Well-published author, healthcare wonk, policy wonk. Southwesterner gone AWOL to Blue Yonder. Liberal Forever. Admires Voltaire & Sam Adams. Alas, too near-sighted to become an astronaut. Possessed by felines & hummingbirds.

That's part of his diagnosis. Look up the "Dark Tetrad" to get the full understanding of his illness. He is spiraling, it's going to get worse.

D.C. Shooter was CIA asset and appears to have done exactly what Trump, Miller and Homan would want.

I am angry that none of these other reporters reacts at all. Not a one came to her assistance.
At what point will the press corps, as a chorus, in unison, just shout back, “THATS NOT TRUE”!

What are we doing?
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

What an ass!

There is NO question, Trump DOES NOT honor our military. They are TOOLS for his power coup.

RIP US Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, of Summersville, West Virginia

Heartfelt thoughts for US Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, of Martinsburg, West Virginia, in critical condition following surgery.

Sincerest sympathy to the families.

He just instantly turns it back to himself and his election win in WV! What an utterly selfish, insufferable narcissist.

Not a word of sympathy for her family, no gratitude for her service, just all about him. Such a piggy.

It wouldn’t be to fix him, just to bring him back enough to reality so I could finish the interview. (I actually had this experience with a patient who initially claimed she was born on Venus — it went downhill from there. 2 weeks on Haldol and she was back on planet Earth.)

It wouldn’t fix him but at least he’d shut up.

When I was a 4th year medical student my psych rotation was with a very experienced forensic psychiatrist. If I had to interview Trump he would have stopped me after about 10 minutes saying, “This guy is nuts.” We’ll stick him on Haldol [a major anti-psychotic] and try again 2 weeks.

I have been a doctor for 30 years, and it is difficult to clinically discern where the piece of shit part ends & the frontotemporal dementia begins, so I will go with all of the above.
Apathy, absence of empathy, disinhibition, executive dysfunction, cognitive decline.

Just like the guy that passed out in the Oval Office with Trump standing there like a figure from the Wax Museum, Trump does NOT care about other people. Sad.

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.

“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

She is not the first person to die as a result of Trump's showboating. My sympathies to her family, may she rest in peace. Wishing the other guardsman shot in this horrible incident a better outcome and a speedy recovery. Trump is not a leader, but a drunk driver heading full speed over a cliff.

She was killed based on an illegal order from the Draft Dodger in Chief. Please send the National Guard home. Military leadership is desperately needed now. cc: @democrats-armedservices.house.gov

1. Many Canadians, including me, are questioning Carney’s commitment to #ClimateAction.
2. Max knows what he’s talking about.
3. Yes Carney should be communicating better. He may also be much more focussed on results than looking good. That’s how non-politician experts think.
4. Let’s keep watching.
Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...
