      Honestly, compared to all the dozens of other crimes he’s committed this time around, I’d give him a pass on Iran and nail him something else, he still should and could be impeached if the GOP could grow some balls.

      The dying flailings of neoliberalism, but also yes.

      Like the left during the rise of the Nazis the movement is disorganized and divided, having counted on the support of the “moral” centrists who simply don’t exist.

    I’m not sure what is worse - when he goes ALL-CAPS/CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL, or when he has the Random Capitalization of words For no Apparent reason.

      UTIs (urinary tract infections) really fuck with people experiencing dementia. Sometimes the way a person acts under a UTI is the first sign of such cognitive decline. They’ll be fine one day, but when infection sets in it’s like they become another person.

      However, that’s for people who ordinarily have self-control. For Trump, it’s anyone’s guess.

      It’ll take another decade for some of you to realize Bernie and AOC are just as ineffective and just as much part of the neo-lib machine that keeps us going further right.

      AOC isn’t saving us, she just gives you the illusion someone is fighting for you. She’s allowed to vent on your behalf.

            Oh shit. You mean both parties are equally bad in all respects? Neither has even a slight lead in not being awful? Grow the fuck up. If you can’t tell which is worse, I’m fucking sorry you’re a lost cause. Goddamn…

              It’s puritanism, plain and simple. If you can’t make things perfect, you’re not allowed to make them better, either. It’s just one of the many attitudes that all but guarantees we’re going to keep slip-and-sliding to the right.

    You know, these headlines do tend to exaggerate and call any outburst a rant or meltdown. But Jesus Christ, that is indeed a completely mental meltdown over a relatively ordinary political statement. And I like how Omar’s country is definitively rated the worst in the world, but…maybe it’s not rated the worst in the world.

    How many times has he “completely lost it” recently? He’s always been insane. Insanely stupid in fact. Nothing new here.

    Yet, when we read the headlines, every few days or weeks, he “completely loses it”.

    If he were throwing grass in the air, eat dirt, or speak in tongues, maybe it would be worth the completely lost it title. Otherwise, it gets old after a few times.

      That really irks me is we basically have two styles of headlines right now.

      The newer sites like Rawstory, Mediaite, New Republic, Daily Beast, and Meidas Touch all use this bullshit style of headline writing.

      Meanwhile the traditional media sane washes the man and is equally disconnected from reality, but in the other direction.

      I’m also very sick of the clickbait titles. But in the case, he did actually lose it… I was doubled over laughing, the whole sequence is amazing

      It’s hyperbolic, as headlines always are.

      Trump “completely loses it” all the time because he seems to have complete undying loyalty from everyone around him. There are no negative consequences for these outbursts.

    Why does the president keep bragging about his passing of dementia tests‽ How can he not understand that that is admitting to needing them?

          This is the guy that probably actually believes the BS height/weight that he got some doctor to issue, LOL. Surprised he has not had a doctor tell everyone that he has a 14 inch dong, too. In any case, he’d probably believe that, too. :)

      He basically already has:

        In a sane country, he would be immediately removed from office, or at the very least there’d be a recount
