On the Von Holst scale of Moronosic Activity, I’m assigning these a 5.5.

Note, this is a log scale, so that a level 5 on the scale has ten times the moronosity of 4.

ETA. For example. One of his most moronic tweets, the infamous

“Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do. Love!”

Hit with a record 8.2 on the Von Holst moronosity scale.

He then criticized late night hosts for favoring Democrats and suggested Republicans should have equal time on late night shows.

Even when we had a Fairness Doctrine, you dolt, it only applied to the news. Bring it back, Dotard. Your beloved Faux will be the first “victim.”

We should have a Weekend Tweet Storm topic. I’d worry if he wasn’t traveling and went tweet mute.

Tick, tock, Dotard. Mueller time is approaching.

The Trump-Russia dossier: why its findings grow more significant by the day

As US officials investigate potential collusion between Trump and Moscow, the series of reports by the former UK intelligence official Christopher Steele are casting an ever darker shadow over the president

Trump: trumpers and repubs have fox news, limbaugh et al on radio, drudge and breitbart - not to mention all the “news” coverage you get for no good reason (throwing rolls of paper towels?) - the white house press conferences are daytime comedy shows - you got that, so don’t complain about late night shows. You need to fear Mueller more than Kimmel.

More and more people are suggesting that Republicans (and me) should be given Equal Time on T.V. when you look at the one-sided coverage?

Sounds like DT wants to usher in an updated version of the Fairness Doctrine. That’s going to raise the ire of the Ghost of Reagan Past, blasphemy of the first order in the party of icons ignored.

Where does he find time. There is another Hurricane coming and he needs to head out to the park and practice his paper towel toss. He can spend some quality time with Eric and toss a few around.

Am I missing something?

Small donors are giving to the RNC in Trump’s name to “drain the swamp”. But the RNC mainly supports establishment Republicans like Flake, Strange, McCain, etc. Exactly the people the Trump base despises. Seems like they’ve been scammed, yet again.

These small donor contributions are really amazing… what has Trump and his gang done to help any of these folks? I drive by a house every day that is run down in a community that is not known for wealth. Just resently they started flying a larger flag… the flag is a Trump flag. Where are we going as a nation? No longer can we say whatever happened to Kansas - we now have to say whatever happened to the USA.

It was the conservative GOP that ended the FCC’s equal time provisions, the fairness doctrine, for political commentary. If your looking for love in Washington DC get a dog.

We’ll have to wait for KAC to come up with alternative definitions of “fairness” and “equal.”

This man is a fucking moron. If Republicans were given equal time, we’d be talking about him much, much less. What he’s attempting to say is that the media should give him equal time of positive coverage, or that Democrats should get equal time of negative coverage regardless of what current events demand. He’s criminally stupid.

Making reality a political battleground means that in America reality is up for grabs, and the long-term risk is that voters will become the prey of anyone who seems to provide security, strength and certainty. When the mind’s reality sense is repeatedly manipulated by clever people with devious intent, the victim’s mental ability to function effectively is eroded and they become disoriented. Rationality falls by the wayside. People behave erratically and because of their own ever-increasing uncertainty they become dependent upon demagogues and ideologues that speak confidently and appear to offer escape from the uncertainty.

This has happened to millions of Americans who, often lured by moralist bromides, have turned to neo-conservative spokesmen, ministers, and politicians and become dependent on them, even enthralled by them. It is remarkable how many of these prominent political and religious spokesmen to whom conservative Americans have looked for help, have themselves been exposed for serious hypocrisy, preaching morality but practicing what they themselves have labeled immorality. What is even more astonishing, however, is how dependent and willing to overlook hypocrisy and deception millions of their followers are.

This reluctance to see the gaslighters for what they are is the cornerstone of the gaslighting relationship.

Trump’s singular motivation is anger. It’s pathetic and dangerous.
