Don't give the bully what he wants. You don't pretend they're not dangerous, you just refuse to pretend they're impressive.
Brilliant bit of insight from JoJo From Jerz.

Poor Little Rich Kid
There's no duckin' the truth here, Little Don - Daddy's just never gonna love you.
Why did CNN feel the need to identify
Donald Trump Jr
as Donald Trump's son?

This is kind of a variation on Colbert - on steroids - but I'm hoping they let Jordan Klepper get his feet under him and find his audience.
If they can keep it moving and not get too hung up in simple mockery, they might be making something pretty special. Fake Jesus knows they're not likely to run out of raw material any time soon.

Mr Colbert
Stephen brings it. And even tho' it seems like the jokes are writing themselves, this is work, kids. It's not as easy as it might look.

The View From Inside
I don't know if 45*'s shenanigans add up to an actual conscious attempt at Gaslighting or not, but dang - it's as close to a waking nightmare as anything I've been able to imagine, and some pretty weird shit goes on in my head sometimes.

President Lowlife
Sometimes, if it was any less tragic, it wouldn't be funny.
Alexadra Petri, WaPo:
I stand with my colleagues in Congress to say: The president’s tweet is beneath the dignity of the office.
This is not making America great.
The president has at last done the unthinkable: He has insulted a morning television personality in crude and ghastly terms and I must — in consequence of this hideous and vile breach of the dignity of the office — withdraw none of my support from his legislative agenda. (If you can call it a legislative agenda and not a ragtag collection of bad ideas quickly stapled together with a dead pigeon in the middle.)
--and--
I am shocked and appalled by his behavior. And I am not afraid to say so. At a fundraiser. For him. Before asking for more donations.
Everything else the president has done is fine — the continued attacks on the media’s legitimacy, the carelessness toward history and diplomacy, the harmful rhetoric about Muslims, the — well, it is all fine. This is too much, though, and I am putting my foot down, here, on my way to vote against icebergs.

A quick observation: the Grossitude Factor of any given diversionary scandal increases proportionally to 45*'s perception of the Bigly Threateningness of the Russia Thing. So it must be pretty fuckin' bad now.

A Grand Idea
Overheard on YouTube:
I can't imagine how it hasn't occurred to someone in the White House at some point in the last 4 months, but wouldn't it be great if they slipped a letter of resignation into one of those Executive Order folders? He'd sign it blindly - like he does everything else - and boom; new president.

But then, President Pence. So yeah - we're fucked.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, Donald Trump boasted that, if he is impeached, the television ratings will be higher than those of any other impeachment in history.
“Everywhere I go, people tell me that if I am impeached, they’re going to watch it,” he said. “The ratings are going to be through the roof.”
He said that he expected his impeachment ratings to be “many, many times” the size of the audience for Bill Clinton’s impeachment, in 1998.

Quick reminder on where 45* stands on getting the Executive Branch up and running:
They’ve stopped even pretending. The US Embassy in the UK is promoting Mar-a-Lago on its website. https://t.co/C84tkA2Gs0— Josh Schwerin (@JoshSchwerin) April 24, 2017
