Bleeding Og, man, are you operating on the assumption that I am\* defending\* him? You’re welcome to it, if that’s what floats your boat, but…wow!

Aaaaand you were right.

3:27 am, and the Trumpster Fire was skulking about, and managed to get his hands on his cell phone.

I for one, hope that he spends all of his hours sitting in his bathrobe and slippers responding to various “insults” that celebrities say about him. Keep up the good work, I say to Streep and others. It keeps the man-child busy with inconsequential ego wars and away from actual governing and policy.

The fact that Trump felt compelled to respond to Streep shows that the guy never got out of the 5th grade emotionally.

Trump is getting more and more immature by the day. Now he is tweeting about how all the Washington stores are sold out of gown for the inauguration. This is of course patently false. I was in a DC mall the other day and they had tons of dresses. In fact, I was wondering why so many dresses out just for New Year’s when I realized that it was also for the inauguration. Niemann-Marcus reportedly has thousands of dresses in stock. He just can’t bear the fact that people don’t want to go to his party. Oh, I’m sure that there will be a good turnout, but unless it is THE BIGGEST INAUGURATION EVER, Trump will throw a temper tantrum. It’s starting to go beyond amusing to me at this point.

Oh, it will be. And if anyone dares report otherwise:

3:23 am “Unfair media lying about how Great and Huge Inauguration was. Sad!”

Do you ever get the feeling he’s been narrating his life to himself and he finally has an audience?

You are overestimating his emotional age by at least four years.

Well, plus assuming he got through 5th grade. The evidence is ambiguous.

Has he tweeted about the latest episode of Black-ish yet? Very anti-Trump.

He carped about the name of the show (everybody would get mad if the show was called White-ish) but I doubt he actually watches it.

Perhaps we’ve been finally struck speechless by this latest display of Trumpian chutzpah. MLK weekend is simply not the time to go after the most revered civil rights legend who is still living, especially with an attack that doesn’t make any sense.

Of all the people in congress, John Lewis is the one least deserving of the [“all talk, no action” jab](http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/14/politics/john-lewis-donald-trump/). And only a racist would assume Lewis’s congressional district is especially “crime-infested” or “falling apart”. Some of the poshest zip codes in metro Atlanta are in his district.

[From the Atlanta Journal and Constitution](http://www.ajc.com/news/trump-john-lewis-fix-your-horrible-atlanta-district/wmRq3ltwXT0FfnkM9nbAwL/):

> [@](#):
>
> The Democrat’s district includes parts of Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton counties – and most of the city of Atlanta – as well as Brookhaven, College Park, Decatur and Morrow. The district has several of Atlanta’s most prominent gems, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the King Center and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
> 
> And it has the bulk of Georgia’s higher education institutions: Emory University, Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Georgia Tech and Georgia State University are all in the 5th Congressional District. It is also where many of the state’s Fortune 500 companies are based, including Coca Cola Co., Southern Co. and Delta Air Lines.
> 
> It is also one of the most diverse districts in the South. Census data show it is about 58 percent black and 33 percent white, along with a growing Hispanic population. The district has an 8.2 percent unemployment rate – above a national jobless rate that hovers below 5 percent – and the median household income for residents is about $48,000.

Your average southern congressman would kill to have a district like Lewis’s.

It is heartening to see GOPers like [Ben Sasse](https://twitter.com/BenSasse/status/820275834946809857) defending Lewis, even if it does seem a bit two-faced.

Perhaps Trump v. Lewis will be what finally unifies us. Seems to me that even the most racist Republican has to be cringing hard right now.
