Did I mention the similarity between Trump and Queeg?

The engine that drives a malignant narcissist is their lack of self-worth.

Her repeated use of that word is a deliberate choice.

Expect our NPD-in-Chief to go ‘round another bend today.

Pelosi has Trump’s number. That’s why he is afraid of her.

Yes, it is worth it.

NPR aired an interview this morning with former NPR correspondent and author Sarah Chayes. Her recent book, Thieves of State, examines corruption’s debilitating legacy if left to go unchecked. This examination was applied both to tRump and to other political figures. A synopsis of the book can be read here.

So, yes, pursuing impeachment is worth it. And there are few presidents in modern history who deserve impeachment and removal from the office more than tRump. One should proceed with diligence and care while building a solid case.

As above have said: he’ll be utterly unable to resist. At this point, almost anybody except victims of PDS has to conclude that this is intentional, directed, and strategic–and that she believes she can drive him to even greater distraction and toxicity.

This is exactly what I have felt for a long time…

What is the point of having a Constitution if you are not going to protect it?

Going to be interesting. At some point he’s got to try something fun like ordering Barr to arrest Schiff or something else like that. Has to keep escalating.

my god. its like she has spent the last 33 months with her head up to asses of corporate party donors. For close to three years, Trump has been tearing this country and its institutions apart…and she thinks that impeaching him is “almost not worth it”?

If impeaching Donald Trump is “almost not worth” it, what they hell are her priorities? Passing laws that get tossed in McConnell’s trash can the moment he gets them?

Yep. I also think that, at this point, Nancy is playing not only for his removal but for an absolute massacre in the GOP Senate holdings.

Yes. By all means let’s absolutely assume that a public statement by a career politician means exclusively and utterly the way it sounds on the surface.

They are already “praying for him”. I’ll bet he loves that.

given the utter ineptitude of Pelosi’s handling of impeachment, anyone who thinks this is part of some grand strategy has paid zero attention to what has been going on.

here’s a hint – as predicted by impeachment advocates, the moment Pelosi was finally forced to admit that Trump had to be impeached, all her fan, followers, and sycophants suddenly changed their minds on the subject as well. Its total hive-mind…incapable of critical thinking.

And, Nancy, your revolting timidity about impeaching this monster makes you “almost not worth” being Speaker of the House. So, do your friggin’ job and stop grand-standing as the nation burns to the ground.
