Also, Jesse Plemons, in Digger, Bugonia, and Civil War has completed a trio of roles that together speak to the weird, mutating shape of 21st century fascism better than those of any other performer I know.

28. This week, he said, "I can do whatever I want," in the same breath as "I stopped the total obliteration of the world," as if he were a superhero.

25. With the dam heaving under pressure, critics are pushing harder. Lawrence O'Donnell might have gone farther than anyone so far. He said Thursday:

"If the president of the United States is insane, that is the biggest news of the day or any day. That is what will live in history. That is what historians will devote their attention to if the president of the United States is insane. If the president of the United States’ mind is crumbling before our very eyes, that is the most important story of the day because everything else follows from that, everything!”

23. "There were swaths of empty seats at the 10,000-capacity athletic center where Mr Trump spoke on Friday," she wrote. "In Ohio a day later, several areas of an upper deck were empty by the time Mr Trump finished speaking at a 4,500-capacity high school student activity center."

21. "It’s almost unbelievable that this man is the president," Amy McGrath wrote on Twitter.

"He rarely finishes a coherent thought. At one point, he actually says that all of his decisions 'are correct ones.' His explanations of the national debt and basic economics are astonishingly muddled. He makes false claim after false claim with absolute confidence. I can't tell if he just doesn't care that he's lying or actually believes the lies himself. Reading the transcript — not watching him, not hearing the delivery, just reading his actual words — is jarring."

20. Last week, for instance, Time released the transcript of a long interview. For some, it revealed a broken brain. It raised the question as to whether Trump can tell the difference between fact and fiction.

BREAKING: NEW YORK (AP) - Judge orders Trump administration to cancel taxpayer-funded TV ads that promote his political message.

Can we all stipulate that anyone who thought Kimberly Guilfoyle would be a good spouse lacks the judgment to credibly run for president in 2028?

Another bad report for Kim Guilfoyle: According to an audio recording reviewed by WSJ, Guilfoyle boasted at Davos about her close ties to two Greek tycoons and said they were bankrolling her high-rolling trips around the world.

📌I just don't think a big enough deal is being made that Kimberly Guilfoyle is the ambassador to fucking anything.

I mean Guilfoyle grift IS bad but so is shaking down companies for "golden shares," BS "settlements" from media/law firms/academia, aggressive demands for donations to the library and ballroom, and all the crypto/foreign billions for the Trump/Witkoff/Lutnick sons... But who is keeping track.

The materials that WSJ has published are probably just the tip of the iceberg. I think the stuff here is perfect for a multipart series on FX or Netflix on the life of Kimberley Guilfoyle, a story of bad moral choices and degeneracy you can track in her face.

The Kimberly Guilfoyle situation could get interesting quickly. Probably the reason she GOT the Ambassadorship is to keep her quiet while Jr looted things.

She knows a good deal of incriminating shit.

Q: President Trump said that you and Ken Paxton should debate... What are your thoughts on that? James Talarico: I agree with President Trump. I think Ken Paxton should debate. I know Ken Paxton has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.
