It's not about supporting the Orange Leviathan, it's about jumping on Hilary and her criminal acts! Lock her up! When something goes astray, point fingers at her to deflect attention away!

I cannot stand John Oliver, what a smug bag of air. No wonder he likes to talk Trump so much. He can beat him at his own game.

Wow, there's so much insane bulls--t packed into that interview, it's almost impossible to process it all. His continuing obsession with the election results is quite fascinating actually...like every time he opens his mouth to speak, something gets triggered and his swiss cheese brain keeps going back to his Electoral College win like a broken record. It's f'n weird.

Everyone knows that real diagnoses of mental illness require a degree of longitudinal testing, and in-person interactions between the subject and professional.

Often multiple opinions are sought before making a diagnosis. Man, America is just crap from top to bottom. Brutal.

This doesn't sound ominous at all...

Top Trump administration officials will hold a rare briefing on Wednesday at the White House for the entire U.S. Senate on the situation in North Korea, senior Senate aides said on Monday.

All 100 senators have been asked to the White House for the briefing by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the aides said.

...

House aides said they were working with the White House to set a similar briefing for members of the House of Representatives.

Honestly when it comes right down to it, American politics can just be decided by the flip of a coin. Democrat or Republican. No need for voting and the circus behind it.
Except that one side of the coin is a party that accepts climate science and actually wants people to have heathcare, and the other side is a party that is destroying the EPA and trying to gut healthcare

Something I'd never heard before from that article. Unbelievable.



It would be like if a member of the Lokomotiv team (that all died in the plane crash) had remained home due an injury or something started bragging about how he was now the indisputable best player on the team.

Definitely ominous, but not surprising. Trump's approval ratings are in the toilet, he hasn't passed any significant legislation in his first 100 days, he's the laughing stock of the entire world, and his administration is being investigated by the FBI. Quick, we need to start a war to distract the public from all this negativity!

Allen Frances says he's tired of "amateur diagnosticians" insisting that U.S. President Donald Trump has narcissistic personality disorder.

And he should know. As the chair of the task force that wrote the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV, Frances literally helped write the definition of NPD.

In a letter to the New York Times, Frances, a retired Duke University professor, wrote that Trump "may be a world-class narcissist, but this doesn't make him mentally ill, because he does not suffer from the distress and impairment required to diagnose mental disorder."

"When people are bad, they should be labelled appropriately and denounced for their behaviours. We should not use mental illness to slur someone," he said. "It's a very strange society that thinks that it's somehow worse to call Donald Trump mentally ill than to call him evil."

Yeah well, the Vice President thinks homosexuality is a mental disorder and conversion therapy would straighten them out. And he's the ####ing Vice President.

That AP interview is so crazy.

One of my favorite parts is where he says he said NATO was obsolete as he didn't know much about NATO, but now he knows lots about NATO.

Bizarre.

i would say that it was extremely dumb, if that is indeed what happened.

As for "automatically loses the debate" that would be impossible... Debates don't keep 'score', so you can't actually have a 'win' put aside especially because of knowing in advance two questions.

However, if the issue becomes one of "trust" or "integrity", I'd still take Hillary over Trump based on the plethora of lawsuits in Trump's wake, where he screwed over hundreds, in not thousands, of employees, contractors, trades and students over the course of building and bankrupting his supposed "empire"... the "american worker" that he promises to fight for

I wasn't a huge HC fan, but I thought she was imminently more qualified than Trump was.... anyone one watching the debates ought to have been able to see that if they were even remotely objective.

Personally, I prefer to elect leaders who are smarter than I am.... Americans prefer "plain speakin' folks" who they'd like to have a beer with... Not exactly a high bar for the leader of the free world
