    I'd like to see Trump's reaction after reading this:

    Based on the excerpts now available, "Fire and Fury" presents a man in the White House who is profoundly ignorant of politics, policy, and anything resembling the substance of perhaps the world’s most demanding job. He is temperamentally unstable. Most of what he says in public is at odds with provable fact, from “biggest inaugural crowd in history” onward. Whether he is aware of it or not, much of what he asserts is a lie. His functional vocabulary is markedly smaller than it was 20 years ago; the oldest person ever to begin service in the White House, he is increasingly prone to repeat anecdotes and phrases. He is aswirl in foreign and financial complications. He has ignored countless norms of modern governance, from the expectation of financial disclosure to the importance of remaining separate from law-enforcement activities. He relies on immediate family members to an unusual degree; he has an exceptionally thin roster of experienced advisers and assistants; his White House staff operations have more in common with an episode of "The Apprentice" than with any real-world counterpart. He has a shallower reserve of historical or functional information than previous presidents, and a more restricted supply of ongoing information than many citizens. He views all events through the prism of whether they make him look strong and famous, and thus he is laughably susceptible to flattering treatment from the likes of Putin and Xi Jinping abroad or courtiers at home.

    History will judge Ryan and McConnell very very poorly. Fallows is correct. This isn't going to get better, and everyone close to Trump knows it. They just don't know how to get off this tiger with any dignity. Wolff has hours and hours of tapes of their conversations. D.C. is a one-party consent jurisdiction, meaning he did not have to tell him he was taping them. The man is falling apart and his staff is almost crying out for help and the GOP is so married to the fake universe that Fox News created, they'd rather fuck us all that save the country from whatever potential disaster is looming.

    This is why I try to stick to images. Should have blue-fonted that.

    Ryan is far worse than Trump and that's saying a lot.

    Ryan and McConnell don’t give a shot about history. McConnell is nothing less than pimp who whores himself out for he right price. He and cumstained mail order bride are in it for the money. Ryan is in it for the money, the entire republican house majority is on it to get rich. They’ll sell the country to mirth Korea if they can keep the mineral rights.

    Damnatio memoriae - Wikipedia

    This is what all of these people deserve.
    The intent was to scrub them from the collective memory of the Roman state - wiped clean like a shit stain.
    But posterity is lucky enough to get to read about inaugural crowds, sizes of nuclear "buttons", golden showers, Pizzagate and the like.
