What Trumpeters don't ever seem to realize is that even if everything said about Trump were false, he would still be hugely problematic as POTUS based on the facts of his actions alone.

I asked my super Trump slappy friend and he informed me Trump is punishing the media and there is no law requiring him to let them in. I informed him of the long-standing traditions to which I was met with a hearty lol traditions this is why the American people voted for Trump. I then informed him the American people did not vote for Trump and he told me all about the 5 million illegal votes.

TLDR: Trump can do what ever he wants as long as it makes liberals mad. Also traditions and norms no longer matter.

Trump has created a dynamic among his supporters where every person, every story, every group, every country, every situation carries a label of "good" or "bad", defined by Trump himself. The details are purposefully ignored. For Trumpists, who are already very familiar with the black and white authoritative worldview of religion, this is not a foreign concept and is easy to grasp.

I'm surrounded by bodyguards. I'm surrounded by people. And I always tell them—anywhere, but I always tell them if I'm leaving this country, "Be very careful, because in your hotel rooms and no matter where you go, you're gonna probably have cameras." I'm not referring just to Russia, but I would certainly put them in that category.

And number one, "I hope you're gonna be good anyway. But in those rooms, you have cameras in the strangest places. Cameras that are so small with modern technology, you can't see them and you won't know. You better be careful, or you'll be watching yourself on nightly television."

I tell this to people all the time.

I'm friends with a Trumpkin from Texas. Voted for Trump for all the usual reasons. She's a teacher so when Trump put DeVos in charge of education, she started having second thoughts. After Comey was fired, she's now fully on board with getting Trump impeached. So progress.

Early in his show, O'Donnell said Comey called Trump crazy, "outside the range of normal" or something like that, but I can't find the quote. Did I mishear that or was it hyperbole?

There are 3.1M public school teachers in the US.

saw that comey quote on twitter somewhere, but it seemed like one of those "I heard comey told someone via grapevine line of talk".

Trump's personality is authoritarian, narcissistic, impatient, vindictive, can't understand basic science and has zero critical thinking ability and empathy so I can't imagine why anyone would say trump's crazy.

NYT: ‘Enough Was Enough’: How Festering Anger at Comey Ended in His Firing
Quote:
After President Trump accused his predecessor in March of wiretapping him, James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, was flabbergasted. The president, Mr. Comey told associates, was “outside the realm of normal,” even “crazy.”

I will never understand the thought process here (assuming one existed).

Thanks, th14. Yeah we all know Trump is a nutjob, but it's still a little bit of a shock to see someone as publicly antiseptic as Comey say it.

This doesn't scare me, it makes me feel better.

If he truly has a child's mind I'm confident McConnell knows it and actually will cut him loose the second it gets genuinely scary. No, I don't have faith in McConnell to save the republic out of integrity; **** Mitch McConnell now and forever and he doesn't have any ldo. But President Pence is a fine alternative for Mitch. It doesn't go to HRC.

I'm not even saying it's wrong btw, it's probably right. I mean the fiction that will come out of our time is going to be incredible -- Trump is a cartoon character and psychological case study on steroids.

The bottom line is that things are ****ed either way -- I'll take hilarious incompetence over calculated malice. The last tweet mentions containment and they'll contain him once he's a real problem (to their interests).

If Mike Flynn was subject to blackmail over ONE lie the Russians saw on TV, can we imagine what kind of blackmail Trump would be subject to?? The guy literally lies every other sentence.

Incompetent malice is probably closest to the truth.
