Everyone needs to watch “The Weekend Show” on YouTube from yesterday. Professor Reich and Anthony spent almost an hour explaining what the Democrats have in front of them going forward and what all of us need to prepare for over the next four years. Thank you Robert.

I just finished watching the video. Reich's call for significant change resonated. He rightly pointed out that a Harris presidency, while promising, wouldn't have been enough to fix our rigged economy. So, what's the game plan? Could breaking up monopolies be the key to a brighter future? Or are we headed for another Great Depression?

A constraint on Trump is his cognitive decline. Someone is directing the show at present, probably through the ways Trump is easily manipulated, flattery, and worship-like behaviors.

You are so right, Gloria! The orange man is just the "face" of the republican party. There are so many behind the scenes calling all the shots! I hope they begin to turn on each other and can't get as much crap done as they want!

We need to stress economic empowerment and strengthen the economy for all, including those who were deliberately left out of their fair share. I think attacks on DEI and the structural bigotry in this country are stupid. We should know our history and move forward with it to learn from it and not repeat the same mistakes.

I agree, Kathy! I said in an earlier post, I am working with different organizations recommended to me on this substack. I have thought about how great it would be if all of these different organizations that were working for the same thing - fighting for our country - would host some type of summit or convention where each organization sent representatives to collaborate and bring them together under one huge umbrella. That could be the start of the type of party that many of us want and need. There is such a huge amount of Americans right now that refuse to join either the republicans or the Democrats and in this election did not exercise their right to vote simply because they are fed up, frustrated and disgusted with the paths these two parties are taking. Many Americans do not feel they are being heard. These organizations could establish a third party that absolutely hears them and will work for them. I know many will say a third party is not the answer, but I believe it is and I also believe there are enough Americans that would get behind a party like that.

Here is the fly in the ointment. Regardless of Bessent. Trump's regime and cabinet will so disrupt,dismantle and demoralize America that Sovereign Funds and foreign bond holders will be unloading government securities as fast as they can.

The U.S. Dollar has value only because it is backed by the full faith of the U.S. Government, and under Trump the U.S. Government will hit rock bottom as he kills off initiative, incentive, morale as he proceeds with his regime of persecution, revenge, patriarchal theocracy.

The male dominated Christian right may get their Republic of Gilead, but it will be an Amish society writ large. Agrian, conformist, backward and stultifying.

Musk and his great Occupy Mars fantasy, won't be able to launch a Roman Candle when he and Trump get done.

Gloria--Donald Trump Jr. persuaded his father into inserting JD Vance into the VP position. He had his reasons behind what he did and in time I'm sure his purpose will become apparent. Most likely it will involve the 25th amendment at some point. Then even the cat women will have cause to worry.

Keith, people are presupposing that we can come back after the next four years.

What part of Kevin Roberts "this is the 2nd American Revolution, and it will be bloodless if the left allows it" does no one understand.

Project 2025 is already in motion with Trumps cabinet picks and his non transition, and privately funded vetting. There isn't going to be a chance to redo this in four years.

1933 Hindenburg appointed Hitler as Chancellor, Aug 1934 Hindenburg died. Hitler then assumed the role of President and called for a plebscite, a national referendum, to gain approval for Adolf Hitler's assumption of supreme power. The referendum was associated with widespread intimidation of voters and significant electoral fraud.

There were no more elections after that.

Steve Bannon , now released from prison, is keeping a low profile, but he is the architect of deconstructing the administrative state, and expect him to play a role as an advisor to Trump.

Meanwhile we are like crows, chasing bright shiny objects and thus are distracted from what is really going on.

In my humble opinion, distraction, lack of education, algorithms and money controlling the national discussion are some of the bigger issues - leading to these issues that are similar to the 1930’s (although not caused in exactly the same way- the emotional reaction by a number of the population is the same). Anything out of control: greed, power, propaganda, etc. is typically not good for humanity. Even if you THINK you’re the victor- eventually even that has a downfall.

