Orange Cheeto-lini tRump Cannot Brain This Year, or Next Year
Orange Cheeto-lini does not have the capacity.
Of course, that the 45th president of the United States is an idiot is not exactly a new revelation. (Cohn has not publicly commented on any of Woodward’s reporting.) His first secretary of state characterized him as a “moron.” Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, according to Woodward, told close associates that the president “had the understanding of ‘a fifth- or sixth-grader.’ ” Scott Pruitt essentially called him an imbecile “when it comes to things like the Constitution and rule of law.” Former White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh reportedly said working with him was “like trying to figure out what a child wants,” which feels like an insult to children. And of course, someone “purporting to represent the views” of Cohn sent an e-mail in April 2017 describing the president as “an idiot surrounded by clowns.”

Pushback on false claims, results in a walk-back
Hassett, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, admitted that President Trump made an erroneous claim regarding the economy in a Monday tweet. During a press briefing, Hassett was confronted by a reporter who pointed out that Trump’s assertion that the G.D.P. growth rate is higher than the unemployment rate for the first time in over 100 years was “just not true.” Hassett admitted that the claim was incorrect, saying “somebody probably conveyed it to him adding a zero to that and they shouldn’t have done that.” He also said that he didn’t know if a quote Trump attributed to former President Obama, saying that Trump would need a “magic wand” to get the G.D.P. to four percent, was true. “I don’t know. . . I’m not Chairman of the Counsel of Twitter Advisers,” he said.

We are experiencing an unprecedented national attack on empathy.
In D.C., we have the least empathetic human among our 315 million citizens. That trickles down. We’re putting families in detention centers, separating children from their parents, deporting families that have committed no crimes and implicitly supporting hate groups.
Readers are invariably more empathetic people than non-readers because you have occupied the minds and souls of other characters, of other humans.

"I had no idea that he had that weird sociopathic lack of empathy which actually is pretty rare in the world, not to have any of that, not to have an empathetic bone or capillary or cell."

"Be afraid, be very afraid." That was Orange Cheeto-lini's main message.
My own level of fear had lessened, since America had decided that it was not too racist to accept a candidate that was a member of the minority community. The Republican party put a hole in the boat, and deserted the sinking ship like rats. G.W. Bush threw the Captain's hat at President Obama.
2018 is when the poorest people, and the people with the least advantages were finally on solid ground, after G.W. Bush pushed them overboard to drown. With President Obama's help, they boarded a new boat.
Orange Cheeto-lini tried to take credit for President Obama's work. Orange Cheeto-lini has been relentless in his obsession to create holes in the boat he inherited from President Obama. Cheeto-lini is determined to chop the Ship of State in half.
Which leads to the question- What is Cheeto-lini's intent ?
He certainly generates publicity for himself. It has been his life-long practice. His son (?) Barron carries the name of an alt that Cheeto-lini used to impersonate a non-existent publicity agent, that Cheeto-lini did not have, to spreada false rumor about himself, that did not occur.
Cheeto-lini certainly generates headlines that distract from central issues that are important to America.
"Here at the shebeen, we try to ignore the presidential* tweets because they impress us as the ultimate shiny objects distracting from pursuit of the actual crimes and corruption of this administration*. But it's rare to see an act of utter sociopathy in the wild, so we made an exception to this rule on Thursday morning.
It is a maxim among prosecutors that intent follows the bullet. Shoot your gun idly out your window and hit nothing, you get unlawful discharge of a firearm. Shoot your gun idly out your window and accidentally into a busload of nuns, killing one of them, and you go up for some sort of manslaughter.
Well, in circumstances like this, intent follows the negligence. Yes, some people probably did die of old age in Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, but they most likely died of old age because they were old and couldn't get food, or water, or electricity. Intent follows the incompetence. And to dragoon the dead into your own conspiratorial self-pity and paranoia is particularly indecent, even for this president*, who has made indecency into a kind of madman's art project.

President Trump took a four-day golf vacation in its immediate aftermath.

Honey Badger does not give a fuck. Until someone traps Honey Badger in an unbreakable cage. Then, we will hear about hysterics, temper tantrums, placing blame on others, and the whine, moan, and whinge. Victim claims. Claims of betrayal, and rants against traitors to his Royal We.
