Last night I kept waiting for one of the pundits to say, "Trump didn't get up at 6:30 Saturday morning & start tweeting. He was still up from Friday night!" But no. No one would say it. After the 'sniffles' comments at the debate, I think Ivanka took his coke away. Now he's allowed a once a week bender on Friday night.

Our president, the coke head. It could be worse. He could be a meth head.

and you'll be on the money. This tweet tells us exactly what you indicate. His staff is in tatters.

For how long will it take for most people to catch onto his pervasive lying? We like to say, in the abstract, that he's a pathological liar, but are reluctant to directly attribute his lying to what he says in practice. Most of us continue to assume that he's lying only when he gets caught at it. But the fact of the matter is that he starts out every communication with a lie. The better strategy is to prove Trumpy's normal lies to be "false", and therefore to be a true statement, instead of treating him as a normal person who lies occasionally.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Twist words, doublespeak, say the opposite of whatever is going on.

What's so sad is people seem willing to be spoonfed this shit.

For TV, drama is necessary. Any lack of drama means something is wrong and ratings will drop. IRL, drama just tends to lead to more drama and more chaos. Ratings and exposure/coverage mean everything to Trump.

...doing immense damage to our international reputation.

...improving our ability to blow the world up several dozen times.

...making sure even more poor people don't have health insurance, because it's "God's Plan."

...slashing the budgets of any number of federal agencies which exist to improve the lives of Americans.

...splitting up the families of immigrants, in the name of "national security."

Yep. Major things.

We need a new Deep Throat, somebody who knows all the shit and is willing to talk.
We still have good journalists who don't burn their sources.

Find a good journalist, and start talking - no attribution.
