Enough is Enough
"These are not normal times.
The man in the White House is reckless and unmanageable, a danger to the Cons ution, a threat to our democratic ins utions."
“Last week some of his worst qualities were on display: his moral vacuity and his disregard for the truth, as well as his stubborn resistance to sensible advice.
As ever, he lashed out at imaginary enemies and scapegoated others for his own failings.
Most important, his reluctance to offer a simple and decisive condemnation of racism and Nazism astounded and appalled observers around the world.”
“With such a glaring failure of moral leadership at the top,
it is desperately important that others stand up and speak out to defend American principles and values.
This is no time for neutrality, equivocation or silence.
Leaders across America — and especially those in the president’s own party — must summon their reserves of political courage to challenge President Trump publicly, loudly and unambiguously.”
“But where are the rest?
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) are the two most-powerful men in Congress.
Both have fired off the occasional potshot
but for the most part have stood firmly behind this wildly flawed president,
despite the taunts and insults Trump hurled at them from his Twitter redoubt.
What holds them back?
Craven, self-serving political calculations designed to protect their careers,
and dwindling hope that the president, despite everything, will help them move their long-delayed legislative agenda.
Their silence is shameful.“

Trump Just Returned To Washington And Broke A Major Campaign Promise
On the heels of Trump’s return from vacation,
he will address the nation at 9 p.m. Monday night to announce what is largely expected to be
a surge of as many as 4,000 new troops into Afghanistan.
This move, however, would come in sharp contrast to Trump’s statements dating back to 2011,
in which he staunchly opposed military intervention of any kind in that country.

The elites strike back — getting under Trump’s skin
THE BIG IDEA:
The 2016 election represented, as much as anything else, a repudiation of America’s elites and everything they believe in.
By running on the hollow promises of populism, nativism and isolationism, an angry outsider challenged many of the bipartisan shibboleths that have long united most of the highly educated and affluent leaders of our country and culture.
Seven months into President Trump’s reign, the elites are striking back.
From Wall Street to West Palm Beach and West Hollywood, the past week has been a turning point, perhaps even a tipping point. Since Trump abdicated his moral leadership after Charlottesville, the well-connected have used their leverage — like checkbooks and celebrity — to send a message about what truly makes America great.
The growing number of groups canceling galas, stars boycotting ceremonies and chief executives resigning from advisory boards is further isolating Trump.
People in his orbit say the president has been in a sour mood about all of this.
He stormed the barricades, but now he’s the one under siege.
Unlike most of the criticism he’s engendered since taking office, the past week has actually impacted his bottom line.
The value of the Trump “brand,” which he once said is worth billions, has taken a bath since he declared that some “fine people” were protesting alongside the neo-Nazis and white supremacists at the University of Virginia.

The Former Chairman Of The RNC Just Made An Awesome Prediction About Trump’s Presidency
“Time is running out for the Trump administration to enact its agenda,” CNBC reported that Steele said on Squawk Box, “and
disagreements on key issues between the White House, the Senate, and the House will make things even harder.”
“The tension is already there on some big-ticket items like tax reform and health care that
the Senate is of one mind,
the House is of another and
the White House is on a completely different page,” said Steele.
“You’ve got Republicans who came into Congress with the idea they are not going to vote for any increase in the debt at all,” explains Steele.
“And the president who wants a clean spending bill on the table.
Those members want to cut. (and McConnell just announced INCREASING the debt)
So you’ve already got that problem on one big issue even before you get to tax reform.”
“This is a problem that will require a lot of negotiation,” adds Steele, who is also the former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland.
“The White House doesn’t seem to be in the mood for negotiation. They just want to get it done. “
“That isn’t how the process gets done,” adds Steele.
“You know that and I know that. But the expectation is we came here to drain the swamp, not to do it the way you’ve always gotten it done.”
“So McConnell is in a pickle because he doesn’t want to have this subject on the table going into next year’s election,” concludes Steele,
“particularly when you’ve got senators on the ballot.”
Bannon, says Steele, “now plans to use the media and all of its weapons to go after those in the deep state like
McConnell and others who made the president’s agenda – in their view – a compromised agenda.”
“This fall is not going to be pretty for Republicans,” Steele predicts.

