My wife and I both used to work in a state psychiatric facility. We met there. She was a nurse, I was working security. We both worked with the people there 4-5 days a week for 5 years.

In those five years I heard a lot of crazy incoherent stuff, and the vast majority of it pales in comparison to things I hear come out of this man's brain.

most of it sounds a lot crazier written down honestly, when he's speaking it takes a lot longer for you to figure out that you've already passed by the same phrasing at least four times and you no longer have enough breadcrumbs to get home

TRUMP: I’m not saying against her, but I’m gonna do anti-, I’ll be active in politics through PACs at a later date.

RUCKER: Like during this election year, or?

TRUMP: No.

RUCKER: Or in the future?

TRUMP: For future elections.

RUCKER: Oh. So if there’s a candidate you don’t like who’s running, you would fund a PAC to hurt them?

TRUMP: Republican or Democrat.

RUCKER: Really?

TRUMP: Yeah. That I’ll do.

RUCKER: Would you do that against Cruz, if he runs again?

TRUMP: Maybe.

RUCKER: He seems to want to run again.

TRUMP: Maybe against Kasich.

Most Dems don't vote in off elections. Those of us that do vote D for national tickets to fund our industries and actually get the cuts and grand bargains promised on social spending, plus we get socially liberal and professional class/business friendly judges. Then we vote for R in locally to make sure our money doesn't migrate out to rural areas in our states and to keep local taxes that aren't funneled back into our pockets low.

This isn't hard. It's about MONEY.

That's the thing, it's not. If you read the interview he actually blows off the 'didn't endorse Ryan yet' thing at first, only to circle back to it unprompted

quote:

TRUMP: You want me to give you an exact quote on the Paul Ryan? You were asking.

RUCKER: Yeah, please do.

TRUMP: Okay, you’re asking me if I’m supporting Paul Ryan?

RUCKER: Yeah, if you’re supporting Paul Ryan.

TRUMP: I’m not quite there yet.

RUCKER: And why is that?

TRUMP: Just not quite there yet.

"I'm not quite there yet" were Paul Ryan's exact words when asked by Jake Tapper in May if he endorsed Trump. It's obvious Trump remembered the line during the interview and couldn't resist the urge to own Ryan as revenge.

What the gently caress do the republicans actually think they're going to accomplish.

They probably thought they had the country by the balls after the earmarks moratorium, Citizens United, and the Shelby decision. They'd gotten a greenlight on shitloads of outside oil baron money rolling in, they'd gotten the greenlight on voter suppression, and they'd severed the main route by which consensus is built in the legislature.

The problem is that now they can't unring the earmarks bell and so their party is more than willing to rip each other's throats out in order to be The Most Conservative in front of a camera. They can't unring the CU bell so now the RNC can't put anywhere near enough of their thumb on the scale to swing elections toward moderates and instead you get crazed nutjobs whose campaigns they can't just abort by pulling party support. They can't unring the Shelby bell so now you've got civil rights groups falling all over themselves to sue their asses for passing Actual Jim Crow poo poo, and managing to get swathes of those state laws struck the gently caress down in the process.

Every single loving dark bargain they made with the furnacekeeper of hell itself in the past 40 years is being called in this year and they're utterly powerless to stop the super-sized train of poo poo from rolling over them. Fundamentalists are fighting against the corporatists, tea partiers are trying to glam-con their way into "leading figure" status by stabbing all the backs within reach, states are just swinging for the fences on discriminatory laws and getting not only their laws struck but similar laws in other states struck too. All the while, as the GOP turns in on itself like a bag full of wolverines getting thrown in the river, Obama sits perched in his bully pulpit becoming more and more liked every day because of how lovely the other guys are. Before Trump, there was Palin and before Palin there was Coulter, before Coulter there was Rush, before Rush there was Reagan, before Reagan there was Goldwater and before Goldwater today's GOP was just a twinkle in the eye of people like Charles Lindbergh.

Drink this election in and savor it not like a fine wine but instead like a cheap Moscato. Enjoy it not because of the quality or any melange of flavors but because it is sweet and fizzy and cheap. The GOP won't loving learn from this because it cannot learn, it destroyed the parts of itself capable of learning. They doubled down on racism and bigotry after losing twice to a black guy and then chased off the people suggesting they stop being shitfucks to women and minorities. They responded to losing the LGBTQ marriage war by attacking transpeople and then lashing out at multinational companies that turned their backs on places like North Carolina. They are devolving so fast they couldn't even get a prior presidential nominee to appear at the convention let alone a prior president so they had to make due with the pyramid scam lady who spoke like she skipped class speech days in elementary school.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

So is Trump's growing incoherence something that'll be seen in someone increasing dependence on uppers?
