Alternately he may never figure that out because he’s too busy retreating further and further into delusional fantasies where he’s the best and everything’s great. I’m just not sure at this point.

A reasonably sharp middle school student would know more about just about any subject than Donald Trump (except maybe New York real estate and Russian hookers - maybe). I’m not even kidding.

Yeah, that one was not surprising. He’s done things like that one a regular basis - he angrily takes firm positions, but at the same time demonstrates doesn’t have even the most basic knowledge on the subject. E.g. strong opinions on US nuclear weapons when he didn’t know even what the nuclear triad was, decided the…

Although they’re murdering teachers and students, the key word there is “Western.” They’ve got no problem with a religious education (as long as it’s their particular brand of religion). That kind of thinking is sadly not uncommon, globally/historically.

I’ve read something that at least hinted that might be the case, earlier. But it turns out that even the briefings he gets on various issues are no more than one page of (a maximum of nine) bullet points. Not a lot of information can be conveyed that way...

The interesting thing here is that she’s made her family’s businesses a part of the lawsuit, so the Daily Mail could reasonable demand all sorts of financial documents - including tax information - from the Trumps. This is great!

So much shit wrapped up in one tweet:

Me too. It’s that it’s so grossly, obviously unconstitutional, yet still survives as a common practice that’s both enraging and baffling to me.

They’re absolutely against it! Unless it only impacts poor and middle class people, in which case, sure, why not.

This is so fucking insane because the civil forfeiture laws in this country are so obviously unconstitutional. What kind of monsters would be against reform of these laws, much less threaten to destroy anyone who opposed them? Taking people’s money and goods without the possibility of due process of law is one of…

I have mixed feelings about seeing this because I know how ridiculously fictionalized it is, and it deserves more than the glib Hollywood treatment where manufactured dramatic moments are more important than the truth. Katherine Johnson’s real story is amazing and deserves a reasonably accurate film all its own. …

The problem is, when Trump said it, he didn’t mean it as a criticism.

I hope they lock the doors so he doesn’t wander out of the White House and get lost in Washington. Wait, no, I hope they don’t lock the doors so he does...

That would explain why he retires at 6pm in the evening...

Given the long history of Trump’s emotional and cognitive issues (inappropriate behavior, paranoia and long term holding of grudges, little to no impulse control, no attention span, unwillingness/inability to read, constant bullshitting - i.e. behaving in a delusional manner to the point where the idea of objective…

“Trump wasn’t paying attention for the briefing”

I don’t think they were claiming he wasn’t antisemitic, but that it wasn’t a motivating issue for him - but he was happy to embrace genocide to get the support of those for whom it was.

Obama: “America has this problematic history in many regards, particularly concerning African Americ-”

“Trump has previously donated to charities focused on combating AIDS”

I’d been thinking the same thing. This will have to tide you over until that happens:
