I see I am not alone in my wondering, makes me feel a little less guilty about being interested in this:

Part of a president’s job is to be a unifying figure in times of national crisis. This president could be past the point where he can take on that role.

here's why I am certain he's going to try something: even he knows that the stream of tweets on "here's another example of how America is great again because of me" just isn't going to play well with scores of people being shot at heartland Walmarts and the local pubs every day.

What to do, what to do, stay tuned, 10 am tomorrow. Another chapter in the saga of projection (mental illness?!) or something else? Are we just going to get teleprompter read talking points or the real deal Donald with a new con or an old one? Enquiring minds want to know....

Trump tells reporters in New Jersey: “Hate has no place in our country. And we’re going to take care of it.”

No mention of what he’ll do, or of motives or white nationalism, but he says “this is also a mental illness problem.”

Says he’ll make a statement tomorrow around 10:00.

P.S. Just came to me: he's thinking of a way to blame it on the Dems. Maybe Fox News channel will come up with something he likes tonight.

Of course he promises to

Of course he promises to break his arm then he breaks his shoulder. Reminds me of the bishop who was out golfing with an altar boy as caddy. Putting on the first hole he missed by just an inch. "Fuckin' god damn it, I missed again." The altar boy was all upset, "Father please, your language. Bishop apologizes. But the very next hole the putt just misses the hole again. "Fuckin' damn it, I missed again." "Father your language, You promised" Bishop is all apologetic and says, "If I use such language again may god strike me dead." Of course the next hole the ball rings the cup and rolls away. "Fuckin' damn it I missed again." Suddenly the sky darkens and out of a black cloud a bolt of lightning kills the altar boy dead on the spot. Out of the cloud a voice exclaims, "Fuckin' damn it. I missed again."

Break thou the arm of the

Sour grapes BS - of course Trump is a sinister genius - he's wrapped this country and the world around himself the last 4 years like nobody since Hitler, even though their body count is thankfully very different.

But we've seen this crap meme before - Reagan's not that smart, Bush is just a chimp. They destroy our worlds but we can still feel a bit smug. Maybe that's how they do it - they encourage us to focus on the 3rd grade stuff while they walk away with the important things.

I was wrong, people in the trial can leave Sweden, have to be back in two weeks for the verdict - presumably light.

US pressuring court officials - that's a pretty shitty development. American exceptionalim at its best - U$ Prez A$AP, gangster hip hop in the (White) House

Except he's not his way home - he has to wait in Sweden 2 weeks for some verdict, not cleared.

Maybe Ecuadoran embassy's free.

Socially, the whole racism accusation is just feeding the troll. This troll does have expertise in how to troll. Politically it might be a different game, depending on how well opponents play it. But socially, it's a real loser to feed him.
