President 'Good Brain' is stuck on a 'grotesque feedback loop'.

[mia]

His deranged enablers and supporters encourage his behavior. Why?

...Wednesday is shaping up to be another day where the President of the United States goes completely intergalactic and everyone just pretends this is normal. This is all fairly standard-issue at this point: maybe the world's most powerful man rants and raves to a scrum of reporters during ChopperTalk, stalking around the group as his face glows tomato-red even as it's backlit. Or maybe he declares that, "Nobody disobeys my orders," during the White House Easter Egg Roll. Or a high-profile magazine columnist accuses the president of having raped her, he responds that "she's not my type," and the elite political media and Democrats in the Senate just shrug. Or he orders an act of war against Iran—with unexplained legal authority—and then exposes himself in his own self-aggrandizing account of how he called the whole thing off. Ah, those last two are just from the past week.

But by 8:45 a.m. this fine June Wednesday, the president had already had a doozy. He roused himself from what was surely an uneasy slumber this morning and began to tweet. It was likely uneasy because House Democrats confirmed Tuesday night that ex-Special Counsel Robert Mueller will testify before the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees next month. Also Tuesday night, a federal judge ruled Democrats can collect financial evidence on Trump's businesses as part of a lawsuit alleging he is in violation of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause. All this elicited a Very Presidential Wakeup Tweet.

...This is one side of the sprawling infrastructure of Imperial Clothiers. These folks speak to the president through the teevee and tell him he's doing a great job, and all his problems are the fault of The Fake News Media or The Deep State or The Open-Borders Democrats, and that all the Real Americans support him. Then he calls up the teevee people and rants to them about what a great job he's doing, and how this person or that person is causing all his problems, and how great it is to have the support of Real America.

And the rest of our national media watches this grotesque feedback loop of deranged propagandistic bullshit with polite silence, waiting to ask their questions about whether the president might still bomb Iran, or whatever. Because there's nothing worse than admitting this isn't just Not Normal—we're witnessing the rapid decay, and possible collapse, of American constitutional government. And we're watching it on the goddamn Fox Business Network.

1. ...

I called it.

When the last trigger flips his inner switches to "FULL ON CRAY-CRAY" mode...he will be taken from the WH by both Ambulance and Armed SS, in full on King George mode...foaming at the mouth and screaming intelligible words, turning purple and orange in a beautiful display of psychosis...

4. No he won't.

He'll continue on, just like this, until he's dead. Tweeting and bullshitting to anyone that listens.

After he's out of office (1/20/2021), Bartiromo won't take his calls. No one will, not even Ivanka.

3. Why does anyone pay attention to this guy?

Granted, he's the pResident, but I wouldn't call him the most powerful person on earth. Clearly, that's Sean Insanity. IQ45 simply rants incoherently every time he opens his mouth, so what's the point? I simply turn him off. I've not actual heard the man's voice in months and I'm all the better for it.
