in the “lock her up is just another bullcrap lie” category –trumpler’s crooked justice department investigation into the Clinton’s, after two years of tax payer dollars, found ZERO, ZIP, NADA. Absolutely no evidence of any wrongdoing by either Bill, Hillary, or the Clinton Foundation. Unlike the trumpler foundation that was fined and closed down for fraud. Interesting how the trumplicans always seem to accuse the dems of baseless crimes that they themselves are guilty of.
In the AG Barr is a goombahl, category: Adding to the notion the the trumpler justice department is bullcrap, 24,000 members of the New York City Bar association have called for a probe of AG Barr’s “troubling pattern of conduct.” The statement claims that Barr’s “recent actions and statements position” him and “by extension, the United States Department of Justice, as political partisans willing to use the levers of government to empower certain groups over others. The “troubing pattern of conduct … threatens public confidence in the fair and impartial administration of justice,” the letter said. His conduct is “inconsistent with the role of the Attorney General in our legal and constitutional system.”
Trumpler was right about one thing… the system and the elections are rigged… but in his favor not America’s.

“Various members of the media said that the plane had been caught in the “crossfire” between Iran and the US. Canadian media personalities called it an “unintended consequence” of Trump’s actions. Seth Abramson, never willing to a lose a Who’s The Biggest Hack contest, pointed the finger at both Trump and Sean Hannity, suggesting that the Iranian government may have been spooked by the cable news host’s broadcast on the night of the missile launch, prompting them to shoot down a plane in panic.”

There’s no standard.”
“Perhaps AOC would be happier leaving for another party that let her set the standards.”
“It’s normal for Democrats to disagree with other Democrats on certain issues. But the most-left members of the caucus often engage in the narcissism of small differences, building hostility toward Democrats holding views that diverge in minor ways.“

Typical example of narcissism from Trump just today:
During his rally in Ohio this Thursday, President Trump suggested to his audience that the recent Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed should have gone to him.
“I made a deal, I saved a country, and I just heard that the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country. I said, ‘What, did I have something do with it?’” Trump said. “Yeah. But that’s the way it is. As long as we know, that’s all that matters.”

Definition of narcissism from the Mayo Clinic. Gregory doesn’t have a problem with our President having this personality disorder.
“Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that’s vulnerable to the slightest criticism.”
