1. Mueller will keep filing this stuff away.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Trump has mastered the art of the

Staged Event. After all,we are in Season two of Trump's Reality TV Show Called,Trumps' White House Apprentice does D.C..

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Uh huh.

And Mueller won't give a shit. And that is probably why Drumpf has been getting "buggier and buggier" of late.

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Just more of Donnies

diversions . At the end of the day,he counts the number of times his name is mentioned in the media. Boom!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Yup. 👍

[Wounded Bear]

2. I would argue that both questions remain valid...

especially as both question address the core question of: Is Trump qualified to be President?

I have seen little evidence to convince me that the answer to that quesion is in the affirmative.

3. Wonder if he is working on

an insanity plea??

[leftstreet]

5. Dangerously violent lunatic Russian intelligence asset

That's a mouthful

What on earth was Putin thinking?

6. Why pretend he can't be both?

It could very well be that because of one - his being unstable - lead to the ease of the other - his being a pawn.

Constantly stroke Trump's ego and he thinks you're his friend for life. It's all in how you frame it.

Someone more intelligent than Trump could easily manipulate his ego and get the reaction/action they desire.

That doesn't make him any less a dangerous lunatic.

The very same warped sense of entitlement that demands he believe he deserves to be president - and there is just no way he got help from anyone/ it was all him and his awesomeness - is the very same warped ego that makes him a dangerous person.

7. An appropriate reply to Frum's tweet:

Oops just saw Solly Mac's great post saying the same thing.

8. I suspect his "brilliance" is more analogous to a bull crashing

through a china shop, either because he smells a cow in heat out ahead or he's trying to escape a cattle prod.

He's been throwing bombs to both attract and distract attention as things go bad for decades. Observers say he thrives on the kind of upset and disorder he creates. But he could no more be "brilliant" than he could understand why he keeps stepping in it. All he knows is that keeping moving has worked for him.

9. The "brilliance" of a predatory capitalist. Or a cornered rat.

Desperately trying to convince his base that the bombshell articles coming out are "fake".

I expect something big is on the way.

[IndianaDave]

16. It appears to me that someone is mistaking profound fear for "brilliance!"

[spanone]

11. K&R..

[Anonymous Bosh]

12. Just thinkin

(what if... What if he really is... Really is... A little bit crazy...)

[njhoneybadger]

15. I think it's good that subject has changed

Mueller flies under the radar while collecting evidence

[Cha]

17. He's both.

18. Syllogism: No Morans are brilliant...

Major premise:

No Morans are brilliant.

Minor premise:

Trump is a Moran.

Conclusion:

Trump is not brilliant.



Old-time DUers know what a Moran is (pretty much the same thing as a Moron). But, if you are curious, google "Get a brain morans" and look at the image of the guy with the star-spangled head kerchief.

20. Frum was being sarcastic.

[blitzen]

21. yes, i see that now. I just viscerally react when i hear any talk of trump being smart or clever n/t

[WinkyDink]

19. Frum, Nance, and Reid: My 3 faves for blunt, honest talk.

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. He's two *click* two *click* two fools in one!

And his mommy dresses him funny, too.

[Awsi Dooger]

23. To borrow a term from Wall Street

The second part is already built into the price
