In a 30-minute interview, President Trump made 24 false or misleading claims
Quote:
“Virtually every Democrat has said there is no collusion. There is no collusion. . . . I saw Dianne Feinstein the other day on television saying there is no collusion.”
Quote:
“I think it’s been proven that there is no collusion.”
Quote:
“There was collusion with the Russians and the Democrats. A lot of collusion. . . . Starting with the dossier. But going into so many other elements. And Podesta’s firm.”v
Quote:
“There was tremendous collusion on behalf of the Russians and the Democrats. There was no collusion with respect to my campaign.”
Quote:
“There is tremendous collusion with the Russians and with the Democratic Party. Including all of the stuff with the — and then whatever happened to the Pakistani guy, that had the two, you know, whatever happened to this Pakistani guy who worked with the DNC?”
Can we say that Trump is now obsessed with the word collusion?

The Witch Hunt:
Quote:
Steve Bannon’s eyes lit up. Several months before he left his job as a senior White House adviser last August, Bannon was talking to President Trump about the brewing political storm over the Justice Department investigation into his campaign’s alleged ties to the Kremlin. Suddenly, Trump had an inspiration. He looked straight at Bannon, jabbed at him with his finger and uttered the phrase that would become the slogan of the White House pushback against the Russia probe: “Witch hunt!”

Brilliant, thought Bannon, as he later related the exchange to colleagues.

Ever since, it is a phrase Trump has returned to time and again — and repackaged with typical Trumpian hyperbole. “This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!” Trump tweeted last May after ex-FBI director Robert Mueller was appointed as Justice Department special counsel to oversee the probe.

But now, as Trump prepares to end his first year in office, the witch hunt narrative may have outlived its usefulness.

It's amazing, but people are very imperfectly rational. If they are bonded to a leader, it would require large, painful mental effort to break those bonds. It is much easier, and naturally preferred, to discount criticisms as dishonest attacks by the leader's evil enemies. Only some find a way in time to escape the follower/leader relationship. For others, the bond persists literally no matter what.

There are still some Stalinists in Russia.

Maybe Donny can get all his zombies to drink the special Kool-Aid when he’s led away to the Pen. Would sure solve a lot of problems with this country.

Trump forced to work with a Democratic Congress is preferable to Ayatollah Pence.
Dotard even joked once that Pence wants to hang all the gay people.

'Slow federal response in Puerto Rico is causing urgent shortage of IV bags'

"Ben Boyer, by his own admission, usually restricts his tweeting to " dumb stuff" or " juvenile pictures of signs." Occasionally, there's a picture of his three-year-old daughter. But on December 28, the San Diego man's tweets got serious. "My wife's nurse had to stand for 30 mins & administer a drug slowly through a syringe because there are almost no IV bags in the continental U.S. anymore. See, they were all manufactured in a Puerto Rican factory which still isn't fixed," he wrote. "Meanwhile that stupid swollen prick golfs," he added."

Lovely, eh?

Nice turn of phrase the guy had there....

By telling so many lies, and so many that are mean-spirited, Trump is violating some of the most fundamental norms of human social interaction and human decency.
