To be fair, President Trump’s four years in office weren’t so bad, except when when he incited an insurrection against the government, mismanaged a pandemic that killed nearly half a million Americans

My suspicion is that the guys without their hands on their hips are FBI plants.  At least I hope so.  The good news is that in athletics, hands on hips shows you are tired of what is happening.

Yep.  Shifting from sports to movies, good acting and blocking should be able tell the story without dialogue.  In this scene, Trump is ranting about something and his sycophants are trying to look as concerned.  You can almost see the heads slowly nodding and the twisted frowns. Notice the three on the right turn away from his gaze. He's asking for something they can't provide.

   I cannot believe that this many well educated people are this stupid. Trump, and at this point the entire GQP, are literally calling plays right out of the Fascism for Dummies book. "Convincing the ruling class they lost something and that someone else is responsible for that" is step one on the road to fascism, and exactly what Make America Great Again is based in. Couple that with stirring up distrust in government and our democracy itself, and you have a perfect dish of fascism stew. What blows my mind is how many people don't see it, or worse yet how many people are knowingly and willingly throwing gasoline on the fire like this woman here. What does she hope to gain out of perpetuating a lie? If fascism fully takes hold here in America women surely aren't going to get a seat at the big table. We are seeing what would happen now. It will be a real-life, watered down version of the Handmaid's Tale. People are really stupid. This lady reminds me of what Malcolm X said about "The House Negro"

Spoiler

So you have two types of Negro. The old type and the new type. Most of you know the old type. When you read about him in history during slavery he was called "Uncle Tom." He was the house Negro. And during slavery you had two Negroes. You had the house Negro and the field Negro.

The house Negro usually lived close to his master. He dressed like his master. He wore his master's second-hand clothes. He ate food that his master left on the table. And he lived in his master's house--probably in the basement or the attic--but he still lived in the master's house.

So whenever that house Negro identified himself, he always identified himself in the same sense that his master identified himself. When his master said, "We have good food," the house Negro would say, "Yes, we have plenty of good food." "We" have plenty of good food. When the master said that "we have a fine home here," the house Negro said, "Yes, we have a fine home here." When the master would be sick, the house Negro identified himself so much with his master he'd say, "What's the matter boss, we sick?" His master's pain was his pain. And it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. When the house started burning down, that type of Negro would fight harder to put the master's house out than the master himself would.

But then you had another Negro out in the field. The house Negro was in the minority. The masses--the field Negroes were the masses. They were in the majority. When the master got sick, they prayed that he'd die. [Laughter] If his house caught on fire, they'd pray for a wind to come along and fan the breeze.

If someone came to the house Negro and said, "Let's go, let's separate," naturally that Uncle Tom would say, "Go where? What could I do without boss? Where would I live? How would I dress? Who would look out for me?" That's the house Negro. But if you went to the field Negro and said, "Let's go, let's separate," he wouldn't even ask you where or how. He'd say, "Yes, let's go." And that one ended right there.

So now you have a twentieth-century-type of house Negro. A twentieth-century Uncle Tom. He's just as much an Uncle Tom today as Uncle Tom was 100 and 200 years ago. Only he's a modern Uncle Tom. That Uncle Tom wore a handkerchief around his head. This Uncle Tom wears a top hat. He's sharp. He dresses just like you do. He speaks the same phraseology, the same language. He tries to speak it better than you do. He speaks with the same accents, same diction. And when you say, "your army," he says, "our army." He hasn't got anybody to defend him, but anytime you say "we" he says "we." "Our president," "our government," "our Senate," "our congressmen," "our this and our that." And he hasn't even got a seat in that "our" even at the end of the line. So this is the twentieth-century Negro. Whenever you say "you," the personal pronoun in the singular or in the plural, he uses it right along with you. When you say you're in trouble, he says, "Yes, we're in trouble."

First they came for Bernie Madoff and I said nothing

Then they came for Jeffrey Epstein and I said nothing

Then they came for Derrick Chauvin and I said nothing

I didnt have to say anything because their cases were adjudicated in the criminal justice system and they were all convicted after being represented by attorneys. Sometimes pieces of shit get convicted of crimes. And thats how it works

I was told DOJ doesn’t make these types of public statements.

Maybe they have realized the good of our nation depends on it. If so, it’s about fucking time.

They tend not to, and there's no evidence that they did this time, either.

I believe on the rare occasion that they do make such an announcement, it's because the rumor mill is running amok with inaccurate information.

It's pretty obvious what's going on here and why.

(CNN)Former President Donald Trump's top general feared he would authorize a strike on Iran as his presidency ended. His intelligence chief wondered what Russia had on him. A billionaire friend convinced him to try buying Greenland. A half-dozen top officials considered resigning en masse.

Even his wife, first lady Melania Trump, was "rattled by the coronavirus and convinced that Trump was screwing up," according to a forthcoming book from New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker and New Yorker staff writer and CNN global affairs analyst Susan Glasser set to publish on Tuesday.

In a phone call with former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who maintained ties to the White House despite occasional criticism of Trump, Melania Trump sought help convincing her husband to take the pandemic more seriously.

"'You're blowing this," she recalled telling her husband," the authors write. "'This is serious. It's going to be really bad, and you need to take it more seriously than you're taking it.' He had just dismissed her. 'You worry too much,' she remembered him saying. 'Forget it.' "

The razor's-edge instability clouding Trump's four-year tenure in the White House led many of his senior-most advisers to worry about the fate of the country. The volatility is laid bare in new detail in "The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021." The reporting for the book included two interviews with the former President at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Baker and Glasser write that many of the well-known fears about Trump's presidency were in fact closer to reality than previously reported, leading to widespread attempts among those who worked for him to head off disaster.

