your lives, it's going to be uglier than we have imagined - but it is nigh! This week's biz with the joe and mika tweets is the beginning of the final mental unraveling, I think. He'll be drooling and short-circuited and twitching and frothing at the mouth and being dragged away in a strait jacket very soon.

1. Counting on it

[Sanity Claws]

2. I think this blackmail admission is very important

It is simple and easy to understand. Not as involved as the Russian collusion story.

[get the red out]

3. Hoping so!

I bought economy-sized popcorn on sale at the grocery, need to use some of it up.

[The Blue Flower]

4. Repeal the ACA with no replacement

I'd say this is the leading edge of that. It is so staggeringly destructive and self-destructive, no sane person could put this forward.

[Kaleva]

13. Even some Freepers say that's crazy.

[Ilsa]

32. It proves how clueless he is on big issues. nt

[NastyRiffraff]

47. He needs a "win"

He's perfectly happy with endangering lives to get one. At this point, he'd regard ANY major legislation as a victory. Bad, good, five-alarm horrible...who cares?

[MGKrebs]

5. I've thought the same so many times before.

Every week it's like "How can it get any worse? Surely the Repubs will disown him now."
There must be talk among themselves about it. The dude is stone cold mentally ill. I hope they are hiding the nuclear football from him.

Man, all the "insider" books that come out after this bullshit administration collapses is going to be epic. I predict at one point 9 out of 10 books on the NYT bestseller list will be about "behind the scenes in Trump's White House".

[Corvo Bianco]

27. It sucks that they'll all be written by people I loathe

Really detracts from the intrigue value when delivered by bona fide pieces of shit.

[Hekate]

36. Support your local Library and you won't have to pay for the privilege

Sign up early, though, because those wait lists are looong.

[pnwest]

39. Nah, not all of them - I'm betting Rachel's book

will be terrific!

[Corvo Bianco]

44. Oh of course. I was only referring to the WH folks--those with firsthand behind-the-scenes intel.

I want to hear their personal accounts but then again I want them to go to prison.

[pnwest]

45. LOL, I wouldn't believe a word of any of their accounts...

not like they'd lie or anything...LOL!

[radical noodle]

6. tick tick tick tick

[RKP5637]

7. My fear is he is going to pull this shit with NK, Iran or someone and all hell is going to

break out. They don't play games with fools like Trump, and Trump is so far out of any league he doesn't know up from down. I wonder if he ever bothers with security briefings anymore. His behavior is like some blowhard at the end of the bar after 10 drinks or so. As someone said, there are so many things going on in the world and this ass has pissed off just about everyone he comes in contact with.

[klook]

40. That no doubt is a prominent chapter in Brannon's playbook

They want war so they can get away with repression of political enemies, further scapegoating of immigrants, and required adulation of Dear Leader.

Every day I'm scared to look at the news for fear they're already getting their war on.

I'm not religious, but...Heaven help us.

8. His mental capacity, whatever he has or had, is spent spinning away on crap and not even remotely

tied to the office of a president.

[BSdetect]

9. The real menace is the GOP who are also complicit.

[Raster]

10. Most of the Congressional GOP IS BEYOND COMPLICIT...

...they are fast approaching "accomplices." I suspect that some of their anonymous SuperPac slush funds are repurposed Russian booty, courtesy of Putin and the KGB.

[Me.]

11. I Worry It Will Happen At The G20

[furtheradu]

12. I'm anxious about it too!

& him having pooty personal time.

[loyalsister]

14. Cute

Maybe I should send this to my friend who recently had a stroke? Ableism at this site constantly reveals that the hate and bigotry that I once thought was most prevalent on the right thrives where I least expected it.

[pnwest]

15. OH FFS, lighten up. I'm sure your friend's

stroke was not caused by the cognitive dissonance experienced when trying to justify the competing realities trump is trying to balance, and I'm sure your friend was not dragged away in a straight jacket. I'm sure your friend did not bring about his/her own stroke by being a fucked-up individual.

