Think about this: If the tweet (all 140 characters) is spelled correctly, we quickly know...

that it simply could not have come from the sitting president of the United States.

We grow numb to the fact of how very far that creature has brought us down.

TRUMP STOLE THE "STABLE GENIUS" TERM! And in context, it really did imply "HUMAN MORON"!

I knew I’d heard the term before!

It’s in a quote from Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers, 1959.

(By the way, although I remember it, I personally didn’t care for the book. I love dogs, though, and that’s why the line stuck. It also bothers me that, if you think about it, the quote is rather insulting to dogs.)

"...a neodog is not a talking dog; he is not a dog at all, he is an artificially mutated symbiote derived from dog stock. A neo, a trained Caleb, is about six times as bright as a dog, say about as intelligent as a human moron — except that the comparison is not fair to the neo; a moron is a defective, whereas a neo is a stable genius in his own line of work."

So Trump, not being a “neo,” but rather a human, would be characterized as a “human moron” and “a defective”. That fits.

Seriously, isn't Trump in Asia a good time to spring the 25th amendment?

When cabinet members who join him on the trip suddenly disappear, he should worry.

Profiles in courage

How is it even possible that the worst person I know of is POTUS?

What are the odds?

Not the worst famous person, or the worst possible person for the job...

Trump is the worst person I know of, period.

And he has this position. It cannot possibly end well.

Have there been worse people in history? The odds certainly say there must have been, and many have committed worse individual acts than he's managed thus far.

I almost wonder, though, if anyone in a position of real power has ever had such a conglomeration of terrible traits. Some of the usual suspects may have just had a few of those traits to great excess, overpowering their sense of humor or the fact that they loved dogs.

Of course, you can't make this stuff up. It would, in fact, probably make for bad fiction. I wish we could see it from the vantage point of a future age when history can put it into a more proper context. Or, for that matter, that we could all see it from a distance as it recedes into the past.

That will happen at some point, right?

As a mark of respect: how do you correctly pronounce Heather Heyer's last name?

Thank you

"...but Charlottesville sad!" Could someone please compile what else he's tweeted out as "sad"?

I can't. I just can't make myself look back through those thousand nightmares, but maybe someone out there has a handy algorithm to do so without having to burn out their mind? Thanks.

The most mentally ill aspect of Trump's constant projection: "They're laughing at you!"

While most of us aren't psychiatrists, doesn't his constant harping on who might be laughing at whom just give you an easy window into his "mind"?

He's a deeply, darkly insecure person who's constantly worrying that the world is seeing through his facade.

And yes, Donald, we ARE laughing at you, often, and for many of the very things you fear we can see. You make it too easy.

"There is no question that Kushner will not answer"

Read with the proper inflection, that's (accidentally) completely true

Remember that happy time when He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was Voldemort?
