When I look at Trump, especially in court, where he vacillates between grunting, interfering, and losing consciousness, I see every one of the 4 components of malignant narcissism - is screaming. His narcissism screams from being pummeled and chastised and made fun of and nobody…

I’ve represented thousands of defendants in multiple jurisdictions—in cases ranging from pot possession to first-degree murder—and I can’t imagine what Trump’s attorneys are dealing with. His fans may not understand that he’s deeply mentally ill, but I promise you his lawyers…

The Shallow State He knows nothing and does not know he knows nothing.

He is not au fait with any of the country's history; forget world history. He is vacant.

As we all know, Trump's oratory skills have degenerated. His narrative was always choppy and ranting. But it's now added the fun feature of dementia-laden gibberish. And I think we've probably heard his last full sentence.
The gaffes, however frequent, will not by themselves…

Malignant Normality

(1/4) With all the MAGAs being triggered, defensive, and defiant today over the upcoming criminal trial (and boy, are they ever) - it's a good day to speak to MALIGNANT NORMALITY. Psychologist Robert Jay Lifton coined the phrase: a degenerative…

RFK Jr. is a right-wing nut. Calling him insane is probably putting it too mildly. And what kinds of people does MAGA typically put up for elections? People like him. People who recklessly spread conspiracies. People who embrace hate. People like their orange messiah.

Wow. Mark Cuban calls out another billionaire for attacking President Biden for forgiving student loans for millions who need it. Mark Cuban is an absolute national treasure & icon & we need more people like him. Thank you, Mark Cuban.

The very same “I stand with Israel” posting Republicans currently blaming Biden for the Iranian attack on Israel, have spent months blocking the national security package intended to provide critical military aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

“Defendant appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality. In just the past 12 months, Defendant has very publicly been involved in a multitude of…

Victor Shi The Republicans used this “live birth abortion” rhetoric for years to help end Roe! No woman carries a baby for 9 months, picks a name, has a baby shower, decorates a nursery, and then decides to abort! If a medical emergency arises then, it’s called a c-section! 😩😡

Bravo, Jake Tapper for setting the record straight on CNN, asking Republican Gov. Sununu, “What is this 9 month abortion claim? I've never heard of anyone getting an abortion one day before they're due. Republicans always say that. I've never heard of it happening.” Exactly.

When Donald Trump ripped away Roe v. Wade, he ripped away a fundamental right granted to you as an American—it didn’t matter where you lived.

If you give me and Vice President Harris a Democratic Congress, we will ensure the fundamental right to choose for women will be…

The Shallow State His desperation is showing…very telling

Trump just posted a video repeating why a President needs absolute immunity. This, IMO, is his Hail Mary to SCOTUS, because, on balance, it's probably his stupidest argument yet. And let's not forget, this is the guy who wanted to rake the forests, nuke the hurricanes, arm our…

We FINALLY have an answer to the question we've been asking trumpers all this time, but they refuse to answer: When was this period that America was so GREAT that you want to go back to, to 'make America great AGAIN?'

It's 1864.

It was a time when Black people were enslaved,…

BREAKING: Republican commentator Megyn Kelly infuriates MAGA world by predicting that Donald Trump will be easily convicted in his hush money criminal trial.

She couldn't have been more blunt...

'Oh, he’s getting convicted. I don’t really think there’s a lot of mystery about…

First they came for women & I didn’t care;
Then they came for the LGBTQIA & I didn’t care;
Then they came for students & I didn’t care;
Then they came for black folk & I didn’t care;
Then they came for me…

Ya see how this works? All of our freedoms are on the line!

Arizona…

Trump is now crossing over to a place where he sees visions of his own demise. A malignant narcissist cannot cope with this. His gut is a simmering stew of rage, dread, and malice. He is very unhinged, yet uncomfortable in the feeling itself, if that makes sense. Freud had a term…

The Shallow State Let November begin the purge in Arizona. AZ SC Justices Bolick and King, who are living in 1864, voted for today’s draconian ban. They are up for reelection in ‘24. Hold them accountable by taking away their gavels. Vote them out.

The Arizona Supreme Court makes a draconian ruling disrespectful to women and their right to choose based on a law written before women even had a right to vote; Kari Lake, Arizona's biggest-ever performative fraud, says she opposes the ruling even though the ruling is totally…
