Trump is somewhere out there on the insanity continuum - or he is conducting the most elaborate head fake in history
His endless spewing of stupidity demonstrates his incoherence - or it is an effort to feed toxins to the collective brains of society.

The problem is that they “they” who could & should step up and say “this is just wrong and must stop” are all too eager to gather more helpings of goodies - are all to willing to let the insanity prevail for a few more rounds as more political & economic prizes get slid over to their end of the boat … and what they fail to realize is that if the boat sinks - we all go down - them too - and they will only understand that when their heads are under water.

Ha, ha! What a fool Honesty is and Trust, his
sworn brother, a very simple gentleman! I have sold
all my trumpery; not a counterfeit stone, not a
ribbon, glass, pomander, brooch, table-book, ballad,
knife, tape, glove, shoe-tie, bracelet, horn-ring,
to keep my pack from fasting: they throng who
should buy first, as if my trinkets had been
hallowed and brought a benediction to the buyer:
by which means I saw whose purse was best in
picture; and what I saw, to my good use I
remembered.

Ah the bloated man-child strikes again…it’s enough to ‘almost’ feel sorry for him. 70 years old and nobody every taught him how to have a ‘friend’. He always though have them bow and scrape to him, being a dominant bully and having them cower was the way to go. When they choose to follow the law instead of the Trump, he pouts. WHO elected this jerk???

It’s becoming more and more obvious that the 71-year old orange is not well mentally. His forgetfulness and outrageous comments on tweeter and otherwise are proofs. He needs to be removed ASAP.

I’m wondering if trump is actively trying to sabotage his own presidency by these epic level stupid tweets. These are comments by a president and so in the past they would have carried the weight of policy but it seems trump’s own people at relegating him to a type of irrelevancy… Josh Marshall addressed this in one of his blog posts yesterday and the paragraph I’ll copy below is instructive. It’s the most amazing take on a president I have ever read in my decades of following the doings of my government. And I will bold the really salient sentence. I’m posting the entire paragraph so the sentence is in context… as opposed to what trump does.
…
“Where this goes, it is impossible for me at least to say.
While the American president has monarchical characteristics, it is not a
monarchy. While it is understood that the President sometimes has policies
which he and hopefully in the future she may not understand in full depth or
fully know about, the US system is based on at least a broad belief that the
President is a real person, who has some relationship to the person on whose
behalf advisers and cabinet secretaries claim to speak. This last really bad
week seems to have gotten us to a new point in which administration leaders are
openly saying that the President doesn’t speak for himself or his
administration. Either in people’s understanding of what Presidents are
supposed to do or in the humiliations these descriptions likely amount to for
Trump himself, this does not seem like a sustainable solution to the Trump
problem.”

It appears that every time Trump gets angry it is because someone either disses him or refuses to defend him.
Trump may be President (??? Is he really) but his entire world still revolves around defending his own fragile ego and attempting to dominate anyone who might threaten his loose grasp on “reality.”

I can see Trump ordering Sessions to un-recuse himself and commence meddling with the various investigations vexing The Donald.

Isn’t there supposed to be some sort of wall between the AG and the President? Meaning isn’t the AG supposed to exercise independent judgment and, if necessary, have the capability to investigate even the President?
I know…not in Trump’s world where the entire apparatus of the USG is supposed to work for him personally.
“The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban”
As far as I can recall, the justice department reports to the president.

It’s maybe worth trying to follow this through, even if it may seem a bit off the original topic:
- The UK and the rest of Europe are too “politically correct” to defend themselves. Evidence: London’s (muslim) mayor says …
- The UK and the rest of Europe are constantly being attacked by terrorists. Evidence: Manchester and London in the space of a month
- Therefore, the UK and the rest of Europe are constantly being attacked by terrorists because they’re too “politically correct” to defend themselves
- Therefore, the US needs to ditch “political correctness” and get tough, or we’ll be under constant terrorist attack. Or, if there’s been a US attack recently, continue to be under constant terrorist attack.
Yes, this falls apart on any kind of close inspection, but this is the logic as far as I can make out. It’s the logic any number of people besides the president follow in supporting him. It may be easy to refute logically, but difficult to refute emotionally.
Back on the topic: If you believe that the president and those around him are the only ones who get that America is under siege and we need to take tough measures to defend ourselves, nothing else is going to matter much. From that point of view it makes perfect sense that disloyalty to the president, real or not, is disloyalty to America.
The facts of any particular case are irrelevant. Litigating them just reinforces the idea that the president is a lone hero in a sea of political correctness.
