Hey comrade. Your pedophile president is good at other stuff too. Not just destroying everything he touches and molesting children. He's also good at starving them. And making sure they have no health care. And so on and so forth. Girl, you sure can pickem.

Interesting take on Trump's descent into hubris, and it begins with a powerful description of hubris ... and how Trump checks all the boxes.
Barnes notes that all of Trump's foreign policy disasters started right after Epstein allegations bubbled up again.
He describes how Trump's support of genocidal Israel is splitting the MAGA base, and how any advisor, even low level, who pushes back on that support is excised from government.
He lays fault primarily on
"Swampy" Susie Wiles, Trump's Chief of Staff, who always shepherds in corporate donors but leaves Trump's base out in the cold,
Scotty "Soros" Bessent, who is close to Alex Soros and who is constantly feeding Trump misinformation about the Russian economy (on the verge of collapse), China (wont play the "rare earth" card) and tariffs (the Supreme Court will find in your favor), who neutered DOGE before it could get to the Federal Reserve and IRS reform
"Narco" Marco Rubio, who is constantly pushing the neocon line, and who occupies both State Dept and National Security Advisor posts, a position where he, too, can feed false info to Trump.
He blames Trump for appointing them and, worse, listening to them because they feed into Trump's hubris.
According to Barnes, this past election was a MAGA disaster, not because Dems took top line elections but because anger against Trump ran so deep it showed in elections all the way down to dog catcher. A giant repudiation of Trumpism by both MAGA bases and by everyone making less than 100K.
Trump has good faith advisors
JD Vance
Tulsi Gabbard
Robert Kennedy
Elbridge Colby
What Trump could do to turn the ship around: about 1:28:00
Barnes names names, names court cases, names decisions. He's IMHO hard to listen to, a bit like "drinking from a fire hose" but very real-world and based on specific facts.

Friday Night Meltdown: Trump Yanks MTG Endorsement, Mocks Massie's Remarriage After Wife's Death
Saturday, Nov 15, 2025 - 04:35 AM
Capping a week in which he faced a coordinated blitz by Democrats and allied journalists working to implicate him in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, President Trump had a social media meltdown Friday night, lashing out at two GOP representatives who both enjoy deep national support among conservatives. Trump withdrew his endorsement of one and stooped to ridiculing the other for re-marrying 15 months after the death of his wife. It's likely no coincidence that both reps -- Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie -- were among four Republicans who signed a discharge petition to force a floor vote on a bill that would compel the DOJ to release all its Epstein files. Trump and GOP leaders on Capitol Hill have opposed that effort.
Massie isn't just a signatory of that petition, but its principal champion, having introduced it this summer along with Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna. When Speaker Mike Johnson finally brought the House back into session this week after nearly two months of idleness, Massie secured the required 218th signature on the Epstein-file discharge petition, a parliamentary avenue that overrides Johnson's ability to determine which bills are voted upon. When the vote on Massie's bill takes place on Tuesday, a far larger number of Republicans are expected to vote for it, rather than face subsequent attacks for voting to keep the Epstein files under wraps.
Posting on his Truth Social account, Trump's first attack targeted Massie, whom the president has repeatedly denigrated going back to his first administration. The twice-divorced and alleged-repeat-philanderer Trump suggested Massie remarried too quickly after his wife died in June 2024; the libertarian-minded Kentuckian married a former Rand Paul staffer last month. Trump implied the marriage was hurting Massie's 2026 political prospects, claiming "polls" give Massie "less than an 8% chance" of being re-elected. ZeroHedge was unable to find a published poll that aligns with that characterization. Massie won his last three primaries handily, amassing more than 75% of the vote in each one.
That's SECOND- and THGR- level "argument": insulting people based on projection. Yanno, like SECOND calling others "liars" and THGR calling people "stupid trolls".
Hey, SECOND and THGR, how does it feel to be just like Trump?

