This is my theory. Rich kids like Donny go to private schools and I have discovered that many private schools are not necessarily better than public, merely cater to do what ever keeps the rich kids happy. Yes many of those rich kids are clever and turn out to be true leaders and successful on merit despite not needing to work a day in their life and then there are the other rich kids. Donald's own parents sent him to a military high school - I don't know what the academic standards were but they sent him there for discipline and that failed miserably because he hated it there. He got worse. For that to fail suggests the blame is still on the parents. The fact the school did not kick him out meant they were willing to keep the huge tuition coming in and the fact his parents did not pull him out means they were fine to let someone else deal with their horrible son and avoid any shame in their social circle, having a son kicked out of military school.

Expand full comment

Well Donny was clearly proficient when it comes to evading the law though that he likely learned that from the Fred Trump School of Business, except his father was smart enough to hide his slickness for the most part. Except the trouble Fred Trump got into by refusing to rent to black tenants. Fred's family was German eh? In fact, Fred's father got kicked out of Germany. I didn't think countries ever did that to rich folks. This is how the Trump line got imported to the USA.

His grandfather was the one who got kicked out of Germany – for dodging military service. Seems to run in the family.

He also seems to equate visas that allow you to enter a country with Visa credit cards since he keeps saying that immigrants are getting money to move here.

He apparently has a feral cunning that has allowed him to bully and grift his way into the republican party, but intelligence and knowledge, not so much.

Expand full comment

given that the Republican party has been planning their takeover of the country since the Reagan years when the "moral Majority" morphed into the radical Christian right, I think they were just waiting for someone like Trump to come along that could serve as their useful idiot to facilitate the final grab. We all have to work really hard to make sure that never happens.

He may have been useful to someone once (who???), but he is a useless idiot now. He is not a person who will look back on his public displays of idiocy and feel embarrassed, either.

Certainly useful to his buddy Vlad. Oh Vlad wouldn't consider him a buddy since I am sure Donny had no choice. When you can't fill up your new Trump Tower and the Russian Mafia saves the project by buying several condos at 6 milllon a piece they owned him then. Money laundering - check

Surely the Democrats have known the Republicans or at least a group of them have been jonesing for a fascist take over - it was never really a secret less so since Trump got elected once, but have the Democrats ignored the peril over the decades??? Can't ignore it now, I hope.

No, he’s a sociopath. We know this because the key element of all people with sociopathy or psychopathy is they always seek pity. Don’t underestimate him. He is a pathological liar by nature.

He can't be re-programmed. He was spoiled from birth. Way too late. Birth order and its effect on families. Donny was No. 4 and his older brothers got all the attention.

It seems much more important that people like him! He’s as dumb as a stone or maybe he is just stoned!!

No one should care that much if people like you, I know a lot of people don’t like me just because I say exactly what they wish they could say but don’t have the nerve to say! There’s not a single cell in my entire body that gives a shit if you like me or don’t like me!!!

Oh thanks for reminding me of the foulness that was Roy Cohn that was one of his influences.

Actually raking debris and trimming the forests was always a European thing, my father always says his home country in Europe did it.

A beautiful ski town Banff Alberta was almost totally destroyed by fire this summer - experts said it might have be avoided or at least the damage minimized if the forests were better maintained. Warmer than average summer and less rain didn't help in Banff either.

A few nights back I ran across an old article published in the New Yorker in early 2017 about how Trump is dangerous for US foreign policy because he's stupid and totally ignorant of history.

What he said, verbatim:

"I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, but it sounds interesting to me.

Trump should've been shamed out of Office after swearing to defend, protect, and blah blah obey the Constitution but spit on it, instead. He should've been removed from Office as soon as the insurrection began. it was all confirmed by handmaiden Mitch McConnell, who, when faced with the loss of his job and paycheck, recanted. And, come to think of it, no way should Dems. have surrendered to the outrageous Dem. SCOTUS pick and allow the poisoning of the Supreme Court by inserting 3 unfit, right-wing biased judges onto the court, forever tainting it. And now, because of the rotten court,, bribery is legal, r@pist get free to do it again, and 11 year old victims must flee the red states to get relief. Why do men call the shots & women allow it?

