And what’s amazing is that there is a 0% chance he will admit that he mishandled it or try to make things even marginally better with Johnson or Wilson. Instead, if past is prologue, he will continue on the attack and then use any public appearance in the coming weeks to insist events proved him right. ---

La David Johnson for lying](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/23/us/politics/soldiers-widow-says-trump-struggled-to-remember-sgt-la-david-johnsons-name.html). How fucking hard is this? “When I called the family of Sgt. Johnson, it was my genuine intent to convey the highest degree of respect for his service and to offer words of condolence for his family’s loss. Judging from the reaction from his family, It appears that I failed in my attempt to deliver this message on behalf of the American people, and for that I truly apologize. If Sgt. Johnson’s family would allow it, I would like a second chance to more clearly convey my message to honor their son.” I don’t think that Trump was trying to disrespect this family, but that’s the message that they received then it is his job to rectify that rather than digging in his heels. It’s really not that hard to be a human being. ---

Beginning of plot summary: > [@](#): > > Six-year-old Anthony Fremont has godlike mental powers, including mind-reading. He has isolated his town of Peaksville, Ohio from the rest of the universe. The people must thus grow their own food, and supplies of common household items, such as bar soap, have been dwindling. He has blocked television signals and caused cars not to work. Everybody is under his rule, even his parents. The people live in fear of him, constantly telling him how everything he does is “good,” since he banishes anyone thinking unhappy thoughts into the otherworldly cornfield from which there is no return… We are definitely in the Twilight Zone. And there’s usually no exit. ---

> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > \ > I don’t think that Trump was trying to disrespect this family… I think I understand what you mean, but I think you are wrong because you misunderstand how foreign a creature this moron really is. Whatever he was trying to do, a fundamental fact is that he has no respect for people like Myeshia Johnson. None. She is a woman. She is black. She is not rich or powerful. She is worthless. I’m not sure he even recognizes her humanity. The only thing he was trying to do in his conversation with her was to complete an onerous task that was made necessary by his spontaneous bullshitting about previous presidents and condolence calls. He didn’t and doesn’t give a rat’s ass about showing her respect or sympathy or any other normal human feeling. I think eventually everyone will realize that he is as about as much like us as the creatures that live near hydrothermal vents. He is convincing more of us with each step down the rungs into the abyss. ---
