i feel like trumpcoin, and the fact that we never talk about it, is pretty emblematic of the way the press refuses to grapple with trump. it exists in order to pay him bribes. it expressly gives you political access. it does not pretend to have a licit motive. it was a one-day scandal.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

Americans voted against the most successful economic recovery of any nation on the planet for this, because they were mad at their servants being paid more and listened to liars who made them feel good.

A lot of very frustrating American political behavior is explained by reasoning something like this: A pathologically mentally unbalanced moron surely could not receive a major party presidential nomination, let alone win, twice. Therefore if he seems like one, it must all be a clever act.

I think maybe one thing going on here is “the president is 50% driven by pure narcissism filtered through one of his two permanent obesssions and 50% by whatever he saw on Fox News this morning” doesn’t give you a lot of column fodder

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

This isn’t the usual Chotiner interview where he runs rings around some idiot — it’s something that is, to me, significantly more troubling: a conversation with a clearly intelligent man who has totally released himself over to the Devil, and will not see it

Cory Booker is on the Senate floor doing the Andy Serkis One Way Out monologue word for word. A little worried about what happens when he gets to the “run, climb, KILL” part tbh
