One thing that freaks me out about the apprentice redux is that he might be firing all these employees not as a retaliatory measure as we've all been thinking, but because he's literally stuck in the bless'ed TV show in his head.

Vance should go back to not speaking.

There's a very good bakery near me that produces a genuine French fougasse with duck fat and calamata olives.  It's so wonderfully salty.  It's like a shaped focaccia.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fougasse_(bread)#:~:text=In%20French%20cuisine%2C%20fougasse%20(Occitan,resembling%20a%20head%20of%20wheat.

I got one today and had a few slices to go with the vegetable soup I made last night for dinner.  I am ready for a nap.

Cup of decaffeinated English breakfast tea from Taylors of Harrogate.  It's mediocre.  I won't buy more.   I prefer Yorkshire Gold.

What alarms me the most is that there is probably a huge number of Americans that are proud of their leader for "showing strength".

I made a point of logging in (under a fake identity) to X yesterday simply to tell him that he's a disgrace and his behavior was bad for America.  The long series of suck up praise posts that preceded mine was staggering.  They felt he's put Ukraine in its place and how dare Zelensky show up not wearing a suit.  Jesus wept.

Oh, contraire.  The whole debacle played like a bad rerun of The Apprentice.  What Trump knows about running a company or a government he learned from acting like a competent businessman on tv.  That's the only place he came across as one, since he is known for his string of failed business ventures.  Sad to say, we are stuck with this failed Reality TV star to screw up the global geopolitical order.

Forgot about that series (never watched TBH)

The best I can do is this:
"two bullies beat up a classmate who was being beaten up by another bully.""

As horrible as the attack on the World Trade Center was, this self inflicted damage seems like it's going to have much worse, longer lasting effects.  It's hard to feel optimistic about being an American these days.
