    "Flood the zone" working exactly as intended.

    Horrible behaviour, yet his supporters still support him.

      I think it's just a small segment of terminally online people that are still hardcore supporters. Shamelessly killing an American citizen in retaliation for protesting and overtly alienating our long-time allies means it takes a much stronger firehose of rationalizations to keep fooling yourself that these things are about "immigration enforcement" or "national security". My direct observation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46642922

      Not that I expect the latent supporters to ever really own up to their mistake (I mean, who even supported that Iraq War anyway? Must have been some liberal conspiracy). And of course the main question is still how do we actually immobilize and evict this piece of shit from the White House.

    The question on what to do about Trump is now a global concern. I can't help think that he behaves like Cartman from South Park. How did Stan and the rest of the boys deal with him?

      I analogize him to a wildfire: a statistical inevitability, tragic, causing broad and profound destruction and suffering, difficult to control after blazing up, will eventually run out of fuel, will eventually be a source of renewal.

      What we need to be talking about are the additional amendments to the Constitution that are clearly necessary to ameliorate the current mess (e.g., fixing current Congress, fixing current Judiciary, electoral college, two-party system, Executive's ability to act without first getting permission, self-dealing, cancerous growth of federal over state power, etc.), and how to get them passed. I have a feeling that either we amend or the country fails and/or we end up in a second civil war.

      Also, "Goddam, Cartman, that is one fat a$$!"

    It's all to distract attention from Epstein. Do you remember Epstein?

    As the Epstein Event Horizon approaches, expect even crazier stunts. Heaven help the planet.
