I think we have a early finalist for, to quote Monty Python, the "Upper Class Twit of the Year".

So US multinationals repatriated ~$500bn in 2018, out of a supposed $2.5tn-$3tn held overseas. Repatriation was one of four pillars of the tax-reform plan, and anyone who paid attention knew in advance it was complete nonsense. Who wants to bet me that major media won't follow up on why the total is so small, what it's done to the corporate-bonds market, what it means for stocks in 2019, or remind readers that they completely failed in helping them understand this when it was not yet law? The Times ran the Reuters story linked to above, and their tax reporter is humblebrag tweeting from the American Economic Association conference in Atlanta.

Speaking of Tlaib, she chose to be sworn in on Jefferson's Koran. Which if you know history, is pretty ironic as Jefferson owned that book in order to better understand America's enemies when he was studying up on the Islamic slave traders who were attacking us.

If this continues getting worse, it'll put bigly pressure on all sides to end the shutdown
At New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, as many as 170 TSA employees have called out each day this week, Thomas tells CNN. Officers from a morning shift were required to work extra hours to cover the gaps. Call outs have increased by 200%-300% at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, where typically 25 to 30 TSA employees call out from an average shift according to a local TSA official familiar with the situation.

Me too ....... I'll be traveling/returning though the port of Miami on January 19th. I will be pissed off if all those TSA dudes call in and I have to wait a couple of hours to get through C&I. I've been through that before when TSA conducted a work slow down over some issues a couple of years ago. They had 3 agents (normally a dozen) to process 3000 arriving cruise passengers. It was a cluster fuck. Yeah, I know, first world problems. But, it's been said that DJt has played a part in turning America into just that.
Frankly, I don't blame the TSA agents. No pay-check, fuck that, I'm not working. Just because Trump can't get his way doesn't mean that the agent's bills stop. You can be sure those that they owe don't give a shit that they're not getting paid either.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
