Me too, Bill:

I’d have thought the scriptwriters would have rejected as too obvious the plot twist of the priggish, moralistic, and legalistic prosecutor of President Clinton ending up, two decades later, as defense attorney for the profane, amoral, and contemptuous-of-the-law President Trump.

but the new normal seems to be a variant of the war is peace, slavery is freedom, ignorance is strength thing. Because Trump does his own scripts! And they include Starr as lunatic-wacko-disaster and another stable genius. One thing that's always consistent: hyperbole.

While Trump’s instincts are incoherent and illogical, they are not entirely random. Highly trained Trumpologists are able to spot patterns just as zoologists do when they study primate behavior.

In short, he's an insincere manipulative bastard with no moral compass, only positions of convenience. Such is his politics, such is his life. Using people is his forte. Give him credit - for such a useless pampered asshole, he's good at it.

In reply to Senate begins preparations for Trump impeachment trial

before there were Trump tweets there were Trump TV appearances. From Trump’s defense will be led by a ‘lunatic,’ ‘wacko’ and ‘off his rocker’ Ken Starr, according to Trump himself by Aaron Blake @ WashingtonPost.com, Jan. 17

[....] Trump has apparently pulled a 180 on Kenneth Starr since the late 1990s. Back then Starr was investigating Bill Clinton and writing the “Starr Report,” which was used as the basis for impeachment. Trump at the time derided the impeachment — and Starr right along with it.

Asked by Matt Lauer, “Do you think the president should be impeached?” Trump responded with harsh words not for the impeachment process but for Starr personally.

“I think Ken Starr’s a lunatic,” Trump said. “I really think that Ken Starr is a disaster.”

Trump added in the same interview: ”I really think that Ken Starr was terrible.”

Trump offered similar comments when Geraldo Rivera asked him about Hillary Clinton running for Senate from New York. Trump again brought up Starr on his own, suggesting that he made her life a living hell.

“She’s had a very tough life the last few years,” Trump said. “I mean, what could be tougher than that? I mean, can you imagine those evenings when he’s just being lambasted by this crazy Ken Starr, who is a total wacko? There’s the guy. I mean, he is totally off his rocker.”

As the Clinton impeachment was getting off the ground, Trump also appeared on Chris Matthews’s show and appeared to suggest that Starr had manufactured the case against the president.

“Starr has taken something from nothing and brought it into this big crescendo,” Trump said. “But you know what? It’s got to stop. It’s enough.”

Trump is the first to admit that he is willing to change his opinion of people on a dime, though. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal in 2018, he said he attacks people viciously and then often comes around to them. “You see that a lot with me, and then all of a sudden somebody’s my best friend,” he said. “I could give you 20 examples. You give me 30. I’m a very flexible person.”

Saying things Trump likes on cable TV is a surefire way to gain his good graces, and Starr has certainly done that [....]

Cuz like fuck education & paying teacher's - it's the 1st Amendment right to say, "oh God, make me smarter than my surroungs give me any right to be" that's important, if only I could be so optimistic to think the majority aspires to be any kind of real stable genius, or even doubts their own wisdom.
