remember when Darrin called Obama a narcissist?
Umm
Withholding aid to Ukraine was illegal, but what Trump is doing in Lebanon could be even worse
But there’s at least one other instance in which Trump has delayed assistance that is at least as bad as the case of Ukraine.
Because that assistance remains delayed, with no stated reason, and it’s causing even more disruption in a Middle East that Trump has already turned up to a boil. Trump has pulled all funds that were supposed to go to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF).
Congress has authorized $105 million to assist the LAF in reducing the role of Hezbollah and pushing back against growing threats of Russian invasion.
But Trump suspended that aid, without providing a reason.
Lebanon and the LAF are in a position where the long-fractured society and nation could begin the difficult process of reintegrating,
but only if they can protect themselves from forces coming in from Syria—including Russian forces.
By withholding funds, Trump is leaving the protesters open to attack by Hezbollah,
and opening the nation to invasion by forces that, just as in Ukraine, see
the delay in the disbursal of U.S. funds as a sign that the United States is no longer interested in acting as a partner.
Lebanon is a nation on the brink.
Donald Trump is pushing it in the wrong direction.
Just as in Ukraine, he could be opening them up to Russian control.
And he’s not even bothering to provide an excuse.

Psychiatry professor calls for a ‘full neurological workup’ after
Trump touts record ‘sock rocket’
at rally
A psychiatry professor is sounding the alarm about President Donald Trump’s slurred speech,
arguing that the president should undergo a full neurological examination after yet another video showed him slurring his words in public.
“You know we just set another sock rocket… you saw that, right? The stock market!”
“Pharmacological? Perhaps,” he wrote.
“Stress? Maybe.
Sleep deprivation? Likely.
Organic cognitive decline? Quite possible.
Unfit? ABSOLUTELY.”

‘We got side-tracked by really bad economic policy’:
Moody’s analyst reveals how
Trump’s economy is a flop
The Peterson Foundation revealed in a late October poll that
only 35 percent of Americans believe they are better off than before.
A full 33 percent say they’re the same and
31 percent said they are worse off.
That is an
astounding two-thirds of Americans who aren’t benefitting in President Donald Trump’s economy.
tremendous successes for the top percent of wage earners, but it isn’t trickling down to middle-class families.
She noted that in
2018 there was evidence of a slow-down in wage growth compared to what was seen between 2013 and 2017.
median wages in some parts of the country didn’t move at all last year
the list of uninsured Americans is growing along with higher costs.Trumpcare!
the number of people without insurance has been increasing, childcare costs are rising,”
“We see a strong economy where people aren’t having children.
It’s very unusual to see the birth rate decline and that’s what we’re seeing.
40 percent of American households don’t have enough cash to cover an emergency.
An emergency, under the Federal Reserve’s definition, is something that costs over $400.
there is a greater demand for workers
but it isn’t translating to a demand for better wages or working conditions.
“That link that gives workers more bargaining power seems to be broken,” she continued.
“We were nearly there — we just got side-tracked by really bad economic policy,”

The oligarchy's Class War is winning triumphantly. Capital ING OVER Labor
The great American labor paradox:
Plentiful jobs, most of them bad
Unemployment in the US is the lowest it’s been in 50 years.
More Americans have jobs than ever before.
Wage growth keeps climbing. ???
People tell a different story.
Long job hunts.
Trouble finding work with decent pay.
A lack of predictable hours.
US Private Sector Job Quality Index (or JQI for short),
a new monthly indicator that aims to track the quality of jobs instead of just the quan y.
The JQI measures the ratio of what the researchers call “high-quality” versus “low-quality” jobs, based on whether the work offer more or less than the average income.

Trump’s second act is rife with enablers of cons utional degradation
THE TRUMP presidency has entered a dangerous new phase.
Administration officials who had some scruples have given way to men (yes, only men) whose first priority seems to be retaining their jobs.
Because the chief requirement for that is personal loyalty to the president,
who has shown himself to be without scruple, decency or respect for the Cons ution,
the result is the progressive erosion of core ins utions.
Mr. Trump seems to have found courtiers who neither look to mitigate his worst instincts nor have the courage to tell him when he is wrong.
You wonder what kind of pride they will be able to take in their service once it is all over.
