Our illustrious President just congratulated the #2 pick in the NFL draft, who earlier had called Colin Kaepernick a ‘clown’ in a tweet. [Congratulations to Nick Bosa on being picked number two in the NFL Draft. You will be a great player for years to come, maybe one of the best. Big Talent! San Francisco will embrace you but most importantly, always stay true to yourself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1122109651087241216) Interestingly, Bosa has since deleted this and other controversial tweets, saying [‘I had to. There is a chance I might end up in San Francisco’](https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/27/politics/trump-nick-bosa-colin-kaepernick/index.html). And indeed, Bosa was drafted by the 49ers. Trump, of course, totally ignored the #1 overall pick, Kyler Murray, a quarterback from Oklahoma. Murray just happens to be black. ---

Oh, for crissake. Why doesn’t he just drop the pretext and say “Congratulations to Nick Bosa on being the #1 White Guy in the draft!” ---

In that case, you’d think Trump would ask Murray to help out Dennis Rodman with N. Korea and get him his Peace Prize. After all, you just need to be Korean to help.

Trump reportedly pressed, asking where “your people” were from. > > The NBC report said the analyst said her parents were Korean, leading Trump to ask an adviser why the “pretty Korean lady” was not involved in negotiations with nuclear-armed North Korea. Trump: “[Y]our people”. I wonder how often he asks that of white people? ---

[Here’s](https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1121552006785716224) what Napolitano said. Since Trump hasn’t read the Mueller report, and his knowledge of its conclusions has come from what he’s watched on Fox News, we can now assume that he’s seen the Napolitano clip, and it’s finally dawning on him what deep shit he’s in. ---

Also asked for pardon for his friend. A good “pal” of low ratings Shepard Smith. It’s funny how whenever someone who used to be his pal criticizes him, Loser Donald says it’s because they asked him for something (a government job, a pardon, money, etc.) and he said no. It’s as if he can’t imagine the notion of being nice to another human being without expecting to get something out of them. ---

Perhaps at some point Trump was capable of being nice to someone in order to sell them something, but right now he doesn’t seem to be able of reaching beyond “being ‘nice’” (sometimes for very strange definitions of nice) “to someone unless they’re actively stroking his ego”. ---

It’s as if he can’t imagine the notion of being nice to another human being without expecting to get something out of them. Alternatively, it also seems to show that he cannot conceptualize the notion of people disagreeing him because he’s wrong ; rather it’s always because he (Trump) didn’t dole out the goodies or some other unrelated reason. It can’t be that Napoletano said what he said because it’s the truth or his considered opinion as a law scholar : it has to have an ulterior, dishonest and ultimately pettily spiteful motive. It suggests that what he said _isn’t_ the or even his truth, just saying whatever as long as it hurts a target. Odd, that. One idly wonders if there’s not more reflexive projection going on there than in a bukkake video. ---

That’s why I’ve referred to him as the Bell & Howell president from time to time. ---

The scary thing is that the MAGAers don’t seem to be able to think critically and just eat up Trump’s bullshit. Napolitano saying something that’s not Trump positive? Don’t believe him: [Trump’s Followers Believe His Lies About the Wall](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/02/trump-followers-believe-lies-wall.html) _No evidence—not even from Fox News—can shake their faith._ > [@](#): > > Then Trump delivered his closing pitch, a direct appeal to intuition over evidence. You don’t need to check the numbers, he argued, since you already know walls work. “It’s fake news. I’m telling you, it’s just fake news,” the president jeered. “And you know what? You wouldn’t even have to know. You can say that automatically, without even knowing. It’s, like, it’s obvious, it’s common sense.” > > Trump’s message was a recipe for incurable ignorance: \*Reject all contrary evidence as biased. Reject anyone who reports that evidence. Rely on your leader’s anecdotes. Trust the uninformed consensus of your friends. Respond automatically. \*And ignore anyone who says you’re a sucker. You’re not being credulous. You’re being vigilant against the fakers. You’re “the smart ones.” > > … > > Trump’s followers don’t just scorn the liberal media. They dismiss any reporting that contradicts the president, even if it comes from outlets they normally trust. In July, an NPR/PBS/Marist poll asked, “Who do you trust more: your favorite news source or Donald Trump?” For respondents on the political right, this question pitted Trump’s credibility not against CNN or the New York Times but against friendly sources such as Fox News. Nevertheless, these respondents picked Trump. While voters as a whole trusted their favorite news source over Trump (62 percent to 29 percent), Trump supporters chose the president, 65 percent to 24 percent. Among Republicans, the gap was even wider: 70 percent trusted Trump more than they trusted their favorite news source. [italics in original] Think about that. 70% of Republicans trust Trump more than even their favorite source, which is most likely Fox News. I still know people who demand examples of Trump lying and then dismiss any offered as “Fake News” or “Trump was only joking” and you don’t get it. For a guy with no sense of humor, Trump makes an awful lot of jokes. I once gave as an example of a Trump lie his statement that “I’m, like, a very smart person.” The MAGAers didn’t like that: “He’s the smartest guy in the room” and “he’s such a successful businessman”. :smack: Incurable ignorance, indeed. ---

I know I’ve mentioned this several times, but perhaps this is another appropriate time for a definition from the Newspeak Dictionary (Eleventh Edition): **crimestop** _n._ The faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. In short…protective stupidity. ---
