Among the symptoms of Trump Contagion is the inability to accurately perceive the consequences of one’s acctions or accurately gauge the perceptual acumen of people around you.

Joe & Mika tried to con us, but may have also been trying to con themselves whe they wrote that, this time, Trump might be amenable to compromise or bipartisanship.

Or maybe they just want to buy a new house and are worried about losing their lavish salaries.

The corporate media thought that if they did everything possible to get Trump back in, it might win back their viewership as well. Wrong: your audiences will never return because they no longer trust you, and with good reason.

Democrats do not understand MAGA. They need to consult specialists in mass psychosis like Dr. Bandy Lee, and they need to begin to prioritize messaging. Unfortunately, given our electorate, messaging is even more important than policy.

the span of years between Obama’s election and today roughly parallels the interval between the end of World War I and Hitler’s assumption of power. And, yes, he was voted in. 

How is Trump even going to be able to make an inaugural speech? He can barely wrap the words around his implants. Is he going to fellate the microphone? Or start talking about sharks? His dementia has reached the stage  where it accelerates by the day. I saw this happen with a relative.

They will do that so long as we’re not heading into an election where there is a possibility he might not get in and might not be able to deep six our country. The Times is, as Jamison Foser has said, a Republican newspaper, for all  its Editorial Board’s center-left pronouncements.
