Analysis: Trump promises his new defense chief will do a "great job." That’s what he said about the guy he just fired. https://t.co/P5atk0K49o

In exit interview, former Sec Def Esper says he would have "absolutely" resigned if President Trump had interfered with Lt. Col. Alex Vindman's promotion. (Of course, Vindman retired, citing bullying from Trump, before anything officially happened) https://t.co/8yG2fZJj5F

also any serious playa on the world stage, state or non-state actors, are more concerned right now with figuring out what's going to happen with our new government, and how to manipulate that to their benefit, not this failed state version, why waste time on it.

In reply to This is all bogus bullshit

eh on the other hand it's mostly playacting and little danger, it's not a world secret that a significant number of important White House people and now another cabinet member are sick with covid or at least in quarantine with it, more likely to come. So understaffed that they can't even find someone capable to set up a press conference in Philly to have a press conference challenging the election.

It's basically a laughing stock show interregnum as there is faith competent hands are coming.

The markets are doing well, that tells you a lot of smart people aren't expecting the end of the world anytime soon. And that's really all we ever have as far as good fortune telling is concerned.
