Rachel Maddow: "ya don't let dogs drive cars". She was discussing with Lawrence O'Donnell trump's

inability to learn and his refusal to accept facts that don’t agree with his preconceived notions. I thought it was one of the most remarkable things I’ve ever heard her say.

Her ability to stay circumspect and intellectually above board; her totally accurate yet out of character assessment, had me slightly taken aback. That Donald trump’s inability to process new information in a useful, rational manner was made clear in the interview Rachel had the Bob Woodward when they were discussing his book FEAR.

The reason trump shouldn’t be allowed to be president is the same reason you don’t let dogs drive cars. Remarkable, accurate and disturbing.

sarah palin was our first real national look at someone of this mentality.

dedicated foxnews viewers refuse to accept actual facts, and they view loyalty to the right-wing viewpoint as all-important, twisting facts and logic to fit their chosen narrative.

the best they can hope for is to faithfully parrot the foxnews talking points, which they insist are "facts", regardless of how absurd they may be.

6. Even More Disturbing is the Entire GOP that Supports the Obviously Incompetent and Deranged Trump

Anyone with half a brain understands that Trump should have never been let anywhere near the Oval Office. Yet, the GOP connived to put him there to enact a corrupt agenda. Make no mistake, they are a clear and present threat to our democracy and the Constitution.

had such a smug smile on his face during the Helsinki press conference. He knew what had transpired in the private meeting with with trump and he also know he was in total control.

It's absolutely scary to think that this fool was the one representing our country's interests with a shrew character like Putin.

He needs to be gone yesterday.
