Better Call James

Did anyone ask why Secretary Mattis resigned then? https://t.co/vp3pqwEvz4

The graph shows Middle East relations in 2016. How can Trump understand something like that if he even is not able to read Mattis' resignation letter? (He understood it only after the "media" reported about that letter.) https://t.co/rqFnJHV9YQ pic.twitter.com/SSX2GdDlPC

This quite probably is too much for Trump. But thanks to his tweets US soldiers now understand the dangerous military incompetence of their commander in chief. This is worse than his lying to them about salary rises. https://t.co/YARhPy2T2B pic.twitter.com/HsH0QOu3hU

"General Jim Mattis will be retiring, with distinction, at the end of February."

After it took Trump some reading effort (600 words), Trump fired Mattis earlier.https://t.co/OD70vTFiNt

Dining to Leave

One dinner guest, Hardy McLain, attended dinners in 2017 and 2018 and previously donated £20,000 to the Vote Leave campaign. The firm he founded was previously linked to attempts to “profit from Brexit uncertainty”.

I missed this at the time, but this article from July 2018 about the people who have collectively paid over £7,000,000 to dine with Theresa May and senior ministers since TM came to office is fascinating…https://t.co/HKt1Vw8ipf

In order to be a good dealmaker, you need to have realistic goals, patience, flexibility and maturity.

Trump hasn't demonstrated any of these prerequisites yet in his quest for the wall https://t.co/niDKGsDCC3 pic.twitter.com/KX19TOi68r

Books about negotiations by Leigh L. Thompson:

Double Standards Management System

No surprise. Some branches of the Christian Church seem to have evolved into a more or less sophisticated double standards management system.

Do Christians have a moral duty to support Trump, no matter what? https://t.co/pmrkugng0g

"The Shutdown is only because of the 2020 Presidential Election."

This is a surprisingly honest statement, for it was the Republican president Donald Trump who took the responsibility (while thousands ot witnesses were watching) for the shutdown.

Off the Record

A chorus of local news reporters reading, word-for-word, from the same Sinclair script to attack the media and defend the President. This is not what an independent media looks like. pic.twitter.com/Zcs4KNhgSW

Then and now politicians had been and are trying to suppress information by telling it in “off the record” meetings to journalists. Nice try, but good journalists won’t get caught in the “off the record” trap.
