Even Morning Joe was ridiculing the memo with a sad trombone. Trump was warned not to release the memo, that it would nullify his State of the Union address. Heard on MJ an actual Republican call for fellow Republicans to vote for anyone except a GOP candidate to send a message that the GOP needs to get its shit together and serve the country first.

I was struck by the fact that everyone on his "liar and leaker " list are highly competent, straight-arrow types (OK, Comey's history is complicated, I know): in fact, his list, plus Mueller, represents everyone in which I place hope that we will somehow get through this nightmare. Warner and Schiff in particular have really risen to the occasion.

Over and over, #45 is freaked out by competent, serious people, and anyone who opposes him in any way. Insecure bullying autocrat: the worst. He and his enablers are the ones who must be stopped.

Mon Feb 5, 2018, 09:32 AM

of Trump's tweets, Twitter should be held equally liable (criminally and civilly) for whatever happens. For Twitter to continue to allow Trump to stir up his base in an action that has the very real possibility of resulting in physical harm to Schiff and/or his family is criminally irresponsible of Twitter. Rational people understand the potential consequence of Trump's actions - i.e. there are a lot of bat sh*t crazy people in his base who might take Trump's tweets to heart and go after Schiff and/or his family. Negligent disregard of the safety of others.

Mon Feb 5, 2018, 12:01 PM
Feb 2018

In typical bullying style he attacks people for things they usually cannot control and are highly visible. (Height, weight, face, disabilities) It is the lowest thing to attack but also easy, as well. His minions seem to eat it up and think it shows how “smart” he is.

On the contrary, it does no such thing. If anything, it shows how shallow he is. His knowledge of history, substantive details and long term consequences of policies is missing so he goes after things that don’t matter or are irrelevant to the matter.

He is running out of vocabulary to use to belittle his opponents. Not that he had a vast repertoire to begin with, but when “Little” is the best you can come up with and you use it over and over, it just demonstrates your lack of creativity and intelligence. When you have to remind people again and again how smart you are, how you use the best words and have a superior education, it might be because you are none of those things.

The Twitter attacks are wearing a little thin and when you start to repeat yourself, it is time to rethink your tactics. Might not be the most effective strategy to go beyond the base.