Lois, I find it interesting that our current Supreme Court cons gave Trump the immunity powers when most of his crimes were not committed while in office (OK, the crimes we know about) and those that were, like inciting insurrection were not official duties of any president. What game is Roberts and his unamerican 5 playing? Then, what game is AG Garland playing that he waited so long to even bring charges and then, no charges have been brought against the other handmaids of insurrection like the senators and representatives who spoke at the insurrection rally (the biggest crowd ever) and voted not to certify the results of a free and fair election? Going on 4 years later and so much has not been addressed! It really is weird, and totally unacceptable.

Expand full comment

Ruth you are exactly right. I have been wondering about the same things. Even with the immunity granted I wouldn’t have thought that the insurrection qualified as “official duties” - really how absurd would that be?

Expand full comment

Bonnie, I heard that when Trump got the word in 2016, he was in shock. You are right that he wanted a platform for whining and complaining rather than a desk in the Oval Office. Now he has had the privileges of the presidency and wants it back. He had to do nothing and could even hold rallies while in office. Trump was not changed by his time in office unless it is that we can notice the signs of his dementia more clearly now. Trump has not really worked a day in his life beyond signing things, approving the cheating of contractors, and verbal bullying. Even his time on reality TV involved a very minimum of effort. When we have so many challenges going, why would anyone want a know-nothing, do-nothing as president? He will, though release his band of brown shirts to do their worst to our nation, though and claim the credit for the destruction. Our courts need to stop pretending Trump deserves all the breaks he has been given by them and start treating him as they would any other citizen, say a man of color. Then, maybe the media will start being honest about Trump's inadequacies and danger to this nation.

Expand full comment

I happened to take note of the fact he is no way put in the time that any other President at the White House would.. I seem to recall a normal day was a few hours in the morning at the White House then afternoons doing interviews and blithering on Fox News or visiting other right wing outlets - since it was televised daily it was quite obvious. I believe many of those staffers even if they were proTrump to start were annoyed and exhausted too.

His daddy had to pay another student to take his exams so he could get a passing grade. The felon is totally illiterate. He confuses asylum seekers (the subhumans, as he calls them) with the word ASYLUM the place where he belongs. Can’t tell the different meaning of the two words. He needs to be held in a stretched jacket and sent to an ASYLUM asap.

I really think there’s something suspicious about people who dislike animals and who aren’t able to laugh at themselves.

Or even laugh at all.

I bet he laughs “down”. Guy slips on a banana peel: funny. Breaks his back: funnier. Loses his house because of medical bills — now he’s Rolling. Sues and LOSES, he’s laughing so hard his stomach hurts. Send down more hamberders.

Have you ever heard PUTIN'S "HO" LAUGH or even seen him genuinily smile?

My thought exactly.

Or smile sincerely

well he has no sense of humor. the only time he laughs is at someone else's expense. Like making fun of the disabled reporter. He really is the worst of what human beings can become.

more like smirking. that’s mainly what he does. he doesn’t really laugh per se.

Yeah, like he's really proud of what he just said or did.

A sense of humor requires stepping outside yourself; a trait he doesn't have.

the only time i've ever seen him laugh is when he hosted Lavrov and the Russian delegation in the White House; he was all smiles that day.

I’m not a US citizen but felt sick and numb over DT’s election.

I felt especially sick after James Comey did his manipulation - gaslighting over Hilary’s completely regular innocent emails fearing it would influence many voters for the worst. Hilary said it did. That was a terrible act of election interference and he has never paid for it. Unless DT’s malfunctions wrecked some of his stock options!

Yes, and just knowing how much our pro-fascist corporate-owned media magnified Comey's actions!

Yes, Kamala Harris is getting under Donald’s very thin skin. I love it. She is coming off strong and likable. Yes, I said likable. I want her to refute these crazy claims that she is “soft on crime” by saying “ We will fight to keep criminals out of the White House!”

