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 of the barminess on gruesome…

Trump's tele-rallies are as safe as going back to schoolrooms?
Trump believes that he can do tele-rallies (sic) but the Trump campaign has not ruled out holding in-person campaign rallies. The rest was the usual nonsense because don’t you know, Biden will destroy the suburbs (sic). And the delusional lies continue from Michigan’s Man of the Year (sic). Trump held what was described as his “first ever…
Trump campaign considers displaying statues at future rallies…
Just when you think we’re not going to go all degenerate art versus official art, Trump goes more Roman with triumphal graven images. Perhaps there’s a merchandising tie-in with replicas. If anything, Trump wants effigies out there, forgetting that there were the blimp babies. What better way to display Trump carnage than creating sculptures for performance spectacles where…
Shtick-POTUS* – Trump is all about the rallies, it's why he doesn't know anything about bounties
Haberman calls it “A re-election effort adrift, at once paralyzed by Mr. Trump’s erratic behavior yet also dependent on him to execute his own Houdini-like political escape.” And Yet Tucker Carlson may be planning his ascendancy to the 2024 GOP nomination only partially assuming Trump’s loss this year: “The moment Trump leaves, they will attack him,” he said. “They’ll…
How will Trump's rallies be covered the second time – now that they are also a public health threat?
Trump is pressing to resume shortly his regular “rallies” — with thousands packed in an arena despite the Covid pandemic. This brings to mind the wide, post-mortem soul-searching among the press for giving so much uncritical, long broadcasts of Trump’s rallies in the 2016 election. As just one example in “My Shared Shame: The Media Helped…
Trump will resume MAGA rallies 'in the next two weeks'
The MAGA rallies will resume until morale improves … or MAGAs start dropping like flies. Donald Trump has lately been jonesing for his rallies because 1) he loves the mirroring he gets from other racists and 2) rambling incoherently and telling silly lies are pretty much the only things he’s good at. Well, surprise! The rallies are returning…
Trump: “I hope we can do rallies. It's great for the country.”
We have reached some strange place but it’s on the path to the bunker and it’s a scorched earth. x Even the most stable democracy is threatened by having a sizable chunk of the electorate whose only governing philosophy is basically social resentment. Income redistribution or a bigger social safety net can't solve this problem. https://t.co/qgfINf2p5O—…
The Trumpian metric: he wants to golf again and do his rallies in stadiums even as 2,000 people die
Trump is barely conscious of the need for COVID-19 testing because he knows that more accurate data tanks his re-election. By displacing the activity to the states, he can attempt to segregate his responsibility for the damage done by his 70-days of deadly delay from his search for blame-targets. 2,000 people died in the United States today. In…

#KremlinAnnex protest Tuesday week 74 – “Nobody is above the Law” rallies in 50 states
x Who made the decision to give Lavrov a second Oval office meeting? There is no substantive reason for this meeting. Why didn't they invite Zelensky to fly from Paris? Very strange. I hope the horrible symbolism here was just a mistake & not on purpose. — Michael McFaul (@McFaul) December 10, 2019 x all…
Fox News rallies around impeachment talking points—but is it enough to save Trump?
After some initial hesitation on how to defend Donald Trump from allegations of trying to collude with the Ukraine government to influence the 2020 campaign, when Trump himself had admitted to doing exactly that, Fox News and most of the right-wing echo chamber have rallied around White House talking points. Robotically defending Trump and pitching…
Media coverage of Trump rallies is completely broken
The good news is cable news channels, even including Fox News, no longer treat Donald Trump rallies as must-air events. The bad news is that news outlets still cover the redundant, news-free rallies religiously and in the process help spread unchecked Trump lies. This week he was in North Carolina falsely claiming that “America-hating” Democrats were engaged in “a…