I make NO apologies for my desire to see the presinut reap what he has sown in the fashion of completely losing his shit. I am sorry if the image I created with my words was raw for you personally, but it has nothing to do with ableism, and it was not an attack on people who've had a stroke. I was talking about a nervous breakdown - and it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

[loyalsister]

22. Ableism is a belief in superiority based on body, physical and mental health

Every justification or ridicule that reinforces that sense of superiority is a statement that disabled people are inferior. It is ableist bigotry. It is hate. It is directed towards me, many of my friends, and most likely your own family, friends, and future self.

[lillypaddle]

17. Geez

Don't create a problem where there isn't one. Your post is really a stretch.

[loyalsister]

24. How is it not a claim of bodily and mental superiority

and therefore ableist ridicule?

[Ms. Toad]

19. That, and fat shaming, have become favorite passtimes here recently.

And when you call people on it, the response is to insist that all's fair against Trump - and to insist that using disabilities or obesity as a club to bludgeon Trump doesn't also hurt others who are living with disabilties or obesity.

Thank you for speaking up (even though it is clearly futile).

[loyalsister]

23. Agreed

I think fat shaming is a facet of ableism, as it is also based on bodily superiority. I have noticed that LGBT people are still open targets here as well.

[Ms. Toad]

30. Tell me about it.

I had a long list of posts in an ATA thread using being gay as an insult that were left standing by juries in about a 1-week period. I asked that the juries be overruled - as we were promised would happen if the juries clearly got it wrong. No response at all - which, of course, reinforces what any LGBT individual has always known - that kind of bigoted behavior is just fine here.

[Chemisse]

33. This seems pretty hypersensitive.

People need to toughen up a little.

After my then-teenage daughter had to spend a week in a psych ward, we made so many jokes about it together, thinking up all the euphemisms for mental illness (bats in the belfry, etc), and laughed uproariously. It was a wonderfully healthy way to react.

If I had a stroke someday and frothed at the mouth, I would likely make fun of myself afterward (if I was capable of doing so), just because you have to find humor and lightheartedness whenever you can.

[loyalsister]

41. Let's talk about when you are the person described in the OP

You making fun of yourself for your own benefit and entertainment may be funny to you. I don't find it funny when other people use me as an example to insult someone. It's hateful to minimize the sense of intrusion and feeling of disregard that comes with these comments.

[lillypaddle]

16. Let's hope it happens quickly,

before he falls sobbing into the arms of Putin. trump needs to be tied up, put in a rubber room, and kept away from anything and anyone that will endanger our country.

[cwydro]

18. It's spelled "strait" jacket.

Not "straight" jacket.

[pnwest]

20. Fixed, thx! Can I blame autocorrect? ;)

[cwydro]

21. Sure you can!

My phone doesn't know the difference either lol.

Yesterday I ran it over with a tractor accidentally; now it really can't spell.

[Vinca]

25. His normal pattern is to act fairly normal for a couple of days, then he loses it all over again.

[Scarsdale]

38. Iwanka

adjusts his meds.

[AJT]

26. And then the swearing in of president pence......

[american_ideals]

28. As long as media covers GOP hurting 90% of Americans

I am good.

Don't let the GOP push through their mean agenda to benefit billionaires.

[mainstreetonce]

29. I'm not sure if it is legally blackmail

But I hope the MSN keeps using that term.
Let the tweeter worry.

[pangaia]

31. OK I have to go out for a few hours..

Can everyone please wait on the meltdown thing until I get back?

I don't want to miss anything...

Thanks in advance.




PANGAIA

[HipChick]

35. I hear ya....Whose turn is it to watch him, until we get back..

[pangaia]

46. OK I'M BACK !!!!!!!!!!

[zentrum]

34. I dread Pence.

He's hideously dangerous. Trumpism/Oligarchy is the real enemy which will grow even more powerful once he's gone.

Stay awake.

[RKP5637]

42. Pence, is deadly dangerous!!! n/t

[world wide wally]

37. I wonder if Trump is one person that could really use a drink!

I normally wouldn't advise that, but he is so far gone without alcohol, I'm not sure it could cause him any harm and might alleviate some of the mental anguish he obviously endures day after day.

[procon]

43. The press is already reporting that Trump is going to give Russia

everything they want. How insane is that! He really thinks that will make Putin love him and imagines that he can go skipping merrily down the garden path, arm in arm with the former KGB agent and there won't be a price to be paid.
