“To paraphrase Thomas Hobbes, Trump’s speech was nasty, brutish, but, mercifully, short. Apparently it was short because the networks told him that they would only give him 15 minutes (although they didn’t cut away when he went over). It was a blizzard of lies.”

Well, let’s see…

Forcing the longest government shutdown in history, while making it VERY clear that the reason was the subsidies. Gosh, I guess that doesn’t count.

These days, if you don’t have a violent mob storm the Capitol Building, you don’t REALLY support your cause.

The most recent episode (3 days ago) showed Bart in his teens.

Of course, that's not permanent. He'll be back to abnormal in the next episode.

“I’d expect to hear something like this from a drunk guy at a bar, not the President of the United States. Can the president be presidential?”

“Crude is on the crazy spectrum. Crazy is being defined down before our eyes. Trump is in a spitball lather, damp, mushy projectiles splushing in every direction.”

The real-world evidence so far is that Reiner was killed by his own son, after a non-political family argument.

Of course, in a clash in Trump's minde between real-world evidence and Trump's ego, the real-world evidence hasn't got a chance.

So Trump agrees that the recent wave of political assassinations have been done mostly by right-wingers.
