Above all, Trump wanted to be a winner. History granted his wish. He is the first president in the 245-year life of his country to have been impeached twice. By that standard, he won the title of Worst American President (AWP) — worse than any of the 44 presidents who preceded him. AWP rhymes with gawp, and that’s what he also wanted: To be stared at, talked about, catered to, the center of fawning attention, unforgettably present, dominating the news, astride the world in which the news is made. He wanted applause. His ravenous insecurity — narcissism — inflated his ego to continental size. In effect, in his authoritarian imagination, the “extremely stable genius” that he called himself deserved to be the indispensable “me” in “America,” without which the country’s name and the country itself would crumble.

CNN host Brian Stelter called Donald Trump Jr.’s comparison of him to a gender-neutral Mr. Potato Head “more BS fuel for the culture war” during a Sunday morning “Reliable Sources” monologue. “If Hasbro really wanted a gender-neutral Mr. Potato Head so badly, they should just slap a picture of CNN’s Brian Stelter on the cover of their next potato,” Trump Jr. said during his Friday Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC) speech . “What? They don’t call him Mr. Potato Head for nothing!” “On Friday I was about to go get dinner for my kids when Donald Trump Jr. attacked me in his speech at CPAC,” Stelter said. “Something about me looking like a gender-neutral potato head.” WATCH: Hasbro announced last week that the company would be dropping the conventional title “Mr.” from its Potato Head line of toys in an effort to be gender-inclusive. Stelter related how he thought of “some really clever ways to replay, some way to go viral” as tweets about … [Read more...] about ‘More BS Fuel For The Culture War’: Brian Stelter Blows Off Donald Trump Jr’s Comparison Of Him To A Gender Neutral Potato

VP Elect Kamala Harris Source: Office of Senator Kamala Harris, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons As a teacher of writing and rhetoric at CU Boulder, I can tell you that rhetoric matters. What people say and don't say matters. Many of you readers know, as I do, that if you want to be healthy and happy, you need to reduce the volume of negative, hateful, divisive, and critical rhetoric you subject yourself to from those around you. The ability to divorce yourself from toxic sources of negative expression is a sign of strength and, indeed, health. The media have done a very good job over the last four years of informing us about what Mr. Trump tweets, says, and thinks. It’s time to stop. For about a month now, I've been dying for people in the media, on both sides, on all sides, to stop talking about Mr. Trump. Or at least start talking about him a lot less. It’s time to shift the conversation from what Mr. Trump tweeted, said, or did today to what President-Elect … [Read more...] about People in the Media: Please Stop Talking About Donald Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Dublin), who served as a House manager in Donald Trump’s last impeachment, filed a lawsuit Friday against the former president, his son, lawyer and a Republican congressman whose actions he charges led to January’s insurrection. The East Bay Democrat’s suit was filed Friday in federal court in Washington. It alleges a conspiracy to violate civil rights, along with negligence, inciting a riot and inflicting emotional distress. It follows a similar suit filed by Rep. Bennie Thompson last month in an attempt to hold the former president accountable in some way for his actions Jan. 6, following his Senate acquittal.

Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz called Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell's lawsuit against Donald Trump a "political stunt" with "mind-boggling implications." Speaking to Newsmax in a video shared to Twitter on Saturday, Dershowitz likened the lawsuit to "suing God for writing the Bible." "It certainly is a political stunt, the implications of it are mind-boggling. That means you can sue Black Lives Matter for any violence that ensued from their platform," he said. "I guess the final implication is you can sue God for writing the Bible, because the Bible led to the crusades and other violence. And you could sue Imam's for making speeches in churches and in mosques and synagogues," he added. Dershowitz's comments come after Swalwell, a California congressman, filed a lawsuit on Friday against Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL), for inciting the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. The civil lawsuit was filed in federal court … [Read more...] about Eric Swalwell’s Lawsuit Against Trump Has ‘Mind-Boggling’ Implications, Says Alan Dershowitz
