I heard someone call this "a new low for Trump" but I don't know. It seems about as low as everything else he says and does.

Yes. He is the man who refused to lift a finger when his people ( I use the term very loosely ) were trying to hang his Vice President on gallows that they built specifically for that purpose. They had text book malice aforethought. Too much cognitive dissonance to this day for weak minded people to realize it really did happen and is still happening. He continues almost daily to intentionally inspire death threats and actual violence and attempted murder. His debased followers refused to believe the attempted murder of Pence when they watched it on tv right before their eyes and they still erase it from acceptance of the reality of it now.

The morally depraved monster never even once said anything about the police officer who died that night from a heart attack or the 4 officers who committed suicide within 4 months.

This country re-elected a morally depraved sociopath.
What does that mean about them??
One day that must be examined more closely.

I have not said it for a while that we have a dumb stupid ignorant inferior population in the United States but depending upon whether he loses at least 20% of his base after his celebration of the murder of a man so morally superior to him then I must start saying we have a stupid and morally depraved country.

Trump has written the book for American politics and cowardly moral depravity. And he has quite the loyal following. We will see how many say no mas. I predict just a handful.

Trump has a certain psychological derangement syndrome. It can be defined as a dereliction of truth telling. But he is such a world class purveyor of lies. There isn’t even a hustler alive living on the streets to support a drug habit who can rise to his level of deceit and bullshiit.

I watched a snippet of his harangue tonight and in 30 seconds he told 8 or 9 boldfaced lies. That is impressive. He is now in a state of desperation.
One day he will lie in state.

And whenever he is crazier than usual there is probably some trouble and pressure from Putin.
Something is going on. Just today Russia said that Trump “promised” that Russia would get land from Ukraine in a deal. When push comes to shove and blackmail comes to compromise.

Which brings it back to the Epstein files. He is cooked if all are released or he cooked if they use phony excuses to not release some of them.

Norms must be replaced by laws and there needs to be a process where pardons can be recommended by the president but granted only by an independent group of scholars and professors and highest rated ABA lawyers. It should be publicly disclosed and public hearings like the Supreme Court has and certain criteria must be followed. Sort of like a parole board.

No more destruction of government property by a president.

No retaliation against members of the press for bringing cases of defamation and harassment
against federal employees including the president. Decorum must be observed.

There is nothing involving Trump released. A few photos were shown and quickly removed.

The DOJ has said they will hold back anything that could be involved in an ongoing investigation.
Technically by prior norms the DOJ was almost entirely independent. Now they are Trump’s law firm.

But even so they can use this fake loophole to serve Trump.
Say that or imply or leak that Trump is under investigation so nothing with his name or image or tapes he is in can be released because it would jeopardize or taint the investigation.

It would not shock me.

For Laramie Bob - a Christmas music gift that you probably already have.
There is an Americana guy named John Fullbright who had a Grammy nominated album about 10 years ago give or take called Up From The Ground.
And except for some live music album after it he fell off the face of the earth.

There is a song on it called Gawd Almighty.
I had heard the song when it came out and I was blown away. I consider it to be an all time song.
Any iconic singer songwriter would kill to have it in their repertoire of compositions.
It is an extremely dynamic song - thunderous.

I never knew the artist or the name of the song anltjough I hoped to hear it again one day and finally earlier this year by luck I found it. Thanks to Pandora and a generated playlist it did off of an artist or song I had picked.

Im sure there are people out there that know who John Fullbright is and the song.
If not you will thank me.

Those who look at the polls from time to time on Realclear politics might take notice of two pollsters.
Ive mentioned them a few times. AtlasIntel and Rassmussin.

Rasmussin is either 2 or 3. Very reliable. In 16 they were considered very conservative like in the pocket but when all was said and done they were right on target. I think the best. Great again in 20 and 24.

AtlasIntel is the gold standard. Extremely accurate.

Right now their current polling has Rassmussin having 8% more disapproval. That’s telling because they have never had Trump polling so poorly.

AtlasIntel the best pollster has a whopping 18% under water mark; 57 dis and 39 for.

I have taken the AtlasIntel and it is impressive.
No ambiguous or poorly written questions and no questions that cause a mistaken answer. And every question gets to the bottom line. This is not true for all and most are not so comprehensive.

I don’t know which is more in decline - Trump’s cognition or his approval.

And he is 80 in 6 months.
