HINDSIGHT - WRITE SOMETHING WORTH READING ABOUT OR DO SOMETHING WORTH WRITING ABOUT

HEATHER - 12-29
In an appearance on New York’s WABC radio on Friday, President Donald J. Trump told billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis and co-host Rita Cosby: “We just knocked out—I don’t know if you read or you saw—they have a big plant or big facility where they send the, you know, where the ships come from. Two nights ago, we knocked that out. So we hit them very hard.”
Officials said Trump was referring to a drug facility in Venezuela. But as Tyler Pager and Julian E. Barnes of the New York Times reported, the White House and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had no comment, and military officials said they had no information to share. Pager and Barnes added: “U.S. officials declined to specify anything about the site the president said was hit, where it was located, how the attack was carried out or what role the facility played in drug trafficking. There has been no public report of an attack from the Venezuelan government or any other authorities in the region.”
The reporters also noted that Venezuela is not a major producer of narcotics. It primarily traffics cocaine from Colombia. Meanwhile, Max Bearak, Simón Posada, and Christiaan Triebert of the New York Times reported today that in the wreckage left behind by one of the U.S. strikes on what the administration calls “narco-terrorists” were bodies, charred fuel containers, life jackets, and packets, most of which were empty, although a few had “traces of a substance that looked and smelled like marijuana.”
At Mar-a-Lago today, Trump said: “There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. They load up the boats with drugs. So we hit all the boats and now we hit the area, it’s the implementation area. That’s where they implement. And that is no longer around.” Trump declined to say who was responsible for the operation. “I know exactly who it was, but I don’t want to say who it was,” he said. “But you know it was along the shore.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who usually posts video of military strikes on social media, posted nothing about the strike Trump mentioned, although at 4:01 this afternoon, U.S. Southern Command posted that it had struck another small boat in the eastern Pacific, killing another two men. The new strike means that the U.S. military has killed more than 100 individuals in an operation widely condemned as illegal.
Tonight, Natasha Bertrand, Zachary Cohen, and Jim Sciutto of CNN reported that earlier this month, the CIA struck a remote Venezuelan port facility with drones, the first known U.S. attack on targets inside Venezuela. The U.S. says the Tren de Aragua gang was using the dock to store drugs and then to move them onto boats for reshipment. No one was at the facility when it was hit.
Sources told the CNN journalists that U.S. Special Operations Forces provided intelligence for the operation, but a spokesperson for U.S. Special Operations Command denied that allegation. The CIA declined to comment.
Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo commented: “It’s a good commentary on 2025 that the US President announces a major military attack on a foreign country and even the straightest arrows think, 50% chance it’s an attack, 50% chance president is on another cognition bender.”
Saturday morning, the day before Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky was scheduled to meet with Trump for talks on ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv. The missile and drone strikes damaged more than ten residential buildings, killed at least one person who burned to death, and wounded 27 more, including two children.
When Zelensky arrived in Miami for his trip to Mar-a-Lago, there were no U.S. officials on hand to greet the plane. This was a deliberate snub, especially when compared to the literal red carpet Trump had U.S. military personnel roll out for Putin when he arrived on U.S. soil in August, followed by Trump greeting him while clapping, a military flyover, and a ride with Trump in the presidential limousine.
Trump’s preference for Putin was evident yesterday, too, when he posted on social media: “I just had a good and very productive telephone call with President Putin of Russia prior to my meeting, at 1:00 P.M. today, with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine.” He later told reporters that he and Putin talked for more than two hours.
At the meeting itself, Trump later told reporters, the negotiating teams “covered—somebody would say 95 percent, I don’t know what percent—but we have made a lot of progress on ending that war.” He once again referred to his fictional claims of being a peacemaker, adding: “I’ve settled eight wars, and this is the most difficult one.”
