    It came from the NYT originally. But still needs to be consumed with salt, because the ultimate source is a pollster. And those guys fake it, a lot.

    Our president is either mentally ill, senile, or both.

    "“If I did one mistake with Comey, I should have fired him before I got here. I should have fired him the day I won the primaries,” Trump told the Hill."

    I vote for all three. He's also the Worst. Boss. Ever.

    That said, it takes a special person to get me to kinda like Jeff Sessions. Give Trump credit for being that special person.

    I wouldn't go that far. I would still like to see Sessions standing in a cesspool with sewage up to his neck. But while there I'd hope he was standing on Trump's shoulders.

    Trump's had that effect on a lot of Republicans for me: Ted Cruz, John McCain, Jeff Flake, both Bush brothers, Carly Fiorina, hell, even Marco Rubio.

    It would take a bit more of his "magic" for Joe Arpaio, Roy Moore and Mitch McConnell, but hey, the Trump presidency is still young. Let's see what the next two years brings.

    "James Comey? Donald J. Trump here from my exquisite office on top of Trump Tower"

    "Well hello, Mr. Trump. What can I do for you?"

    "Comey - yer fired. Go clean out yer desk"

    "Hold on, this is June 2016. You can't do that."

    "Well I just did. Thanks for your service. Eric - send him a box for his stuff"

    This shit is bonkers. And a reminder that Trump hasn't done a press conference in a year and a half.

    "President Trump in an exclusive interview with Hill.TV said Tuesday he ordered the release of classified documents in the Russia collusion case to show the public the FBI probe started as a “hoax” and that exposing it could become one of the “crowning achievements” of his presidency."

    He really thinks there's a conspiracy against him.

    It reminds me of the time my dad got pneumonia, which meant he couldn't drink the 4 beers a day he'd been drinking for about 60 years at that point. Which cause him to suffer from some form of the DTs. He kept referring to a dark conspiracy against him by me and my sister and my mom.

    In his own way my dad was tough as nails. He quit alcohol cold turkey, immediately.

    Oh, not Ted Cruz.
    He is one oily, odious, thoroughly unpleasant sack of smarmy crap.
    That man gives me the creeps.

    I can't imagine cheering for Joe unless he had one gun, and Hitler had the other. But yeah, maybe the Trump magic will extend that far.

    Agreed.

    But Trump slandered his father, and Ted's wife... I mean, she's suffered enough, but no spouse, no woman, no person, ought to take what Trump said about her.

    And even still, that sack of shit didn't even stand up for his own wife! He still groveled to kiss Trump's fat, orange ass and made calls on his behalf.

    I hope Beto O'Rourke uses lots of Trump's anti-Cruz messaging in his campaign. How can he stand up for Texas when he can't even stand up for his wife?

    I read that as over-the-top, then realized that the right (joined by the national media) attacked Mike Dukasis for exactly that reason -- that a man who won't stand up for his own wife (in a hypothetical question) couldn't be trusted to stand up for the country.

    So sure, Beto, go at it.

    This right here. I'd be running with that 24/7. Weakness/Loss of face seems to be the only thing that works with trump voters.


    Edit: Scratch that. Beto is a 4th generation Texan. Smarmy Ted is a carpet bagger. What the hell does he even know about bar-b-que. lol I'd run with that too.

    I don't think Beto even needs to go there. Ted is doing his work for him, by reminding Texas voters that there is only one born-and-bred Texan in the campaign -- and it ain't him. Plus, that whole BBQ thing reeks of desperation. It makes Ted look scared.

    People should go to Cruz events and loudly serenade him with "O Canada."

    It's just so hard to laugh at Roy More's Alabama any more. Really hard!

    A new creationist theme park in Lenox, Alabama is run by a Baptist preacher who believes that dinosaurs only grew so large because they were lizards who lived for 900 years and never stopped growing.

    In an interview with AL.com, creationist Kent Hovind explains how his new theme park, called Dinosaur Adventure Land, will teach young people about his own scientifically illiterate theories about the existence of dinosaurs.

    “It’s very simple,” he tells AL.com. “Before the flood came, in the days of Noah, the Bible says that people lived to be 900 years old. Genesis Chapter 5 tells us that. Well, I taught biology and reptiles never stop growing. What would happen to a reptile if he could live to be 900? That’s the dinosaurs. No big mystery.”

    Not quite.

    Due to my own troubles with a sociopath I read up quite a lot on the behaviours

    He does understand at some level that he is lying. But the truth (that he is a cheat and a fraud) causes him internal stress and pain - thus he will engage in outrageous deception to avoid the shame of it.

    A shining recent example was the murder of Helen Bailey in the UK. Her partner threw her in an old cess pit on the property and pretended she was missing. At trial he testified to a bizarre conspiracy that no one with any sense of self respect would contemplate. Simply embarassing and obvious that no one would believe him. But for the sociopath, even absurd lies are preferable to admitting the truth. See also Jodi Arias
