A very funny & pithy Colbert/Late Show Thursday Night.
Late Show: Musk Cancels Don Lemon; TrumpVirus Foibles of the Day; Paul Simon
Here is the whole show, but it's the first few minutes that are the news focus. Ka-boom, Elon Musk.
And then... A funny and quite lnteresting monologue, and then... Paul Simon. Philosophizing and performing a psalm.Great Show.
Speaking of historically accurate #fascism and how to bring it about... Welcome to the new Trump® RNC #cult of believers:
Top NAACP Boss Warns of “Nazism Part Two” if Trump Is Elected
“It’s not about candidate A versus candidate B. It’s not about this political party versus that political party. It’s about whether or not we have a #democracy or we have #fascism. Period. Full stop”
#GQP #RNC #GOP #TrumpVirus #cult of #disinformation, #denial, #distortion, & #evil
Meanwhile..... #TrumpVirus rolls on after clearing the air of any 'outside' (i.e., sane/woke/non-corrupt) #GQP vestiges....
Bloodbath at RNC: Trump team slashes staff at committee
Dozens of staffers are expected to be let go.
Bye bye #RNC / #GOP / #RepublicanParty / #democracy
Textbook illustration of Freud's 'primitive defenses' - #projection and #denial
Along with various other #psychopathology issues with #cognitive processing, empathy, reasoning... vs. say, fixed delusions.
This is how #TrumpVirus rolls... w/#GQP #cult in tow, and a lot of #media bubble sustaining the flow of alternative #truth
Fox News Says Biden's on Drugs as Trump White House Drug Scandal Grows: A Closer Look
Meanwhile.... (Brrr! Sounds like a hurricane outside the wind..... Well, March... 'In like a lion, out like a lamb' 🤞
A SOTU review and interesting* take, from the GQP majority whip, on Ukraine aid.
* But not cause for great optimism; it's all down to cult belief in #TrumpVirus and #MagaMike)
(un-paywalled, tnx WAPO)
Just caught this civil penalties expert explaining to the MSNBC host how the #TrumpVirus bond thing works.
Drumpf does not have to post the entire bond amount, but the bond company, the guarantor, will ask for 5% up front, cash.
(a paltry 4,650,000.00 in the $93M suit). It is unclear who eats the money if Donald loses and stiffs the bondholder, who must pay.
And then there's the $355 Million....
Trump’s $355 Million Penalty: New York Lawyer Explains Civil-Fraud Ruling
Anyway, this was in the larger context of 1) Biden is 'woke' 2) RNC is 'broke' 3) Donny's playing with a dictator and mocking the party
Well, there's still hope with the Crown Prince Elon of #Muskville (maybe)
Trump's scramble to pay off legal costs could set off existing loan defaults: analyst
Adding to Donald Trump's cash crunch woes as he scrambles to find cash to cover the half billion dollars he owes in civil damages is the specter of throwing his existing loans into default.
Jen Psaki:
"For those sweating Biden’s age and whether he is up to the job... What do you think about this?"
To borrow a phrase (from literature this time, as opposed to Mein Kampf).... "My beautiful mind".
He's so #cognitive. A stable genius. ("Neigh!" - say the residents of the stable 🐴)

Here's all you need to know, with laughs & sighs.
100-proof #truthiness - and #truth - from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Monday night.
SCOTUS Keeps Trump On The Ballot | Trump’s Brain Is Broken | Speed & Xanax Abuse In Trump’s WH
Thin-sliced: Broken Brains, #TrumpVirus, #SCOTUS & the #GQP #cult - plus Dante's inferno of sin and hedonism, AKA #Trump
Plus the drug-fest which was the #DJT (& Jr) White House by Rx. And those nasty #BrainSpurs messing up a map discussion.
Finger on the pulse of a stimulating day! (Even a bit about Trump's failure at speech and reaction to Putin).
Only Fellini could make this up!
What's up, doc? Surprise, surprise...
Trump’s White House Was ‘Awash in Speed’ — and Xanax
Under Trump, the White House Medical Unit was “like the Wild West,” and staffers had easy access to powerful stimulants and sedatives, sources tell Rolling Stone
Sadly, a lone voice amid the SCOTUS stories, a glimmer of hope... A dose of hope from Neil Katyal.
"Jack Smith and Judge Chutkan have a tool to get around the Supreme Court's delay: expert"
Guess I’ll tune in to MSNBC for a dose of hope from Neil Katyal. Tick tick tick… #truth awaits… nail-bite, nail-bite…
#SCOTUS / #TrumpVirus
vs. #justice, #law, #accountability
Just as it's been looking like the pendulum may be swinging back towards #truth, #democracy, and #justice....
The Court of #TrumpVirus and protectors of the Ginni/MAGA cult... intervened to do their favorite President a favor...
As Jack Smith is put on hold, if not notice. 💅 (Can't find a nail-biting emoji...). 👿 vs ⚖️ #justice and #democracy
US Supreme Court to decide Trump criminal immunity claim in 2020 election case

What a surprise!!
Biographer: Melania Trump Trawls the Internet Looking for Coverage of Herself
Birds of a feather? Narcissism & a perfect coupling?
It is well known that Donald Trump is obsessed with the way he is covered in the news. It is common to see the former President respond almost in real-time to slights both real and imagined.
Biographer: Melania Trump Trawls the Internet Looking for Coverage of Herself [VIDEO]
What a surprise!
Melania Trump is much quieter on her social media, but apparently, she has habits similar to her husband's. During a recent interview, biographer Katie Rogers says the former First Lady is often on the lookout for positive coverage.
Meanwhile....
Trump pays $392k in legal fees to New York Times after failed lawsuit over disclosure of his tax documents
A nice start, maybe, with digging in for pocket change before the real pay-outs come due (in the next few weeks).
Interesting..... (but somehow not surprising)
Did Smirnov's Lawyer Try to Help Him Flee the US?
"Russia, are you (still) listening?" - #TrumpVirus / #GQP cult of #sedition, #treason, #disinformation and anti-Americanism
Heidi Li Feldman, law professor and philosopher, strongly suggests reading and sharing. In this case, I shall comply...
This has to be read and shared. We are under threat from a vengeful, racist, misogynist, xenophobic, lying, defrauding would-be dictator with a major cult following. No hyperbole, just realism.
