Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Trump is good at one and only one thing: staging compelling reality show TV.https://twitter.com/Popehat/status/1032303343194976256 …

    I still really can't get over, and I think it's impossible to overstate, how completely RIDICULOUS the drama was yesterday with the Cohen plea and Manafort verdict coming at almost the same moment. That's HBO series season finale stuff right there.

        I gotta say I did like yesterday's episode. Was that the season finale? Are they on hiatus?

        Can't wait until Trump opines over yesterday's ratings hit, concedes that it was his plan all along, just to make it oh so special for us. (Qnon rants over on reddit) /s

        Based on clips from last night’s rally, I think he might be slipping on that front, too.

        Watched it. He seemed slow, sweaty (again) and generally not really *there*. No 'oomph' and the Mussolini poses were more bit subdued.

        Unfortunately, what's good for Trump means it's terrifying for our nation. Nixon resigned for the good of the country. Trump will burn the nation to the ground. To boot, the feckless GOP is our guard rail.
