I'd say that some of Gilligan's best characters have been withholding and don't exactly jump off the page immediately; Kim Wexler, Gus Fring, Nacho, Mike, but ultimately pay off.

It's a slow burn, like BCS. Let it luxuriate, and enjoy the visual set pieces (like that great supermarket scene). I'll concede that Carol isn't exactly forthcoming, but I don't find her unlikeable. She's guarded, like her BCS character (and other Gilligan characters). I'm loving the show so far.

I don't get why so many Republicans don't see him as an albatross and just cut him loose. His net approval is -18%. If they have any hope for re-election, they should turn on him before the midterms, and hope a star can take his place before 2028. Yet they seem intent on going down with the ship.

I just caught episode 1 last night… wow! I’m starting to wonder if Vince Gilligan might be one of the best modern story tellers, with Scorsese and Tarantino. Considering the volume of work (episodes vs films), maybe better than those guys.

There are silver linings. Seat Grijalva, release the Epstein files, help out SNAP families, restore travel so people can fly for Thanksgiving, and revisit the ACA subsidy in January after MAGA has experienced the pain of their higher health premiums for two months.

Silver lining... Epstein files will now be released. Me thinks the national attention might forget about tonight's vote in short order.

I wish I had had the courage to stay short… I got burned last January, and vowed not to go short again. I guess I wasn’t wrong, just early (maybe the same thing).

With the White House probably going blue, and the Senate possibly going blue, does this scare Thomas, Alito, or Roberts into retiring over the next 12 months? A blue Senate could have big ramifications for SCOTUS.

It's irrefutable. Please don't even try to refute it. Case closed. 🤡

I’m having a hard time with the third strike on Rojas that was called a ball. Clearly a strike on pitch tracker. Clearly a strike in the moment. Should have been the second out, next pitch was the tying homerun.

What about ending QT? If I was the Fed, I’d want to give a bit of lip service to the next cut not being certain, to try to cloak this announcement in some hawkishness. However, the table seems to be set now for QE.

The next trillion will be even faster. This is basically an emerging market debt spiral. That’s the reason gold is at $4k and headed higher.

Should have been strike 3 on that non-checked swing.

I don’t love that she’s bringing this up again but refuses to identify the person. Maybe let sleeping dogs lie.
Having said that, it’s Hugh Grant, right?

Everybody should get into gold, regardless of age. Fiat is going to be debased into oblivion, and gold will protect you. Next year you’ll wish you had bought at $4k. It’s going much higher! 🚀

I don't think she cares. Japan can dump US Treasuries, and orient towards China. Trump has a lot to lose if he angers this particular ally.
