Retired clinical psychologist, no longer so circumspect about opinions. For democracy, rule of law & accountability. Against lawless psychopathy & predation without consequence. Decency matters. 🍁
Stephen Miller: "...violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person... They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." Miller, Vance & MAGA Christians unite in saying: "God damn the professors!"
Trump accuses Canada of "willful negligence" for wildfires. Threatens tariffs. MAGA pile on. (Even usually simpering sycophant Hoekstra isn't having it.) Billionaires'/Big Oil's $$$ polluted Trump/MAGA brains. Earth bears the cost-so we do, too. (quote-Harper's Index) newrepublic.com/post/213216/...
Jim Himes gives an exceptionally positive recommendation for Jay Clayton as DNI: 2/3
"For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law." - Peruvian General Óscar R. Benavides Authoritarian President & election fraudster Blanche: "I love you, Sir!" "For my beloved, everything; for his enemies, the law." And the Republican Senate will eagerly confirm him as AG.
As ICE/CBP/DHS/GOP murders in yet another vehicle stop... Remember the proper name for every such stop & murder. Kavanaugh Stops yield Republican Murders, over and over. It will never stop as long as MAGA GOP rules.
Late to today’s game. But AI helpfully supplies a summary: England up by 14 at half. 🙄
Perhaps AI is already better at Big Ideas & predatory capitalism than a Conehead who believes that self-reflection and introspection are mere design flaws that just keep you stuck, obstructing your relentless drive toward fully becoming your Inner Jackass.
Any moral high ground either Israel or the United States may have once claimed has been squandered by psychopaths. Still-decent citizens of the world rightly see both as toxic & criminal. @mwuerker.bsky.social : 2014 You know, halcyon days of Bibi's psychopathy. And before voters unleashed Trump.
The backstory to this haunting picture from Trump’s inauguration:
"There is no great American republic without FAITH." FAITH that Trump will soon be dead ...that MAGA will forever be seen as malign as KKK ...that a still-decent majority of voters will demand better ...that GOP will have its nose rubbed in MAGA forever ...that not all Christians = MAGA "Christians"
In contrast to Trump's Tribute to Trump in DC, I appreciate that the "flag" over NYC is upside down, reflecting a USA in trouble.
Were it not for the lies about election fraud, WH spokespeople like Anna Kelly would have delivered the biggest lie of all:
Alito once opposed brown people being admitted to Princeton. He would have claimed his stance was race-neutral. Now he claims the SCOTUS MAGA gang's decisions are, too. Racist rants of Tom Emmer, Megyn Kelly & Stephen Miller, too. All are as "race-neutral" as depicted in Robert Ariail's cartoon:
Those of us who grew up on a steady diet of old TV westerns can tell at a glance who the bad guys are by their hat. But *any* decent person can tell as soon as they open their mouths.
Update: “Honey, did you post facts a newspaper reported that the regime doesn’t like reported?” CBP/ICE/DHS/GOP: “But don’t call us fascists!”
Just as he has never sued people like @noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social whose receipts would make for glorious legal discovery, he is never going to sue anyone who makes specific allegations about his history of predation. Just deflection, delay, distraction and lies. Cartoon: @dennisgoris.bsky.social
If Nancy Mace was capable of any decency, she would do her best Emily Litella impression with a meek "Oh. TransGENIC mice. Oh. Never mind." Epilogue: She has no decency. Just performative dumbassery.
Trump continues his unwitting commemoration of Pride Month with nearly daily brain-decay emissions. Further elaborations on Arnold Palmer’s phallus are pending.
Iran's birthday greetings to a swaggering, blustering, predatory, but ultimately ignorant and impotent President. Cartoon by Gary Markstein.
The WH wanted the Mar-a-Lago faux situation room to mimic the Obama/bin Laden picture. But the Haberman/Swan NYT excerpt, as illustrated by Mike Luckovich, is the essence of Trump’s WH.
