I seriously doubt that trump with his concrete thinking (such as it is) is capable of understanding the difference between climate and weather. He only senses that which is before him at the moment. After all, who knew there so many countries? After the interview with the NYT yesterday it is more than clear that we need to fully emancipate the words "delusional" and "lie" as they apply to donald trump.
LIttle Nikki must have contracted writer's cramp recording all those names on her sh+t list. She reminds of the local Junior Leaguer castigating those who fail to deliver on their cookie pledges.
Ignorance, disdain for education and disbelief in science are no longer aberrations in the Republican Party. Those are all now features of the Republican Party.
Dr. Lance Dodes, a psychiatrist, stated on Lawrence O'Donnell last night what I have long suspected about donald trump. trump suffers from situational psychosis in which he loses contact with reality when faced with issues causing personal stress. He's unpredictable and poses an extreme danger. Obviously the 25th Amendment was written in invisible ink.
Except for bravely shoving aside the prime minister of Montenegro, "tough guy" trump folds like a broken ladder when actually faced by another foreign leader. It began on his first trip to Mexico City where he wilted before Enrique Pena Nieto. All that aside, it's very obvious that Vlad holds a very special sway over trump. He holds the tools of castration.
Roy Moore is straight out of a Tennesse Williams or William Faulkner novel. He could be the father of his daughter's child and win hands down in the South.
Bush's denouncement rings hollow even though welcome at this disgraceful point. The Southern Strategy of the Republican Party was just fine with these people, including Poppy Bush, until it crossed the boundary of establishment "decency".
In view of the painfully obvious the fact that trump hasn't been removed under the 25th amendment proves how utterly corrupt the Republican Party has become. They are an existential threat to the country if not the world.
From the very beginning of his campaign I have felt that there was no need to waste any energy on trying to intellectualize over donald trump. He's the complete encyclopedia of human failings. Period.
After that performance there should be no question now about the diagnosis from afar of a malignant personality disorder (among others). And the increasingly bizarre facial expressions and body language......we have a Mussolini impersonator here.
Although profoundly ignorant of nearly everything outside his own immediate self-interest, trump apparently did read that book on Hitler that he kept on his nightstand.
His "personal Vietnam" battling STD's on the club circuit must have truly been a living hell, making my experience in the Tet Offensive look like a playground spat. I utterly detest these sabre rattling phonies with a briefcase full of deferments and fake disabilities. Go to hell, trump.
All the fawning by the punditry over Kelly aside, I figure that anyone with any integrity and self-respect would avoid trump's snake pit. All who enter are forever diminished. I predict a short tenure.
There was never any need to try invoking the Goldwater rule in trump's case. He provided more glaring psychiatric evidence in public than could ever be obtained by personal examination or testing. Nor does it seem to matter much what diagnoses might be arrived it. He's clearly deranged and dangerous regardless of whatever hood ornament is attached to him.
The Goldwater rule is no longer applicable. Years of public exposure are worth more than any office examination or testing. The specific diagnosis is no longer relevant. This pitiful being is so very clearly unfit for public office.
Note to Jefferson Beauregard Sessions: Next time you face Sen. Harris try loading up on a few mint juleps before your testimony. It might relieve your nervousness and provide some truth.
You read it all the time in environmental scientific reports. "Faster than previously predicted or previously thought possible" or words to that affect. We simply don't begin to understand the damage we have wrought and what lies ahead. There's your answer. We're already a half century behind the curve. And now we have a reactionary Neanderthal as president.
He spent months telling the voters he was essentially insane, incompetent, ignorant and virtually promising corruption on a scale never before seen in this country. Nevertheless, many of them heard nothing but Benghazi and e-mail. And now some are becoming disillusioned?
I'll reduce this to a lower common denominator. You won't be finding any Trumpsters lining up to buy lawnmowers and shovels to do their own yard work or applying for jobs to spread hot asphalt in August. It's been my experience that immigrants don't walk off the job early on Friday and call in "sick" on Monday with a hangover. The vast majority are better employees than your average angry American. Mass deportation is not the answer.
While the media was distracted by trump antics and tantrums throughout all of the campaign it was obvious since at least last summer that there was a smoldering fire in the Russian connection. Too many telltale signs were surfacing but no one in the media was paying attention. The fire is now blazing. You simply cannot be cynical enough when it comes to the trump tribe. Watergate and Iran-Contra were invaluable learning experiences.
Chris Matthews (Chuck Todd) never met a question that begged to be asked nor a followup that demanded to be made. Useless is the word. All Matthews brings to the table are old anecdotes about Tip O'Neill.
The media and the press will soon be treating our first feral president as if he were completely normal. They crave the access as much as Trump craves the adulation of his followers.
My closet no longer contains a winter coat and has not for the last 10 years. I could go on and on about the changes that have occurred where I live in Texas during the past four decades yet they seem to go virtually unnoticed. The signs of global warming are everywhere if you have a memory extending more 30 years into the past. It's truly alarming.
Overall, a very poorly conceived and terribly conducted event. Just what you would expect from what now passes as our MSM. Murrow and Cronkite must be turning in their graves over the state of journalism.
Impeachable offense? Surely you jest. It was Obama's fault as we all know. Words now fail when discussing the orange one.
Vicente Fox knows exactly how to address donald j trump.
I doubt that Bannon’s liver will last that long.

This is precisely what the trump administration is all about - the establishment of a kleptocracy, not unlike that of his Russian benefactor.
trump simply does not meet the minimum requirements for membership in the human race.

Why? Because with all his wealth trump could not afford the price of an ounce of sincerity.
His "personal Vietnam" battling STD's on the club circuit must have truly been a living hell, making my experience in the Tet Offensive look like a playground spat. I utterly detest these sabre rattling phonies with a briefcase full of deferments and fake disabilities. Go to hell, trump.
Will no skilled care facility accept this man?

Those of us who expected the worst following the election were too optimistic.

No, actually trump is from hell.
This is just one small aspect of the "wisdom" of placing the vaunted businessman in charge of the federal government. It's working so well to date.
Further evidence that our fake president is motivated primarily by an attitude of stark juvenile defiance. What a dark stain on humanity he is.

And what would one expect from the Alfred E. Neuman of the legal profession?
Trump's stunt was as as phony as Trump "University". Sadly, much of the media and the punditry fall for it just like it was 2002/2003 all over again.
Sadly, not in the cards as you say. It looks like we will go out in humiliation - a victim of our own fleeting success, unbridled greed and ignorance.
Being inextricably entangled in crime Trump naturally would view NATO as little more than a protection racket. Who should be surprised?
He spent months telling the voters he was essentially insane, incompetent, ignorant and virtually promising corruption on a scale never before seen in this country. Nevertheless, many of them heard nothing but Benghazi and e-mail. And now some are becoming disillusioned?

The Goldwater rule is no longer applicable for the so-called president.

A superb acceptance speech that perfectly addressed the barbarian at the gate.

Spyguy: Could not have summarized it better.
In the meantime, witness the assemblage of one the greatest kleptocracies of all time.

Neither Trump nor his supporters have any use for historical facts, no matter how recent. Ignorance reigns supreme amongst this group.
This troupe of flying moneys now represents what used to be a major political party. The bar cannot be set any lower.
After considering the fruit salad of his life I am convinced this man has some very serious mental issues.
They do not know better deep down. SC has been at the epicenter of rebellion throughout much of our history. It's in the DNA.
The good doctor clearly has mental issues.
