IANAPs, so I can’t say if or how sadism is associated with narcissism, even the malignant kind. But Trump sure presents as embodying both conditions. President-elect Joe Biden on Saturday slammed Trump for refusing to sign the agreement into law. “It is the day after Christmas, and millions of families...
The Georgia Senator runoff elections are critical to the country’s ability to move forward, and to move out from under the heavy thumb of Moscow Mitch. But they are critical to the GOP’s return as a legitimate force in American politics — which can only happen if they lose in...
Reminding myself that during nearly two decades of my life, racial segregation dominated some states, and that in 2020 we are still battling some of the same issues preventing people from voting. As if we didn’t need more reminders of systemic racism. People are going to need to be “carefully taught”,...
Trump really thinks like a mafia don, granting and withholding favors (and sometimes killing people) according to his whim and needs. He that the government is his personal business, that he can dole out taxpayer money to his friends and withhold essential services from his enemies as though he were...
There is a story making the rounds on Twitter now — a video from 2018 has resurfaced. It’s Biden comforting people after the Parkland shooting. Footage of Joe Biden comforting Parkland families circulates on social media The clip shows former Vice President Joe Biden with survivors and their families at...
David von Drehle writes on Trump’s negativity, often revealed as the usual reactionary, anti-modern attitudes of conservatives. It coincides with the release of another film on Trump’s qualifications for office, #Unifit: The psychology of Donald Trump. Political scientists speak of “negative partisanship.” It’s a category, not a value judgment. It...
WaPo published an update to the estimation of whether Trump was more than a rhetorical trope as a fascist, or more of an actual, historical fascist. 29 more “Benitos” to go, Trump has yet to win reelection by rigged balloting and only has a fraction of the population incarcerated. Ripping children...

Mangoface clearly thinks sending armed anonymous federal agents dressed in military camouflage into America’s streets to beat up, snatch up, and generally fuck up American citizens exercising their Constitutional rights will help him win re-election. (It also feeds his sadism, his narcissism, his feelings of power, but mainly it’s about...
I know that focusing on just one portion of an interview that was actually a wire-to-wire cavalcade of fucknuttery may not be fair. I’m taking this clip out of context — the context being that it floats on a roiling ocean of crazy and is in no way the full measure...
Trump’s incompetence is not simply inaction, it has a theory for his brand of failure, namely “’executive underreach’ as a species of leadership failure that’s as destructive as executive overreach”. Much like sandbagging and the repeated absence of actual policy formulations, Mango Mussolini’s fascism is fiat(s) in a failed state. Underreach is...
A “virulently racist” Trump has made the nation seem like Stockholm Syndrome’s identifying with the terrorist, as Mary Trump doesn’t underestimate the Trump family’s vindictiveness. The last question by Rachel Maddow was concern for Mary Trump’s personal safety, now that the book is now generally available; she’s taken precautions. Denial is...
It’s now been confirmed and it was in the Presidential Daily Brief: Trump and Pence knew of the Russian bounty on US troops and did nothing. The Lincoln Project has gotten right on it: x Putin paid a bounty to kill American soldiers. @realDonaldTrump knew about it but did nothing....
Paul Krugman has done it again. His latest column combines the erudition of a Nobel laureate with the plain speaking of an excellent writer: A Plague of Willful Ignorance. A hundred years ago, he writes, there was a plague of pellagra disease in the South. A doctor working for the...
Talking Points Memo reports an interview Bunker Boy gave to the Wall Street Journal (behind a paywall) in which The Great Orange Shitgibbon said — really! — that some Americans may be wearing masks to signal disapproval of him — not as a preventative measure. I think the Lincoln Project...
Pence lies about curve flattening and Trumpists are so enamored of IMPOTUS* that they might sacrifice themselves without voting. Dick Cheney’s cardiologist calls Trump’s Tulsa rally “criminal endangerment”. “In a very real sense, (Oklahoma has) flattened the curve. … The number of cases in Oklahoma — it's declined precipitously.” — Mike...
I just received this e-mail from former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. It’s the full transcript of his speech today in Philadelphia, PA: x YouTube Video “I can’t breathe.” “I can’t breathe.” George Floyd’s last words. But they didn’t die with him. They’re still being heard. They’re echoing across...
Paul Krugman is always a pleasure to read, in that he is so often right, and so often cuts to the heart of the matter. This morning’s column is particularly insightful: Trump and His Infallible Advisers Trump and company didn’t make a one-time mistake. They grossly minimized the pandemic and...
Trump is tweeting after midnight, irritated that those “never-Trumpers” at the Lincoln Project made another video attacking him. This video has had 2.4 million views in less than one day and pissed off Trump.

