Did seem too good to be true actually.

Given the 🍊 💩 gibbon’s past-is-prologue self.

Talking with a coworker this morning and all we came up with is that we’ve entered some alternate Universe/timeline. Through no choice of our own to be sure

Debby Burnett...that alternate universe feeling is real…and widely shared.

But...here's the grounding thought. It's not an alternate universe. It's the same universe ...with the circuit breakers removed.

Overpromise. Escalate. Blink. Declare victory. Repeat.

The patterns are historically recognizable. What's different...is the speed…the stakes…and...the absence of anyone in the room...willing to say STOP.

Stay sharp. Stay sane. Talk to your coworker.

Taco Trump did it again he is all talk. There was never an agreement and it will be another Vietnam. You can not believe the United States EVER.

What a bunch of 12 year old boys. Lying, caniving, cruel, morally bankrupt. This is the best these countries can do? Give ma a room, an intelligent woman from each of these countries and we could fix this shit in an hour. Starting with putting all these assholes in prison.

Thank you Jack, Truth I post generally stays but not always especially proof.

So Taco Trump talked, but Bibi continued bombing. Some weird partnership going on there. Where is Bibi’s negotiators in all this or is Trump being made as the fall guy?

The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing that’s for damn sure.

Thank you for explaining it all so clearly, Jack. I wasn’t expecting it to hold so I’m not shocked or surprised. I just wish I knew how it all ends… or even if it does.

I hate it most of all for the civilians who got caught up in the lies.. I hate it for all of us.

I’ll be looking for the paid piece.
