There has been a pattern to the increasing intensity of his tweet storms in the past. It tends to proceed bad news.I suspect it's a sign that things are heating up with the Mueller investigation in relation to Flynn. Perhaps we should expect a major bombshell soon.

Perhaps we should expect a major bombshell soon.That would imply that there is some sort of deliberate strategy behind them.Thus, Trump is not INSANE!!!I think the insane/dementia/stupid explanation is a lazy explanation. If you look at how, when, and why he uses his bombastic statements its pretty obvious there is a deliberate method. He uses them to direct people attention to or away from something. The over-the-top language ensures people take notice. If the man were insane/stupid/demented he wouldn't be here now. People of lower status always try to call people above them stupid. In a meritocracy that is seldom the case.
More misdirection. He's not insane, he's psychologically disturbed--malignant narcissism to be exact.
As for stupid, how many times did he go bankrupt? How many companies under his helm ended up in the shitter? How many poor staffing choices has he made as president? How smart is it to get your news from Fox rather than the experts you're supposedly surrounded by ("the best people")?
His tweets are not about getting results. They're for firing up his base, folks like you who get off on him making racist remarks because they're not politically correct.
The U.S. is an oligarchy not a meritocracy, at least according to recent research.
Your the person raising the question of his sanity, this isn't a requirement for evoking the 25th amendment only that there is an impairment that prevents the president from fulfilling his duties. Dementia doesn't equal insanity nor do a number of other mental impairments.

Look at his debates and pressers. He is obviously lucid and aware of what he is saying. He doesn't have dementia anymore than some guy ranting about a sports team and getting some facts wrong on a radio show has dementia/mental issues.

Most billionaires will have at least a few ventures that went bankrupt. That's like saying a professional millionaire poker player has lost early in a few tournaments, therefore they're stupid and suck at poker.QuoteHis tweets are not about getting results. They're for firing up his base, folks like you who get off on him making racist remarks because they're not politically correct. I'll agree that firing up his base is a big part. I don't agree that everyone "gets off" on racist remarks or even that his tweets are racist.QuoteThe U.S. is an oligarchy not a meritocracy, at least according to recent research. Yeah, that's your excuse for why you, who think you are so brilliant, are a nobody and he's successful.
IMPEACHED!!! I personally can't wait. At least Mike Pence can form an intelligent sentence and understands basic government functioning.Reasons to impeach can be found here, plus any new ones that may will arise in the near future.http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/the-administration/318045-the-house-can-start-impeachment-against-trump-now
It has been 10 months since this thread started. I'm still waiting for Trump's impeachment.
Quote from: arane on December 04, 2017, 04:40:55 pmIt has been 10 months since this thread started. I'm still waiting for Trump's impeachment. Trump's impeachment has been predicted for about as much time as people have predicted he'll turn America into Nazi Germany, round up 10 million illegals, start a war with North Korea, and ban abortion and turn this place into the Handmaid's Tale.Best not to put too much stock in the predictions and "insights" of such people who at one time or another spout lines like those above. Somehow "It's Germany 1933!!!" "Impeachment is Right Around the Corner" "Trump is Such a Buffoon, Can't Even Repeal Obamacare" "He's trampling on the Constitution. He's a dictator" "The Resistance is Everywhere, Come to Our Rally" are capable of existing simultaneously in the heads of some people.
It doesn't take watching you play the good German for anyone whose eyes are open to see the parallels between Nazi Germany and the US under trumped up. From "The German always before the foreigner and the Jews!" to America First is no stretch at all (just replace Jews with Muslims).
Quote from: Mr.DeMartino on December 06, 2017, 01:41:46 pmYou could write up Trump's presidency as having parallels to The Fellowship of the Ring, Berlusconi, The Island of Misfit Toys, G.R.O.S.S., Charles II, The Klingon High Council, The Duke of Brunswick, Trajan, King Tut, Jahangir, Tojo, The Gambino Family, Pee Wee's Playhouse, or anything else under the frickin sun.I think this presidency is a little more like the Three Stooges........only difference being was they were actually geniuses.
