The Big Die-Up and the Big Screen
Two years before Montana was granted statehood, in the winter of 1886-1887, the northern plains were buried under a cold so deep it erased all sense of life.

Hmmmn. So I guess any country's leader can be tried according to another country's version of justice, if said leader is reported to be a repeat felon, pedophile, apostate, and/or, let's say, thief?
I understand that under the Taliban, those crimes are taken seriously.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

My plan to revive American manufacturing is to: raise the price of inputs like steel, aluminum & copper; create shortages of rare earths; generate less electricity; invite retaliatory tariffs; cut R&D; raise borrowing costs by blowing out the budget; and to cover it all in a cloud of uncertainty.

This is also, obviously, self sustaining for a time. Take over an institution you have no respect for, make it so it doesn’t work well for anyone, increase distrust in that institution, blame your enemies for the degradation, score political points, watch as it is fully dismantled. Rinse, repeat.

CBO just estimated the macrodynamic impact on the cost of the GOP bill - i.e., "is this bill going to help the economy so much that it pays for itself?"
CBO said that the bill pays for just 3.5% of itself - w/ a tiny upfront economic boost that declines over time. Legitimately embarrassing for Rs.
