We are way beyond Kansas here, Toto.If true, how could people who actually heard this stay in the administration? I would be scared as shit of the boss. I guess some people are so full of bullshit confidence that they think they can manipulate anyone. If it were in the context of brainstorming while everyone is high or drunk, that would be one thing. But this is serious mental dysfunction as in: child who doesn't know better and doesn't know he is sick.

Agatha Christie/Murder on the Orient Express-level collusion - they *all* sunk the knife in, all have a bit of the blood on them. Worse, it's a game of Clue where they went together room by room trying out the different murder instruments - they were shaking down the other leaders too.

That sort of employer

In reply to In the context of this story,

That sort of employer management technique makes sense and corroborates with many instances of the commander in chief having only a passing relationship to our shared plane of existence. But it also points to a hyperbolic limit to who could possibly be calling the shots in this dumb movie.

Someone like Barr, for instance, could have been sent in from interested parties to keep the party going. But how could such a cabal be stupid enough to let Barr actually chase the rabbits as they appear in the managed one's imagination? The different explanations cancel each other like standing waves ready to dissolve a bridge.

My alligators are hungry. Time to encourage a passersby to walk too close to the edge and fall in.

In the context of this story, and others similar, this supposition on Ukraine-Gate makes a lot of sense:

Starting to get the sense that everybody in this administration knew Trump wanted to shake down Zelensky and they all asked to sit in on that call to gauge for themselves how badly this Giuliani-concocted plan was going to go...

THE MOAT WOULD WORK and be faster than The Wall. Dumb, lowlife losers!

Look at a map! Water would flow downhill from California to the Rio Grand river, and on down to the corner of Texas. It is south, downhill on the map! Fast current! Sweep away the bad guys and their kids! The snakes would fall in, and the gators will swim up for dinner!

I put a comment and the most outrageous clip from the NYTimes article last night here at the end of NCD's old blog entry about the clueless unfeeling robot thing. It is the story that trumps all previous articles on Trump mental illness, by far. This is not your typical throwing paper towels in Puerto Rico or posing with an orphan baby prize. This is a story of active fantasization by a "bad seed" child. I note that the reporters were not the usual ones with White House leaks. Starting to think about period ex-Trump admins who might have heard of this...in the process, I wondered whether Trump's sister the judge might have stories about him torturing animals as a child and getting excited about the possibility of playing with matches might burn the house down...No surprise he'd fight back on this one, over the course of dealing with "ratings" as an adult, and not being a total dunce, he must have figured some things are taboo. (On the other hand, he didn't get how the separating the children thing would play to the crowds.)
