Trump still has no idea that seeking political asylum is NOT the same as belonging in an insane asylum.

Has anyone even tried to explain the different meanings of asylum to Trump?

"One of the biggest beneficiaries of this favorable treatment is Bayer. #AOC caught Zeldin in a lie when he claimed he never met with #Bayer officials to discuss the new #policy...

… She asked Zeldin if he ever met with Bayer about their #legal issues on glyphosate: “No, I never did.” AOC then... showed that Zeldin met with the Bayer CEO to discussion upcoming “legal/judicial issues.” Zeldin then began stuttering and stammering...

"Democratic candidates need to decide what they stand for and then actively campaign on those beliefs, rather than letting public polling moderate or change their “beliefs” every time the wind blows a different direction.

Politicians whose messaging follows every fickle public opinion change are demonstrating their lack of leadership, even as they campaign to be elected into leadership roles."

"I think they may be helping, but I don't think much."
- Donald Trump

It is obvious that he doesn't think much. It is surprising that he is willing to openly state that he doesn't think much.

"What we have been told, by one of the most articulate apologists the #Republican coalition has produced, on a podcast with three million listeners, is this.

We have been told that this class agrees with the liberal critics of #Trump on every factual claim about Trump’s character, conduct, and intentions. We have been told that they will vote for him anyway."

"A constitutional crisis is not a #policy preference. A wannabe #dictator is not a #tariff schedule. The reframing of #Jan6 as a day of love is not on the same ledger as the marginal tax rate. To treat them as if they are, to price them in, to bundle them — this is the cognitive operation that produces the #German conservative intellectuals who voted for #Hitler in 1933... It is the move... that has been recognized as a move that should never be made again"

"He is a lunatic because he has constructed an accounting framework in which constitutional vandalism is a line item to be weighed against tax policy, in which an attempted coup is comparable to a trade deficit w/ Ethiopia, in which the mockery of a widow’s forgiveness at her husband’s memorial service is priced in alongside questions of whether the Dept of Education should exist. The categories he is putting on the same ledger are not the same kind of category."

"This is not a political #philosophy. This is a one-way ratchet. And the ratchet has a name. It is what #authoritarian movements have always required from their apologist class, in every country where they have come to power: a class of articulate people who concede every factual point about the authoritarian, who acknowledge his crimes, who profess discomfort w/ his methods, & who continue to vote for him anyway because the alternative is the left."
