Poking the Bear Again

Whatever, we’re back to the same ol’ shit now, and it’s totally predictable.

- but when you say "Imma shake this bitch up!" you can't really be surprised when people bring that assumption to the table.

that's not unpredictability, so long as you do what you say you're going to do, you're predictable

Trump was predictably belligerent in everybody's face, that didn't surprise me at all

I'm hearing from you he was predictably belligerent, and I'm hearing from Martin that he was a genius offering carrot after carrot after carrot.

Strikes me that both things were true a lot of the time, which still adds up to unpredictable to me. Its not that important really - but is was something that I thought was pretty uncontroversial about the Trump approach - shaking things up, trying non-traditional things.

Not good or bad - but as a matter of taste I prefer predictability, on account of being a normie and whatnot.

I don't think Trump's policies were the genius, the genius was the getting elected part

after that he was a typical GOP President policy wise, tax cuts, big military spending, pro forma protectionism

I'm not opposed to wearing a mask neither, I like masks

I got an Operator mask, I got a Gangster mask, and I got a Skull mask too

I'm not a gentleman what regularly accessorizes, but I've been tying a bandanna round my neck before going out all year, lest I need it to go into a store or something.

I think it makes me look cool - like a bandit, and I will be sorry when I no longer have the excuse to sport it.

I was in mask central tonight, dancing. Bell-bottom jeans, tie-dye & poofy shirts or you’re not in the In crowd.

reports are that there is going to be a "ceasefire summit" between France, Germany, Russia & Ukraine

Macron, Merkel, Putin & Zelensky

so the EU is in full on backing down mode at this point

the downside would be that the Russians have employed escalation dominance successfully

which encourages them to employ that strategy over & over
