The Persecution of the Inmates of Congress Under the Direction of the Marquis de Trump

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...

GOP Needs to Lose in Georgia For its Own Sake

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...

AntiCapitalist MeetUp: Après moi, le déluge. Schumpeter's gale, herd immunity as 'dangerous fallacy'

Larry Kudlow continues the underlying theme of Trumpian nihilism and its trickle-down contagion of pixie dust and pseudoscience. Trump continues to see his numbers decline as his campaign put him on a superspreader rally schedule, attempting to repeat his 2016 victory of 155,000 votes in swing states while trailing 3 million...

vindictive Trump won't support covid stimulus vote until after election day, could tank the economy

Looking more like pathological Trump is going full scorched earth, not caring whether his “Trump checks” will get to potential voters. The economy will likely tank (more), now that Trump wants to give winning Dems more grief for the Blue Tsunami. And then there’s the super-spreader candidate for SCOTUS. Trump says he told...

Navalny WAS Poisoned, Say German Doctors

It seems Putin didn’t keep Alexei Navalny in Russia quite long enough for the poison to get flushed out of his system: Prominent Russian opposition activist Navalny was poisoned, German doctors say BERLIN — Alexei Navalny, the prominent Russian opposition figure and Kremlin critic, was poisoned, Berlin’s Charité Hospital said...

Trump's negative partisanship isn't ready for the GOP convention

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...

Trump is only 62% fascist or 29 Benitos short of a dictatorship

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...

Trump's Thuggery Will Cost Him the Election

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...

Stuck in 1980s' fear of the 1960s, Donald Trump wants you to think Biden will abolish the suburbs

The GOP wants you to be afraid, be very afraid. Trump wants you to pay attention anything other than the activity the Kremlin is doing for him and the GOP. Especially if you (still) live in the suburbs. And then Trump reveals his inner narcissist from the 1980s still afraid...

Krugman: GOP Worse than Scrooge

 A couple of weeks ago, I had a diary up here: We're Being Ruled by Sadists. Now, I can’t claim that Paul Krugman reads my diaries, much less is inspired by them, but he said pretty much the same thing in his column this morning: The Cruelty of a Trump...

We're Being Ruled by Sadists

Ever since he showed up on the national stage, Trump has been called — with good reason — a narcissist, a megalomaniac, a disordered personality. But he is also a sadist, and he leads a sadistic base. This point has been raised before on this blog — Trump is Sadistic...

Multiple Messages Being Sent By Trump And Republicans With Pence Visit to Border Facility.

I see the MSNBC segment on Pence’s visit to a border facility, and my first reaction is, “Why the hell would anyone want to allow this to be released to the public?”  Then, I took a look at Pence’s, Graham’s, and Senator Lee’s body language, and I think I understand...

'Club Gitmo' is now for children, too

During the 2016 presidential campaign, candidate Donald Trump gave full-throated support for resurrecting the Bush administration’s regime of torture for terror detainees. But Trump’s brand of state-sanctioned sadism promised to go much further. Trump warned he would seek reprisals against the kin of suspected terrorists, “because they may not care...

Have you heard this about the Republicans' tax bill?

Two years ago, I had a highly recommended post excerpting various pundits on both sides of the aisle forthrightly describing the increasing insanity of the Republican party.  The point was that the danger presented by Republicans was so obvious that a new genre of punditry arguably had been invented — the effort to concisely...
