It's almost- and hear me out- as if those women who said they were bringing this case to protect women's rights, and that it wouldn't in any way harm trans people, were actually right all along. Weird, eh?

So those gender critical women were telling the truth when they said they weren't bringing their legal action to reduce the legal rights of trans people in any way? And all those people who said they were trying to do that were wrong? Good to hear.

Sometimes politics is simple. A man who speaks like an idiot will do idiotic things. That's really the sum total of the political analysis you need to understand what's happening today. But political commentators and investment advisers sought to make it more complicated.

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

I've never seen a nation torch its reputation the way Musk and Trump are torching that of the US. Every day they find a way to make a new segment of the world population detest them. Makes Brexit look like a PR triumph.

“We’re going to continue our completely neutral position of encouraging Russia to kill civilians while preventing Ukrainians from defending themselves.”
GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick claims that Trump cutting off intelligence sharing with Ukraine is "an escalate to deescalate tactic by the administration to bring these parties to the table."

As I set out in a post, Trump is not a 'transactional' politician, but an anti-transactional politician.
Those pundits that trot out that he is 'transactional' don't get his approach to supposed deals. His MO is breaking deals not making them.

No one in DC can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not follow laws passed by Congress.
No one internationally can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not respect agreements made by the United States.
Being a counterparty just makes you a target for another shakedown.
