Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

When you are heading into a high-stakes face-to-face diplomatic meeting with a unpredictable adversary, the first thing to do is fire the head of the State Department.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Maybe when he meets with Kim, he's planning on the new Secretary of State seizing Kim and water-boarding the N.K. nuclear codes out of guy, there and then?

AP reporting that Tillerson's aid, the one who reported that Tillerson was informed by Trump's tweet and didn't know the reason for his dismissal, has in turn also been fired.

Is there any doubt that Trump is acting in Russia's interest now?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

What the fuck is going on?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Business as usual in the Trump administration.

How many moderates does he have left? Mattis and that's about it? Everybody else seems to be foreign policy hawks, climate change deniers, trade protectionists etc. that will isolate America globally. Finis Pax Americana.
