How stupid is Trump?

Beau of the Fifth Column talks about why Nikki Haley is staying in the.

What's the big deal about Nikki Haley being a better candidate than Trump and having a better chance of beating Biden than Trump. That wouldn't make her a better president than Trump. She's as big an an asshole as Trump. The difference is Haley is an asshole by choice, whereas Trump is an asshole by mental illness.

"Hitch your wagon to a star."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

No, he didn't say hitch your wagon to a tsar, Trumpers.

Trump promoters could take a page from the book of this Mickey Mouse Club rally by issuing Trump masks for their devotees to wear at their rallies. I think they'd love it.

Trumps dad and two guys got into a scuffle with police outside this Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939.

I keep waiting for Joe Biden to really lose control, when the whole time Mango Jebus was in office there was hardly ever instance of his being in any sort of mental condition to be considered "in control".

We need to really need to keep pointing this out. The Orange Shitgibbon is out of control. He's lost his mind. He's put simply staying out of jail before the interests of every other citizen in this country.

Trump and Putin

It's easy to see the benefits Putin gets from a trump presidency, such as the division and dissension that Trump causes in the United States. Putin gains favor and support in Russia by making other countries appear weak and divided, especially successful, powerful democracies. Putin also wants to expand Russia by invading other European countries, and NATO is the only thing standing in his way. Trump has expressed a desire to weaken NATO by withdrawing from the treaty giving Putin a green light to further invade countries in Europe and reform the Russian empire.

But what benefits does Trump get by supporting Putin? That's more difficult to understand.

Is it political support via Russia robots on social media to help him get elected? Is it financial support? Is Trump in such financial dependency on Russia and Russian loans that he fears retribution if he defaults? Is it merely a political desire to emulate the political power that Putin and other autocrats hold? Does he wish to join the political club of worldwide autocrats and dictators simply to fill a psychological and narcissistic need?

Steve Schmidt reacts to the murder of Alexei Navalny.

"Alexei Navalny was murdered by Vladimir Putin, and he was murdered within one week of Donald Trump taking to the stage in front of his enthralled MAGA crowd and encouraging Vladimir Putin to initiate World War 3 by attacking the NATO countries."

"It's Friday February 16th 263 days until America elects its next president. This is the warning Winston Churchill said: 'Courage is the first virtue because without courage none of the others are possible.'"

"Alexei Navalny was a man of courage. His was a Titanic life, and it was given to the cause of freedom. Someday he will be remembered as one of Russia's greatest heroes. He was poisoned by Vladimir Putin because he was Vladimir Putin's most potent opponent."
