  3. Catherine,

    I thought Trump’s speech at Kavaunaugh’s swearing in ceremony tonight was one of the boldest moves in politics I’ve seen in a long time. Bush would have never done that for Clarence Thomas. I wouldn’t be surprised it was the Bush team that created that drama with Anita Hill to damage him as a judge.

    In my opinion, Trump setting the stage.

    We live in tense times but no one can complain it’s boring.

    1. Very astute speech. This is gathering Republicans around core values – should be positive – lets see. The White House conference on 5G was crowing about ignoring the Constitution.

      1. Catherine, I agree about the 5G conference. I made a post about that. It freaked me out. I don’t get it.

        Who knows what the hell is up next…

  5. Wonder what is up with Nikki Haley resigning? Perhaps something more is in the works for her and perhaps a placeholder will be substituted as the US turns its back on the UN.

    1. Could be many reasons. However, if this is a Haley for Powell switch, likely that the Trump Administration is looking to launch a war with Iran or double down on the ME.

      1. A war with Iran, while interesting to neocons, does not appear to be something that would appeal to Trump. I think he keeps that one on ice, meanwhile consolidating North Korea.

        Some of the next big items I predict will be the unsealing of indictments against consensus villains and letting those go through regular, not military tribunal courts. There will be a lot of testing of the waters in this process. My belief is the Dem’s deliberately made a circus out of Kavanaugh, fully expecting their inevitable loss and they will certainly accuse the Republicans of retaliation should their prosecutions become anything less than “according to Hoyle.” Wise Republicans will not afford them such an opportunity, instead taking the high ground. A track record of probity having been established, bigger fish could then be fried.

        1. Dina Powell as in Codoleeza Rices former assistant, Gary Cohen’s former deputy and Goldman Sachs partner.

          2. war with Iran will be a very, very, very bad idea. He’s been throwing Ivanka’s name out for Haley’s replacement.

          5. Well thats strange. I posted another comment here and it disappeared. Ivanka is smart. She know her best interest is sticking with her current portfolio and seeing it through – and staying in the White House to support her father. She tweeted immediately that it would not be her.

  7. Catherine, correct me if I’m wrong but in the past any country that even thought of bypassing the US dollar effectively put a target on its back. That no longer seems true. As many countries create different payment systems, nary a word from Trump. It would seem, he is not particularly concerned about this but that rather he continues to advocate trade and manufacturing. Could it be that his vision of a multi-polar world includes multiple tracks for multiple currencies? Could it be that he views dollar dominance as ‘unfair’ and is providing maximum flexibility to countries to conduct their business. It does seem to me he gets systems and has very long term goals for development of a new and different system.

    1. Dollar dominance is one of his goals – but he fights for what is achievable with what he has got to fight with. He wants to make sure the US is fine either way – with and without the reserve currency – but he will capture as much value from reserve currency as possible.
