God, I miss Michael Crichton! Such a wonderful mind to have gone from us way too soon. I have felt like I was living in a "Lost world" for so long I've become extremely skeptical that we can dig ourselves out of the hole we have created for ourselves. Like Fox Mulder I want to believe and share El Gato's ebullience, but I'll believe it when I see it. The Swamp has already put its latest model in charge of the Senate. The GOP majority in the House is razor thin, and I've seen a lot of good people and ideas go down in flames in my 70 years, a la Who's The Punk Meets The Godfather. Keep the victory dance short and show us the results.
This comment is so on point. Read EGMs piece of this morning. I have been in that space for decades and everything he says is true about the space and the outliers who create companies. But I have also spent years in the District trying to make ANYTHING happen to no end. Money rules (power, too, but mostly money) and you never know from where it is coming and to whom it is going.
So I am NOT cautiously optimistic. But, in contradistinction to past years/events, I am ready to be pleasantly surprised. Thune was a setback, but the entire Senate is an anachronism poorly understood by most so it is hard to tell what it all means. We shall soon see.
Whitepill - We *know* money rules politics. It's brutally simple. Soros knew this fact and molded America into his twisted vision.
Musk saw that and realized you could push America into the vision you want with enough cash.
He's like Soros except he's oriented towards a galactic future, seems to genuinely care about humanity, and most importantly, is nearly 150X richer than Soros and far more autistic.
Would you be so kind as to speak to the connection between Irving Kristol's NeoCon designation and Communist Marxism? His son Bill Kristol has picked up the same banner and is misleading the public. A wolf in sheep's clothing?
My thanks, Yuri, for all your hard work, burning insights, humor, and cultural revolution leadership. My admiration for creating a dynamic business model based on those and for the great upgrade to baby Yuri's room. On such acts does the future of civilization depend.
Hola Tovarisch, congrats on your MMOH (Meme Medal of Honor). Furthermore, well done on integrating "the memes of production" into your screed. I have officially run out of things to do in retirement for the foreseeable future, so I will be haunting the stack more. EEE Yahhh!!! (in the spirit of Howard Dean)
Is there some place I could access vector art of the DOGE logo you have above? I'd like to get embroidered patches made. Also, an interesting meme idea for it: People in different countries could swap out the U.S.A. flag and substitute their own. It could become a global movement.

I’d like the shirt without the words covering his eyes… it’s disconcerting
Just a pic of Yuri with no text would be enough of an inside joke.
Of course, I'll only buy one if they come in black.

Yes check out my piece on him and The Bulwark: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-lick-boots-at-the-bulwark
A round of applause for Yuri, our Commander in Chat

Great piece, buddy.
Prefer a 60/40 or 40/60 cotton blend. Don't really wear 100% cotton much
