@weaselx86 Excellent commentary — yes, the dead, dead eyes that betray no even slight evidence of intellectual work behind them.

@weaselx86 @swasserstrom Thank you for sharing this good article.

@jmjm I'll confess I had to google Renfield — an apt comparison, for sure.

@meltedcheese Yes, I agree. Those with our eyes open have seen all along, but the media pretended not to see, unless it was Biden under their microscope. I agree: better late than never.

@Runyan50 Yes, a great word to use here, isn't it? I like Bryan Tyler Cohen's commentary. An excellent conclusion: "Trump’s behavior is familiar to me. Having 70 million people follow him like a god is not."

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Runyan50 For sure.

@Runyan50 A valuable perspective on Trump's "weave," for sure — a term sanewashing mental decline and instability. I saw my mother go down a similar path as she developed and then entered into dementia. The signs I see in Trump's case are so similar to what I watched in her.

@cdunnpasadena An ambiguous word, no? Perhaps that's why they chose it.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Runyan50 Yes, that sounds right to me.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@misterprickles I agree, and it was broadcast live, which makes it harder for Trump and his minions to deny what he said and how he behaved.

@GreenFire I think you mean Jeff Sharlet, who has done outstanding work for a long time tracking the strong underground influence of right-wing Christian groups in D.C. His book The Family is an eye-opener — I highly recommend it.

@mastodonmigration If jazz means cray-cray, I did!

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@davidarnell That's right.
