I am the littlest very little elephant. All smaller elephants are moderately tiny and below. Not a fan of Orange.

We've seen the Trump story in the UK.

Boris was teflon, until he wasn't. When he threatened the officials who could remove him, suddenly the fact they had no idea how to replace him didn't matter any more.

Trump has neither the restraint, nor the wit, to avoid threatening Congress or his cabinet.

Everything we might reasonably discuss is "legalese" because the alternative is to abandon facts, which is basically how we define insanity.

Facts are a legal concept.

How do you think the UK government has proven the indyref fair?

If you can find a house or three to mortgage, when assets are cheap, this is how billionaires produce cash.

Elon Musk borrows walking money with his Tesla stock as security.

We're about to see how well that goes, after the Cybertruck tanked.

I can find it morally reprehensible.

It's what the billionaires do.

I can't improve on the idea.

Plan to have a bunch of cash in hand to buy up assets on the cheap when the bubble bursts.

They are tricky to short, because nobody with real money believes they'll hold value.

The flip side is that the financial crash of the 1930s, caused Congress to enact the Glass-Steagal Act.

Which Clinton revoked.

That mattered to the whole game.

Occupy Wall street, much like Trump, is a symptom of the larger processes that have caused them.

If I was doing financial guidance counselling, I'd say watch The Big Short, and consider the current crypto & AI bubbles.

They're all betting on a gain, and the way to make money is always to move against the crowd, before the crowd figures out where it doesn't want to be anymore.

If you're offering $500 on the internet to random strangers, it's hard to find someone who doesn't eventually want it crammed into your rectum via the nasal cavity.

Try LinkedIn, it's full of people looking for money.

Multiple fascists and their Concerned Citizens wanted to set fire to IPAS centres for Halloween. Lets hope nothing so sinister is the reason for this fire.

If you may look to the OP, you'll find a WhatsApp number for Keanu Reeves.

He thought it was fun for a little.

Not fun is the rest of you (who are so disposed to troll a stranger) joining in.

Opinion polls are stupid because they only measure the opinion of the politically engaged.

The politically disengaged still have opinions (fuck the lot of them, they're doing nothing for me) and we should try, and be seen to be trying, to help such people.

They have votes.

As opposed to being international socialists, they found the alternative while still claiming to be the least worst option for socialism.

Palestine needs our help more than ever.