But, as Luke Harding of The Guardian noted, there is no sign that Putin is backing off from his extreme demands, including that Ukraine must give Russia much of its eastern territory. Trump’s negotiators suggest that such a concession would satisfy Putin, but skeptics doubt it. As White House chief of staff Susie Wiles told Chris Whipple in August in an interview for Vanity Fair, “The experts think that if he could get the rest of Donetsk, then he would be happy.” But, she said: “Donald Trump thinks he wants the whole country.”
Russia’s second invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has lasted almost four years and, as Russian troops have routinely attacked civilian areas and civilian infrastructure, the damage to the country has been extreme. After meeting with Zelensky, Trump answered a reporter who asked whether Trump had spoken to Putin about the reconstruction of Ukraine: “I did. I did. They’re going to be helping. Russia’s going to be helping. Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. Once—it sounds a little strange but I was explaining to the president, President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity, and other things at very low prices. So a lot of good things came out of that call today.”
Quite literally, Russia invaded Ukraine and continues to smash it. As former Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) posted on social media: “With all this talk of how to end Russia’s war against Ukraine, and a cease fire, keep this in mind: If Ukraine ceases firing, Ukraine will cease to exist. If Russia ceases firing, the war will cease to exist.”
In his comments to reporters, one passage perhaps shed more light on events than Trump intended. Defending the idea that Putin, who is bombing Ukraine in an unprovoked assault, wants peace, Trump said: “I saw a very interesting President Putin today. I mean, he—he wants to see it happen, he wants to see it. He told me, very strongly. I believe him. Don’t forget, we went through the Russia Russia Russia hoax together. And he’d call me, I’d call him, I’d say, ‘Can you believe the stuff that they’re making up?’ And it turned out we were right. They made it all up, and despite that, we didn’t get into wars, or we didn’t get into problems, but we weren’t able to trade very much or any of that, which was a shame, because, you know, a lot of success could have been had by trading with Russia. They have great land, great minerals and other things, and we have things that they want very badly, but the Russia Russia Russia hoax, which was a terrible made-up fictional thing by crooked Hillary and by Adam Shifty Schiff and bad people, sick people. They made it up. It was all a made up hoax.”
But, of course, the idea that Russian operatives worked to put Trump into the White House in 2016 wasn’t a hoax.
The Senate Intelligence Committee, chaired by a Republican, unanimously concluded that “the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multi-faceted effort to influence…the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.” Further, Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort’s close relationship with “Russia-aligned oligarchs in Ukraine” meant that his “proximity to Trump created opportunities for Russian intelligence services to exert influence over, and acquire confidential information on, the Trump Campaign. Taken as a whole, Manafort’s high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services…represented a grave counterintelligence threat.”
In 2016, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would not consider lifting the sanctions placed on Russia after its 2014 invasion of Ukraine’s Crimea. Although Republicans at the time supported those sanctions, it was not clear that Trump was as firm. Lifting sanctions was part of the story of Russian support for Trump in 2016.
The Senate committee and Special Counsel Robert Mueller put more of the story together, explaining that in summer 2016, Manafort and Russian operatives “discussed a plan to resolve the ongoing political problems in Ukraine by creating an autonomous republic in its more industrialized eastern region of Donbas, and having [Russian-backed Viktor] Yanukovych, the Ukrainian President ousted in 2014, elected to head that republic.” The Mueller Report continued: “That plan, Manafort later acknowledged, constituted a ‘backdoor’ means for Russia to control eastern Ukraine.”
“All that is required to start the process is a very minor ‘wink’ (or slight push) from D[onald] T[rump] saying ‘he wants peace in Ukraine and Donbass back in Ukraine’ and a decision to be a ‘special representative’ and manage this process,” wrote a Russian operative. According to the Senate Intelligence Committee, the men continued to work on what they called the “Mariupol Plan” at least until 2018.
Trump has continued to pressure Zelensky into accepting that plan, so far without success. But Trump’s statement to reporters also suggests that with Russia’s economy crumpling under the weight of four years of war, Putin is desperate to grab Ukraine’s industrial regions and get rid of the sanctions under which his country has staggered since 2014 and especially since his second invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In late November, Russia began to sell its gold reserves in order to fund its budget.
