‘Just Pathetic’: Trump Widely Condemned For Wannabe Dictator White House Statement | Talking Points Memo

The problem isn’t that DJT can’t tell right from wrong. The problem is that he doesn’t know there is a “right” and a “wrong.”

Romney: “If there are irregularities alleged…”
Characteristic spinelessness.

I sadly enjoy watching Trump flail in the hot sun. No “Top of the world Ma” flameout for him. We’ve got three months of this?

I doubt it. It will be golf in Florida and small “farewell” gatherings, and a pistol placed on the sidetable of his recliner every evening.

It’s like when he says he doesn’t see black from white, being as how he’s the least racist person in the world. :laughing:

It’s enjoyable on that level, yes, but this country will suffer more for those 3 months. It’s not like anyone with courage will rise to the occasion and institute common-sense coronavirus protections.

They’ve already failed at that task.

Ketamine. And then a boot to the groin. Actually, the other way around.

That is a good question, and also possibly part of a legal defense.

My impression of the man, formed over five decades, is that he does know. He does not care, but I think he does know – and does delight in his innumerable transgressions of common morality, norms, and laws.

I assume you’ve considered and rejected the evidence in favor of my position.

I got one .gif for Steve Bannon (and a few others)

Works for me.

Nobody at the Federal level will step up. Quarantine protection will be up to individuals and state governments. I have friends & family in Fla and Tx who’re smart and aware. Their attitude is “Come near me without a mask and I’ll squirt you with Lysol.”

If I were WH counsel, I would strongly advise self-immolation at the next press conference. You know — as a form of protest . . .

Yes this is a “slow and steady wins the race” night. I hope.

I was recently watching a couple of Saturday night live best of episodes from October 2000 that they were running. The Bush Gore skits played into the false narrative that became the conventional wisdom as them being pretty much the same. As we all know it simply wasn’t the case.

Hmmm… it’s pretty reptilian, whatever it is. I think he responds to stimuli: “useful to me” or “not useful to me.” His accuracy rate on selecting actual benefit is better in the short term than the long term.

He would burn for days.

Likely you are right. He delights is doing what’s wrong because it’s wrong, and that no one can stop him. It’s his delight in the “no one can stop him” part that’s been killing me these years.

But maybe we just stopped him.
