As the Trump blather and bullshit becomes ever more disconnected and destructive--AND, if possible, even MORE corrupt--you have to wonder how much more blood can be squeezed out of the pitiful stone of American finance...
I think Trump and his twisted spawn--AND his pet gangster cabinet--are playing with oil futures the way a kid plays with a yo-yo... I believe the the goal of these phony "negotiations" with Iran are less about stopping a war than manipulating the price of crude oil. Every time some bullshit announcement is made about the "don't-call-it-a-war" with Iran, somebody makes tens of millions of dollars on the future price of oil.
What a supreme, unmatched son-of-a-bitch this man is--He shouldn't be allowed in the same room with anybody under the age of 18. ...Time to call him by his true comic-book-reality-show-name- BRENT CRUDE!!
"Trump may claw his way back toward some weaker, messier, less effective version of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the one Barack Obama helped negotiate and Trump tore up because it had Obama’s fingerprints on it..."
Absolutely-- at the heart of the whole Iran debacle is Donald Trump's hatred/jealousy of Obama. If Trump had One Core Principle it was: if Obama did it, it must be undone. Loudly and publicly...as I explain here:
Meanwhile, back in reality for the masses, a pediatrician-recommended nighttime ER visit for our ill 8 month old grandson resulted in a bill of over $6000 - for little more than a check for Covid, RSV and pneumonia and thoughts and prayers his symptoms would not worsen. Insurance covered some but not all - millions of those without insurance or with scam insurance would be devastated by such a bill. Guess who couldn’t care less? Trump and everyone who enables and supports him. As you say, the bill comes due no matter what Trumpworld theatrics and fakery project.
this is quite brilliant analysis and writing - as usual, but you spoil us. Thank you.
And the description of stable coins may be helpful in a debate I have having with someone who should have more sense but who thinks they may be a good idea for some purposes.
I understand kayfabe as slightly adapted pig Latin, where the first consonant or syllable is tacked onto the end of the word with '-ay' added. So igpay atinlay... - but with "fake", that becomes "ake-fay", which is hard to pronounce. So the -k- is left at the front and a -b- sound tacked on to the end to give the word some substance. So .... kay-fa-be. (Completely independent of covfefe, so far as I can tell.)

kayfabe.....original word that became covfefe in Trump's mouth. Any one have the original covfefe quote?

Standing ovation!
