IMO, there is a non-zero chance that Trump will avoid incarceration because of a major medical event — either a fatal myocardial infarction or an ischemic incident. Remember back in the day, we all made jokes about Nixon’s phlebitis?

At least the CREEPsters, however unfortunate their acronyms, didn’t publicly target teenage girls. Which may only have been because Twitter hadn’t been invented yet…

    “You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”
    -Fran Lebowitz

    I just love that. Is Fran Lebowitz writing anywhere these days? As I recall she had a legendary case of writer’s block.
    and proving her point, again….

    According to Bergen, Trump was also shown a satellite image of the Korean peninsula at night, showing the lights of China and South Korea and the blackness of North Korea in between. Trump initially mistook the void for an ocean. When he was shown the bright lights of Seoul just 30 miles south of the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas, the president asked: “Why is Seoul so close to the North Korean border?”
    Trump had been repeatedly told that US freedom of action against North Korea was constrained by the fact that the regime’s artillery could demolish the South Korean capital in retaliation for any attack, inflicting mass casualties on its population of 25 million.
    “They have to move,” Trump said, according to Bergen, who adds that his officials were initially unsure if the president was joking. But Trump then repeated the line. “They have to move!”
    No action was taken in response to Trump’s bizarre remark, but the situation grew steadily worse, with a series of North Korean intercontinental ballistic missile tests and a hydrogen bomb test in September 2017.

    Reading down the thread, someone posted that it is indeed very real, posted by “Trump War Room”. But it’s funny when you think about the “jokes” Trump was making about Adam Schiff’s neck, because that PS gives Trump a true “pencil neck”. I might even wonder if it was done by a mole inside his camp. Probably an FBI plant. ;)

    He already proved he can get a doctor to say anything about his health.  He even dictates while the doctor transcribes what he wants the doc to say.

    And this goes back fifty years.  A doctor gave him the bone-spurs excuse, at the same time he was the self-proclaimed “best baseball player in the world”

    So I doubt he’ll suffer anything other than a loss of some of his $.   If there were a threat of incarceration (and I don’t believe any Democratic president would have the stomach to suggest it) he’d get a quick doctor’s note.

    What’s amazing about that fundraiser quote isn’t so much that Trump was babbling it out, it was the crowd doubtlessly was eating it up and telling themselves “ya’ man, windmills can break, tell it as it is Donald!”. It’s a singularity of stupidity were no fact can penetrate.

    I really don’t see how people get in this mind state outside being over medicated on prescription drugs. How else does one get emotional about windmills? This really reminds me way to much of talking to stoners back in high school with that whole “yu’r the stupid one with all your’ facts, har, har”.It’s way to easy to picture Bevis and Butthead saying the same lines Trump was saying at that fundraiser.

    This is Exhibit A for Trump is a Narcissist. And the right move with narcissists is to steadfastly ignore them – I know it’s hard when they’re the most powerful person in the world. What you do is focus all your attention on the effects their actions have on others.

    Unfortunately, Trump is worse than simply being a Narcissist. And, since he has got himself elected POTUS, it is impossible to ignore him. He has injected himself into a position in which he is, by definition, almost always the center of attention by nature of his job.  And of course, whenever he is checked, he can run to his staff, to the GOP leadership, and to his abysmal rallies to get juiced up again.

    ‘Tofu Is Gross,’ Says Mom While Fisting a Turkey’s Ripped-out Asshole

    Mom’s at it again, critiquing the “grossness” of your choice to bring tofu and tempeh to a holiday as she manhandles the foul organs of an animal carcass. This time her fist is deep in a Turkey’s torn-out asshole.

    “I just don’t know how you can eat that stuff,” your mom says, referring to your pressed bean curds, as she feels deep inside the turkey to make sure she’s removed all of its liver, heart, gizzard, and neck.

    “Don’t you ever crave meat, honey? It’s so much more delicious,” says your mom, who will be spitting out the unchewable, sinewy parts of a turkey’s thigh in just a few hours.