Trump is a threat to the stability of this country. There is absolutely no evidence of a concerted effort to alter our future, for the better. Trump is a disaster with no indication of a plan that will change what we have in favor of what he wants. In essence, time is moving us from good to something unimageable. Trump is surrounding himself with individuals who can do little besides utter the word "Yes." For the moment we are stuck holding our breath while we witness what Trump plans on doing with our country.

Donald Hodgins:

I'd like your opinion if you have time to answer. Due to the fact that Trump had court tomorrow #Nov262024 enwhich he could've & should've been sentenced to at the minimum of #34yrs @ #RikersIsland #JurorsSpoke #JudgeMerchan should NEVER have continued DJT's case. Donald should still have court tomorrow morning.

Trump was facing up to #126yrs in prison tomorrow for 34 Felonies. 1-4yrs per felony could have been his sentence.

It is absurd to think Democrats are legally allowing a Dictator who hacked our elections via #Starlink and to take over #wtp #WhiteHouse! #YouDoTheCrime #YouDoTheTime

Trump is NOT above the Law. Any law. Trump is a Convicted Felon.

As an Insurrectionist Donald Trump was not eligible to run for ANY public office legally. Who allowed for him to even run for a position let alone the highest level in our land?? Why was he permitted to do this?? Trump was disqualified PRIOR to the election; legally being an insurrectionist.

The #14thAmendment Section 3 clearly states this is illegal. How is the #Biden Administration letting this occur?? Why are we not yet protesting??? @POTUS @FLOTUS @VP @KamalaHarris

Whose attention does this need to be brought up to; to END this chaos??? Kamala Harris was the ONLY "ELIGIBLE " "Elect-table" candidate in #Election2024 for #POTUS besides the others of a 3rd party. Donald Trump was DISQUALIFIED due to the 14th Amendment Section 3.

We are running out of time. This is beyond terrifying. Yet we as a Democracy MUST STAND UP AGAINST the evil law breaking Felons and take a stand. NOW. We rightfully know that DJT could NEVER run for "public office; legally." DJT was ineligible to be a candidate in #Election2024.

Not only the college graduates. I've graduated high school and have been working class my entire adult life (though I've always sought to educate myself further and stay politically aware). Never taken welfare, though I have had to access state disability and unemployment, though I don't consider that welfare. It's not only the middle classes that will be hurt by the Trumpist crap, but the working class as well (I survived by working overtime, which he wants to get rid of, because a CNA's pay isn't all that great). The problem with the Dems is that they've ignored the working class. The only reason I voted for them is that I knew Trump will be actively anti-working class and I consider third parties little more than spoilers.

You sound as if there is something wrong about being on disability. That is victim blaming and masking this as a welfare mother accusation. There are a lot of disabled people in the country. Being on disability is not really an answer. The restrictions on how much you can make and save in a bank account keeps disabled people not only in poverty but in institutions where they are often left in inhumane treatment. People who receive disability now had to jump through humiliating hoops. Many people on disability have their social media apps under surveillance. Medicare doesn’t cover as much as it used to. Disabled people will have whatever they made taken away. They are the most vulnerable among us. No, being disabled is not a crime. Being on disability if you need it is a positive guardrail. By the grace of God go you.

Chaos almost always benefits the wealthy.

Thank you, Robert, for the thinnest of silver linings in a dark future. But it really makes sense, seeing that despite all his bluster Trump can’t afford to alienate his CEO and billionaire buddies.

Their loyalty is only to get their tax cuts back, and then after that, he only represents a liability because of his mental volatility.

They wouldn’t mind pivoting to Vance who is controlled by billionaire Peter Thiel. One false move by #DonaldDuce and the rumblings of power brokers considering a more predictable future through regime change might leak out onto the congressional floor.

I think you may be misunderstanding what rich modern 'investors' want. They are gamblers. They don't want high and solid share and asset prices, they want volatility that will make shares and assets plunge and soar so they can short on the way down and buy on the way up, sometimes swapping from buy to sell in milliseconds.