Paid actors, a fake publicist, and retweeted bots: Trump habitually uses deceit and propaganda to shape perceptions
President Donald Trump’s Twitter habits help shape the media and public narrative about his administration, which is why his record of retweeting and quote-tweeting accounts with su ious bot or sock-puppet activity raises concerns.
A Media Matters study of an archive of Trump’s Twitter account revealed that over the past year, Trump has on a handful of occasions propped up praise from accounts that feature su ious bot activity or that have since been suspended or deactivated. If he’s unintentionally promoting bots, it shows gullibility and a lack of basic due diligence on his part that is terrifying in someone as powerful as the president. And if he’s promoting such tweets intentionally, that shows how shamelessly Trump resorts to propaganda in an effort to bolster his image, set narratives, distract the public from damaging news, spin stories in his favor, and provide talking points for far-right media networks with no regard for reality.
Trump’s history of using deceit to manipulate the media and project self-advantageous messages indicates that there’s perhaps nothing accidental about his tendency to retweet bots. For three decades, starting in the 1970s, Trump infamously pretended to be a fictional publicist named John Miller and used that pseudonym to plant pro-Trump stories in the media. In June 2015, Trump paid actors to cheer for him during his announcement that he would run for president, during which he called Mexican immigrants rapists.
Trump has said that he retweets for a reason and that the retweets are an endorsement “to a certain extent.”
This doesn’t leave much room to question the intentionality behind his insidious strategy.

What Donald Trump’s tweets reveal about his mental health
From his obsession with "the haters and losers" to his episodes of mania and delusion, it's all there on Twitter
One of the most notable things about the 34,000 tweets that Rachel Montgomery culled through for this new book is their sheer quan y.
To make sense of his aberrant behavior, you need to understand, specifically,
what is psychologically wrong with Donald Trump.
His diagnosis is the Rosetta Stone to cracking the Trump Twitter code, revealing its underlying structure, and unfortunately, how much *danger all the rest of us are in as a result.
He is a malignant narcissist who is also on the bipolar spectrum.
From a psychiatric perspective, the prognosis could not be more dire—for us.
Trump embodies the diagnostic criteria of believing himself to be “uniquely superior,” (“Only I can fix it”) to a degree that would be comical if it weren’t so frightening.
He appears to literally believe that he knows more about everything than everybody, despite his lack of experience, study, intellectual curiosity, or even normal attention span.
“No one knows more about (fill in the blank) than me,” he repeats over and over, while it becomes more absurd, as his imagined portfolio of expertise expands with each improbable bombastic claim.
But malignant narcissism is to garden variety Narcissistic Personality Disorder what a malignant tumor is to a benign one. Both are bad, but only one will kill you.
“The quintessence of evil,” was how Erich Fromm described malignant narcissism
A malignant narcissist is a human monster.
“the malignant narcissist is pathologically grandiose, lacking in conscience and behavioral regulation with characteristic demonstrations of joyful cruelty and sadism.”
When you combine these four ingredients—narcissism, antisocial traits, paranoia, and sadism—you have
a leader who feels
omnipotent,
omniscient, and
en led to total power,
who rages at being persecuted by imaginary enemies,
which includes anyone who disagrees with him,
as well as vulnerable minority groups who represent no threat whatsoever.

Will Trump Be the Death of the Goldwater Rule?
A strange consensus does appear to be forming around Trump’s mental state.
A strange consensus does appear to be forming around Trump’s mental state.
Following Trump’s unhinged Phoenix speech, James Clapper, the former director of National Intelligence, said on CNN, “I really question his … fitness to be in this office,” describing the address as “scary and disturbing” and characterizing Trump as a “complete intellectual, moral, and ethical void.”
Senator Bob Corker, a Republican from Tennessee, said that the President “has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability, nor some of the competence, that he needs” to lead the country.
Last Friday, Representative Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat from California, introduced a resolution urging a medical and psychiatric evaluation of the President, pointing to an “alarming pattern of behavior and speech causing concern that a mental disorder may have rendered him unfit and unable to fulfill his Cons utional duties.” Lofgren asked, in a press release,
“Does the President suffer from early stage dementia?
Has the stress of office aggravated a mental illness crippling impulse control?
Has emotional disorder so impaired the President that he is unable to discharge his duties?
Is the President mentally and emotionally stable?”
The principle known as the “Goldwater rule” prohibits psychiatrists from giving professional opinions about public figures without personally conducting an examination