I had to do a double-take when I saw the president asking about injecting disinfectant and using light to somehow treat a virus that has invaded the body. Does he not understand that to some those words coming out of the president's mouth is deemed to be medical advice for...
Lots of stories out about former President Obama endorsing Joe Biden, Bernie endorsing Biden, Warren endorsing Biden, pretty much every Democratic candidate for the nomination has stepped up to endorse him. (Even Tulsi Gabbard did so a month ago.) So now people are asking, what about Republicans? Especially “Never Trumpers.”...
Rachel Maddow lost it on her recent show as she described Trump's response to governors asking for help for critical medical supplies and equipment. Rachel Maddow justifiably loses it x x YouTube Video The New York Times reported the call as follows. Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana, a Democrat, said that officials...
Yes, we are seriously going back to this again. I was really being tough and so was he. And we would go back and forth. And then we fell in love. No really. He wrote me beautiful letters. They were great letters. And then we fell in love! ...

If you like Cards Against Humanity or Apples to Apples and think Donald Trump is an absurd, unnaturally hued doofus, these Wisconsin guys just might have the game for you. Described by its creators, Drew Mueske and Adrian Mulloy, as “a mature party game inspired by Donald’s ‘best words,’ his...
Expect Bolton to get called before House committees, despite the possibility that he would give some kind of press interview before the release of the book. It has been 30 days since the WH received the manuscript. x I have a suggestion for @RepAdamSchiff: Within five minutes of the Senate...
It is clear to Professor Eddie Glaude and many that Donald Trump’s assassination of Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani was narcissism and was not thought through. It now has all Americans in danger. Dr. Eddie Glaude: Assassination because of Trump’s narcissism When Americans travel, terrorists do not check whether they are Democrats...
Trump’s narcissism could compel him to want to appear in his own defense before the Senate during his impeachment trial. Needless to say, that would be foolhardy and an historical spectacle, BUT WHAT RATINGS! We know that in the Mueller matter, Trump’s lawyers managed to prevail in preventing Trump from...
Unlike the President, I am big enough to say congratulations. Mr. Trump, thank you for being in office when one of the most hideous men in history was taken out by American forces. Thank you to the Kurds, who provided the intelligence, the fortitude and the blood that kept people...
https://twitter.com/gregpmiller/status/1179939465135087616? Fortunately we have an index for the cost of Trump’s crime because Trump did try to shake Ukraine down for $250+ million of US military aid (taxpayer dollars) in order to obtain foreign interference in the 2020 election. George Conway demonstrates that Trumpian pathology renders him incapable of operating...
Actually her entire quote in the Washington Post is…. ”Trump can hug the flag all he likes, but it doesn’t make up for spitting on the graves of 2,996 people killed on 9/11 and nearly 2,400 American men and women who died in the war in Afghanistan.” Wow. Rubin may...
It doesn’t take a psychiatrist to figure out that the president’s behavior is that of a madman. Whether it’s an act or intentional is immaterial: The damage that Donald Trump has caused both nationally and internationally over the last two-plus years will take many more years to rectify. Early on in the...
Recently, the Showtime cable network aired a 7-part series entitled The Loudest Voice. The show centered around the behavior of a man driven by paranoia, narcissism, and sexual malevolence. If you watched even one episode it comes as no surprise that Roger Ailes as CEO and Chairman of Fox News...
I’m grateful and pleased that Amy McGrath has decided to challenge Senator Mitch McConnell in 2020. To be honest, I was convinced that McConnell would get a pass for next year. Before Amy McGrath came along, there was literally no one with the balls to take on McConnell, even if...
For the last 22 months, Robert S Mueller III’s trump-Russia investigation has been a political total eclipse. It has spent that time blotting the sun out from pretty much everything except mas shootings. But as I wrote earlier today, even though it is critical that the full Mueller report becomes...
Granted, none of the three — Max Boot, Kathleen Parker, and Jennifer Rubin — has been other than a critic of Trump. But having all three on the same webpage of one of the nation’s most important newspapers (and one read by Congressional types), perhaps carries a little more weight?...
To say that Donald Trump is a ig is to give offense to fine and upstanding porkers the world over. After all, at least swine don’t try to pretend that they’re Arabian stallions while they’re wallowing around in the mud. If this isn’t a saying in New York, it should...
Former GOP, and now independent operative Steve Schmidt was blunt and to the point last week. He foresees nothing short of a blue wave in November. One of his strongest points was the results of the 2017 special elections. Not even including the Democratic wins in the Alabama Senate race...
As 2017 draws to a close, President Donald Trump and his amen corner are bragging about his “year of solid policy accomplishments.” Despite approval ratings only slightly higher than the Ebola virus, Trump took to Twitter to soak up praise from Maria Bartiromo, who gushed that “Year One has been...
Enough with the credit where credit is due stuff. Enough with, well he’s got a great platform. Dana Milbank is an a**hole. He always was an a**hole. He always will be an a**hole. He is one of the reasons our national is in this mess. Does anybody remember his stupid...
