The recent video of Trump talking about the Iran War, while the anthropomorphic Easter bunny was standing besides him, was wild. I can only assume that parts of Trump’s staff knows this is unsustainable, and are deliberately not stopping Trump from making such demonstrations of his mental decline.

An important lesson that psychopaths and narcissists do not have the same inner life as you do. Trying to predict them using yourself as model will lead you astray.

Except for stone cold badass Mr prez, who just pops up with a triumphant fist pump.

Trump (like Reagan) was literally an actor, before becoming President. It is not that surprising that Trump can “act” when given an opportunity which arises.

We never saw damage to the ear tissue, just blood streaked on the skin.

Ear wounds bleed like crazy. It could be just a little nick.

Dude just casually climbs up to an extremely obvious vantage point with a long gun a stone’s throw away from someone under Secret Service protection, during an extremely public showing of an extremely controversial figure, and is allowed time to set up the shot.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Also if not incompetence, it would require a lot of people in on the conspiracy - random officers. That sort of thing leaks, unless everybody are really competent. And team Trump is simply not that competent.

It would also require the shooter to more-or-less agree to be murdered.

Republican voters could at any moment say “we won’t vote Republican in the next election, unless Republican Congressmen impeach Donald Trump”. And yet, they do not - rather the reverse, they would rebel if Republican Congressmen impeached Trump.

This is what 50% of America’s active voters want. For them, Trump is still infinitely better than an Obama Presidency.

Then why do you think it was scripted? Why wasn’t is just a guy missing his shot?

So Trump lied about the bullet hitting his ear. There absolutely was a shooter and a bullet - just because Trump lied about his ear, it doesn’t mean you can just ignore the dead firefighter bystander, and pretend there were no shooter or bullet.

I love the guy, and I love what he’s doing.

What exactly is it she thinks Trump is doing so well? Trump genuinely has done nothing good, right?

And yet, this comment is still much less disqualifying than the open bribes Thomas is receiving. Remember his RV.

Despite the fact that Microsoft was where it was then because IBM had chosen DOS for its PC operating system until that time.

Is this actually morally bad? Unless MS had promised otherwise, isn’t it just competition?

If true, it would still not be the stupidest thing Trump has said this week.

Surely you can’t expect Republican congressmen to have agency to protect American citizens’ privacy?

liberate your own country

Tibet was not China’s “own country”. It was imperialistically annexed.

The excuse of every imperialist. Even using the word “liberated”. Yellow man’s burden?

China has been acting like shit in Hong Kong, but it was originally Chinese territory. So I wouldn’t count that as imperialism.

China’s behavior in the South China Sea is a much better example.

ChatGPT normally writes at a way higher grade level than that tweet. It seems unlikely to be from a LLM.

China gets 37% of the oil normally going through the strait. So while China might be happy that the US is projecting less power, I assume the oil shortage will still be painful for China in the short run.

Have you ever heard of Tibet?

From your own article:

In Great Britain conviction on an impeachment has resulted in fine and imprisonment and even in execution, whereas in the United States the penalties extend no further than removal and disqualification from office.

So removal only. Which might even nor make sense, because he was never confirmed by the Senate. Trump can just immediately appoint him again.

He is “acting AG”. Not even confirmed yet. The purpose of impeachment is to take an appointee from “confirmed” to “non-confirmed” status. I am not even sure impeachment would make sense? Couldn’t Trump just make him acting AG immediately again?
