I intended to write about my negative reaction to some of the hosts and guests on MSNBC laughing or expressing any kind of amusement when they talk about Trump or his minions. I don’t want to pick on Rachel Maddow in particular, but she seems to be the worst offender. Others like Lawrence O’Donnell, Michelle…

As we enter the dark days of democracy’s death there are several positive things I can think about Trump’s grandiose narcissism that can derail his quest to establish his ruthlessly cruel dictatorship. The obvious one is that some of his plans will fail so egregiously that some of his supporters in Congress will turn against…

I’m surprised that Trump didn’t call the bishop who called on him to be compassionate a Devil worshipper. This is the man who couldn’t be bothered to place his hand on two Bibles held by his wife when he was sworn in to be president. Perhaps he thought that if he took the oath without…

There he was. Jeff Bezos, the owner of both Amazon and The Washington Post, along with Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and the less familiar owner of Google, Sundar Pichai, in Billionaires Row at the inauguration. If he only owned Amazon, all things considered with Trump’s affection for oligarchs, it would make sense for him to be…

The titles of the same Sabrina Haake essay about Pete Hegseth have a different emphasis. RawStory’s title emphasized his lack of qualifications. On her substack, The Haake Take, the author focuses on his view about when it is permissible to use lethal force even if it might not be legal. Hegseth may not be the least qualified Trump…

The goes beyond Trump saying he admires someone who is tough on policy, which Homan is. Trump was saying he admires him because he sees him…

The Jack Smith report about Trump’s election interference was released last night a bit after midnight. Just before 1:30 AM Trump took to Truth Social to blast late night comic Seth Meyers. This is because Meyers said “Trump is caught in the middle between the MAGA diehards and the rich oligarchs who helped him get…

I don’t see anything surprising or particularly wrong with the story above. It makes sense that a conservative Canadian poltician like Alberta’s premier Danielle Smith wants to curry favor with Trump. What struck me was the hat Trump was wearing. With Trump, vanity is a prominent part of his narcissism. In this way he’s more like Narcissus than a…

How the holy Hell does Hezbo-f*cken-llah being involved in Jan. 6th pop into Trump’s brain when he’s downplaying what happened on Jan. 6th? Here’s is the excerpt about this from HuffPost: Trump took questions from reporters near the end of the roughly hour-long remarks, during which he pledged to make “major pardons” for people convicted of…
