Every VC in Silicon Valley next week: “just think of the poor, desperate employees! I need bailout money!” https://t.co/W6J0SAPAPg — PolitiTweet.org

@WScottGordon Only because the “Taliban 20” held the line and extracted much leverage over him. But the temptation to lavish trillions in bailouts on the donor class will be too great. No need to go back to 2008 — just look at the Covid bailouts. Near-unanimous GOP support. — PolitiTweet.org

Moral hazard remains the great unresolved issue of the 2007-09 Financial Crisis. Why would an institution act responsibly when they know that, at the end of the day, they will receive a taxpayer-funded bailout? — PolitiTweet.org

Jake Bequette @JakeBequette91

Republicans will cave, eventually. McConnell helped lead the bailout brigade in the Senate in 2008. The GOP knows where their bread is buttered. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats openly calling for taxpayers to bail out SVB depositors OVER the $250,000 FDIC limit — i.e. normal people bailing out the ultra rich. — PolitiTweet.org

Wow. So in addition to the upcoming Ridley Scott film, Spielberg is adapting Kubrick’s original script into a separate 7-part miniseries on Napoleon. I wish Kubrick lived to direct it. — PolitiTweet.org

@x26457474 @EJaydouble Yeah, he was appointed over the head of the five divisional commanders, who bitterly resented the political appointment (which it was), until they rapidly discovered that he was a military genius. Wild that commander-in-chief of an army was Napoleon’s first major command. — PolitiTweet.org

Jake Bequette @JakeBequette91

@x26457474 @EJaydouble In the early years, yes. She was a revolutionary who was also acceptable to former aristocrats (who Napoleon needed), and she worked her former lover Barras to have Napoleon appointed commander of the Italian campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Jake Bequette @JakeBequette91

@x26457474 @EJaydouble All true. He turned the tables on her when he returned from Egypt, but in the early years he was humiliated. On St. Helena Napoleon said Josephine was his lucky star, but Hollywood types always overemphasize her role in his rise and fall. — PolitiTweet.org

I need to do a podcast on Napoleon. In 1793, he was an unknown artillery captain, writing essays about committing suicide. By 1799, he had conquered Italy and Egypt, and seized political power. By 1806, he had defeated Austria, Russia, and Prussia, and crowned himself Emperor. — PolitiTweet.org

From the trailer it looks like the battle sequences could be Toulon, Marengo, Austerlitz, Leipzig, Berezina, and Waterloo. — PolitiTweet.org

@vicious155 I don’t know how you condense Napoleon’s life into a three hour movie, but I can’t wait to see Ridley Scott’s attempt — PolitiTweet.org
