Can we all agree that the POTUS-elect is crazy as a shithouse rat?

[kentuck]

Just because the news outlets and their ambitious reporters pretend that he is "normal", it is a disservice to America to not recognize his insanity.

It does not help to ignore the crazy shit that he says, like invading Greenland and Panama. Or making Canada the 51st state. Or renaming the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America? This is not how a POTUS should be talking.

The man is insane.

[Kid Berwyn]

1. They just need him around for a couple of weeks more.

Then comes the Couchhumpening.

[h2ebits]

42. Yes. I agree and after the inauguration. . . .

he will be removed, JD Vance will step into the Presidency and Mike Johnson will become the new Vice President. This has been the plan all along.

The other thing that I predicted months ago before Musk really stepped up his rhetoric was that his goal was world domination. He's not interested in the Presidency because he cannot, by law, become president. What he IS interested in is being the Supreme Leader of the World and dominating ALL of us.

I'm in wait and see mode at this point. And fighting back.

[Sneederbunk]

2. At least it's not Gulf of Trump.

[rasputin1952]

10. Turning all of the oil rigs into "Sea Resorts"...n/t

[3catwoman3]

25. You know that he...

…would name it that if he thought he could get away with it. Hell, he’d rename the planet Trump instead of Earth if he could.

Has there ever been anyone with such an insatiable need for adoration as this POS?

[h2ebits]

38. Elon Musk?

[Hekate]

3. I believe that you are right!

Mango Mussolini has lost his freaking mind

[bucolic_frolic]

4. What can be done in public discourse to accelerate dementia?

This is on the brink of the "Grandpa, Adult Day Care is your real job because they need your help."

[Ping Tung]

5. The difference being that the rats make a living honestly and don't need an army of lawyers to cover their asses.

[Celerity]

6. yes

[rasputin1952]

12. Perfect!!! n/t

[rubbersole]

14. Gee, kentuck...

..what do you have against shithouse rats?

[Zorro]

30. It's a shithouse mouse

More alliterative.

[ms liberty]

7. Yes, that should be a given in any conversation about Orange Man

[GreenWave]

8. When he F's up,which is constantly. he covers it up with another F up.

EG.. His horrible statement about Carter.'s funeral Outrage ensues.
Then he says a day or so later, our guys are giddy about the flag draped over his coffin, which deflects from his first outrageous comment.

Reagan pretended to be the strongman who got those hostages home. (Exchanged for weaponry).
So America eats his poop. Then one day a bomb explodes in Lebanon killing over 300 people, mostly Marines. So what did Ronnie do?
He turned the National TV to a new station: The demagogic invasion of Grenada two days later.
Repugs were huffing and puffing and spewing non-stop bs and that media also ate it up.

[surfered]

9. Exactly! It's a distraction from both a previous blunder and for what he's about to do..

…like tax cuts for the rich or nominating Hannibal Lecter to be Attorney General.

[Cosmocat]

39. Yup

What you brought up is something I bring up often.

[GoCubsGo]

11. You'll get no argument from me.

Other than maybe that a shithouse rat is more sane than this lunatic.

[H2O Man]

13. No.

The felon is a sociopath. He has a severe personality disorder. But he is not "crazy," or mentally ill. (Nor is he mentally healthy.) At this time, he is playing the public by saying crazy shit to distract people from the actual important issues. This is not new -- he has done it constantly since 2015. And from merely reading DU:GD daily, there is solid evidence that it is working for him exactly as he intends.

Recommended.

[DENVERPOPS]

21. The same exact thing

worked for the RepubliCONs during WBush's years and Reagan's years...........

All three of them were used to distract from what the covert, corrupt actions the RepubliCON party was doing behind the curtains, and using smoke and mirrors to stay out of sight......

The perfect title for a book about the last 45+ years would be: WHILE THE NATION SLEPT

[H2O Man]

23. You nailed it.

[mercuryblues]

37. I noticed that during the primary debates in 2016

He would fling poo, make accusation and the competitors would fight amongst themselves, while he learned back and smiled.



I showed this to my son and he laughed. He used this tactic in History class the next day during a lesson on WWII. He came home and said it actually works. Within minutes the whole class had taken sides and started bickering with and against each other.

[H2O Man]

44. Nice!

Although it is an old tactic, I think that in the present culture, it is more effective. We are in a phase where emotions override rational thought.

[sakabatou]

15. That's an insult to rats

[rubbersole]

16. JD Vance will be potus by Easter.

The oligarchs don't need this crazy pos anymore.

[Escape]

17. SHITHOUSE RAT!

I love it. My sister, four brothers and 14 nieces and nephews will be notified immediately of the new christening.

Thanks.

