TLDR summary: Deandre Harris has been arrested and charged, but the warrant wasnāt issued by the Charlottesville cops. One of the Nazis got a local pro-fascist judge to issue a warrant for him.
There arenāt enough Alan Rickman Flipping A Table gifs in the observable universe.
That is jaw-dropping.
Headline of the week.
For what itās worth:
Being ācentristā while having a Pepe avatar is somewhat silly
Being ācentristā while having a Jame Damore avatar is absurd.
I think there is a realistic chance of 25th Amendment, but only if his actions become imminently dangerous.
I donāt mind psychiatrists commenting on how volatile and dangerous Trump appears to be as long they donāt diagnose him with a mental illness and give out information about what mental illness really means.
Mental illness itself does not involve an incapacity to carry out a duty. Itās really the specific symptoms, the severity of the symptoms, and the particular combination ofā¦ impulsivity, recklessness, an inability to accept facts, rage reactions, an attraction to violence, a proneness to incite violence ā all these things are signs of danger.
I think thatās a pretty reasonable response in the interview. They arenāt saying āTrump has a mental illness and is therefore unfitā they are saying, āTrump is impulsive, prone to rage and drawn to violence and is therefore unfit.ā Their professional experience gives that assessment some additional weight.
I am a very mentally ill person and I get very annoyed at people for acting like mental illness is some proxy for violence or incompetence. But I do think psychiatrists are probably more qualified than average people to distinguish behaviour that is troubling from behaviour that is not troubling. I mean, from everything I can read about it, they were totally right about Goldwater.
Fucking moron indeed.
Personally, I would have titled it āhow the corporate media is conspiring to import American fascism into Australiaā.
Has there been any presidential comment on this yet, or is soccer mostly a liberal thing and Ian St John was right when he said that ā„rump didnāt have a clue about it?

"Even before Corkerās remarks, some West Wing advisers were worried that Trumpās behavior could cause the Cabinet to take extraordinary Constitutional measures to remove him from office. Several months ago, according to two sources with knowledge of the conversation, former chief strategist Steve Bannon told Trump that the risk to his presidency wasnāt impeachment, but the 25th Amendmentāthe provision by which a majority of the Cabinet can vote to remove the president. When Bannon mentioned the 25th Amendment, Trump said, āWhatās that?ā According to a source, Bannon has told people he thinks Trump has only a 30 percent chance of making it the full term.
Whatās that? The sound of insanity.
Oh, and obviously he STILL hasnāt read the US Constitution.
Forget spurring Mueller to wrap up the investigation, the WH cabinet needs to invoke the 25th right the hell fucking now.
Smells like Eau de Fascist. Oh wait, heās ājust asking questionsā.
Did Trudeau keep a straight face?
Milo just needs to get a clue; he has no talent aside from being an insufferable provocateur and his 15 minutes are up.
