Losing feels worse than winning feels good

Winners

President Trump - Stunning comeback. The king has returned.

J6 Prisoners - With the pardon pen, Trump freed all of them. No reviews or nuance. All of them.

Ross Ulbricht - Trump freed him as a gift to the lolbertarians. A decade in jail for his Silk Road crimes. Questionable yes but tell us dear reader, why can’t we jail the creators of Grindr, Tinder, OnlyFans and Pornhub for the crimes committed on their market oriented sites?

Plan Trusters - Trump’s EO list is strong and moving fast.

Trump’s Inner Circle - They came prepared this time and no leaks about what the EOs would be. This is a total difference from 2016.

Losers

Trump Countersignalers - Possibly the dopiest looking people on Twitter. X is full of them, and they look dumb.

Indians - Anti-H1B discourse and the birthright EO causing them to tip their hand. Openly catty bitch behavior. They are revealing their strategies to abuse visas.

Libs - So many EOs and policy changes that they do not have a proper reaction. No one showed up for protests in DC on inauguration day. It’s an onslaught they did not prepare for on day one.

DEI is not going to entirely go away, so it won't vanish. There will still be traps and problems due to it laying around.

The following is a podcast that covers the Trump admins policy approach to fighting inflation but cites that really, deportations will have a huge effect on rent which is the biggest chunk of Americans’ budgets now.

The Inflation Monster Remains But Can It Be Tamed

Today’s episode covers the current problem of inflation. We discuss the last period of awful inflation and how the American empire created it and fixed it. How did we get into this new jam? Can we use the same anti-inflationary tools as we did in 1980? We then delve into Trump’s plan to fix the problem and cover a secret weapon that is not financial but…

On the matter of Vietnam.

When the Communist Cadres came south in 1959 early 1960s they absolutely DID NOT mention Collectivization to the peasants. “If you mention collectivization to the peasant he is your enemy.” - debriefing of cadres.

What they offered/enforced:

- Tax cuts

- Interest rate cuts for debts

-anti corruption and honest government

Yes. Those Viet Cong.

Collectivization was the Vietnamese peasants worst nightmare. They waited until 1978 to implement (won in 1975).
