So now we have the real skinny on what "FAKE NEWS" means to Trump

It's all about "the tone." If he thinks the "tone" is against him - it's "fake news"

I'll link to transcript here as soon as it becomes available.

This is a shocking and sad display of madness, of his yearning for fascism, of his ignorance of basic facts, of his inability to view any single issue outside of the lens of his own narcissism, of his utter and complete corruption and inadequacy to his task.

WE ARE SO FUCKED.

Dems will retake the house in 18 (and if they govern properly) can hold in 2020. Then we can unfuck this gerrymandered country, and really get some needed work done.

Not that I want this loon in power for that long, but if the House GOP has to choose between actually fighting for winning elections and their president, I can practically guarantee you that Trump will die in prison.

They'll be rid of him in a second if it looks like he will cost them the district lines they scammed so hard for in 2010.

That boggles my mind... not because I didn't think that they were the real thing, but that he doesn't realize he's just admitted that everything we've been hearing and reading is true. Essentially he confessed.
