Remember the part in the old Peter Pan play where Peter tells the boys and girls in the audience that if they all just clap harder they can save Tinkerbell?
That's what Trump's Cabinet Meeting reminded me of. A bunch of children wildly applauding him, all in an effort to bring him back to life.

RIP writer James Baldwin, died this day 1987.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.

NEWS: US private employers shed 32,000 jobs in November, according to the latest ADP report. That’s 4 months of job losses in the past 6 months. Small businesses are being hit hardest in the Trump economy. Most industries are seeing layoffs.

The rotten apple didn't fall far from the tree in the Trump family. Here's a great rendition of Woody Guthrie's "Old Man Trump" about Trump's father, Frederick, a racist landlord loathed in NYC. Song by Ryan Harvey, Ani DiFranco and Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine).

🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"

This is why we need the honesty of independent news people who aren't owned by the oligarchy. They ask these same questions.
It's also why we need true progressives like Zohran and Alexandria in our government. They don't play.
