1. Colbert expressed the same sentiment in his monologue last night.

[duforsure]

2. He hires people he knows are incompetent but loyal to him,

So he can bully them , then demand they be corrupt for him , or face replacement for someone who is. He starts fights with people to use to victimize them with , and an excuse for their removal. Then he finds someone more corruptible he can then use for his own political and financial gains, or that will protect him, like Barr is doing for him.

3. He's so repulsive.

I hope tonight is the shitshow that I think it's going to be. He deserves to be humiliated in a sensational way.

4. THAT is a sentiment I can really get behiind!

Public, undeniable, excoriating, disparaging, derogative, aspersive, deprecative humiliation. A stain of shame that cannot be erased or endured for centuries' sunlight. So ego-melting that the orange will be bleached white, bone white as chalk. Sere and devoid of hue and animation. Utterly disintegrated and evaporate of trickling force.

That was FUN.

6. Well, we have a poet amongst our midst!

13. Well, you have to start somewhere!

5. Only 3 states are doing a great job with the virus.

NY, NJ and Michigan. They are doing so well because they wouldn't allow such a thing in their states. Plus they are also smart enough not to be on your side in the polls.

7. I would add California to that list

Another deep blue state.

10. Pennsylvania is also navigating the storm rather well.

Though the Right Wing Zealots in the State Legislature are trying to impeach Gov Tom Wolfe for doing a bang up job balancing the Covid response and re-opening the economy cautiously.

12. Add Massachusetts to that list.

Even though we had the 3rd or 4th highest cases and deaths, our numbers are going down--- way down.

People here are very good about distancing and wearing masks. It's rare to see someone without a mask.

There are even some zealots who wear masks all alone on dog trails in the woods.

14. Add MA to that.

We have brought our numbers way down. We were hit very hard and now have things pretty much under control due to shutdowns, social distancing and people in our state abiding by the rules and suggestions. I think IL is also doing a pretty good job, particularly Cook county.

8. Isn't Paula Reid one of the reporters that iq45* said he wished would behave more like a demure

59's housewife?

Payback can be amusing.

11. they're drawn to the sex on the wrong brain i'm-never-wrong royal certitude

it's the certainty deficit disorder - CDD - authoritarians need certainty/ avoid uncertainty

he got it very bad - probably a combo of genes and fucked-up childhood - he's been compensating for debilitating fear all his life by creating certainty out of thin air - he learned to simplify the complex to absolutes - right wrong, black white

his sycophants/servants are drawn to the royal absolute i'm-never-wrong royal certitude. it's all tied into the sex on the wrong brain circuitry that makes it pleasurable to deny reality needed to accept the lies and made-up certainty

luckily not all humans who learned sex with the right hand have it as bad as trump or his authoritarian followers