Trump told reporters he had had another “very good talk” with Putin this morning, after his Sunday meeting with Zelensky.
Whether because of Trump’s or Putin’s weakening position—or both—both Trump and Putin appear to be eager to close the deal.
NEW INC. MAGAZINE COLUMN FROM HOWARD TULLMAN
I Hope Netflix Knows a Guy Who
Knows a Guy
How do
we get business leaders to act in their own best interests, even as their greed
and indifference keeps them from doing anything?
EXPERT OPINION BY HOWARD TULLMAN, GENERAL MANAGING PARTNER, G2T3V AND CHICAGO HIGH TECH INVESTORS @HOWARDTULLMAN1
Dec 29,
2025
I’ve pretty much
abandoned any hope that you can have an intelligent talk with any of your
former business associates about the merits of any of the programs, policies or
orders flying out of the Oval Office, or even be certain who is authoring and
issuing these diktats in the name of a demonstrably illiterate emperor. The sad
truth is that so many formerly rational and reasonable people are now MAGA folk
who are still trying to defend the cruelty, wretched excesses, despicable
slanders of the dead, flagrant thefts and grifting, narcissistic branding and
destruction of historic buildings for its own sake that are the hallmarks of
the second Trump regime.
I’m just praying that
some day soon it’s going to dawn on a critical mass of them that it’s only a
matter of time before it’s their own butts and businesses in the sling, because
what comes around goes around, and everyone knows that no one is safe from the
greed, jealousy and hate that thrives these days in our nation’s capital.
I hope that these
entrepreneurs, owners and operators know a guy who knows a guy or that, like
Netflix at the moment, they’re running around furiously looking for such a
person who’s happily connected, corrupt and complicit. Because that’s what
doing business in the U.S. for any large, regulated company has come down
to–it’s a mob and gangster mentality. You need a fixer with a checkbook and
access to Trump or you’re just as likely to be the next item on the menu. When
you get in a cage with a tiger, you’re not a visitor, you’re eventually lunch.
It’s media and entertainment right now, and paid-for pardons galore of course,
but don’t think any industry is safe or isolated from these crooks and creeps.
After all, they’ve watched Putin, Orban and their acolytes run this program
over and over again. You can’t reason with a tiger when your head is in its
mouth.
I’m not talking simply
about the cultists who buy every sick word out of the mouths of these crooked
cabinet members, vengeful regulatory heads, and other pathetic and punitive
agency executives. Unfortunately, the venom and poison spewed daily by the Orange
Monster and his band of enablers, sycophants and flunkies has spread so broadly
across the entire political spectrum that there’s virtually no one left in the
business world who still calls themselves Republicans and who are willing to
have any honest discussion at all about what’s going on right before our eyes
in Washington. But they all know in the back of their heads that Trump’s
favorite fable has always been about the tender-hearted woman who invites the
snake home and ends up being bitten. That’s why all the
tech CEOs prancing around the White House with blank stares and fake smiles
actually look like they’re walking on eggshells. They’re just waiting for the
next shoe to drop and hoping that it’s not a boot on their respective throats.
Of course, this
continued pattern of delusion, studied ignorance and abject avoidance is
largely because these makers and mavens foolishly continue to believe that
their own lives and businesses won’t be impacted or harmed by the demented
craziness, the TACO tariffs, the wanton destruction and hollowing out of entire
government agencies—not to mention the constant din of the drums of war. They
must be able to see that no one has the slightest idea from day to day of what
insanity to expect next from Trump.
They also know that
stability and predictability have always been essential attributes of our
economy, stock market, and trade policies. But as long as a dozen or so tech
and AI-centric story stocks keep driving the
stock indices to new heights, they’ll keep on ignoring the underlying fragility
of our economy and think that everything will be business as usual—if they just
keep their heads down and mouths shut. After all, it’s the nail that’s sticking
up which always gets pounded into the floor.