[S/V Loner]

18. The billionaires have let go the leash and...

are letting him hang himself. Next up is the 25th amendment though you won't hear anything about billionaires from the bought media The GOP will take sole credit.
Not that any of that will do the rest of us any good.

[valleyrogue]

20. It would be interesting to see a poll

where those surveyed had to pick which one was more nuts, Trump or Musk.

I think the vote would be very, very close.

I don't think either one is long for public life.

[Festivito]

22. Unless it's really a distraction from upcoming House Resolutions.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219883581

[ShazzieB]

24. Agreed that he's a sociopath and a malignant narcissist.

But I also believe he is showing clear signs of developing dementia.

It's an extremely scary combination.

[endless summer]

26. YES!

And he’s easily the most idiotic “president” in our history.

[Dave Bowman]

27. Oh he's insane all right.

[SergeStorms]

28. Not a single doubt in my mind.

Happy now, U.S. voters? You elected a certified madman to destroy our country, perhaps the world, all because the corporate food providers decided to take windfall profits during and after the COVID pandemic. The price of groceries is too high, so you blamed Democrats for corporate greed.


Oh yeah, fuck you, assholes! 😡

[TommieMommy]

29. Yes yes yes yes yes

[SWBTATTReg]

31. Yes, no doubts here in my mind about what you are saying. I would add too, that he's dumb as a rock too.

I just waiting for him to restart playing golf, and before you know it, he'll have played 300 rounds of golf in his first year or so. Wouldn't surprise me one bit, since he doesn't seem to want to really get into the issues, keep himself informed somewhat of the issues, other than his stupid 'go to' comments w/o offering really anything else as a compromise. More of the same ol' routine he had during his first term. At least during his 2nd term, chances are better for him to expire due to his numerous health issues, but knowing our luck, he won't. I just plan on ignoring the big idiot totally, 100%, anything he says or do, ignore totally. If enough ignore him, it'll drive him crazier than he already is.

If he going to make a new state, why not already concentrate on those territories the US has already, if they chose to be a state in the US, then do it. And why do we have these territories still, if they're not states and have no reps of their own? Are we supposed to be guardians forever of these territories?

[doc03]

32. Thom Hartmann read a couple minutes of yesterdays press conference. It is the ramblings of

an insane person. What I heard from MAGAs before the election Kamala wasn't even smart enough to
form a complte sentence. The media talked about Biden's age.Trump is like the insane guy on street arguing with
a fire hydrant.

[Buddyzbuddy]

33. Madness

For a short time I thought maybe he was trying to set up an insanity defense or even a strategy to gain sympathy at sentencing. But no more, this guy seems to have a deeper dementia at the beginning 4 years than Reagan at the end of 8 years. He's going to need a really strong chief of staff to reduce the influence of the likes of Leon.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

34. Could be, but what does it matter if the "crazy" is authentic or

if it's a calculated strategy.... or some combination thereof. Wish this forum would get up to speed re: how disinformation and propaganda works - its not necessarily to convince everyone of wildly false or inflammatory info but to sow enough discord, conflict, chaos and confusion that go numb and/or give up. We are being primed to accept ever more outrageous - to what end, guess we'll find out.

THAT SAID, it is truly shocking how the media does seem to be starting to surrender its authority and act all this is "normal" when a loud unambiguous "WTF?????" reaction is called for. On npr this morning they mentioned US military seizing Greenland without batting an eye. Least they could do is get someone countering with a reminder that its a territory of Denmark, a SOVEREIGN NATION.

[Cosmocat]

41. Correct

Nm

[Moostache]

36. I feel like I am being forced to live as Sancho Panza in a bizarre version of "Don Quixote"...

Sancho KNOWS that Don Quixote is insane, but he continually finds himself amidst people either playing Quixote for a fool or playing along for their own amusement throughout the novel.

At least in "Don Quixote", Sancho goes along with these deceptions because he fantasizes about his own imminent fame and rewards (money, lands, governorship of an island, etc.)...in this dystopian nightmare, all I have is permanent scowl and constant feeling of "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE?!?!?!".

[Liberty Belle]

40. That's an insult to rats, who are actually intelligent and rational.

[Bluethroughu]

43. He should not be sworn in, he is demented.

He is s security risk.

[Blue Owl]

45. It was so fucking obvious BEFORE the election

How the goddamn fuck did even these MAGA morons vote for this inept, demented garbage clown?

[BootinUp]

46. I think there is a possible debate on how much of his insanity is play acting for MAGAts.

But its not really an important debate to have.

[vapor2]

47. And how about his shit remarks and name calling of Newsom?

I am considering disconnecting cable tv but can still read the shit from his anus.
