“Trump Is Nuts. This Time Really Feels Different”: Trump Rejects “War Council” Intervention, Goes It Alone..new VF article by Gabe Sherman...I bet you $5 Lawrence has him on tonite !!

With his closest allies defecting, the president increasingly trusts only his instincts. He “got joy” from stripping former C.I.A. director John Brennan’s security clearance. And after betrayals by Allen Weisselberg and David Pecker, a former White House official says, Trump “spent the weekend calling people and screaming.”

5. ty for cleaning the link.

I was getting ready to take it to tinyurl.

As for Trump, he still has not figured out that screaming at people in the WH does not have the same effect as it does when he bullies the hired help in his business. All the behaviors he has practiced for 60 plus years don't work anymore.

6. Generally, look for the question mark and cut it & the rest out. . . . nt

2. You know who else went only by gut instinct because he thought

it was superior to experience, knowledge and facts? Mussolini. I just finished reading Madeleine Albright's Fascism and there are a lot of similarities.

4. Wonder if there are any Esso's left?

11. Mussolini's body was hung outside a gas station.

The following day the Italian king, Victor Emmanuel III, dismissed Mussolini, remarking, “At this moment you are the most hated man in Italy.” Mussolini was immediately arrested and imprisoned. The Italian population rejoiced.


But by April 1945, with the Allies advancing north through Italy, Mussolini knew the end was in sight. Together with his mistress, Clara Petacci, and a few followers, Mussolini fled and headed for the Swiss border. Stopped by Italian partisans on April 26, Mussolini’s attempts to disguise himself with a Luftwaffe overcoat and helmet had failed.

On April 28, 1945, at the picturesque Lake Como, the partisans stopped the car; pushed Mussolini and Petacci out, and ordered them against a wall. Whilst the partisans pronounced the death sentence, Petacci flung her arms around Mussolini and screamed, “No, he mustn’t die.” Petacci was shot and fell. Mussolini ripped open his jacket and screamed, ‘Shoot me in the chest!’ The executioner, a communist partisan by the name of Walter Audisio, did so. Mussolini fell but was not dead. Another bullet in the chest ensured that he was. The bodies were heaped into the back of a van, together with those of Mussolini’s last followers, and transported to Milan.

In the city their bodies were delivered to the Piazzale Loreto, the scene of a mass execution of partisans the year before. The corpses were beaten and urinated upon and finally left to hang upside down, for public display, from a rusty beam outside a petrol station.

12. Thanks. Esso was very cryptic. Was it an Esso in Italy? Otherwise, what is the significance of Esso?

13. Probably because it's a common gas station. Newsreels from that time don't even show the name of the

gas station from what I've seen.

10. Lol. I wish it were that easy.

3. This, folks, is why GOP Senate confirmation of Trump's corrupt Cabinet nominees was such a betrayal

of their oaths of office. The collection of morons, criminals, and co-conspirators Trump stacked his Cabinet with will never invoke the 25 Amendment. He is safe from that method of removal, entirely because the GOP Senate did not perform their duty to the Constitution when they had the chance.

9. I wonder how many people have actually hung up on the asshole in the shitehouse

versus hurried him off the phone?

14. He'll be on suicide watch here soon, if he isn't already.

I keep checking for news leaks on that subject. I'm confident he's a candidate. His personality is weak and self absorbed. Keep him away from being alone with a loaded gun.

I'm okay with tЯump right where he is, at least until the end of October. He's doing great for making our point why never to vote for treasonous яepublicans. What more damage can he do as an ineffective compromised "leader" that he hasn't already done?
