‘I Want A Trial. They’re All Shifty Schiffs’: Trump Bombs In Comically Ridiculous Fox & Friends Rant
"The ambassador - the woman - I said, ‘Why are you being so kind? Well sir, she’s a woman, you have to be nice'", Donald Trump said of Marie Yovanovitch, during a truly wild Friday interview on Fox & Friends.
The president is struggling to come to terms with the reality of public testimony delivered over the last week. The accounts of Yovanovitch, Bill Taylor, Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, Gordon Sondland and David Holmes (among others) were devastating for the White House and generall
The biggest question is.. Is Trump capable of answering a question, without prioritizing cult like themes, logical fallacies and obfuscation.
There was definitely something ‘shifty’ going on in that interview, literally from those sell outs on their couch and figuratively from Trump’s insane rant. Trump couldn’t take a cue to save his life (or presidency) and I’m sure F&F hosts can’t sleep without a fistful of Xanax.
If you listen to the entire Fox and Friends interview you’ll probably agree. The man is either on drugs or needs to be.
Yup I’ve actually suspected for awhile he’s on (at least) a daily dose of Adderall. The rumours about his snorting habits before becoming president just served to further confirm my suspicions. Now I’m totally convinced. I’ve seen the exact same pattern of behaviours and ranting before. He was charismatic for some time and with continued daily use just devolves
All the batshit crazy tribal cult stuff that makes the GOP a cancer, isn’t going to change, if anything, trump and all these people are in an echo chamber spitting out an unfathomable cacophony of total retarded nonsense — where chaos and lies mix into a psychopathic sludge that seems to be growing in momentum. This mindset is the core guiding light that drove the German people to enraptured hitler. Meanwhile the libtards are focused on confusion.

==> “Right-wing authoritarianism captures the tendency to defer to legitimized authority,” the researchers write. If, in your mind, your leader can do no wrong, it follows that he can lie with impunity.
Relatedly, people who score high in social-dominance orientation “consider the social world as a competitive jungle,” they add. It’s easy to see how lying would be viewed as acceptable if you hold what the researchers describe as “the dog-eat-dog worldview where everyone does whatever is needed to get ahead.”
The researchers caution that these findings should not be overstated: Lying on the part of politicians was considered morally wrong by most people across the ideological spectrum. But people on the political right were far more likely than those on the left to disagree with this consensus, and this difference may allow Trump to lie without fear of losing their support.

Whether Trump weasels out of an impeachment or not depends critically on one person: John Bolton. If Bolton has any integrity, Trump is toast. If Bolton values a future in the Republican party over truth, Trump slides. Hope for the former, but expect the latter.
On second thought, I see another pathway to Trump impeachment, if Fox News turns on Trump. Chance of that happening is roughly 2%.
Meanwhile in the world of the GOP nazis:
“So much right-wing judicial corruption,” tweeted Drexel University Law Professor Anil Kalhan in response to Kennedy’s reported role in a would-be Kavanaugh nomination. “#GOPsleaze.”
And Kalhan’s criticism wasn’t limited to hashtag-coded outrage. He also called into question the legitimacy of Kennedy’s rulings during his final year on the bench.
“Kennedy made his request in April 2017,” Kalhan noted in a subsequent tweet. “He then proceeded to adjudicate cases involving major Trump priorities–like the #MuslimBan case–knowing Trump was weighing a decision about one of Kennedy’s own personal priorities while those cases were pending.”
