  • I always wonder about people like her. What is it like inside her brain? How does she see the world and her place in it?

    Broadly, she's obviously mentally ill - no sane and rational person could make the decisions she makes. But how specifically? Is she delusional? Does she just not live in consensual reality? If not that, then what is it? Is she amoral - entirely unable to even grasp the concept of morality? Or is she so pathologically self-absorbed that she has no principles or ethics? Or is she just so greedy and/or power-hungry that she ignores everything else? Or does she have some speck of principles or morals or empathy thatvshe silences with alcohol or drugs?

    I really have no idea, but I can't help but wonder. It's just so bizarre to me that any human being could be that utterly loathsome. What goes through their heads in those unguarded moments when they're standing in the shower or sitting on the toilet or laying in bed? How can they not have at least some awareness of how foul they are?

  • So charged for describing Israel accurately.

    Ironically, if one merely eliminates the common conception that whites are the master race and instead treats Nazism as a philosophy that can be held and exercised by any race that considers themselves the rightful master race, Israel is arguably the purest manifestation of Nazism ever.

  • Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

    It has granted relief to Trump … in all 15 rulings.

    It has written majority opinions in only 3.

    Today’s order is the 7th with no explanation at all.

    The explanation is very simple - the conservarive majority is so entirely corrupt, compromised and lawless, and their rulings such a direct reflection of that, that they can't even manage to pretend that there's any legitimate basis for anything they do.

  • "intimate” information that isn’t of “legitimate concern to the public.”

    You know - things like charges, payment methods, offshore bank accounts, preferred vacation destinations, scheduling private jet flights...

  • The problem is that the corporations have no incentive to not pay the extortion money.

    If Paramount had, as anyone with any integrity at all would have, told Trump to go fuck himself, the Toddler-in-chief would thrown everything he could get his tiny little hands on at them, and they would've ended up paying far more than $16 million trying to fend it off. So instead, they just cut President Shitbag a check, and now he'll (supposedly) rubber stamp the merger they want.

    The responsibility for bringing that loathsome bag of pus to justice falls on someone else - the other two branches of the government. And they're cowardly, complicit and corrupt.

    The Supreme Court doesn't even bother pretending to be upholding the law or the Constitution any more. The conservative majority is wholly owned by the same autocratic scumbags who are backing Trump, and they self-evidently see themselves as having one and only one mission - to give that reeking piece of shit whatever he wants no matter what sort of illogic and lies they have to use.

    And in Congress, the Republicans are lining up to suck the rapist's deformed dick in the hope of getting to play a role in the oligarchy to come, and the Democrats are entirely focused on destroying the leftists in their midst so that they can continue gorging themselves on conservative soft money in exchange for doing nothing.

    So the profoundly mentally ill and brazenly criminal piece of shit who's stinking up the Oval Office is free to do whatever the hell he wants because every single person who might be able to do something about it is one or another sort of piece of shit themselves, with the only minor distinction being whether they're corporate pieces of shit or judicial pieces of shit or congressionsl pieces of shit.

  • Even against the staggeringly grotesque day-to-day reality of Trump's corruption and malfeasance, this urge he apparently has to try to come to the rescue of foreign politicians rightly facing consequences for their own corruption and malfeasance really stands out.

    It sounds glib, but it really does appear thst he simply, genuinely believes that corrupt sacks of shit have to stick together, and he's trying to do his part (and, no doubt, end up owed a favor).
