They have no problem with policies that actually hurt the middle class, working class and most especially the poor, policies that leave people struggling to put a roof over their head, food on their table and to obtain treatment for medical conditions – in some cases, life threatening ones. Yet they’re terrified of…

“I go after people as viciously and as violently as you can. It makes me feel so good.” - Donald J. Trump

Not just learned behavior – a family tradition. His grandfather was a bootlegger and brothel owner who left Germany to avoid being drafted and decided that panning for gold was too much like real work. So he became a bootlegger and brothel owner to make money off the flood of rubes looking to cash in on the Gold Rush…

There a Jean-Paul Sartre quote that perfectly describes alt-righters who claim their racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic and/or ethno-nationalistic posts and memes are “ironic” and “just for the lulz” (which is a poor excuse of a pretext, since the dehumanization and oppression of human beings isn’t anymore…

We have to take whatever little victories we can. And once out of office, his brand will remain toxic, and countries who now funnel him money via his hotels (and who knows what else), will give him the same treatment he gives those no longer of use to him, or who become a liability. They’ll forget they knew him.

It was painfully obvious that she desperately wanted to be taken seriously and treated as an equal by these world leaders. It was equally painfully obvious that she was an unwelcome interloper among serious people trying to have a serious discussion, a dilettante who was way out of her depth, had nothing of substance…

If the Dems trying to block the House humanitarian aid bill are successful, it’s not going to ease the children’s suffering or hurt Trump. It would just give him an excuse for the deplorable conditions – or to make them even worse, if only to make Dems look bad – and someone to blame. It would hurt innocent children…

Mike Barnicle did actually ask him what would happen to the farmers in his district if they had to do without the migrants who come across the border to harvest crops. Marshall readily admitted that “it would really tough,” saying that there 40,000-50,000 open agricultural jobs in Kansas right now, and 70,000 jobs that…

“Dammit. My job (and therefore, livelihood) depends on government funding for one of the agencies that would be impacted by a shutdown and yet I would happily watch from home, broke and figuring out which Christmas present to burn for heat if it meant not giving a single cent to this fucking wall.”

The US tends to deport Russian spies back to Russia, the country they were spying for, because, ya know, they’re spies, and after being convicted of or pleading guilty to operating as an agent for the Russian government, they don’t like to let them hang around so they can spy some more.

Right-wing conspiracy theorizing is practically an industry. Much of the right-wing conspiracy theorist contingent are just attention-seeking grifters capitlizing on the ignorance and paranoia of the right, especially that of the MAGA crowd. There’s books, movies, Alex Jones with his supplements and survivalist gear,…

Most, if not all, white people in America benefited from slavery, and the white supremacist ideology underpinning it, both past and present, whether they, or their ancestors in the case of modern Americans, were slave owners or not—regardless of what some Americans who want to absolve their ancestors and themselves…

Nope, too coherent. It sounds like Trump circa 2016, maybe 2017, but his cognitive function has declined significantly since, rapidly just within the last few months. His syntax painfully tortured, attempted sentences even more stunted, even less fluency, with ever more circuitous, meandering detours into matters that…

And his eschewal of books, or any reading at all. “From candlelight to early bedtime, I read.” - Thomas Jefferson ~ “I cannot live without books.” - Thomas Jefferson ~ “I read my eyes out and can’t read half enough...the more one reads the more one sees we have to read.” John Adams ~ “Reading makes a full man,…

And then he’d just upend the table when his blustery bluff didn’t pay off, just as he figuratively does when his rhetorical and/or strategical bluster is exposed for the ludicrous codswallop that it is.

He does think he’ll live forever — or at least a supernaturally long time. Remember Dr. Ronnie “Feel Good” Jackson saying that because of Trump’s “good genes,” he could live to be 200 years old? You just know that came from Trump, much like the “healthiest president in history” letter Dr. Harold “Hippie” Bornstein…

He would say something insulting, cringeworthy and/or mortifying. He ALWAYS does, without fail. Everyone is better off having him not visit, not speak, and in general do as little as possible, because he gets it wrong 99.99% of the time and always will because he doesn’t admit mistakes, and thus cannot learn from them.…

No, he’s afraid. He once reached out for a Secret Service agent’s hand going off a steep curb and again going down a not very steep slope. 

It could easily be both. He’s not willing to take the risk for something that’s not that important to him. 

Did you see the video of him during the 2016 presidential election when a protester rushed the stage at one of his campaign rallies? He was scared spitless. And why do you think he dodged the draft? He reportedly eats so much fast food because he’s paranoid about being poisoned—though that may just be an excuse to eat…
