Must read excerpt from Lawrence O'Donnell. Repost everywhere.

[blm]

Lawrence O’Donnell:
“Jeffrey Goldberg’s new report in The Atlantic tells one of the ugliest stories ever told about Donald Trump, and it begins with that ugly confection on the top of Donald Trump’s head that is designed to hide what for Donald Trump is a painful truth. In trying to hide that truth, Donald Trump reveals so very much of who he is. In trying so desperately to hide the truth about how much hair actually grows on Donald Trump’s head, he combs over the spots of his skull that he doesn’t want you to see, and the crown he creates is so absurdly elaborate and obviously fragile that it screams a constant warning of the fragility of the ego that needs to create that ridiculous lie on the top of his head. And when Donald Trump enters, his hair is lying to you before he opens his mouth. Donald Trump’s hair tells you, here is a man who will lie to you and does not care how obvious and ridiculous his lies are. Donald Trump’s hair gives you the shortest shortcut you could ask for in measuring his insecurity. And then he speaks, and tells you how smart he is, so you know he’s wildly insecure about how smart he isn’t, and as he goes on to compliment himself about everything, you know he’s wildly insecure about everything. Everything about Donald Trump is as insecure as the hair he has tortured into position on the top of his head, and we know tonight that hair is more important to Donald Trump than life and death, the life and death of others, the lives and deaths of American soldiers buried in a cemetery in France that Donald Trump refused to visit because it was raining and he worried about the fragility of his hair. The current commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the United States of America was afraid that his hair could not endure raindrops in a place where American soldiers endured so much more, and so many made the ultimate sacrifice.”

2. Perfect

3. Classic insight from a masterful wordsmith.

I just finished watching the entire series of The West Wing. I didn't remember how much Lawrence O'Donnell participated in the series, as script writer and producer (and playing Josiah Bartlet's father) until I watched the entire series again. Lawrence really has a way with words.

[FailureToCommunicate]

49. We are just starting a rewatch of the series. It

always pains to imagine a better President then the one we have. (First Bush, now Trump)

[magicarpet]

4. Doesn't every hyper alpha macho man,...

... go through three large cans of extra hold hair spray and a five gallon bucket of neon orange pancake makeup on a daily basis ?

[Traildogbob]

14. I did not

Realize “Flex Seal” Also made hair dab. No water, no amount of rain drops could penetrate that shit. Like sealing up chicken fence to make a boat.

[VWolf]

22. Here you go:

&t=542s

My favorite parody

[Traildogbob]

39. Oh God!!!

Ya made my day. Thank you. Happy fall and cheers to ya. Put that whole KKKlan family in his tower and Flex Seal em away, out of sight.

[VWolf]

40. My pleasure!

[NewJeffCT]

33. Not to mention

have his steak well done and have Russian hookers give him golden showers...

[lagomorph777]

5. Perfectly stated. I tend to feel pity/embarrassed when I see a man with a combover or colored hair.

Not for Turd though.

[Coventina]

6. I watched that opening last night and it was perfect.

Lawrence is the best!

[dweller]

7. 2 current cartoonist's with the best depictions of fatnixon's hair, imo

are Steve Bell ... golden toilet seat
and Dave Browne .. yellow snarling weasel

neither is hair 🤣

✌🏼

[blm]

8. The one depicting it as top of a lit match at a lectern

In front of bombs with fuses is compelling, too.

[JHB]

26. Both of them UK-based, as well

[2naSalit]

9. Saw that last night, twice.

He's all too correct and we must act accordingly.

[Number9Dream]

47. We too saw it live... laughing and fist pumping at the same time

It was memorable!

[2naSalit]

48. Certainly one of the most righteous rant of the day!

[world wide wally]

10. But Trump is "one of us"

[The Wizard]

11. Before putting on that hair

he should remove the eyes.

[usaf-vet]

52. Ok who does his hair and face every day. I've pretty much wear my hair 1965 boot camp style. I can't

..... see him doing it himself.

Anybody know who?

Oh, my wife is the barber. Haven't paid for a hair cut since early 1965 while still in high school.

[calimary]

55. And here I thought he had extra large shredded wheat biscuits positioned on his head...

That’s actually HAIR?

[usaf-vet]

56. You may have a point.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

12. KR NT

[iluvtennis]

13. Heard him give this as intro to his show on Thursday night - he's spot on!

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

15. Plus let's not forget...

He wears lifts in his shoes. That’s why he leans forward when standing. Probably why he stumbled on the ramp...high heels are a bitch to walk in.

[certainot]

20. and he prob yelled at someone "why didn't you warn me!??"

[Traildogbob]

16. But Nancy

Went to a salon. When McAninny decided to run a loop at presser, why did no one ask the hours of Trump hair design daily.

