Schadenfreude Open Thread: Getting Woodies from Their Own Hand-Crafted Crosses

The professional Trumplodytes are crappy, soulless little homunculi whose closest approach to honest emotion is sharing tales of their social martyrdom with each other — and the more gullible among the Media Village Idiots:

…For as long as the White House has existed, its star occupants have inspired a voluble mix of demonstrations, insults and satire. On occasion, protesters have besieged the homes of presidential underlings such as Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s political strategist, who once looked out his living room window to find several hundred protesters on his lawn.

Yet what distinguishes the Trump era’s turbulence is the sheer number of his deputies — many of them largely anonymous before his inauguration — who have become the focus of planned and sometimes spontaneous public fury.

“Better be better!” a stranger shouted at Stephen Miller, a senior Trump adviser and the architect of his “zero-tolerance” immigration policy, as he walked through Dupont Circle a few months ago. Miller’s visage subsequently appeared on “Wanted” posters someone placed on lampposts ringing his CityCenterDC apartment building.

One night, after Miller ordered $80 of takeout sushi from a restaurant near his apartment, a bartender followed him into the street and shouted, “Stephen!” When Miller turned around, the bartender raised both middle fingers and cursed at him, according to an account Miller has shared with White House colleagues.

Outraged, Miller threw the sushi away, afraid that someone in the restaurant had spit in or otherwise tampered with his food, he later told colleagues.

On Saturday, as Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s former strategist, browsed at an antiquarian bookstore in Richmond, a woman in the shop called him a “piece of trash.” The woman left after Nick Cooke, owner of Black Swan Books, told her he would call the police…


… A week ago, a Sidwell Friends teacher interrupted her lunch at Teaism in Penn Quarter to tell Scott Pruitt — eating with an aide a few feet away — that he should resign as head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

By Thursday morning, nearly half a million viewers had clicked on a video of the confrontation that the teacher, Kristin Mink, had posted on Facebook. By late Thursday afternoon, Pruitt quit.

“I would say it’s burning people out,” said Anthony Scaramucci, Trump’s former communications director. “I just think there’s so much meanness, it’s causing some level of, ‘What do I need this for?’ And I think it’s a recruiting speed bump for the administration. To be part of it, you’ve got to deal with the incoming of some of this viciousness.”…

Tom Davis, a Virginia Republican who spent 13 years in Congress, said Washington has always been a hotbed of dissent. What has changed, he said, is that aggressive tactics “are becoming more normalized.”

“We’re in a situation where bad behavior is being rewarded,” he said. “There are no filters. I don’t know where it ends.”…

Gosh, it’s almost like the guy currently squatting in the Oval Office actively encouraged people to be aggressively stupid and ugly — just like him!

    Well Rachel didn’t cheer me up tonight (not that anything will other than a massive GOP defeat in November) – but she certainly does her research. This SCOTUS nominee and the process that got him there is an absolute farce.

    I’ve got my next trip planned…just a quick weekend getaway in August to Miami to see Janet Jackson on her SOTU tour!

    She was here this past Sunday in NOLA for the annual Essence Festival, but I missed her and I’ve been looking for another date on her tour to see her and Miami won!

    Whoo whoo…I get to visit Miami AND get to see Janet tearing up the stage!!

    Really good floor seats too.

    And…now I’ve got to decide what to do in Miami. I’m flying into Fort Lauderdale Friday afternoon. So I’ll have most of the night Friday, all day Saturday, and most of the day Sunday until the show at 8pm.

    Right now it’s a solo trip, but I have invited my sis to join me if they pay for their own transportation to Miami.

    I’m excited!!!

    Republicans have cultivated this culture of hate. They have been rude, hateful and dismissive of the rest of us (fuck your feelings) for a long time, but with Trump’s approval, they have felt more open about sharing racial slurs, insults to women and threats to gays. I’m sick of hearing cries for civility when the least civil ones among us are suddenly challenged.

    I was raised to be respectful of others and to never speak up or make a scene. But I have to say, if I face overt racism or Trumpism, I’m speaking up and I may even make a scene.

    I have to say that after the incessant abuse from Trump supporters, many of whom have felt empowered to let the whole world know how bad they are, that decent people have suffered, I have very little sympathy for a bunch of people who live extremely privileged lives, have significant power, and have chosen to work for this Administration. If they’re upset that other people don’t like them (and, by all accounts, most of the people who don’t like them are either keeping their mouths shut or are remarkably polite in expressing their opinions), maybe they should reconsider their life choices.

