Yes Jim. Pride comes before a fall. Leave it to little dick to inflict the pain on failure to himself and his hangers on. Soon come.

No Jim. Nobody are voting for right-center Vichy Democrats. No means no. Incrementalism is what got us here. There is no lesser evil.

Jim, yet another excellent piece on tRump's derangement and narcissistic injury causing him to lash out. What happens when he depicts himself as the Prophet Mohammad? If he's not stopped somehow I fear he could kill us all, either slowly or all at once.

He is headed towards world annihilation… he knows he’s dying and it’s his way of getting in the last ‘word’ a giant 🖕to anyone who spoke or acted against him. He tore down the east wing after no kings. He started a war in anticipation of the latest no kings. I can’t remember what he did after the 2nd no kings ( invaded Minnesota?).

Bottom line is he’s a psychopath malignant narcissist with dementia. He will keep pushing over boundaries until he’s pushed back and suffers unpleasant consequences. That’s the nature of his beast.

Unfortunately, neither the GOP, the courts or the general public seem to have enough sustained will to enforce the laws we have and stop letting him violate them and make him suffer consequences ( which for him is $$ and power loss). Until that happens he will drag the world into his abyss.

Fantastic reading of this situation with the Pope, it really does reduce down to the arising of evil in human nature. (Could be that I've been reading Paradise Lost)

"He lives in an alternate reality, and he’s forcing the world to live in it with him. It’s up to the world to decide whether libido dominandi will be the new rule of law, or if we will heed Augustine’s words and eject this government of latter-day Visigoths and Vandals once and for all."

I blame Mark Rutte and all of the leaders of the nations that crawled to grovel at his feet. He used their need for dollars and for that they, we and their people are paying.

And I blame us, we the great consumer, for it is our consumption, our insatiable mouths and minds that empower Trump.

And I blame the financial system, because it is debt that drives our ability to consume.
