ICE officers stopped by our farm yesterday.
“We need to inspect your property for illegal aliens,” one of them said.
I replied, “Alright, but whatever you do, don’t go into that field over there.”
The officer in charge exploded.
“Mister, I have the authority of the federal government behind me!” he barked, reaching into his back pocket. He yanked out a badge and shoved it in my face. “See this fucking badge? This badge means I can go wherever I want on ANY land. No questions asked, no answers given. Am I clear? Do you understand?”
I nodded politely and said, “Be my guest.” Then I went back to my chores.
About ten minutes later, I heard screaming.
I looked up and saw six ICE agents running for their lives, being chased by my big, mean, old bull.
And with every step, that bull was closing in fast.
It looked like they were about to get gored for sure.
So I dropped my tools, ran over to the fence, and shouted at the top of my lungs:
“YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR FUCKING BADGE!”
Lawrence O’Donnell quotes the scathing takedown of Trump in the NY Daily News: “It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise. It lies, steals, extorts, and murders — all while cloaked in the awesome authority of the state. It is on a crime spree that puts Al Capone to shame.”
CONGRATULATIONS TO DONALD ON FINALLY RECEIVING AN HONOR HE'S EARNED: "THE EPSTEIN LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD." A BIG BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT AT THE NATIONAL MALL. HE DID NOT GET OBAMA'S CROWDS, HE DID NOT GET OBAMA'S LOVE, HE DID NOT GET OBAMA'S HANDS. BUT HE GOT A BIGGER MONUMENT.
Donald Trump says the affordability crisis is "a con job."
Really?
Americans can't afford their rent. They can't afford to see a doctor. They can't afford to feed their children.
The real con job is thinking working people will believe that lie while they struggle to survive.
Yesterday evening, Trump had a hypomanic episode borne of narcissistic rage. He made post after post after post. Short posts. Reposts. Hundreds of them. His gut was a simmering stew of agitation and desperation. His malignant pathologies rule him, projecting his malice outwardly.
What drives that malice, is fear. Fear of losing. Fear of being unable to influence the narrative. Fear of constraint. Fear of losing his self-concocted aura of grandiosity. Fear of exposure of a lifetime of secrets and lies. Paranoid rear. Parasitic fear. Fear of humiliation.
By any objective psychological or pathological standard, he's ill. But he has NEW fears now beyond pathology - losing his physical health, and his acuity. He hates himself for it; for showing limitations.
Neither you nor I can EVER feel the kind of desperation and rage Trump feels now. Because you and I are members of society and all its relationships and interactions, and we boast a full emotional spectrum. Not Trump. He is the entirety of his universe. He doesn't partake in events; he profits from transactions. He doesn't interact with others, he lords over others as if they were objects.
This is a man now terrified that all that he is, and all that he ever said he was - his entire lifetime of false constructs - is crumbling into the ash of a fake myth.
This is a rage-filled malignant narcissist -- in deep decline.
All please respond to this tweet by replying with an appropriate adjective, adjectival phrase, simile, or metaphor describing just how moronic @realDonaldTrump is for saying (not for the first time) what he says in this clip.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
