I am completely without prejudices -- I hate everybody equally. Hear hear! From namby pamby bleeding heart liberals to the alt right, there is only a small slice of America somewhere in between, who agree with me fully, that I can even associate with. (and even their motives are questionable)
Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

Trump sent a get well card to Hillary Clinton, again breaking with Republican orthodoxy: This is the first time a Republican has cared about a woman's health.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

OMG .... Mr Trump has stooped to the lowest form of human .... send a get well card and get some votes
ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

#TangerineNightmare Whose hypocrisy knows no bounds: DONALD TRUMP NAMED former CIA director and extremist neoconservative James Woolsey his senior adviser on national security issues on Monday. Woolsey, who left the CIA in 1995, went on to become one of Washington’s most outspoken promoters of U.S. war in Iraq and the Middle East.
As such, Woolsey’s selection either clashes with Trump’s noninterventionist rhetoric — or represents a pivot towards a more muscular, neoconservative approach to resolving international conflicts.
Trump has called the Iraq War “a disaster.”
Woolsey, by contrast, was a key member of the Project for the New American Century — a neoconservative think tank largely founded to encourage a second war with Iraq. Woolsey signed a letter in 1998 calling on Clinton to depose Saddam Hussein and only hours after the 9/11 attacks appeared on CNN and blamed the attacks on Iraq. Woolsey has continued to insist on such a connection despite the complete lack of evidence to support his argument. He also blames Iran.

I still think his secret plan is to lose because he can make a lot of money, build his brand, and having to work the job sucks.

I think that Trump thinks he can "abdicate the throne" once it becomes too difficult to manage. Then Pence can come in and do the hard stuff.

Delusions of grandeur, in the mind of a sociopath, are like everyday thoughts to you and me. I don't give him enough credit for having a coherent plan. It's all media circus and bullshyte, no different than he has ever been.

What would Mark Twain do with this kind of material...?
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
