We’ll be there with spades so we can dig a hole so deep that we can hand him over to Satan in person

Are they seriously suggesting following the tactics of a proscribed terrorist group in public?

If so then they can go right ahead, it makes discrediting them an easier job.

Trump, on Huckabee’s show, with his latest claim, which isn’t at all batshit crazy:
“One of the greatest of all terms I’ve come up with, is ‘fake,’" Trump told Mike Huckabee in an interview for the two-time Republican presidential candidate’s new show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. "I guess other people have used it perhaps over the years but I’ve never noticed it. And it’s a shame. And they really hurt the country.”

Matt Taibbi isn’t pulling any punches:

I would’ve put it a bit more diplomatically, myself. But a diversity of approaches is good.

Speaking of being past the “give him a chance” stage, 27 psychiatrists and mental health professionals have decided Trump is so dangerous that they feel compelled to ignore the Goldwater Rule and write publicly about the mental health issues of our Pres*ident.

I’m a bit pissed about that, to be honest.

  1. There are good reasons why remote or public diagnosis is verboten.

  2. Personality disorders are not the same thing as mental illness, and the constant blurring of that line is destructive.

  3. There is no realistic chance of a 25th Amendment solution, anyway.

  4. Given their disgraceful complicity with torture during the Bush years, the establishment US psych community has no moral authority to call upon.

  5. Particularly in a climate of rising fascism, particularly in a country where mental illness is once again being baselessly scapegoated for mass-murder, encouraging the further stigmatisation of mental illness is a fucking dangerous thing to do.

NBC 29 is a GOP mouthpiece, deleting those tweets and retweeting stuff like this:

Ed Gillespie has been running on “get rid of the (nonexistent) sanctuary cities in VA” among other race bating things. Now he has done a strong of speeches reaching out to other races and groups. Although I went on ol Ed’s twitter feed and found this that made me laugh:


It’s not completely good news. Some of things they’re unhappy about are things that Trump promised to do, like the wall, and hasn’t.
