"Trump continued to read names and lists of charges, sometimes without even looking at the camera. Instead, it appeared he was simply reading brand-new information aloud to himself. ...
'Look,' Trump said, holding up another page. 'Killed someone.'”

It wasn't normal, you know? You're used to looking at, like, a window."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"But this one you're looking at all the steel—vicious steel, tiny windows, bars all over the place. Nobody was getting out. It's called the mental institution. That was an insane asylum.”
The point of that weave seems to have been that Democrats either created inhumane mental institutions or had a hand in ending them and placing mentally ill people on the streets — something it's well known Reagan did.

"Trump himself has told us what’s going on: he’s throwing a temper tantrum over not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize — not how he put it, but that was the gist of his text to Norway’s prime minister. And there’s no reason to disbelieve him, even though Scott Bessent says that quoting Trump’s own words is a 'complete canard.'”

in reply to William Lindsey • • •Go about it the right way.
As with Nixon, it was necessary to handle Spiro Agnew's corruption first, then deal with Nixon the crook second.
The last thing anyone needs is a Vance presidency, a younger, more wily fascist.
No one needs a Peter Thiel shadow presidency either.
Vance wants to bring back feudalism & aristocracy.

So if Europe really wants to fix the problem, it’s time for the big guns. Europe accounts for almost 20% of trade with the US. If they cut off US companies’ access to their 450 million customers it would inflict real pain.
Europe’s financial 'bazooka' is the leverage that will beat out rhetoric, every time."