The revelations could also foretell the presidency Trump might oversee should he return to the White House in 2025. Trump's associates have told CNN he could announce a presidential bid after November's midterm elections. But, as Trump told Baker and Glasser, he won't invite former Vice President Mike Pence to join his ticket after Pence refused to interfere in the certification of the 2020 election.

"It would be totally inappropriate," Trump said. "Mike committed political suicide by not taking votes that he knew were wrong."

The book describes deep concerns among Trump's national security team, led by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley and others, that the then-President would ignite a conflict with Iran in the waning days of his presidency or that he could stumble into nuclear war with North Korea.

One administration official told Trump before the 2020 election that if he lost, he should strike Iran's nuclear program, the authors report. "Milley at the time told his staff it was a 'What the f--- are these guys talking about?' moment," they write. "Now, it seemed frighteningly possible."

The tensions with Iran even permeated the walls of Mar-a-Lago. Trump told guests at a cocktail party over the holidays in 2020 that he was leaving early to return to Washington because of fears Iran may be trying to assassinate him to avenge the US killing of the country's top general a year earlier.

Concerns over Trump's behavior on the world stage began nearly as soon as he took office. More than simply a passing grudge, Trump's desire to withdraw the United States from NATO was in fact a sustained effort that was "much more serious than people realized," one senior White House official said -- an outcome that could have dramatically altered the current war in Ukraine.

Following a 2018 meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland -- after which Trump sided with Putin over US intelligence agencies who had determined Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 election -- the top US intelligence official was left wondering what Trump's real motives were.

"I never could come to a conclusion. It raised the question in everybody's mind: What does Putin have on him that causes him to do something that undermines his credibility?" Dan Coats, the then-director of national intelligence, reflected to associates afterward, according to the book.

And a months-long fixation with purchasing Greenland from Denmark went far deeper than previously disclosed, inspired in the early days of Trump's presidency by a wealthy friend from New York, the cosmetics heir Ron Lauder.

"I said, 'Why don't we have that?' You take a look at a map. I'm a real estate developer, I look at a corner, I say, 'I've got to get that store for the building that I'm building,' etc. It's not that different," Trump told the reporters for their book.

'I'm the target of the very far right': Fauci on the impact of disagreeing with Trump 02:32

Lauder proposed to Trump's then-national security adviser John Bolton that he act as a "back channel" to the Danish government. Instead, top National Security Council aides engaged for months in secret talks with Denmark's ambassador to the United States about Greenland.

Eventually, however, public revelations about Trump's plans to buy the island prompted indignation in both Greenland and Denmark, scuttling any effort to enhance the US role in an increasingly strategic area. Trump called the Danish leader "nasty" for rejecting his idea and canceled a trip to Copenhagen.

Trump enjoyed friendlier relations with other world leaders, but often imposed his own brand of chaos.

Baker and Glasser report Trump once abruptly phoned Jordan's King Abdullah II to inform him he was "going to give you the West Bank," prompting the monarch to tell a friend he thought he was having a heart attack.

"I couldn't breathe. I was bent doubled over," he said.

And while Trump liked to frequently tout that then-Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe -- who was assassinated in July -- had nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize, Trump had actually explicitly made the request to Abe during dinner in New York.

"The President asked Abe over dinner to nominate him," a senior Trump national security official says in the book.

Baker and Glasser describe previously unreported plans by members of Trump's Cabinet to collectively resign amid the chaos, only to remain in their posts out of concern for whohe might select to replace them.

In encrypted text messages, then-Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen told a top aide that five senior officials in the Trump administration -- including the secretaries of Defense, Education and Interior -- were on the verge of quitting amid a particularly chaotic period ahead of the 2018 midterms.

"Ok for the first time I am actually scared for the country. The insanity has been loosed," she wrote in the messages.

Trump's demands on his team included outlandish requests like abolishing the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals after it blocked one of his immigration policies.

"Let's just cancel it," he told Nielsen, according to the book. He told Nielsen if such a move required legislation, "then draft a bill to 'get rid of the f--king judges' and have it sent to Congress as soon as possible."

When it came to responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, it was his most trusted advisers who were encouraging him to do more, particularly in the early days when Trump appeared nonchalant about the severity of the crisis.

you know, it's an overused cliche.  And I'd be happy at 6'1"/210# to make it to 76 years of age and see grandkids.  But the man literally, and I mean that in the literal sense of the word literally...looks like 20 pounds of shit in a 10 pound bag.

The one with a daughter aged 8 to 16.  You always squeeze that guy that hardest.  He has the most to lose.  The three men I watched crack and pleaded off to prison and the one that took his own life and the other one that tried that ended up under observation...they all had one thing in common...a daughter who would look in their eyes and understand what they did without saying a word.  Little ones, older ones, even sons of any age...nobody breaks down like a man with a daughter who is old enough to understand what's happening but not old enough to make her own way in the world without daddy yet. 

When you see that look in a dad's eye...when he's long ago abandoned giving a fuck about his wife/ex-wife's feelings about him, or what society thinks, or his boss, or coworkers, or sons, or little babies, or the law, or older kids who are on their own, or grandkids he'll never see grow up...when it's that middle school aged daughter that is starting to see what's what.  And she hears/reads about daddy has done, and he crumbles under that shame.  And pleads with you and his counsel to make the hurt stop.  And then you really go work on him, it's the best fucking high in the world.  There's no drug like it.  Or at least nobody has invented it yet. 

Somebody in his inner circle is gonna experience this real soon.  And then another high awaits.  The one I described can only be topped by watching Donald Trump watch one of his children marched off to prison.  it'd be like sniffing a line of lost horizon off of nikki benz's ass
