Trump Suggests Supreme Court Will ‘Get What They Deserve’ While Ripping McConnell Again | Talking Points Memo

True, but by definition stochastic terrorism isn’t a thing you can order up like a pizza. It’s necessarily random and he has no idea if anyone will ever act on his threats meaningfully. His flying monkeys might harass the justices’ staff, I suppose. I think Trump’s mostly just raging over having been rejected and having it all turn out not to be a big mistake/bad dream/soon-to-be-foiled plot against him etc. His real argument is with reality.

That’s the root of the problem alright. That’s what fuels Narcissism - deep self-loathing and endless doubt.

Hey, donald Dunce! It’s not about “the fight.” It’s about “the election.” The one where you got your ass whupped by over 7 million votes. Maybe this explains why you are the number one Loooooooooser! AHAHAhahhahahaha!

Does Trumpy actually believe that he somehow won the election? Can anybody be that fucking stupid?

Yes. He is perfectly capable of successfully gaslighting himself and I think he has.

I can’t argue with any of that. Let me ask you, though, do you like baseball? You ever see a high fly ball to the deep outfield and you can’t really pick it up against the bright blue sky and you can’t tell if it’s going to leave the park? The trick is, of course, to sneak a peek at the outfielder and see how he’s reacting to the ball. Sometimes he’ll tell you if it’s going out. When it comes to Manchin, I’m watching Biden. He seems to think he can work with him. I think Biden has turned out to be better than we thought.

I consider this to be the most accurate perspective on his behavior:

As in, what he’s doing can’t even be called “stupid”, because that implies Trump makes an evaluation on the world that’s wrong, and he never gets to the point of evaluation in the first place.

Nikki Haley is done. She has flipped too many times on DJT and for that there is no Republican forgiveness.

As much as I love TPM and y’all, I’ve decided not to read any more stories anywhere about Trump unless the headline indicates he’s being indicted, been indicted, been arrested, been imprisoned. Or is dead. Now that we have a real POTUS, my energy needs to go toward supporting legitimate government in ways available to me rather than allowing old wounds to continue festering. Good health to all!

Sounds like a threat, possibly a terrorist one to me.

Amen!

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I have full faith that Biden knows exactly what he’s doing with Manchin. He knows what he can get. Hell, they’ve probably had discussions about how far Manchin thinks he can go and what he thinks he’s politically able to vote for. I’ve thought much of his opposition including that Op-Ed was theatre. That’s why we don’t see any sweating from the West Wing. They know what they can get. My only point is that there’s a limit. I have no doubt that Manchin will ultimately vote for the infrastructure bill and voting rights legislation. I only question what he’ll believe is politically viable beyond that.

I admire your good intentions. Alas, I’m weak.
