4 designated 438 of his tech investments as software or hardware companies, even though the firms promote themselves as A.I. enterprises, offer A.I. services or have A.I. in their names.

5 raised the profile of his weekly podcast, “All-In,” through his government role, and expanded its business.

MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR SACKS AND TRUMP

Since January, Sacks has occupied one of the most advantageous MOONLIGHTING roles in the federal government, influencing policy for Silicon Valley in Washington while simultaneously working in Silicon Valley as an investor.

He constantly makes the mistake of thinking that everyone else lives in his universe, when that's all in his warped head.

Trump's attempt at re-naming are just examples of a psychopath being a psychopath.

Psychopath Trump is the title I've been using.

There might be some sense to December 2, but both Leavitt and Johnson have enormous waste containers, and their employees have been instructed to fill them with what Leavitt and Johnson consider trash.

Leavitt's job depends on Psychopath Trump alone, and Johnson's does, too.

I knew that. It's like the short video clips of players out on the field, on TV, warming up, before heading in to the locker rooms before a match.

The only terrible video of pro soccer players was the one which surfaced years ago, showing the Italian national team members practicing fake falls.

“Maybe he is just trying to explore every major Houston freeway this week?” joked Melissa, whom we all call Mel.

“Everyone needs a hobby,” I suggested.

Judge if you must. Dark humor is my family’s coping mechanism of choice.

[Father missed the off-ramp for an appointment, and just kept driving.]

As hour two of our vigil approached, I suggested my sister take a break.

“I can’t,” she said. “It’s like the third season of ‘Stranger Things.’ I don’t want to watch but I couldn’t look away. I have to know what happens.”

That came from the south side of the Tatras.

What I REALLY miss at this time of year, after it turns cold, is PAGACH, or PAGACHI:

Russian state agencies began investing in Trump back in the 1980s, when he was facing personal bankruptcy. They got what passes for loyalty from a psychopath, and they've been working it ever since.

Please don't excuse Hegseth and the other bloodthirsty aides who sold Psychopath Trump on the policy.

You know, the radical right wingers yukking it up about "cracking eggs" to make their breakfast burritos.

Can you imagine how they're explained, if at all, in nations where English is not spoken?

Sorry, I have only very large FUCK TRUMPS.

Used all my little ones before the psychopath entered this century.

There's a scene in the film "Super 8" which captures the idiocy of fears about "the Soviets" in the Midwest, when a woman at the community meeting blames a Soviet invasion for the weird things happening in Lillian.

Rank ignorance like that birthed the Russian base of "Stranger Things".

Stay there. The story really weirds out after that.
November 30, 2025 at 2:41 AM
Yesterday, I told a granddaughter the first season was the only one worth watching. The police chief wrecked the second season, not telling Joyce Byers and the two older Wheeler kids that Eleven still was there, near Hawkins.

The third season was LAUGHABLE. A Russian base underground, in Indiana?

Reminds me of a scene above Nevada Falls, in Little Yosemite Valley, in the Yosemite backcountry.