But my real concern is
two-fold. First, can we do anything to wake these folks up and explain to them
that they don’t have to be patriots or liberals to understand that the
continued damage and destruction of our laws, institutions, fundamental
beliefs, and actual economy are no longer simply debatable “political” issues;
they’re existential concerns for all of us, regardless of our political
leanings. As my friend Bill McGowan said long ago, “These guys have great
loyalty to their businesses, but their number one loyalty is to their own
tush.” How do we get them to act in their own best interests even as their
greed and indifference keeps them from doing anything?
And second, what do we
say to teach the new business builders and the next generations of
entrepreneurs about how the world works when honesty, effort, commitment,
integrity, the laws and truth simply no longer matter, when winning by any
means is all that counts, and when any issue or problem you may encounter along
the way that can be solved with a check or a timely donation isn’t a problem at
all? No longer do you work your butt off and build your business to success;
you bribe and buy your way there through crooked politicians, rotten
regulators, and agencies governing and ruling according to the latest threats,
demands and flatulent formulations from D.C. A material part of every business
calculation will now have to be the cost of paying fixers, agents and middlemen
to keep the intrusive and venal government off your back or to sic these fake
regulators on your competition.
Netflix’s owners and
managers must be sweating bullets right now and looking desperately for help
and leverage as they try to complete their acquisition of Warner Bros.
Discovery in the face of looming and corrupt opposition and promised
interference from the Trump administration and Trump himself, as well as
competition from the Ellison family who have contributed millions of dollars to
Trump over many years and who have already assured Trump that their successful
acquisition of WBD and its “independent” subsidiary CNN will quickly and
completely shut down one of the last viable media vehicles for criticizing him,
just as they have already done with CBS.
It’s increasingly
difficult as the new year looms to be hopeful and optimistic that things will
improve any time soon but there is one thing we can rely upon in watching all
of these greed heads circle around each other and constantly fight over the
spoils: if you count on self-interest, not self-sacrifice, from these people,
you will never be disappointed.
Feeding the insatiable
monsters heading our country at the moment is an exponentially more difficult
task. Hopefully, they will eventually turn on and consume each other as we’ve
seen with the regularly disappearing Russian oligarchs who are apparently the
world’s most accident-prone individuals. Those who foolishly seek power by
riding the back of the tiger often end up inside.

Trump thinks he’s going to get away with this
Trump thinks he’s going to get away with this
The Epstein files were legally required to be released, but Trump is burying them anyway.
After years of promises about transparency, the Trump administration believes it has successfully buried the Epstein files. And based on what we have seen over the last several months, it is not hard to understand why they think they can get away with it.
This month’s so-called release of the Epstein files was anything but transparency. It was a performance.
Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required disclosure with only narrow, clearly defined redactions. The names of minors, victims, and individuals actively under investigation were to be protected. That was it.
Instead, the public received pages of documents so heavily blacked out that they were not only functionally useless but at times laughable. Entire pages blacked out and redacted.
Then something even more alarming happened. Files began disappearing from the Department of Justice website entirely. There was no announcement, just Poof! Missing files.
That is evidence control.
What the Law Required Versus What We Got
The law did not make disclosure optional.
The order was explicit: Documents were to be released with limited redactions and made publicly available.
What we got was the opposite. Over-redaction where the law did not allow or call for it. Documents are being withheld without justification while files are being quietly removed after publication.
At the same time, the White House was doing something else that matters just as much: actively seeding misleading material into the public conversation.
The deputy press secretary posted an image implying that Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross were pictured with Epstein victims. The photo was not what it was presented as. It was a publicly available fundraiser image showing Jackson’s and Ross’s own children. They tried to paint these people as predators by manipulating photos with their very own children. Insanity.
That was narrative manipulation.
How This Strategy Works
On one side, legally mandated documents are being hidden, redacted beyond what the law allows, or removed altogether. On the other side, misleading and outright false material is being amplified to redirect attention toward political opponents.
That combination is a deeply unsettling strategy.
There is a saying about not attributing to malice what can be explained by incompetence. In this case, incompetence does not explain what we are seeing; the coordination is too precise and the outcomes are too convenient.
