Yesterday, Trump posted : substackcdn.com Now, I ask you: If you were in the Iranian regime, would you be: (1) frightened by this post or (2) relieved that you were finally causing Trump to melt down? I’d guess (2). You’d see his post and figure that Trump — posting on Easter Sunday — has finally gone utterly and definitively bonkers. You’ve done it. He’s mad as a hatter. I was bullied as a kid. The way I knew I was winning against the bullies was when they started to scream and swear and rant and rave at me. That’s when I knew they felt powerless. They’d done everything they could to beat me down, and yet they couldn’t. I was tougher than their fists. They went nuts. Is there any other explanation for Trump’s outburst? Many of Trump’s posts are really intended for domestic consumption. Perhaps he wanted to sound tough for his American followers? That’s unlikely. Just Wednesday night he told America that the U.S. doesn’t “need” the strait to be open . If we don’t need it open,...

We were right about all of it — and we're owed apology as America hangs by a thread

Image
I am still wondering what the hell we are supposed to do with the people who voted for Trump upwards of three times, the anti-Americans who are somehow still with him, and the abhorrent, lazy, self-serving people who can’t be bothered to vote at all. America is a complete disaster area that is littering the world with our radical right-wing trash, and ten of millions of us who predicted this would happen are owed a damn apology, and need to be listened to exclusively going forward. So let me say this with precision: We were right about all of it. And while that won’t change one damn terrible thing that has happened since that pitch black November night in 2016, I do think that for mental health purposes, it is important during this time of war and want, that the real patriots in this country hear this from time to time. And let me be crystal clear about this, too: Predicting all these atrocities had nothing to do with possessing a brain, and everything to do with common decency. ...

Image
Irascible Democratic strategist and vehement Trump-hater James Carville delivered what he felt was pertinent information for President Donald Trump — information that he felt the president was just not picking up on. “They hate you. Everybody hates you,” Carville growled into a brief YouTube video via Politicon . “There’s an article I read about ‘how low can his polling go?’ What’s your floor? … You might go through the floor because all you’re going to have left is hardcore MAGA. You’re down to 33 percent [approval] and … they’re now admitting they can’t believe they voted for you. … You’re more trouble than you’re worth!” Carville noted Trump’s upsetting “word mash” at his Wednesday Iran war progress report and made a plea for the ailing president to stay alive long enough for voters to sink him in the midterms and subsequent elections. “Don’t go and throw the … number on me before the election because I want you very, very aware on election night so people can tell you what th...
