Do you know why the vile MAGAcretin is in such a depressed state?

He convinced himself that he won the stolen election and now he's been whipped. He is exposed. All his lies have been exhausted. No one buys his bullshit.
That caravan lie will haunt him.

I was amazed that Manafort didn't strike a deal early on. I guess he expected he wouldn't be found guilty. These rich guys do these big dollar crimes for decades and get away with it, probably thinking they're so much smarter than other people, no one could catch on to them, or figure out the convoluted money laundering. He probably thought the jury would be too stupid to understand. And then, boom.

They have drunk their own Kool-Aid and convinced themselves they are what they tell people they are.

He watches FoxTV, runs his mouth about what he saw and then acts on impulse. He does not seek advice from people with expertise but rather from the toadies he surrounds himslf with. He is truly a very stupid man. Inexcusable in this day and age and even more so as president of this country.

Mon Nov 19, 2018, 12:35 PM
Nov 2018

His business is actually a very small company with only about 12 employees, some of whom are family members. He's never been a CEO of a public company; the Trump Organization doesn't even have a board of directors he ever had to answer to. It's not much different from a little corner hardware store except for the amount of money that goes through it, much of it acquired under dodgy circumstances. Nobody ever challenged anything he ever did. And because he's an ignorant, arrogant narcissist, he simply assumed that being president would be the same.

Trump is blinded by his narcissism. He has been running away from his own sense of worthlessness through the self aggrandizement and family money that he has moments where he convinces himself that he is actually good. He has been able to con people but he has never been good.

I have said before that without his family fortune he would have ended up in prison or dead decades ago.

9. I still lean a bit towards an alternate view of his "win"
Wed Nov 14, 2018, 06:12 PM
Nov 2018

that is held by some and quite interesting.

He really did not start out to win. He started out to campaign and rack in more money and contacts by which to add to his wealth, which may account for the obvious other cons he brought into his campaign. They all were there for the political pig trough, but clearly not to govern.

Melania was in the process of divorce...getting rid of him. No one knows about their legal agreement, but again, the scuttlebut was that he made her promise to stay with him if he won. When he won, she cried.

Russia really, really wanted him installed...and apparently saw to it...with or without his tacit agreement.

IDK, but it could make some sense and describe a few things...along with the fact that Manafort brought in Pence as VP. Crooked as the rest of them.

Also could explain why he just doesn't give a sh## any more or have any taste for things like Veteran's Day or even any semblance of governing, etc. He's losing his greatest asset...his brand...it's going to be less than worthless...more like a millstone around any neck that it currently occupies. And we'll just have to wait and see what the legal consequences for all involved...including the entire Republican Party. They are complicit up to their weasly RNC necks.

Trump never wanted to win, he wanted the publicity for a TV show, for Trump News or whatever. His big accomplishment in his sad life was the Apprentice, he wanted those glory days back. Putin and his Republican cronies pushed Trump into the winner's circle.

Right now Trump is scared shitless, as Rachel Maddow said, this new AG is his last Hail Mary pass. I still think that Trump may have a nervous breakdown, he is not a tough guy, he may try to use some medical excuse to get him out of his situation, Cadet Bone Spurs, Tension. (purposely misspelled.

Sort of like the latest round of House races--they cheated their asses off and STILL lost. They're trying to salvage the Florida Senate seat and the Georgia Statehouse, but they're losing (Republicanese: "loosing" ) ground every day that close examination is allowed to continue (which is why they are so desperate to stop it).

How EPIC ... would a pay-per-view special (ala Phil and Tiger coming up here) of BHO vs Trump in a round of golf ... be?

I think Obama should propose doing just that, with ALL of the inevitable MILLION$ of profits ... to be donated to the Charity of the Winners Choice. And either of their own Foundations are excluded.

Seriously, it would be REALLY fun to watch The Donald squirm if Obama proposed this idea. He'd HATE the idea that all the money would go ELSEWHERE ... even if he won the match. OMG it'd drive him crazy. Then there's the fact that he'd know ... he might lose to 'That Black'.

And of COURSE he'd insist it must be held at one of his Clubs, if he was going to participate. With full pop payment on all 'his costs'.

I saw one wedge swing where he totally lost his balance and I saw one putt where he breaks his wrists and stabs at the ball. I'm 71 and still haven't moved up to the senior tees. I used to be pretty decent but at 70 I've lost a lot but from what I saw of Trump, game on, let's play.

Both he and vlad showed up late to the one event he appeared at.

Putin released a statement that they met and had a good conversation, even though france asked yhat no meetings occur during the rememberance.

Trump is clearly upset because vlad was mean to him. The big meany wouldn't give him a hug, and was critical of tiny. He may have even admitted muhler has the pee tape.

It would fit with a bully cretin's behavior. They don't just ignore a former friend or ally; they humiliate and destroy them. They do it in public, at the point it will have maximum impact.

Tiny knows its coming. Vlad told him so.

53. I suspect when his lawyers sat down to answer his questions, two disturbing things happened...
Mon Nov 19, 2018, 12:44 PM
Nov 2018

First is I suspect Dotard realized Mueller knows a hell of a lot of things that he didn't expect Mueller to ever know or find out. But he also probably realized, or his lawyers did anyway, that they don't know exactly what Mueller knows, or how, or who told him, or what documentary evidence he has. So Dotard knows he needs to lie to save his bacon, but also doesn't know which lies he can tell without making things worse.

Second is I suspect Dotard talked to Junior, Jared, and some others who already testified (even though he shouldn't be doing that) about what they said, and this put him in a bind too. On one hand there are things Dotard wishes they hadn't said which he'd like to contradict, but contradicting them both draws attention to the matter and increases the risk one party or the other gets busted for lying (dumbassed DonJr seems like someone who would err thusly). On the other hand, he can't be sure they are telling HIM the truth about what they said to the grand jury. Maybe they spilled their guts to the grand jury -- at least about other people's misdeeds -- but are telling Dotard reassuring lies about what they did or didn't say (Jared seems the most likely person to behave thusly).

Mon Nov 19, 2018, 01:07 PM
Nov 2018

“On Wednesday, October 22, 2016 at 3pm who did you meet with and what was the meeting about?” that would strike terror in Trump’s ass.

A question like that would definitely indicate Mueller knew everything about that meeting so if Trump lies about it he’s in deep shit. Or it could mean that Mueller only knows there was a meeting but doesn’t know what it was about. The only thing Trump and his lawyers could know for certain is that there was a meeting that day.

That’s scary shit whether you’re guilty or not.

The guy has a VERY limited emotional palette, and he’s never really “in the moment” because he sees the world as an extension of himself: “I won the Senate,” etc.

I think he seeks his own level of discomfort in ANY situation that runs contrary to his delusions. And the blame always, but ALWAYS, lies elsewhere.
