When a grouch is nice you're nervous

 A little bipolar action?


By all accounts yesterday's meeting between NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani and President Trump at the WH went very well.  It was cordial, civil and even charming.  Trump said some of Mamdani's views are a little out there but said he hopes he'll be a great mayor and they'll work together.  They discussed housing, affordability and other matters.  At one point a reporter asked Mamdani if he thought Trump is a fascist and Mamdani started to speak but Trump waved it off and said it's OK to say yes it's easier.  That's a little skill right there.


Dunno.  Had a deli manager back in the day who was a real grouch.  One Christmas he bought everyone a bottle of Australian Yellowtail and we were like what's up with that?  Trump goes in and out of the clear state a lot.  Is it all shtick?


MTG resigning in January.  Will probably wind up with a talk show or podcast.  You haven't heard the last from her.

  1. Sort of an enigma. Never know what to expect from Neanderthal reasoning. But can we guess? "If you don't call me a Commie, I won't call you a Fascist"? "We have replaced MTG"? "Gonna make Vance jealous"? "So your brother is the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia?" and
    perhaps "Wanna see the Press Corps scratch their heads in unison"?

  4. When I had a crew working overtime, I'd bring in breakfast meals from McDonalds. Never had anyone quit. I'm pondering that Pinocchio's nose grew whenever he lied. But when Trump lies, his polls drop. Hard to believe he is throwing Ukraine to the Russian Wolf.

  5. A very perceptive observation. Have you considered running for office?

  6. Never in a million years.

    If any other president met Mamdani we wouldn't still be talking about it. With Trump we have to dissect it.

  7. Saw where Homeland security is pulling agents away from child abuse cases so they can help ICE (to abuse more kids?)

  8. According to Rolling Stone "The major concern is with nitazene overdose deaths. This is, in part, because isotonitazene — the most common nitazene, also known as “ISO” — is five to nine times stronger than fentanyl, which itself is generally 25 to 50 times stronger than heroin, which is about twice as strong as morphine. All that is to say that less than 2mg of ISO — the equivalent of the tip of a pencil or a few grains of sand — can kill you," is the giant US task force wasting its time on Venezuelan fisherment?

    Now his ineptness can concentrate on removing broadcasting licenses from any network that criticizes him. ABC will you cave?

  12. Stock market up but -
    "According to a Challenger, Gray & Christmas report, U.S. employers have announced nearly 946,000 layoffs so far this year—the highest total since 2020—with more than 17,000 explicitly tied to AI and another 20,000 to automation." Keep an eye on that new all metal chef B1977Z. He may be good a souffles.

  15. Sounds like a winner, Maybe a sequel to the Wizard of Oz. 'The Wizard of OZ-Man. Pee Wee Herman a cowardly lion, Homan as a stuffed scarecrow, Hegseth as the the Little Man behind the curtain with openings for Director and the lead Z-Man. Casting call....

  16. So Mamdani says he still thinks Trump is a fascist which means Trump can continue to call him a commie. Progress.
