My view that–if Trump isn’t on drugs–he’s still an addict, bears out now under the present circumstances. He’s addicted to his own bullshit. (Or maybe Hannity’s bullshit; it’s not clear who the supplier is here.) [His staff now is planning an intervention](https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/06/politics/donald-trump-election-2020/index.html). Mark Meadows–his main co-dependent–continues to slip him doses of bullshit which prevents him from recognizing that he’s lost. This pathetic situation could drag on for while. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > If only they had started treating him the way he deserved about a month into his administration. Some reader comments in the Washington Post yesterday were taking the paper to task for FINALLY taking off the gloves and naming DJT the liar he has been **all along**.   Yep. Too many media tried to maintain “impartiality”. And continual (unfounded) attacks from the right wing about bias makes it a sore spot. But, they forgot an important aspect of impartiality: journalists are _supposed_ to be biased towards the truth. If a journalist has the facts to disprove a statement, it’s their obligation to their own integrity and our society to report it as a lie. ---
