> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > As David Gergen pointed out today, psychologists know it is common for someone to project onto someone else undesirable characteristics perceived in oneself. That’s because for narcissists and people living in complete and utter denial, if you see it as a quality in yourself, you naturally assume everyone is just like that too. That way, it becomes a universal human trait instead of a pernicious idiosyncratic one. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > In the mob, being a rat is the worst possible crime because everyone knows and acknowledges that _ **what they are engaged in is against the law** _. > > How could McGahn have something to “RAT” out if everything going on in the Trump White House has been lawful? You reminded me of an article in New York Magazine authored by Frank Rich - excellent, excellent article, as are many of Rich’s works. Well-researched and a pretty colorful sketch of his subject(s). In this case, the subject is Roy Cohn. > **[Frank Rich: Roy Cohn, Donald Trump, and the New York Cesspool That Created Them](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/04/frank-rich-roy-cohn-the-original-donald-trump.html)** > > The city’s Establishment will ignore unscrupulous acts to serve its interests — just look how it treated the onetime lawyer to the president. Well worth the read. Among other things, it talks about the mob’s proximity to the Trumpian / Cohn orbit, and when you read this article (and some of Rich’s others), it starts to make sense. James Comey said that Trump is like a mafia boss, and it’s easy to see why. It also makes clear the fact that Trump, despite being a ‘novice’ politician, was deep into the New York political system - had to be in order to get some of his deals done. I think casual observers and armchair pundits get Trump wrong when they assume that he’s dumb and knows nothing about politics. He actually knows a lot. He wasn’t lying when he said that he’s worked politicians and knows how the system works. He knows how to game it. He knows its corruption. Voters and pundits got punked in 2016 because Trump didn’t have the look and feel of the usual politician begging for votes. Trump is a throwback to the days of Tammany Hall. ---

See, Thanksgiving and Christmas [excuse me - - _HOLIDAYS_\*] are coming up, and Americans are going to be expected to eat a lot of turkey, which comes from Turkey (duh). If we all patriotically cut back on turkey, Turkay’s main source of income will take such a hit that their economy will go into a tailspin, and they’ll be _begging_ us to let them release our wonderful Pastor. I fact they’ll probably imprison a few more Pastors, just so they can be seen releasing them to build up goodwill. ---

The Twitterrhea keeps flowing: > [@Orange Shitgibbon At A Keyboard](#): > > Disgraced and discredited Bob Mueller and his whole group of Angry Democrat Thugs spent over 30 hours with the White House Councel, only with my approval, for purposes of transparency. Anybody needing that much time when they know there is no Russian Collusion is just someone… > > …looking for trouble. They are enjoying ruining people’s lives and REFUSE to look at the real corruption on the Democrat side - the lies, the firings, the deleted Emails and soooo much more! Mueller’s Angry Dems are looking to impact the election. They are a National Disgrace! > > Where’s the Collusion? They made up a phony crime called Collusion, and when there was no Collusion they say there was Obstruction (of a phony crime that never existed). If you FIGHT BACK or say anything bad about the Rigged Witch Hunt, they scream Obstruction! ---

Finally breaking his silence regarding yesterday’s cataclysmic events, Trump manages to say something true: > [@The Damn President of the US](#): > > If anyone is looking for a good lawyer, I would strongly suggest that you don’t retain the services of Michael Cohen! Also, you know, an admission against his own interests that his other attorneys would probably prefer that he kept his mouth shut about, but hey. I’m usually terrified by these, a little amusement once and a while is all right by me. ---