But most of all they want insider information. They want a corrupted system that gives them the heads up about what will happen next. I think THAT is what Trump has promised them - a crash timed to order, and insight into his announcements and policies that'll allow them to pick up an entire American economy off the floor. The gambler's dreamscape!

I can say this. I think the decision by the people who could have prosecuted Trump earlier this month was a mistake. I read that people are concerned of how to restrain Trump. Handcuffs, are one way to restrain a person. As i understand it they could have imposed jail time on Trump. Why didn't they? Is it because we are so infatuated with ourselves, as a country, that we thought it would be a poor reflection on ourselves, if we held him accountable? Because he was a president, and we have a certain obligation to treat presidents differently? We have a certain amount of pride in our president, there is nothing wrong with having pride in our president, but if the president has been found to be guilty of a crime, shouldn't he face the consequences of committing the crime? That would have required the offender to be placed into custody, and be imprisoned. Perhaps, we weren't capable of doing that. I was afraid to question what was going when that option was still available, because of fear of physical reprisal against myself.

Bessent was a leading member of the team whose bet on the Black Wednesday collapse of the British pound garnered over $1 billion for the firm. His bet against the Japanese yen in 2013 brought additional profit. He propses a three-point economic plan for Trump modeled on Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's "Three Arrows" economic policy. Bessent praised Trump's proposal to implement broad tariffs. Regarding Trump's pledge to impose blanket 20% tariffs on all imports, Bessent argued that these "were maximalist positions that would probably be watered down in talks with trading partners."

On other sites I've been discussing arbitrage of at least part of the national debt. Borrow at low rates in Switzerland, Scandinavia, Japan, etc. and retire high interest debt.

IMHO Trump wants to become as rich as Putin and the Treasury is his pot of gold. I expect DOGE to be the culmination of the privitization started by Reagan and GWB. Sale of government assets in real estate, sale of intellectual property, like "naming rights," etc.

Contracts often went to incompetent companies. I expect Trump to try to take a piece of all that action.

In healthcare, many Republicans have repeatedly voted to completely privatize Medicare. Many want to kill chidren's disability benefits, return SSI to the states, etc. They've tried several times to force the SSA trust funds into default.

The "Three Arrows" is a set of economic policies that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe introduced in 2012 and 2013 to revitalize the Japanese economy:

*Aggressive monetary policy: To end deflation and achieve stable 2% inflation

*Flexible fiscal policy: To support a strong recovery and mitigate external risks

*Growth strategy: To boost corporate competitiveness, promote innovation, and develop new growth industries

The idea behind the "Three Arrows" was that these policies would complement each other to create a more dynamic Japan with higher growth and lower risk of fiscal crisis.

Expand full comment

Here is what Mr AI has to say

Shinzo Abe's "three arrow" economic policies, known as Abenomics, were introduced in 2012 to revive Japan's stagnant economy. The three arrows are:

Aggressive monetary policy: Increasing the money supply to combat deflation.

Flexible fiscal policy: Boosting government spending to stimulate economic growth.

Structural reforms: Implementing changes to increase competitiveness, such as labor market reforms and deregulation.

The impact of Abenomics has been mixed. While it initially led to moderate economic growth and a boost in corporate profits, the long-term effects have been less impressive2. Inflation targets were not consistently met, and concerns about Japan's high public debt remain. However, it did help Japan avoid a deeper recession and brought some positive changes to the economy3.

@Daniel. Japan has been fighting deflation for decades. Not a problem here (for now). So what takes the place of that first "arrow" in Trump's world? I believe it will be a British-style shrinking of the administrative state (up to 25% of the economy) leading to a massive recession, leading to actual deflation... So it's the opposite of Abe's plan.

The government default is for the private sector to meet societal needs. But the private sector did not step up to provide Medicare type coverage for the public. Not profitable.

That's kinda why the government stepped in with Medicare.

So what has changed to think the private sector can do the job?

Nothing. Except that the GOP will now be in charge.

