    • Is the report about Trump bragging about having sex with a porn star too little and too late to convince some of his supporters not to vote for him? By Hal Brown, MSW

        Read article here. This is a summary of the article from Daily Beast which is a subscription website. This was the featured story on Daily Beast (here if you have a subscrption). These are the relevant excerpts from the Raw Story article: In an interview with the Daily Beast’s Jose Pagliery, a celebrity athlete who…

      • If Trump is found guilty he will scream “witch hunt.” If he knows his history he should be very worried. By Hal Brown, MSW

          This is from Wikipedia: The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. More than 200 people were accused. Thirty people were found guilty, nineteen of whom were executed by hanging (fourteen women and five men). One other man, Giles Corey, died under torture after refusing to enter a plea, and…

        • Trump’s psychological defenses are brittle but it will take more than a chorus of Libertarian boos to break them, by Hal Brown, MSW

            The HuffPost author quotes Ruth Ben-Ghiat: “But the booing is also a kind of lethal blow to the kind of ego that the strongman has because the secret of the strongman is that they are very weak and they are very brittle,….” The crucial qualifier above is “a kind of” because she doesn’t mean “a…

          • Trump just gave a gift to Joe Scarborough who, like Maggie Haberman and George Conway, lives rent free in his brain. By Hal Brown, MSW

              The fable of the scorpion and the frog has been used frequently to describe Trump’s self-defeating behavior. This is another example. He just can’t help himself. He can’t resist the urge. It’s in his character.

            • Being Trump means never saying you’re sorry and Unified Reich reference proves it, by Hal Brown, MSW

                The Trump campaign blamed the “unifed Reich” reference on a staffer and took it down but 1) did they ever say they were sorry and most importantly, 2) did Trump personally ever apologize? As far as I can tell the answer is not only no but he hasn’t directly the matter. An explanation coming from…

              • Ho-hum… Trump just violated the Logan Act but does anybody care? By Hal Brown, MSW

                  Law, Trump

                  The line between free speech and speech that violates the Logan act has never (to my knowledge) been legally drawn. This is doubtless because Trump is the first presidential candidate to send a message to a foreign power (which has in a previous election made an effort to assist his winning campaign) having a dispute…

                • Judge Cannon’s husband’s work for mobsters who were associated with Trump is a story not covered by mainstream media. Perhaps it should be. By Hal Brown, MSW

                    We don’t know why Judge Cannon is doing everything she can to make sure the documents case doesn’t go to court before the election. It has been surmised that this was because Trump appointed her and she wants to curry favor with him for whatever reason. Now we learn there may be more nefarious reasons.

                  • DSM-6 doesn’t exist yet but when it does it should include new psychiatric disorders and statistics, by Hal Brown, MSW

                      It take years for the American Psychiatric Association to publish a new Diagnositic and Statistical Manual (DSM). The first was published in 1952 and the most recent, number 5, in 2013. The DSM is often referred to as “the bible of psychiatry” as you can see by looking the term up in Google here and…

                    • Best line about Rudy launching his own line of coffee is from Joe Scarborough: “It’s made with Rudy’s sweat and a little bit of hair dye” and more about Guiliani’s trip down the karmic road to oblivion, by Hal Brown, MSW

                        Politics, Rudy Guiliani,

                        Below: The website for Rudy Coffee. It took a few days to be covered on Morning Joe, but the saga of Rudy Guiliani’s life journey, which could be seen as a trip down the road to oblivion along which he will suffer many well deserved indignities, made the news with his marketing a self-branded coffee.…
