Kagro in the Morning - November 30, 2023

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin pay their respects to, well, they’ll think of something nice to say for two hours.

Donald Trump will be 100 years old midway through 2046... A lot of people did get very old waiting for Henry Kissinger to finally die, although he did give obit writers extra time to think up something positve.

George Santos wants the haters to know that he still has a lot of life left in his career. Santos is probably lying, but he does have at least until Friday for his expulsion. That’s because… wait! Did someone say “legislative process”? David devotes a segment to exactly what constitutes privileged business on the House floor.

Twitter is taking much too long to die.

More hostages, dead and alive, will be released by Hamas today. It would be nice if it all happened more quickly, but President Joe Biden has to negotiate with Israel, and members of his own party to make things happen.

Republicans want to pair border security with aid for Ukraine. That is totally unreasonable, purposely so. Great minds think alike, and Vladimir Putin thinks funneling migrants into Finland in order to weaken it and its security along the border is a fun troll.

At least the dollar’s down. That’s supposed to be... good, isn’t it? And the Dow’s way up. That’s also supposed to be good!