The private sector gains profits by cherry picking customers.

The point of government is a collective guarantee to cover those who are a bad risk for profit makers.

Such thinking is totally anathema to Republicans. At least it seems to be based on their actions.

Starting with GWB Medicare has been undermined so that a lot of it has been privatized. "Medicare advantage" is not Medicare and the advantage gores to the insurance industry.

On a comment about China trade hurting the US assembly workers:

His comment, although showing bitter resentment, illustrates why the con man Trump won the election. But, it was Nixon who opened China to US corporate overseas production. It is the ultra rich many of whom got that way from owning large shares of corporate wealth, who funnel money to the Republicans. It is the Republicans who most support and are supported by the fossil fuel interests.

Now Trump is using Tariffs as his main tool to support the US assembly labor who have been left behind by the corporate use of cheap foreign labor. But I read that international trade is very complex, and his mindless actions are tearing apart the complex trade agreements. American manufacturing companies are being damaged by retaliatory tariffs, raising costs for raw materials, and prices on their goods being sold abroad. Everyone suffers when trade is blocked.

So, the question is, how do you support the left behind low skill US labor, without hurting everyone in the world? Perhaps Biden had a clue. He offered incentives to US production of raw materials and goods. Instead of dumping sand into the gears of production, he dumped oil into the gears. And, his idea is to get the rich to pay their fair share of taxes to provide that lubrication.

I'd like to see all these high-earners, high-expertise types, to work an assembly-line or work as a nurse's aide for a day or two. They would hate it 5 minutes in. It is the working class that keeps things afloat. It is our labour (that so many look down upon) which makes money for the doctors, lawyers, etc. We make money for the rich by putting out the goods and services that make them wealthy. Maybe if the upper classes were paid what they are actually worth rather than what they siphon off, there would be more respect for the working class.

Still, fact is he stole this election. His support was diminishing, not growing. This is plain in-your-face Hitler-like theft by a Hitler-like group of domestic terrorists. It's time for Democrats to stop being doormats, and stop this fascist from taking power even if it means being perceived as fascist ourselves. Why wait for Trump to walk through that door, take that oath he intends to break, and declare a State of Emergency so he can start harming people? Biden needs to call a state of emergency instead, postpone the results of this election until it has been thoroughly investigated along with 2016 and 2020 to uncover and expose Trump's successful and unsuccessful theft of those elections. Cheaters cheat. High turnout is good for Democrats. The only time it wasn't in my lifetime was right after 9/11. We haven't had such an event, unless you count Trump's allowing thousands to die needlessly from COVID and crashing the economy. Those who voted for him did so because of his fraudulent statements and promises, so their votes were also stolen from them. Hitler took power because no one stopped him.

This whole election stinks like a Mt. Everest of rotting fish. And I agree with all that you have said in your post above.

Plus any votes Trump obtained at all was via fraud, by scaring people with his false scenarios and claiming to be the solution. Like a Mafia protection racket running for office. Musk created a database with his illegal sweepstakes intended to buy votes. So none of his votes should count, and anyone who voted for him should not vote again. They are mentally incompetent to make this important of a decision.

I don't agree. many don't even care that trump is a liar. There are no solid reasons to think the voters on the whole did not choose trump over harris

I hadn't read that, but knew there was such a letter. I read Stephen Spoonamore's Duty to Warn letter. Snopes made a lame attempt to debunk it, but they actually didn't. They questioned the data he looked at, but didn't mention anything about Trump getting access to voting machines and software. That's a big fat red flag.

The people who signed this letter are incredibly respected. I am going to try to send it to Harris through her comment section 1000 times. It can’t hurt to do paper ballot recount. And Trump sued 60 times with no justification at all in 2020.

And that's how he gained access to the voting machines and software. But I am convinced he cheated in 2016 and 2020 as well. So he's robbed us of our first woman president twice just to put his incompetent psychotic ass in a position to steal federal funds.

Yes...although this one constraint is not going to help 90% of our citizens to stop their downward slide into the abyss.