    Your tofu once grew as soybeans in a sunny field, while your mom’s turkey was probably raised in a crowded and poorly ventilated industrial production facility where it jostled among it’s kin before they were routinely murdered, their insides removed and then stuffed back up inside for people like your mother to find.

    “I don’t wanna baste it, maybe I’ll just cover it in bacon,” says your mom, inviting another cuter, smarter, more humanlike dead animal’s remains into her meal plan before judging your lack of support for its cold-blooded murder.

    “I can make you a salad but I think you should at least get some protein in there, like maybe a hard-boiled egg?” asks your mom, not fully understanding the nutritional makeup of tofu.

    “Ech, yucky beans and nuts,” she went on, while peeling up the skin of a dead bird in order to stick butter under. “I don’t know how you do it.”

    re: Chuck Woolery’s question, I don’t  believe Trump thought he needed dirt on Biden to win.  Trump thinks he is invincible.  But he also doesn’t just want to win.  He wants to win with dictator-level support.

    Despite the way he always acts to produce maximum conflict and play to the base, he still wants everyone else to love him too.  Because that is what he is used to in private and public life.

    HOUSTON (AP) – Houston’s incumbent mayor won a second term on Saturday night, holding off a millionaire trial lawyer whose previous support of President Donald Trump had become one of the main campaign issues.

    Mayor Sylvester Turner defeated Tony Buzbee during Saturday’s runoff election. Unofficial results released by the Harris County Clerk’s Office on Sunday morning show Turner capturing just over 56% of the vote. More than 200,000 votes were cast.

    In seeking a second term, Turner touted guiding Houston through the devastating floods of Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and reducing the city’s huge pension debt as some of his accomplishments.

    It was the second mayoral runoff won by Turner, who was a longtime Texas Democratic legislator before taking the reins of Houston, the nation’s fourth largest city and one of the most racially and ethnically diverse in the country.

    FYI, the Trump “War Room” Team surfs the web, looking for Trump images, memes, articles, twits, reddits, instagrams and 4 chans in “support” of Trump or his world view, not just for reposting to Trumps twitter accounts, but also for Trump to read and as “counterpoints” to long standing US Policy and Nat Sec and other official briefings.

    So, because of the web and confirmation bias, the people who make up the Trump War Room, spend a lot of time on the web consuming the contents of Nazi sites and domestic and foreign disinfo sites,

    which they then feed Trump, which winds up being “reposted” on his social media and influences official policy and resistance or corruption of longstanding US Policy.

    This is, of course, sadly, the key to Trump’s strength. He is exactly as ignorant and hateful as his base.  Maybe even more stupid. And he will never pivot toward a more moderate position; and his supporters love this about him.

    For years, these people complained that politicians never listened to them, or insisted on taking a nuanced support on policies, or seeking bipartisan support. But Trump supporters are not having any of this.  They want what they want.  And they want their Dear Leader to get it for them.

    The problem is, of course, that in the end, Trump doesn’t give a crap about these people.  They are only the vehicle by which he works his grift. And his plutocrat masters are happy to turn Trump loose because it helps them achieve their goals.  By the time all the suckers wise up, there won’t be anything left but bones.

    @James E Powell: Personally, I think that most people are afraid of change.  And indeed change can be scary.  If things are going sorta OK in their lives – they can pay their rent, their kids aren’t sick, their car isn’t broken all the time, they can pay their cell phone and cable bills, etc., then they just live their lives and don’t pay much attention to politics.  They especially don’t think about changing political parties.

    But there’s another dynamic going on now.  People who do pay attention to politics are often hugely pissed off by what Moscow Mitch, Donnie, and all their minions have done in the last 5+ years.  It has shown up in the 10+% swing in many/most elections since January 2017.  And those people aren’t getting less pissed off as time goes on.

    So, there’s effectively going to be a battle between the camps that don’t pay attention to politics and those who do.  Let’s hope that the people paying attention are able to carry the day in November and going forward.
