@blatham,
I guess it gives us some small sense of control or some meager comfort when we try to put a name to the kind of character he possesses and the destructive behaviors that he manifests. We keep doing that - it’s become sort of a quasi cottage industry - the “this is what’s wrong with Donald Trump” business.
I do it myself, all the time. I tend to naturally gravitate toward figuring out the “why” behind the choices people make.
But the fact remains that he got into the office of the presidency, and he continues with impunity to perpetrate ugly messes in every corner that government can touch. And every moment that passes is another moment with him suffering no real consequences for the messes he makes.
I would joyfully sacrifice any sure knowledge about the roots of Trump’s behavior to get just one subpoena to release information or appear before Congress enforced by one federal marshall.
Is anybody else just perpetually gobsmacked at how ******* absolutely dickless are the so-called checks-and-balances of the so-called coequal branches?
