The Trump playbook? Fail miserably and find a scapegoat.

– Algae bloom in the Reflecting Pool caused by his renovations? Vandals did it!
– Gas prices spike due to his war? Oil company price gouging!
– Interest rates remain high due to inflation caused by his tariffs and war? Jerome Powell's fault!
– Bungle the COVID response? Fauci did it!
– Incite an insurrection? It was the deep state in the FBI! Or ANTIFA! BLM!
– Immigration enforcement failures? Radical activist judges did it!
– Economy slowing or recession fears? It’s Biden’s economy!

Coming soon:
– Lose the midterms due to historic unpopularity? It's the RINOs fault for not passing the SAVE Act!

There was a rule when I was in Trump's first term: if a memo had a staple in it, it was too long for him to read.

Life-or-death decisions were cut to one page. Or a half-page. Or less. Bold fonts. BIG pictures.

When you’re wondering why everything’s a mess, remember that.

Former President Barack Obama finally acknowledged Trump's bizarre, creepy obsession with him during an appearance on ALL THE SMOKE with Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson today.

One of the hosts pointed out that the "leader of this current administration is still very fascinated" with President Obama and his family, despite the fact he's been "out of office [for] nearly 10 years now."

"Look, you gotta ask him what it is — the obsession ... I obviously, you know, have a room in his head —," Obama began.

"Rent free," one of the hosts cut in.

"A suite in his head," Obama agreed. "But the thing about it is that was always clear to me. Look, first of all, when I was president, the last thing I had time to do was worry about what somebody said, somebody said, or what my predecessor did, they're gone."

"I got work to do," Obama continued. "It's hard to describe how, if you're doing the job right every day, you got five, ten things that feel hard, and you have to be constantly focused. The idea that I'd be worrying about came before somebody who came before, and me trying to measure, you know, like what's he done today.

"Look, constantly worrying about that is a strange thing to me. It shows me somebody who's not focused on the American people and the job they're supposed to do," he added.

This is what real leadership looks like — calm, unruffled, and unconcerned with petty grudges.

Hey MAGA, just a few quick questions...

Imagine a country where you can get a 10 year prison sentence for removing peeling paint from a pool…

And receive no prison sentence for raping a child.

Welcome to America.

Trump will release the video evidence of vandals cutting a 350 ft gash in the Reflecting Pool lining when he releases the Epstein files, and proof that the 2020 election was stolen, and evidence that the ICE agents who killed Americans acted in self defense, and

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

Hayes: Am I right that you were detained for five hours during after this arrest?

Hearn: Yes. I was in the lockup. I was photographed and they put me back in, fingerprinted, put me back in, and I had not been able to allow to make a phone call. No, nobody really knew I was there. I was held incommunicado that whole time, was never read my rights.

Worthy message. The Democratic Party’s greatest strength is its diversity, because it encompasses America’s origin and much of its original aim. It is also its greatest weakness. The number of factions within is too many to appeal to all at once. That’s the rub. Republicans can just scream about three or four different topics (money, immigrants, religion) and the majority of the base is mollified. The Democrats have a bigger challenge.

If you steal a paint chip it's 10 years in prison but take what you want from our Capitol, that's worth a pardon.

A brutal reality.

If only if Trump cared as much about the real bad guys.

One system moves fast. The other never gets moving.
