Putin is former KGB, and Trump has dementia. The US is going to get screwed. Trump's dementia brain is physiologically diminished, and he has difficulty strategizing and thinking of bad consequences for the country. Trump knows one thing -- business transactions. His whole social life, relationships

Trump's response is interesting. He says "go home" to the guy making the fat ass comment. He doesn't call the guy a name (in this clip). I think because the guy insulted Trump like Trump insults people. Epstein file lady was a trigger. The protest wasn't a reminder of his failures.

This is a con, per usual. Consumer confidence is at rock bottom. It's a tactic to try to convince people they are better off than they are. But it's also about him, a person who lacks empathy. I don't think he can actually sympathize, just try to con people to improve his approval

numbers. His measure for wealth is based on his. The oil companies are making huge profits. It's not trickling to the rest of the country. He still hasn't figured it out that Trump's idea of business bankrupts people. And he has been doing it his whole life.

Maybe, next time Republicans can find a candidate to support who's capable of feeling empathy, a candidate who will make better decisions. Of course, they'll have to stop appealing to hate in their voters and convince them to view empathy as a good thing.

People who don't understand that it's good to help others, also assume helping others doesn't help the economy of the country. Some can't understand systems. I think they have a mental block in understanding more than one cause and effect. Of course, they also don't understand the parts of a system,

There needs to be a certain volume of revenue for farmers, for hospitals, clinics, etc that they use for their business operations to stay out of bankruptcy or close. Government subsidies help with additional revenue for these businesses to exist. They provide needed local services and employment.

too. Blue states support the system that a lot of Americans don't acknowledge. I think their knowledge of it should be a requirement of receiving blue money in their state. Have some kind of acknowledgement they understand so much money in the state is from blue states,

and it helps local grocery stores and farmers who benefit from SNAP. It helps rural hospitals and clinics stay open from government medical insurance.

Before the 2008 crash, Wall Street hid massive financial risks using accounting tricks. Now Big Tech appears to be following the same playbook. Americans and our entire economy are at risk because Trump’s regulators are choosing to look the other way.

This guy is such an idiot. He never offers real solutions. I don't think Republicans have any. They just complain about the problems, and then defer to the socially dysfunctional president. Their idea of a solution is defunding it by eliminating taxes. After the '89 earthquake, they had to retrofit

Poor Hilton. The other side of the Golden Gate bridge is Marin County. He's trying to con a lot of highly educated people. The higher education (bachelor's or higher) stat per capita of Marin County residents over the age 25 is 61%. I'm guessing a lot of them are engineering professionals.

the bridge. In the early 80s, they had to replace the structure holding the pavement because of salt corrosion. It also has to be maintained and repainted because of salt and weather. If the guy lived here when this was happening, he'd know. It's really dangerous to not provide upkeep on

Interestingly, the Republican refusal to take responsibility is like people who commit corporate fraud (see my last post about the documentary "You can see everything.") I list a couple of business fraud cases, and of course Trump's NY civil fraud case is one of them. Are they copying Trump?

They said it was touch screen calibration. This example is showing the error isn't about the touch sensor and name areas being misaligned since it's being touched in the same place, and different names are marked. That's what I'm seeing. Am I missing something?

They're like the corporate raiders of the 80s. If you had a young kid in a town with bad weather, malls were great. You can get your kid out of the house, out of the rain, in air conditioning, etc, spend time in a play area, talk to people and shop. It was a social experience.

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

I think it's socially healthy for people to be around each other. Kids socialize remotely and online, which doesn't always bring out the best behavior. It's sometimes toxic and isolating. I think it's adding to depression. There needs to be a marketplace meeting place. It's as old as time.

Major *spoilers* for the movie "You Can See Everything." This movie is still all over my other social media! I'll bring a post here because I can add a little about business. The movie's draw is about leaving the believability of Holmes up to the viewer. It's engaging. I hope Fielder gets a lot of

Don't get me started on the fraud behind the valuations of Mortgage Backed Securities in 2008. They all lie. They were arrogant and in denial.

They lie and cover it up because of years of arrogance and denial. The money contributes to the psychology of the narcissism. Theranos was textbook business fraud.

There's a better, slower old version of the skit. I didn't like the Youtube TV version quality. It was hard to follow in my opinion. So I didn't make any conclusions about her response. She might be on the spectrum, too. I think there's a long history of business fraud where CEOs are arrogant

and in denial. Enron is one. Like, Theranos, it was collusion of the top executives that covered the fraud for so long. Our current president committed business fraud with banks. As the consequences of the investment fraud start appearing, the top executives get desperate.

It's usually bad childhood experiences with needles, and an adult response can bring back the fear they had as a child. It's primitive brain stuff. Of course, I don't know if that was Holmes' experience, but it's a common one. I didn't know about the SA until the documentary, but that's trauma, too.

So I thought she might have been practiced at ignoring or blocking out trauma, which might be why she stayed with Sunny and Billy. Someone else said she might not have focused on the Abbott and Costello bit because she was probably tired from being a mom of a baby that's still nursing.

awards. But Holmes' response is a common scenario with business fraud. I thought she had a lot of issues, including trauma. I read the book, and if I'm remembering right, she had a fear of needles which is what motivated her to start the company. I worked in medical, and the fear is real.

LOL this is great! It's even scarier knowing he's the head of the FBI. I want to do a ghost of Nixon past visiting a Trump Scrooge theme. I'm not sure if it's going to happen. But I will post photos if it does.

My daughter said the scary Scrooge ghost is the ghost of the future. No kidding. I've got to figure out how to add a dementia test. That makes it scarier.
