    He does though. It’s not a joke. He really intends to have Gaetz, Gabbard, Kennedy and the rest. If he gets them he wins, but either way he’s ringing the division bell with every act and any Republican who attempts to stop him will never get back in the good graces of the party, and he further consolidates control. 
    The gears of history are in motion.

    I think Trump expects these appointments to succeed and I think the Senate will rollover and accept them.  Trump has already said he will just do recess appointments.  So, what is the upside for a Senator to oppose somebody like Gaetz? There isn't any upside.

    Was watching Seth Meyers' A Closer Look tonight and apparently the plan to appoint Gaetz as AG was hatched over a few hours on Trump's plane on the way to Washington yesterday. Gaetz was on the plane. This all happened unbeknownst to Susie Wiles, who was in another area of the plane while this was happening.

    I think this will be repeated many times over the next 4 years.  It is what we should expect. 

  3. I see minimal to no broad public or political support for an infrastructure project focused on a rail system in Texas. 

    Rural Texans will oppose the land usage.  Most Texans won't support any taxes for an infrastructure project.  Texans like using their cars to move around inside the state.

    If Texas does anything infrastructure wise, I hope the state dramatically increases water reliability/availability.

  4. Home prices only beginning to feel the bite of climate change, J.P. Morgan analysts warn | Morningstar


    ‘There is now a clear negative relationship between climate risk and house-price appreciation,’ analysts say

    But climate risk is finally beginning to be reflected in home-price growth. Rising home-insurance costs, for example, have been pushing property values down. "It has been recently documented that property-insurance expenditures have risen sharply in riskier areas since 2020," the analysts said, "even after adjusting for inflation."
