Matt Tiabbi in Rolling Stone Oct 5th edition on "The Madness of Donald Trump".

Well worth the read-a real epic rant.

Last paragraph: This is the paradox of Trump. He is damaged, unwell and delusional, but at critical moments he's able to approximate a functioning human being just long enough to survive. He is the worst-case scenario: embarrassing, mentally disorganized, and completely inappropriate, but perhaps not all the way insane. Maybe crimes will soon be discovered and he'll be impeached, or maybe he'll run naked down Pennsylvania Avenue this fall, or nuke someone, and be declared unfit. Until then, he's just the president we deserve, dragging our name down where it belongs. He is miserable, so are we, and we're stuck with each other. Karma really is a bitch.



Another outtake: Part of what got Trump elected is the camaraderie he shared with Americans who chose to live in castles of self-aggrandizement, denial and blame-shifting.

an ugly picture of her.

When she didnt deserve it.

This is why we are close to extinction, the endless piling on of people against Hillary using bullshit information.

band wagon rather than tell the boring old truth, rather than doing their jobs. Lots and lots, like most of them.
