They'll actually be 12k with the other 50% of the gold funnelled to trumps accounts as is the Trump tradition.

The Minsky Moment

Quote from: grumbler on March 19, 2026, 06:49:23 PMYes, and the comparison is an extremely apt one.  Sneak attacks during peace negotiations enraged the Greatest Generation, but Trump is as far from Greatest as it is possible to be, so he thinks that such attacks are admirable.

It was telling that he immediately recognized the parallel and yet embraced it.

Multiple high level Japanese officials were convicted of the crime of waging an aggressive war as a result of the Pearl Harbor attacks. Tojo was executed (for that and other crimes); others received long prison sentences. Not sure Trump knows that; I doubt that he cares.

The other aspect of the comment - the sheer idiocy of gratuitously insulting the leader of a major economic power at a time when the US is desperately scrambling to fine willing participants to help clean up its Persian mess  - is sadly just par for the Trump course.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