Not long after his Massie post, Trump dropped a nearly-300-word rant assailing "Wacky Marjorie," and announcing he was withdrawing his "support and endorsement" of Greene. Trump claimed that Greene's complaints about Trump's policies spring from when Trump sent her a poll "stating that she should not run" for governor or the Senate, adding that he's heard Greene is "upset that I don't return her phone calls anymore." The president said he stands ready to give the "right" Republican primary challenger of Greene his "Complete and Unyielding Support."
Greene quickly fired back with a lengthy post of her own, saying, "President Trump just attacked me and lied about me. I haven't called him at all." She said that, earlier on Friday, she'd sent Trump text messages urging him to "lean into" the release of the Epstein files, telling him that Bill Clinton appeared on Epstein's flight logs "like 26 times," and that "Epstein was the spider that wove the web of the deep state." Greene included screen shots of her text messages, and added:
"Of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next weeks vote to release the Epstein files. It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out tNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
Trump is losing his mind over Epstein.
If I were in his shoes, I'd be thinking
"Hey, I was the one who started MAGA! I started an international nationalist movement! I suffered from the RUSSIA!RUSSIA! hoax, targeted persecution and prosecution, getting shot...!
It was a 12-year hard, existential struggle to get where I am today! I DESERVE credit! I deserve the Nobel Prize! Don't I get any leeway ?“
Problem is, when you paint yourself as savior, people come to expect it.

I'm really hoping he just says...
"Fine! You want it now? Here it is! Everything. I was going to wait until the election and bury the fucking Democratic Party with it, but you ruined that plan. Way to go America."
He's not in it. If he were, the Democratic Party would have nailed him to a cross with it.
The only way he is in there and that didn't happen is if a lot of "important" Democrats were on it too and they didn't want to out themselves. If that's the case, this is a really stupid fucking thing for them to be doing right now, pushing for them to be released. They might just get what they want. And even if Trump is on it, all the people who were protecting Trump by protecting themselves are all going to be fed to the Public on a silver platter.
And since I don't trust either side at all, it wouldn't surprise me if a "full" release means that they'd throw Trump under the bus, but most of the Republicans who took place in the "festivities" would be protected while all of the Democrats who partook have their heads put on a pike.
It wouldn't surprise me none if that's the way it went down now.
Democrats are the definition of stupidity.
Their stratagy for decades now was to take full control of the media and the narrative, and boy did it really seem to be working for a while there. But they started believing all of their own bullshit when they saw all of their opinions constantly confirmed by the media who was in lock-step with every plan and agenda under the sun. And in their hubris, they allowed all of the smart ones with old-school experience to die off without teaching any of the young little shits anything about strategy. Democrats have no idea how to strategize or think about potentiality in 2025. They're simply incapable of it because they've spent the last 25 years or so believing they're right about everything and that they're the good guys (and that the good guys always win).
They're finished.
And if they Finish Trump with Epstein, this will go down in the books as the new textbook definition of a Pyrrhic victory. There will be no Democrat Party remaining to fight against JD Vance.

Well Dems are playing a game, where they're trying to selectively hang Trump with Epstein and avoid being tarred with ACTUAL RELEASE.
Trump is calling for investigation of Dems like Bill Clinton, hoping to turn the tables with HIS selective release... without getting tarred at the same time.

Yeah. And if he's guilty, he's playing this all wrong. If he's innocent, a lot of Democrats and Republicans might just end up fucking themselves by pushing this too far and he just decides to say fuck it call everyone's bluff and bury them all with it early, without bothering to make any attempt to shield any Republicans either. Majorie Taylor Green knows right now how giddy Trump gets talking about primarying Republicans who don't agree with him. How much do you think he'd enjoy burying any Republican who voted to release the files earlier than he was planning on it?
I'd say he should shut the fuck up about it, but then again, that wouldn't be at all like Trump behavior and I think that people on the Left would be using that against him too. "Why is Trump so quiet? Trump always has something to say about everything? Why the silence now? He must be a kid-fucker, otherwise he'd be denying it and calling us evil."
I'm just hoping that I'm right, because it's really the only way we're actually going to get any answers, EVER. If Trump isn't planning on releasing them, then it's going to be our great grandchildren receiving the unsealed files, EXTREMELY heavily redacted just like our so-called JFK dump that to my knowledge hasn't answered anybody's questions that they've been asking my entire life.
