Hi friend. 1) Chucklehead is an amazing insult. Underused. 2) I cover politics in Colorado so I'm unlikely to investigate a candidate in Michigan

Stephen Miller went on Hannity last night and accused Democrats of wanting to seize private industry and hand it to the government. The Trump administration currently holds equity stakes or governance rights in at least ten companies, Intel, IBM, US Steel, MP Materials, and others, at a scale researchers at CSIS and the Cato Institute both describe as unprecedented outside of wartime or economic crisis. Not a hypothetical. Not a scary campaign ad. An actual, ongoing federal ownership stake in the chipmaker that makes your phone's processor.

He said Democrats want to abolish the Constitution. This is the same administration that tried to end birthright citizenship, a right written into the 14th Amendment, through executive order, and got struck down by the Supreme Court for it. The same administration whose Department of Homeland Security has instructed agents to enter homes without warrants, a direct Fourth Amendment violation. The same administration that has tried to suspend the constitutional right to habeas corpus for people it wants to deport without a hearing.

He said Democrats want to abolish the jury system. His own Justice Department just had criminal charges thrown out because of grand jury misconduct so severe a judge couldn't let it stand.

And he said all this after bypassing Congress two hundred seventy separate times through executive order since Trump took office, according to Ballotpedia's own count, while accusing the other party of wanting to abolish the Senate.

This is a man who has never held a job outside government payroll accusing the opposition of wanting to nationalize industry, days after his own boss nationalized part of Intel. Hannity laughed and called it priceless. That's the tell. Nobody on that set actually believed a word of it. They just liked how it sounded.

Trump is many things, but first and foremost, he's a grifter. He's been one his entire life, long before he entered politics.
After he squandered his inheritance, his grifts began to fall flat and he failed - over and over - and was bankrupt; he got rescued by The Apprentice and the fictional success and persona that Mark Burnett created.
As he entered politics, he realized - grifter that he is - that he could capitalize on the fictional character from The Apprentice that had built him his following, by further amassing a fearful angry following of people who felt disenfranchised. He learned to turn their deep-seated fears into grievances and told them who to blame for it. He learned he could pose as one of them, even though he's the farthest thing from them.
He became a carnival-style conman, peddling rudimentary and unmistakable frauds to a larger and larger audience of followers - who - quite frankly - disgust him. For years he's peddled his frauds to them, feeding them heaping helpings of bullshit, and for their part, the dopamine rush overpowered reasoned thought; some looked askance at the bullshit he was feeding them, but a good number of them asked for bigger spoons.
But a conman has to remain true to his con, and Trump can no longer muster that as well; he's unable to be true to anything beyond himself, and he now tells people openly that he doesn't care about them.
And a conman has to protect his myth, and Trump's secrets, lies, and frequent humiliations are showing.
And a conman also has to be able to convey a thought coherently, and he is ill and medicated, and puffy and lumpy and he doesn't come off well.
And finally, a conman has to give his marks something to encourage their continued support, and Trump is losing even this ability because he hates everyone, malice seethes inside him, and he hates most of all that he's approaching his final chapter, and he's too preoccupied with power to give a damn for his people - or any people.
This is a malignant narcissist in decline. It behooves us to take this lesson from history: Malignant narcissists ALWAYS get worse. They NEVER want to go down alone.
This grifter, unable to do anything else competently, and too ill to learn anything new, is returning to his core business - grift. The grift is brazen, and it's at a scale never before seen.
It's the corruption - the grift - that will take him down.

Imagine being Amy Coney Barrett and being the mother of two adopted children from Haiti and having to explain to them why she voted to terminate Temporary Protected Status for roughly 330,000 Haitian Nationals living and working in the United States.

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:

- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%

- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)

- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds

- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)

- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility

- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium

- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains

- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules

- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years

- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years

Ooops, sorry!

That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.