This is about controlling the story while violating the law quietly enough that most people do not notice.
The Trump Redaction Problem
Here is a detail that matters:
Donald Trump is not a victim in these files and should have no reason for redactions. He is not a minor, and according to what we have been told, he is not under active investigation.
And yet his name is redacted in places where other names are not.
Meanwhile, figures that Trump wants the public to focus on remain visible through photos, names highlighted in briefings, and more. Selective disclosure becomes narrative laundering.
Trump is betting on what he always bets on: exhaustion, distraction and confusion. He wants the public arguing about personalities instead of process.
He signed the law and his own Department of Justice is now violating it. He is betting on the idea that most people will not stick with the story long enough to connect those dots.
Why a Leak May Be the Only Way
If the full Epstein files were ever going to be released through official channels, we would already have them.
History tells us how this usually ends. The Pentagon Papers did not surface because the government suddenly chose honesty and NSA surveillance was not exposed because officials embraced transparency.
Those stories came out because someone inside decided the cover-up was worse than the exposure.
At this point, a leak may be the only way the full truth comes out. Trump is betting that no one will do it because he believes the files are buried deeply enough that they will stay buried.
What Is Actually at Stake
This is not just about Epstein.
If a president can be legally required to release documents, sign that requirement into law, and then still suppress the information through redactions, removals, and misinformation, then accountability becomes optional.
Once accountability is optional, the rule of law becomes merely a suggestion.
We will continue examining individual documents, missing files, and altered postings. The details matter, and they will continue to matter, but the big picture is already clear.
Trump believes he has gotten away with this.
And if the public allows that belief to become reality, the damage goes far beyond this one set of files.
Every vestige of Trump must be torn down
Why every vestige of Trump must be torn down
He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.
Donald Trump has always loved slapping his name on things. It reflects a desperate desire for acknowledgement, a yearning to be seen and known by others, a cry of “I exist, and I am important!” shouted to the universe.
Now, with the power of the federal government in his hands, he’s doing more of it than ever — much more than in his first term.
|
It goes beyond an exercise in branding. Trump is seeking a physical legacy, a collection of signs and structures that will pay eternal tribute to his greatness. Which is why it is so important — and why it will be so rewarding — for the next Democratic president to tear it all down and smash it to bits.
This isn’t just about petty revenge, even if there is undoubtedly some of that going on here. Emerging from this dark period in our history will require a sweeping, comprehensive strategy of repudiation and repair, one that encompasses the substantive, the procedural, and the symbolic. Fortunately, removing the physical remnants of Trumpism will be much simpler than reconstituting the federal workforce or rebuilding our security alliances.
The totems of Trumpism are multiplying
In just the last few months, Trump has embarked on a frenzy of construction and renaming that is proceeding so quickly it can be hard to keep track of. It’s almost as if he suddenly realized — after doing almost none of this in his first term — that amidst all the other laws, rules, and norms he so enjoys breaking, there was one he had overlooked: We don’t name things after sitting presidents, often not even after living ones.
In the past, a president had to merely hope that if he achieved greatness, the nation would one day express its thanks to him by erecting statues and putting his name on elementary schools. To hell with that, Trump said.
So the US Mint is going to create a commemorative $1 coin with his face on both sides. The US Institute of Peace has been renamed the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. The Kennedy Center has been (illegally) renamed The Trump Kennedy Center.
This is literally one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen, anywhere.

View on BlueskyTrump tore down the East Wing of the White House so it could be replaced with a monument to his sleaze, a ballroom he’ll probably end up naming after himself (though for now he claims “I don’t have any plan to call it after myself”).
He wants to build a gigantic triumphal arch. He recently announced plans for a “Golden Fleet” of new battleships, named the Trump Class, and explained that he’d be working on the design because “I’m a very aesthetic person.”

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 20:09:20 GMT
View on BlueskySome of these are programs and websites, but the ones that are most important to the president — the ballroom, the ships, the signage on buildings, the arch — are the ones that have physical form.
