The Shallow State

It's a good time to restate: Trump CANNOT and DOES NOT see beyond himself. He is NOT strategic - he is transactional. He is a walking talking "id." He only pivots from self-interest, and cannot shut up or stop, even when it serves his interest. He is a dangerous malignant narcissist, who is returning to power during cognitive decline, OWNED by disorders.

@highbrow_nobrow @Acyn He's Rambo.

Donald Trump: "If I took this shirt off, you would see a beautiful beautiful person. But you would see wounds all over. I’ve taken a lot of wounds, I can tell you. More than I suspect any president ever." @Acyn (June 2024)

@atrupar In fairness, she's THE most consequential Slovenian hooker ever.

Exclusive Senior Adviser to Melania Trump Marc Beckman: "I believe that our First Lady -- the current First Lady Melania Trump -- is the single most consequential First Lady in the history of our nation ... it is fair to argue she's had more impact on the peace process between Ukraine and Russia ... "

@feb2ndday Don't minimize No Kings. That's huge. But that's the people. What I'm talking about here is what our elected officials need to be publicly and loudly saying. The people will fight, but we want our leaders to fight with us and for us.

I don't get it. Trump has been putting the fucking ball on the tee since day one. We get finger wagging, letter writing, congressional hearings and No Kings protests. Fuck that. No one is swinging a bat. Democrats need to have daily press conferences or briefings to debunk every motherfucking thing that comes out of Trump's mouth. Loudly. Forcefully. Repeatedly. He controls the fucking narrative 24/7. The fucking Democrats won't leave the dugout. Who exactly is running this goddamn team? It's fucking pathetic.

Dems REALLY need to begin more forcefully presenting a narrative that Trump is so erratic and unstable and full of falsehood and delusion, that he is NO LONGER ABLE to carry out the duties of the presidency and therefore MUST BE REMOVED from office. Look at him! Listen to him! To do anything but broach his unfitness and removal is to normalize that. And to normalize him is to normalize psychopathy, FFS! Rep Adam Smith made the appeal today. Others should echo it. Now. Time to ratchet up the discussion, Dems - and - get on f*cking TV with it and say it loud. It's true, it's 100% accurate, and it shows the mettle that voters want to see.

@RepAdamSmith Well said and accurate.

It is time for Donald Trump to be removed from office.

We need more of this - MUCH MORE OF THIS - now!

There's also, dog, good, boy, treat, vegetable garden, sunshine, resist, together, unify, and of course ... dementia-ridden sc*mbag.

We're awash amid lies, sociopaths, bluster, oligarchs, inflation, pedophiles, measles, secret police, grift, and explosive diarrhea.

@DineshDSouza @POTUS He made $2.2B that we know of much of it in transactions that were "rigged" to not work for the body of investors that invested alongside him. But sure, he didn't tack on $400k above that colossal windfall. What a guy.

Despite barely any media coverage, @POTUS has consistently donated his entire $400,000 annual presidential salary. Trump deserves credit for this.

@NeilSmith18 @SenSchumer @ossoff Or Raskin.

@OurShallowState @SenSchumer get @ossoff to rebut, he's fucking class, the contrast will be striking

Maybe Dems should schedule a rebuttal speech.

@PEDROOROBLANCO That's a false equivalency. I understand it, and I understand the frustration underlying it, but as an equivalency, it is false.

@OurShallowState They won't disband or start it over. The administration has the militia it always wanted. I'm not convinced that a Democrat administration will do things much differently. I look at bipartisan Israeli support for guidance here.

They're not only killing people, but the people they kill aren't even the people they were looking for, and they're killing them in front of their families.

@alan_curti26040 He thinks he's above God. God made many mistakes and is stupid.

@OurShallowState I've noticed that lately he thinks he is the king of the world. Shutting down the ICC. Having Prime Ministers removed in other countries. Controlling the Strait of Hormuz. How long before he thinks he is God?

On Thursday, Trump's desperation will be in full view. He'll be lashing out, and pushing the envelope. His malignant pathology rules him now and his ample gut is a simmering stew of agitation and rage. His faulty brain is fixated not only on hate and malice and plots of revenge and retribution, but on rewriting history - and he wants it to record his perfection. But there's more. He needs it for grandiosity, and to avoid humiliation in the midterms. He's hungry for some new lie, new false flag narrative to take root, and he has a need for speed. But there's more still. He feels his own mortality; and he feels like shit. He fears losing, knows his polls are tanking, and can't bear impeachment. And there's one more thing: He's compromised by Putin and on Epstein, needs to protect against exposure, and feels he can't let those issues once again be dominant in the public narrative.

@highbrow_nobrow Satan allegedly masquerades as God all the time.

Trump’s WH Spiritual Advisor, Paula White: “To say no to Trump is like saying no to God.”

He fomented an insurrection. He botched a pandemic. He stole classified documents. He committed every type of fraud known to man. He is compromised. He protects pedophiles. He's a 34-time convicted felon. He's an adjudicated rapist, who paid his victim $5.6M so far. He monetizes the presidency and weaponizes justice. He's lawless. He obstructs justice at every turn. He lies as he breathes. He's narcissistic. He's psychopathic. He's paranoid. He's sadistic. I can go on. YET - no matter how bad we know he is, and no matter how bad the things we know he did are, remember this: Some of the things we don't yet know he did, are even worse.

I feel like Dems need to do more to get ahead of Trump's more delusional and idiotic schemes, like the upcoming Thursday Night conspiracy-fest. Scoff at it in advance. Tell people to look for signs of medication. Tell people NOT to drink a shot when he lies, which could be fatal.

@marlene4719 Replacing one delusion with another delusion is called "delusional switching." Delusional switching can worsen over time, especially in those patients with schizophrenia, dementia, or other psychotic or neurological conditions

Taco Trump: “I have decided to replace the 20% United States reimbursement fee with Trade and Investment deals that the various Gulf states will be making into the United States.” The trade and investment deal has just as much a chance of happening as the 20% reimbursement fee.
