I also believe he thinks all of us are hopelessly stupid. That may apply to a percentage of his supporters, but it doesn't apply to everyone.

Dump? What a freak I thought it was a pee video?

Trump could act out live the pee thing and it would not move the needle an inch.

Undocumented parents of US citizens are now fair game to be deported.

She’s arranged tournaments at Trump golf courses, served as the liaison to the Trump family during his presidential campaign, and even arranged Eric Trump’s wedding.

Now President Trump has appointed longtime loyalist Lynne Patton — who has zero housing experience and claims a law degree the school says she never earned — to run the office that oversees federal housing programs in New York.

Patton was appointed Wednesday to head up the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development’s Region II, which includes New York and New Jersey, where she’ll oversee distribution of billions of taxpayer dollars.

We know we'll still have bare minimum of a fifth of the country still thinking everything is fake news, etc. Hell, they probably won't even believe election results that don't come out in their favor. And a lot of them are those "second amendment people".

I seriously don't know where we go from here. Anti-intellectualism and hostility have been made the norm by such a substantial fraction of this country.

But this sounds preemptive in nature. And to release it at 10 PM Eastern? Really odd.
I would guess that Trump wanted Rosenstein to say he wasn't under investigation, Rosenstein explained why he couldn't do that and it literally took hours to hammer out a statement they could both live with.

We go back to ignoring them, waiting for most of them to die off soon, and invest heavily in education hopefully.

Oops apparently they have always been fair game and this document doesn't change any policy.

Just straight savagery. There were plantation slaveowners who felt bad about ripping families apart.

Few have more contempt for the GOP than me, but most are patriots and believe that are doing what's best. The problem is that they are largely deluded about things more complex than, "this is a horse," "this is green," etc. Don't fool yourself, many Republicans are very worried about Trump, as his meltdown could mean the death of the party, at least in current incarnation, but the divisions in the country are nowhere near where they were around the time of the civil war, where the North literally made much of the wealth in the South, and the way of life of most of the aristocracy, illegal. That's high stakes. This is just a buffoon carnival-barking conman funded by some rich people (and, perhaps, some foreign powers) and supported by racists and morons. Read some history.
I think a lot of people have more contempt for them.

I suspect many of them believe in anthropogenic global warming and steps could be taken to mitigate the effects but are unwilling to do so because it would alienate their donors and/or personally cost them money despite the fact that millions of people will be harmed.

I suspect than many of them believe that cutting back on health care will cause hundreds of thousands of extra deaths, but push for it because it will save them and their donors money.

I'm sure that many of them believe that immigration from Mexico is a net positive to our economy and essential for many large American businesses, but cynically promote anti-immigration because culture wars are the mechanism for winning a constituency that has interests which are generally opposed to the GOP's.

In general I think they are doing what's best for themselves and that's it. I don't see how it can be described as patriots doing what they think is generally good. I'm sure many of them are nice to hang out with and decent to their families and probably some are even generally good people, but ignorant and/or stupid. But, mostly they're bad.

I'm talking about politicians there. Voters skew more towards ignorant/tribal/not so bright and less towards evil, but plenty of aholes in the base as well.

A lot of us are hearing similar chatter-that a certain US ally has a "compromising" tape of Trump and is debating if/when/how to release it.