What’s going on here? Narcissism, insecurity, self-aggrandizement, the mania of the cult leader — sure. But there’s something else at work.
Trump is haunted by mortality.
How to live forever
Trump has been thinking about his own death lately, which is not too surprising for a 79-year-old man in questionable health.
The subject creeps in from time to time when he’s in a contemplative mood, talking about a subject that would seem to have nothing to do with his inevitable descent into the void.
“I wanna try and get to heaven if possible. I’m hearing I’m not doing well,” he told Fox News in August when discussing his attempts to end the war in Ukraine, uncharacteristically dropping his boastfulness just for a moment. “I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”
Then in October, Fox’s Steve Doocy asked him about it, and Trump replied, “I don’t think there’s anything gonna get me into heaven.”
Maybe not. But here on Earth, Trump very much wants to live forever. And unlike the Silicon Valley tech oligarchs pouring money into longevity research in the hopes that the secret of eternal life can be found (naturally, they’ll be first in line for the treatment), Trump is taking a somewhat more traditional path to immortality.
The fear of death has been a human obsession since we emerged from the caves and got smart enough to consider our place in an unfeeling universe. It’s why every religion promises some form of immortality, and why men of power seem inevitably to search for eternal life. If you can’t live forever in your body, and you may or may not have a soul that will endure, you can at least achieve immortality through fame. This is an ancient conception of heroism: Commit great deeds on the battlefield, and people will repeat your name forever, making you immortal. Or as Irene Cara said, “Fame! I’m gonna live forever!”
Trump will not disappear from people’s memories for many centuries, of that we can be sure. But he wants something more: physical manifestations of himself for people to gaze upon as they speak his name. His increasingly decrepit body may wither away, but the ballroom and the arch and the battleships will remain.
But here’s the good news: They don’t have to. Some of it will never happen (don’t hold your breath waiting for the Golden Fleet), and what does can be renamed, reconfigured, or just torn down the moment he is out of power. Best of all, unless he drops dead in the next few years, Trump will be around to watch the legacy he dreamed of reduced to dust.
The destruction must begin without delay
In the first hours and days of the next president’s term, there must be a concerted effort to utterly expunge the name “Donald Trump” from every federal building, outpost, sign, website, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse, and doghouse, except where necessary for historical accuracy.
And not just the name, but every vulgar trace of him: Chisel off the letters, take down the photos, melt down the stupid coins, tear out his patio and replant the Rose Garden, strip all the chintzy gold appliques from the walls of the Oval Office. Maybe even demolish the ballroom, but at the very least remodel it so it doesn’t look so much like an obscene mashup of the Winter Palace and Saddam Hussein’s bathroom, then rename it for someone he hates. The Obama Ballroom has a nice ring to it.
|
This is vital: Do it all in a way that is public, planned, and staged in order to create imagery that will live on.
The symbolism matters; every American should see video and photographs of Trump’s legacy being wiped clean as a vivid embodiment of a new beginning for the government and the nation. The images of Trump’s erasure should live on for years, reproduced and memeified, until they become as familiar as Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon or the sailor kissing the nurse on V-J Day in Times Square. In the end, the visual memory of Trumpism should have two parts: His repulsive desecration of our nation’s capital, leading to the restorative and redemptive eradication of every trace of him.
When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The answer Democrats give to them should be simple: Too bad. We have the power now. A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored or celebrated.
|
After that project is done, Trump will live out his remaining days the way he started, as a two-bit grifter on an endless quest for marks, admired only by the saddest among us. He’ll keep putting his name on crappy goods he’ll hawk to gullible suckers on TV, just as he has for decades. The truly devoted will open their wallets to buy lifetime supplies of Trump Bronzer for Men, Trump Blast Energy Drink, and Trump Adult Diapers.
But his name should not adorn anything official, anything that represents our country and its government. Trump will live forever, but only as a cautionary tale, one we tell successive generations to demonstrate that sustaining a democracy against the corrupt and the malevolent requires vigilance and determination. That cleansing purge must be thorough and complete, and to do it right, we should start planning now.
