@DefiyantlyFree George W. Bush.

This very quickly became the approved thing to say about Bessent after his nomination. It is also the answer to: "tell me you don't want to talk about the fact that he is a Soros disciple without saying you don't want to talk about the fact that he is a Soros disciple."

[Mr.Action @NewsAction24_7]

Scott Bessent is a gay man, married, father of two.

I guess Trump isn't anti-LGBTQ as so many on the left tried to convince us!

Liberals hate America First and that’s exactly who TRUMP is! 💪🏻🇺🇸

[Christopher Faille @ccfaille]

Did these pro-folks who used to talk about how evil Soros is, and how terrible is his power ... ever really believe that stuff? If so, we will hear from them now about how demonic it is for Trump to put a spawn-of-Soros in charge of the US Treasury, right?

I'm happy to see you'vejoined the X-odus. [I've moved most of my social media activity to Mastodon.]

@akafacehots Let me guess. You're one of those folks who just makes shit up and them puts the word "Breaking" in caps in front of it, right?

[Christopher Faille @ccfaille]

@elonmusk You should have named it the Department of Public Efficiency. Can't really say why....

[Christopher Faille @ccfaille]

Rand Paul is fighting Mike Tyson?

@trumprealparody Sir: I think I'd rather point my thumb in the direction John McCain once famously did. Or use another finger to make a pertinent gesture.

@DonaldTNews Not too long ago you asshats were claiming that Swift was endorsing Trump. That turned out to be wrong? By gosh, one could almost infer that DJT and company don't have a high regard for truth.

[Christopher Faille @ccfaille]

@FreckledLiberty You ought to define the alternatives better. Is the implication that the career woman has achievements that ca be numbered higher than 0? A lot higher? Are you stigmatizing [proper] pride in these career achievements by calling it arrogance?

[Christopher Faille @ccfaille]

@DonaldTNews I'd like to see a link. To a proper sourcing -- not just DJT's self-serving sayso. All you've sourced here are the publicly available photos!

@BFriedmanDC In the ancient pre-Trump era, it was fairly common for a Prez of EITHER party to have a member of the other party in the cabinet. Norman Mineta, a Democrat, was Secretary of Transportation under George W. Bush. Bill Clinton had William Cohen (R) as Secretary of Defense.

[Christopher Faille @ccfaille]

@I_Talk_2_Trees @elonmusk Yes, it says "republic". It doesn't say "dictatorship." And a republic as such cannot be turned into a "dictatorship for one day" without ceasing to be a republic at all. That day or in the subsequent ones, until the system is corrected and a republic properly restored.

@earthcurated Panama, Uruguay, etc. What's my prize?

[Christopher Faille @ccfaille]

Hmmm. Elon defines the choices in favor of the first name of one versus the surname of the other. And it isn't Harris v. Donald. Skew your polls much? Customer satisfaction surveys re the Tesla are likely done in the same conscientious way, eh?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Since a lot of people have asked, here goes a super unscientific poll …

Who will you vote for?

[Christopher Faille @ccfaille]

@its_The_Dr Any job -- if the only other applicant thought himself a dictator, didn't want me ever to "have to" make my own choices again, and included a reference to the desirability of a "unified Reich" in his resume. I'd hire her for any job mine to fill under those conditions.

[Christopher Faille @ccfaille]

@andygocke @clarkjosephf @lastpositivist Good questions. I think either of those might be a good substitute for Santayana in the neutral-neutral box here.

[Christopher Faille @ccfaille]

Uh, we need a President who is not Donald Trump. There is only one plausible candidate for getting there. Whether that adds up to a yes or a no answer to your question is up to you, and a matter ("Mater"?) of profound unconcern for me.

What is the latest on Muhammad Yunus? Early this year he seemed about to be imprisoned. Apparently it has not happened. What is going on? (Without sending me to paywalls, if you can help it. Unless u can also extend me micro-credit to get me past the paywalls!) Thanks.

We shall hear a lot in coming weeks about Willie Brown. Surely it will come from Donald Trump supporters who wat the next President to embody the civilized values of monogamy and fidelity.
