Tim the turtle is cool! I think it was independent journalist Brian Tyler Cohen who reported that the Iranian negotiators, knowing trump has dementia and is a raging narcissist, put psychologists on their negotiating team.

A smart move on their part.

Thank you! That could help!

Thank you, TC for TAFM again today. And, thank you for sharing Tim the turtle....too! I was beginning to wonder if you were okay after reading your first post of the day...that looked very familiar! Actually, I was very concerned...but it may take a while to clear your head....and post number two .... sounds much better... and soon the number to the mid-terms will be looking better! The year is half over so that means...it is not long until the grass will slow down growing around here and "midterms".

I could not believe they covered up the taking down of Trump's name from the Kennedy Center. It should never have gone up to start with...and he should be made to pay for the putting up, removal and reconstruction of the damage.

Personally, I will trust anything Iran says over what comes out of Trumpty Dumpty's evil mouth. Also, someone needs to take the phones...landline and cell away from him. He will get us all killed.

Finally, I have loved Jamie Raskins from the first time I saw him being interviewed on television. No wonder Trumpty Dumpty doesn't like him....he has a brain, educated and can speak in complete sentences. He is everything that TD isn't.

Don't forget to rest and please everyone pray for that tornado on the White House lawn and curtain-rain that we have been having in Indiana. Hugs to all that need it today!

I hope you are well along your road to recovery, and thank you for sharing your photo of Tim the Turtle. My tortico girl Tiger Lily is miffed at me for having gone out today. She sees me work from home 5 days a week, but you wouldn’t know it. BTW, I absolutely agree with Paul Krugman that the SpaceX IPO is nothing but a Ponzi scheme. Investing in AI is also a Ponzi scheme.

there's also a couple other good analysts who are calling it a pump and dump, coordinated Google and Anthropic.

Weather forecast in DC tomorrow is not looking good. Hot and stormy.

Thanks Tom for this post. Take care of yourself and rest too.

It really burns me every time I hear or read something about "... when the war started". What should be said repeatedly is "... when Trump started the war".

Well, let’s see…trump’s UFC gladiator matches will compete with 90+ degree heat and humidity, a high probability of heavy rain and/or thunderstorms, and swarms of nasty winged terrors like mosquitoes, gnats, termites, and so on. Much like last year’s comical military parade, this UFC testosterone loaded combat event could turn out to be another debacle for trump’s massive fragile ego. Love it for him and the dummies who forked over money to curry favor with El Lardo Jefe.

Hi Tim.

I'm very fond of turtles. Apparently I missed the news that you had gotten one.

I have the strangest thing going on in the comments section. It says "One reply hidden" which is new, and when I click for the drop down, a comment by Linda MacDonald shows, but very faintly - like ghost letters. It's actually sort of reminiscent of kuroko in kabuki, or hidden in the same way a stage whisper is secretive. Amusing, and I've never seen it before. Anyone know what's going on with that?