It has to be a ginormous landslide. Whatever we’re doing to make that happen, we all need to do more.

We need to dominate the House and Senate.

And we need to be ready somehow to stop SCOTUS from overturning the election, not just the presidential, but also our sweeps of Congress.

I hope they're not just monitoring him, but also trapping him so he can be caught, red-handed, in the act and can't deny it. His mental deterioration is so blatant at this point that he will be more likely to make mistakes and not cover his tracks as well as he did the first time. Lock. Him. Up.

No, he won’t. Should, but won’t. Oh, he’ll blow that gasket all right, and throw plenty of ketchup, but then he’ll pick himself up just enough to challenge the election results. The contested election will go before SCOTUS, and the shameless six will declare him the winner. They WILL declare him the winner. There’s no way they won’t. It’s not just him; it’s all those Project 2025 people who will overturn the election, no matter what it takes. Why are we not preparing for this?

The Washington Post reported that Trump once again criticized soldiers who get shot. Harris had the perfect reply. Rather than criticize his comment directly, which would be to take it seriously, she made it personal, saying that he “knows nothing about service to anyone or anything but himself.” That should get under his skin.

Her responses to him are always perfect. Even better is that she does respond, every. time.

It is such a pleasant surprise to see and hear how competitive Kamala Harris is. I love that she responds to Donald's crazy comments.

I said above that Harris made it personal against Trump. More specifically, by saying that he “knows nothing about service to anyone or anything but himself,” she was pointing out his narcissistic disorder. That's the way to deal with mentally ill people. Maybe suggest that they get help.

Caution ⚠️ I don’t trust the convicted felon and traitor. I’m happy to see him doing so badly, but beware of the wolf. Don’t count the votes yet. I’ve said it before, a loudmouth only becomes quieter when planning revenge. The twice impeached, convicted felon, traitor will do anything to regain power. I believe after January 6th you must believe he is capable of anything to gain control of the White House. He is already planting the seeds.

The one positive that I think people forget is that this time Biden’s in office. He WILL call in the National Guard lickety-split. He WILL throw bad actors in jail. And he WON’T just turn over the keys to Trump. THEY’re preparing for every contingency.

That's what I've been saying. Nothing short of life in Rikers will stop him. Sneaking off to Venezuela and actually letting it be known is also worrisome. We can't have him expedited because Venezuela doesn't permit that. He even invited Musk to go with him. I no longer can think of musk as a pleasant manly odor after a workout. Those dirty bastards ruin everything.

I’d be THRILLED for him just to flee to Venezuela and never return. I just want him GONE.

Laura, I, too, would like to see him gone. But if he goes to Venezuela, he would once again be avoiding/evading accountability. That idea upsets me greatly. He needs to be held accountable, and IMO he shouldn't be allowed to just go to Venezuela. (I do wonder, though, how he'd fare in Venezuela, since he doesn't speak Spanish and wouldn't be able to learn it…)

I’d say as long as his $$ lasts. He’ll have no political capital to spend, and only the trained-from-birth lackeys *may* follow him into exile. None of his kids will.

Yes of course you're right. we can't celebrate yet. We can celebrate their wonderful campaign and the positivity they are bringing us but it's too soon to count those deplorables out. They will literally do anything to win, and what they will do if they win is another reich.

correct; they won't give up without some very ugly shenanigans (they're still doing it over 2020). But Dems will have an army of lawyers at the ready, and Joe has the power to squash any attempt at another Jan6.

Still, I expect a lot of election denial.

And I love and respect how the Harris-Walz campaign is ignoring the irresponsible cowering press' continued whining about "She won't talk to us" VP Harris doesn't owe the press a damn thing.

Mary, I give you so much credit for the Harris campaign knowing how to get under that individual's skin. He definitely telegraphs his vulnerabilities but your insight has validated (non-cultist) public perception of him. Your acknowledgement that he really is as crazy as he seems has empowered the rational public and Harris campaign to fight this battle with weapons that, while unconventional, are the only ones that can actually stop him. Thank you. Keep up your good work.