    I politely refute any statement from kindly concern trolls condemning ordinary folks for expressing their feelings about these shit-bags. One this afternoon claimed that it was just reinforcing the ugliness of Trumpism. I pointed out that they have left us no other options since they’re completely unresponsive to any normal human communications from the people they’re supposed to serve. Doubt that it did any good, but it made me feel better. And if yelling at Mitch McConnell or flipping off Stephen Miller makes the people who are doing it feel better, that’s good enough for me.

What I need is joint custody where I am the domiciliary parent, which is more likely.

    There was some focus group that Frank Luntz’s cheesy-ass wig–and presumably Luntz himself–ran a while back with a bunch of ignorant assholes whining about how mean everybody is to them for voting for Trump, and one woman said something like, “I have the right to speak my mind without being labeled as something!” And all I could think of was, “No, you fucking well don’t, you asshole.

    As long as wackos don’t get violent, the verbal attacks on Republicans in public should continue to be devastatingly effective. It makes the vile fuckers squirm, there is usually headline news if there’s video, and the media coverage generally explains why the Republicans are on the receiving end of a middle finger.

    I see John McCain is issuing statements about the importance of NATO, basically subtweeting trump.

    Brian Beutler said a couple of weeks ago that if McCain is well enough to issue statements, he is well enough to issue subpoenas, by the authority of the seat and the chairmanship of Armed Services he clings to, of trump’s tax returns. I’m not sure of law– would he need a vote to issue that subpoena? Could trump challenge it? I assume he could– but McCain could call on his colleagues on the committee and in the Senate to do so. It would be pure crack for the media. But that would make things awkward for Lindsey, and Mitch. And even though by all accounts McCain and McConnell hate each other’s guts, McCain is even now loyal to his party leader

    LA Times continues to commit actual journalism every day with another heartbreaking story of the chaos, incompetence, and malevolence of this administration against a parent separated from his child:

    Hermelindo Che Coc came from Guatemala in late May to seek asylum with his son, Jefferson Che Pop, his attorneys said. His son was taken from him with little explanation, he said, and sent to a shelter in New York.

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials asked Che Coc on Tuesday morning to appear before an officer as part of his removal process.

    But officials promptly dismissed him because they could not locate his file, said Lindsay Toczylowski, executive director with Immigrant Defenders Law Center.

    He said those days in detention were wrenching. For 25 days, he had no news about his son. He was a given a phone number to call, but the calls wouldn’t go through.

    He finally connected with Jefferson once he reached Los Angeles by bus in late June.

    That first phone call quickly went from joyful to unbearable.

    “Papa, I thought they killed you,” Jefferson told his father, crying. “You separated from me. You don’t love me anymore?”

    “No, my son,” Che Coc told him. “I’m crying for you. I promise, soon you will be with me.”

    Each day since, Che Coc waits anxiously to hear from two caseworkers, a woman and a man he knows simply as Nancy and Guario.

    They tell him that Jefferson is in school, that he’s clothed, fed and cared for.

    This brings the father little comfort. His worries his boy may feel even more isolated than other children because he mostly speaks Mayan Q’eqchi’.

    The last time Che Coc spoke to Jefferson about a week ago he saw his son’s face via video. There was a prominent bruise on his forehead.

    “I fell off the bed,” the boy said, crying.

    “It’s OK, this happens sometimes,” Che Coc told him, struggling to find the right words.

    He wanted to comfort his son, to tell him that he was going to heal and be OK, but the reception was bad.

    The call was cut short.

    Dean Heller’s abortion switch
    By DAVID CATANESE 06/18/2011 05:55 PM EDT
    Without a conservative primary challenger flanking him to the right to press him on it, it may not be as resonant but the Associated Press lays out Nevada Sen. Dean Heller’s Mitt Romney-like switch on a woman’s right to choose:
    Back in July 2006, Heller told the Las Vegas Review-Journal: “I’m a Mormon and I teach Sunday school every week, but I do back a woman’s right to choose abortion. It is the conservative position.”
    Since entering Congress, however, the GOP lawmaker has voted consistently for legislation sought by abortion foes . . .
    Heller, 51, said he did not have an epiphany on the issue. “I was probably more libertarian when I was back in the state. I came here to Washington D.C., and there were certain votes that had to be cast.

    In order to support Trump, you have to be a sociopath. In order to work for Trump, you have to be a sociopath AND a psychopath. By definition, those who work for Trump have no empathy for others and no sense of personal shame. “You should be ashamed of yourself” simply doesn’t mean anything to them. At all. So public shaming and the embarrassment it brings is the only way to make any sort of impression on them at all. Too bad about the public disruption this causes, but the fate of the republic is at stake so strong measures must be taken.

    Hint to Miller: When they spit in your food they don’t antagonise you right after; it gets your guard up. On a related note: How did you find your meals at those other places where nobody insulted you?
