"SNIP......

“President Trump’s aides and confidants are growing more and more concerned about his mental state following days of erratic behavior, wild outbursts, and bizarre fixations,” Business Insider reports.

Said one former White House official: “No one knows what to expect from him anymore. His mood changes from one minute to the next based on some headline or tweet, and the next thing you know his entire schedule gets tossed out the window because he’s losing his shit.”

“They believe that his frustration is compounded by stress about the 2020 election and the economy’s recent downturn.”

1. "Snip" means there's more to the article that you are cutting out, but when I followed

the link I found there was no more to the article at all.

4. I link to the political wire site because i like the salience of the topcs

they choose and i want to support them. Within each article at the Political Wire site there is a link to the source article in the highlighted name of the source. I sometimes highlight too when i copy. Sometimes i forget.

2. Any stress over his rancid ass landing in prison?

Sure hope so.

[Ilsa]

3. Then the aides owe it to the nation to report him to

His cabinet, or doctor, or someone in the admin who can push him into getting evaluated.

5. Corker responded by again likening the White House staff to a "daycare center."

6. Really? But I hear he's a stable genius, like a smart person with a really good brain and

an IQ that's one of the best.

7. Worried ..yet.they are still there covering for him..

9. I'm sure Hitler's aides saw him losing his shit when he was tweaking too

but they also had an agenda they found more important than their fellow countrymen, or even the stability of the known world.


Same thing.

10. IM-PEACH-MENT!

Fuck the senate! Action needs to be taken now.

12. You can't impeach a president for being a nut case

Any more than you can ban the party that nominated him.

13. There is plenty more to impeach him on.

Emoluments, corruption, treason, sexual offenses, incompetency, etc...

If they can impeach Clinton on an alleged consensual BJ, then I think we have plenty to go on.

Probably a dozen other things I haven't mentioned. Being a nut case would fall under the scope of the 25th Amendment. The man is absolutely unfit for office.

14. He'd work through the months of the impeachment and

trial and then continue afterwards, maybe receive word of his exoneration of all charges on one of his golf courses, but make a big national announcement from the oval office about how the Democrats' plot to overthrow the government failed. Then he'd go on a congratulatory campaign round of rallies to packed, cheering arenas, which we know he loves above everything.

How about fuck hot air and pointless yammering of angry frustration?

IF Trump doesn't decompensate too far, and it still seems fairly likely he won't, his self preservation instincts will kick in more strongly. He has to get reelected for whatever reasons he imagines in his disordered mind, but one of them is to keep from facing serious criminal charges as a private citizen.

My best guess is that this will cause him to agree to eventually bring in a new chief of staff, another Kelly, to restore some order, and that he'll do what he's told he has to at least some of the time.

If he can't pull himself together to function better, McConnell & company's self protective instincts, always fully engaged, may well cause them to change course. Large numbers of people are now wondering about his mental state (like the people of Alabama who watch hurricane reports), and that, combined with findings of our investigations and hearings, could cause the critical increase in support for removal.

11. We've been worried about that since the day after the 2016 election.

What took them so long?

15. Should the Congressional hearing be open or closed?

16. Zero impulse control toddler.

He's like an insane toddler in a huge body.