[Dream Girl]

17. Lawrence is my favorite of the whole MSNBC bunch...he seems to be second tier but to me

He’s the best of the bunch. Smart, prescient, masterful analyst.

[roscoeroscoe]

28. Agreed

He's the best. Love his movie cameos

[OMGWTF]

36. Lawrence O'Donnell's show was going to be cancelled about five (?) years ago

and the pushback was HUGE, so he was kept on. Thank gawd! He and Rachel are the best in the business.

[Dream Girl]

38. Trump was behind it. He hated him and pushed Andy Lack. I believe Rachel refused to go on air until

He was reinstated.

[certainot]

18. i was listening to the hair part then and it was fantastic. can a cartoon contain all that?

[cilla4progress]

19. This was a piece of art to behold

In real time.

Lawrence was holding back tears when introducing Sen. Kerrey and Rep. Moulton for the interview- 2 veterans. Compelling.

[xxqqqzme]

30. I noticed his voice breaking

at one point.


So in addition to his lousy diet and his daily 3/4 case consumption of diet coke, he is also engulfed daily in a cloud of extra hold hair spray (does he wear a mask then?). On rare occasions I will spritz a couple of pumps on my hair. But the fine mist leaves my vanity a little sticky which I hate. Now imagine that daily mist falling on a carpet, the chair back, the surrounding area.

Every day, year after year after year. How much has he inhaled? It's overwhelming.

[cilla4progress]

45. Good observation!

I had to use hair spray back when I waitressed. In truth, probably kept at it for years. I did switch to non-aerosol in respect of the environment.

I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[ooky]

21. Nobody bashes Trump better than LOD. nt

[FakeNoose]

23. The Bizarro World truth is that for a small investment

... Chump could have his own custom-made toupee that would look so good and real the nobody would even guess it's fake. Celebrities and TV personalities have wig-makers and make-up artists at their disposal for this kind of vanity that most of us would never have access to.

All of this daily bullshit he goes through to conceal his baldness (that nobody cares about but him) would be completely unnecessary. My God, the mind boggles!

[oldsoftie]

54. I know! And i've seen photoshop pics of him bald and it doesnt look bad at all

I dont know why he doesnt do it.
I dont think i can pull off the bald head. One day i'm not going to have a choice

[PatrickforO]

24. True, but the things he said left me feeling dirty just from hearing them, and very, very

angry. My family has served with honor in wars throughout the history of this republic and bled for this country. My father was in the Pacific Theater during WWII, and he saw combat.

There is NO excuse, NONE, for saying that soldiers, sailors, marines or airmen that die in service of this republic are 'losers.'

Trump is the loser - a stinking sack of steaming excrement.

[Mme. Defarge]

25. Formidable!

F’ing brilliant!

[Aristus]

27. Still can't quite grasp the frantic insecurity.

I wasn't any better-looking with hair than I am without. But as long as I am without, I'm going to be open about it.

Why is that such a high hurdle for some people to clear?

How long has it been since hair was considered an irreducible sign of virility? Didn't Mr. Clean put an end to that? Doesn't every shaven-bald athlete in the world give lie to that perception?

[AwakeAtLast]

29. Cue Obama in rain pictures

And Biden, for that matter.

On a phone, someone help a girl, out!

[Heartstrings]

31. Here you go....

Haven’t found any of Biden, yet!

[AwakeAtLast]

50. Thank you!

[Heartstrings]

51. My pleasure!

[Stuart G]

32. Please...Is there a link to this? If there is could someone post that link please...

[ARPad95]

34. Here you go...

35. Well written! And Trump's obsession with his ridiculous fake tan make-up

is equally pathological. It has clearly contributed to his rejection of using a mask in the midst of a deadly pandemic, and mocking those who sensibly comply with the guidelines. His poor example and terrible massaging on this have undoubtedly caused tens of thousands of needless deaths, above and beyond those that resulted from his general incompetence and criminal negigence in the early days of the pandemic.

[Illumination]

41. So we're not just talking about pattern baldness! We're talking about a life full of patterns of

lies originating inside that screwed up head in that peanut brain of his! Guess that's why he's a career criminal!

[smirkymonkey]

42. Kicked and bookmarked!

That was masterful!

[Catherine Vincent]

43. That was so good, it hurt.

I'm surprised the impeached Donald hasn't tweeted about it.

[cp]

44. K&R a million!

Went to hear Lawrence's opening, stunningly perfect.
The Hair!

[BHDem53]

46. Thank You, Mr. O'Donnell.

You're the number one reason I watch MSNBC.

[live love laugh]

53. Deliciously scathing ...
