Yes, but the problem is that while he is, in fact, nuts, he is surrounded by ostensibly "sane" people who kowtow to his every move for a variety of self-serving reasons. He would not be able to do what he's doing without the cooperation of the entire GOP and a host of other sycophants.

It was evening all afternoon.
It was snowing
And it was going to snow.
The blackbird sat
In the cedar-limbs.

He sounds like an SNL parody of himself. The leader of the so-called free world.

Why would you think it's fake? Please voice a much stronger objection. Outrage.

Can anyone help me ID this fungus? Found in VA on the ground in leaf litter in mixed woods today, May 31. iNat keeps sending me to Amanitas (which it clearly is not) and Russulas (which I doubt). It's very hygrocybe-like (waxy, broad gills).

DARVO on steroids. (Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim and Offender).

"ActBlue's internal turmoil, lack of a functioning legal team, possible retaliatory actions, and failure to take fraud seriously [impede its ability] to deter fraud and comply with federal election law," via three GOP lawmakers.

Can nobody stop this man? Seriously. Not Congress, not SCOTUS, not a single person in his cabinet or among advisers--e,g. his raft of cynics and cowards. Also not economists, not bankers, not Wall Street, not citizens, not the plain old facts. Astonishing. Below: from WSJ 10 Point.

Genuine de-extinction (or avoiding extinction) efforts would involve habitat preservation and decreasing human population, not f***king around with genes.

Many questions, the first of which is whether the proposal for this research was peer reviewed and examined by any sort of ethics board. It sounds unethical as all get out.

Watters also said, "If you’re out working ... you are around other guys; you’re not around HR ladies and lawyers. That gives you estrogen."

Opinion | MAGA Maoism is spreading through the populist right A new conservative strain dreams of sending the bourgeoise to work the factories.

Has anybody noticed that the words "girl" and "woman" have become--for right wingers--terms of ridicule & contempt?

Fox News mocks Peter Navarro's "girl math."

Jesse Watters: "When you sit behind a screen all day, it makes you a woman . . . "

Please know that many of us Americans are as appalled as you are by our perverse administration and, even worse, the millions of Americans who saw fit to vote for the lunacy going on now--not to mention an entire party, the GOP, in thrall to Trump. We are under siege.
