I'm not on Twitter so hadn't seen this yet. He has truly lost his ever loving mind. I bet that's why he didn't play golf. His handlers wanted to keep him under wraps until they could get him calmed down. Wouldn't do for him to snap in public and start beating someone with a golf club.

DU logs me out so fast when I am looking for support material, adding tidbits to other peoples stories makes sense.

Ok spoken like a true Indigo Child.

Is your browser set to dump cookies every time you close it or are you not using the "remember me button" when you login?

By the way, did you notice that the POTUS is insane?

often times when I return to the logged into DU window I find that I have to login again. Now I just amass a post on an email, then copy and paste to DU after logging in. Maybe my iPad is too old or something. Copying and pasting on DU is also a nightmare.

The most beautiful thing about Emma Gonzalez and the other young eople(watching on GEM$NBComcast right now) is that she gives credit to others - including the originator of the idea of the march. She is a genuine leader.

Coming from the person who refuses to enact laws against Russia our Congress passed for interfering in this last election. Looks and sounds like moves from a puppet to me. The truth hurts him the most. He's looking so desperate.

The package of animated carrion that occupies the presidency uses a medium to express (it)self because it can't do it as an adult. Sadly many on the right who use twitter are similarly expressive.

But to call what he does during his moments of toilet rage a tweetstorm doesn't seem apropos of the medium. And to blather on and on making no sense and raging about how great he is, I can't see it as a "tweetstorm." I'd rather call his feckless, juvenile comments "birdshit" from now on - as in the lastest birdshit from trump. It seems to match the genre of the medium.

Just a thought.

Came across a book five years ago, interesting title; "The Sociopath Next-door".

It described Trumps behavior to a tee. No remorse, no feelings of regret, no compassion, no guilt, all about self, self, self ad nauseam.

Should add at the time I read the book Trump's bid for the presidency wasn't on the national horizon.
