi Noem out on ICE raids dressed like Tomb Raider. Don’t call so much attention to it. Don’t have government accounts on X posting spicy memes about it. Just go do it, efficiently and professionally. Is that option even being considered?

Wimp.
Trump endorses an amnesty deal with Democrats, saying immigration maximalists are on the “pretty far right” and suggesting that illegals who have been in the US for 10-15 years should have an opportunity to stay.

Wrong. It wasn’t tough enough.

I’m winning, my portfolio is great, looks good to me!
When I’m wrong, I’m wrong. I thought when unemployment was low, GDP was hi, household income rose, it meant everyone was winning.
Not true.
The American economy has decoupled the economic progress of asset owners from wage earners to such a degree that broad based measures of success are no longer reliable measures of progress.
This single issue of asset ownership vs progress of wage earners will be the defining issue in all future elections.
Other issues will get caught in the interpretation (price of eggs, Iran war, price of gas etc) but the candidate that realizes that those are downstream of asset vs wage earners and gets their messaging focused on it will win.
No amount of money spent in an election or gerrymandering will change this outcome.
That is what I learned on Nov3.

Hi, I filter my replies. If you follow me & would like me to follow you back so I can see your replies, plz let me know. Account size doesn't matter to me. I think it's a superficial and misleading metric. I like building friendships & alliances w/ as many people as possible.

For the sake of the US economy I really hope Jensen's wife can be chill about this.

Trey is absolutely disgusting on the mini kit. Richmond Tube. Jacksonville chalk dust. That percussion makes me MOVE! Taking boogie-ocity into the stratosphere. LFG. Let Page and Mike do their thing. Phish is BY FAR the greatest band of all time.

Apparently I’m blocked by the person who won the biscuits thing. I was gonna reply with “congrats, enjoy!” I’ve literally never interacted with that person even once.

My first show was a frat party at Denison U. I recall to this day how I begged them to let me keep the ticket intact, and they compromised and tore it such that the logo stayed intact. Trey got on roller blades and rode around through the crowd. I was 5’ from Page. @phish
