It's one guy - and it's CNN - but there seems to be an increasing amount of smoke.

"Leadership"
Because if we're conditioned to believe made up bullshit to start with, we're a lot easier to manipulate in new and exciting ways.

When you say you'll pray for me, does that mean I need to do the thinking for both of us?

Nobody Does This Better
driftglass:
I feel compelled to point out that back when Comrade Trump was declaring that his Party would be a Worker's Party, certain internet scoundrel hobos were trying in vain to call Meathead America's attention to the fact that, according to Comrade Trump's own words...
Comrade Trump Sings Songs Of Love
Comrade Trump promises that under his regime he will...
...tell American companies what they can produce and where they can produce it.
...tell American companies who they can hire and how much they will be paid.
...use the power of government to keep American workers working in dying industries despite what the market says.
...conquer inferior countries who have stuff we want.
...weed out the undesirables whoever they may be and wherever they may hide.
...build an axis of strong alliances with other like-minded Strong Menaround the world.
...not be held hostage by the counterrevolutionary forces of bourgeoisie science.
A Trump Biographer
From a piece at RawStory, quoting Mike D'Antonio:
He finished with a disturbing image of Trump as a mindless animal in a behavioral experiment.
“He no longer had to manipulate journalists and wait for them to act. He could tap out a few words and get what he wanted immediately. It reminded me of psychologist B.F. Skinner’s experiments with chickens that learned to push a button with their beaks for the reward of a food pellet. Once they had trained themselves, the birds couldn’t stop pecking even when the pellets no longer came and they injured themselves,” he said.
“Like Skinner’s animal subjects,” he concluded. “Trump has learned to get what he wants. No matter who criticizes him, no matter the consequences, he will keep doing it. Those who ask if he will stop scouring the press for evidence of enemies and using his power in indiscriminate ways should stop thinking of him as a conventional politician and start looking at him as a chicken.”There's no such thing as Proportionality for a Donald Trump, and he's surrounding himself with "birds of a feather", which is more than a bit fucked up when it comes down to a little thing we like to call The Nuclear Arsenal.
And yes, I know, everybody talked about that for a fleeting moment during the Scampaign®, but then it kinda fell off the ol' radar scope - like every-fucking-thing else that shoulda sunk this Powdered Cheese Dusted Asswipe but didn't because keeping him on my Librul TV Box may have been bad for the country, but holy crap, was it ever great for ratings.

The Professional Left Podcast
A great take-down of the single-thread bullshit about how Hillary was just a rotten candidate and how she missed the mark and blah blah blah.
The Bible Bitch segment at the end is pretty spectacular this week - and if I believed in such things, I'd say God bless you, Blue Gal.
But I don't believe in such things, so I'll just say Keep Doin' Good, you guys.
