When reading Trump's wacko comments, it helps your sanity (a bit) to remember his language code - what he speaks is only tangentially related to normal English. In his mind, America=Trump; e.g. when he says something is "terrible for our country", he really means it's terrible for Trump. So when he calls Milley a traitor, all he's really saying is that Milley is not loyal to him. Which in the mind of Trump is, of course, the ultimate capital offense.

<><> ...."the Donald" truly I suspect & believe did not study and learn his subject matter throughout his schooling years at Wharton and Military academy for HS....his education is "in name only" Ms.Asha @AshaRangappa

His vocabulary and language skills are also so limited, and always have been, that I don't suspect he can think at a level much beyond himself.

Trump needs to get locked up for the mentally unhinged tweets threatening people and stirring up his cult loonies. If any of us were to say that someone should burn down Mar A Lago or shoot the traitors from January 6th, we would have police at our doors. I don't see any difference.

Not long ago, it didn’t seem possible that a former POTUS would be indicted; but now Trump’s got four, going on five. Now, it doesn’t seem possible Trump could be “locked up,” but I’m hoping not too long from now, this also will become a reality, as a judge sends him to prison for his numerous acts of intimidation, tampering, etc. of witnesses using “truths” on his laughable, failing social media platform!

Misinformation, outright lies, Fascist propaganda.... are major components of the Trump Party ( no longer should be called the GOP)! But remember that it takes suckers for it to work!

If Millie is a witness in any of these coming court dates (how could he not be?) isn’t calling for his death witness intimidation? It seems like he is dancing on the red line Chutkhan drew already, doesn’t it?

On the “Disorder” podcast you touched on a topic which desperately needs further exploration: the institutional response to Covid, especially academic/research institutions.

Bet, Liz Cheney's cringing listening to her former colleagues' making extreme moves in Congress'. 'Let's just imagine for a minute' Liz Cheney decided to Run in the 2024 elections as a Democratic Presidential nominee' that would really play with Trump's psychology'. Are you reading the political strategy the Republicans are using', they seem to be getting more and more desperate 🤓

If I was the Democrats' I'd be deploying multiple Democratic Presidential nominees' to apply pressure on the Republicans' 'they will come hard and dirty in 2024, the Republicans winning the 2024 campaign is the only way ' Vlad ' will stay in Power in Russia.

Then' Once they've put one of their own justices in place' theirs a high probability they will use SCOTUS, to gerrymander the out come of the 2024 elections' if the Democrats win' the world is at the point of falling to fascist control 🎯
