Haters spreading hate on the haters in a thread designed to spread hate......yet purple trophies are required in the spirit of good will.  All those haters giving out rubies are essentially mocking the author of this thread....bad form in my opinion.

Haters will always hate.........they all have done pretty well for a long time..........I take nothing as a "mocking"......just like to see people get along...........Rubies are one thing........what has really bothered me though in some of the other threads were the personal attacks made by members against each other........

 

So hopefully people will get back to the PURPLE HAZE concept.........ahhhh......those were the daze..........(yes pun intended)

Never-Trumpers assess his mental health: 'His condition is getting worse'

  David Knowles  Editor  Yahoo News•March 18, 2019

 

 

 

Donald Trump’s most recent eruption of invective on Twitter has some Republicans — admittedly, long-standing critics — questioning not just his policies and temperament but his mental health.

In a notable string of tweets posted over the weekend, including 29 tweets and retweets on Sunday, the president attacked Google, General Motors, the United Auto Workers, Hillarious Clinton, the Paris climate accord, France, “the Fake News media,” Fox News anchors Shepard Smith, Arthel Neville and Leland Vittert, the late Sen. John McCain, the special counsel’s investigation into his 2016 presidential campaign’s ties with Russia, and a rerun of “Saturday Night Live” from December. Along the way, he found time to retweet conspiracy theorists and demand that Fox News host Jeanine Pirro be reinstated despite her glaringly anti-Muslim commentary.

All of this led George Conway, the husband of Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, to take a not-so-subtle swipe at the president by posting sections of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to his Twitter feed, then concluding with a harsh assessment.

Asked if she agreed with her husband, Kellyanne Conway told reporters Monday, “No, I don’t share those concerns.”

Other Republicans do, however, including political commentator and editor Bill Kristol, who pointed to the latest invective on Twitter as a giant warning sign.

To Republicans who've been inclined to acquiesce in a Trump re-nomination in 2020: Read his tweets this morning. Think seriously about his mental condition and psychological state. Then tell me you're fine with him as president of the United States for an additional four years.

John McCain’s daughter Meghan, a co-host on “The View,” limited her criticism of the president to his comments on her father.

“He spends his weekend obsessing over great men because — he knows it and I know it and all of you know it — he will never be a great man. My father was his kryptonite in life and he is his kryptonite in death,” McCain said Monday on “The View,” adding, “Your life is spent on your weekends not with your family, not with your friends, but obsessing, obsessing over great men you could never live up to. That tells you everything you need to know about his pathetic life right now.”

At the Washington Post, conservative op-ed columnist Jennifer Rubin attempted to trace the origin of what she sees as Trump’s decline.

“Since President Trump’s firing of James B. Comey as FBI director and the appointment of a special counsel, Trump’s mental and emotional health has seemed to fray,” Rubin wrote Monday. “The pace of lies and nonsensical accusations, the resort to conspiracy theories and refusal to conduct himself like an adult (let alone the president) often pick up in the wake of bad news from the special counsel and widespread criticism of the president’s unhinged behavior.”

Rick Santorum Wants Trump To Email A Therapist, Not Tweet, He Tells Anderson Cooper

Mary Papenfuss,HuffPost Tue, Mar 19 4:45 AM EDT

 

Donald Trump offered up an unhinged tweetstorm over the weekend, and a former Republican senator has some advice for the president the next time he has that urge.

Rick Santorum, usually a Trump defender, said on “Anderson Cooper 360°” on Monday that he hopes the president will “send emails to a therapist” instead of tweeting.

In a flurry of rants, Trump accused “Saturday Night Live” of “Russian collusion,” blasted Fox News anchors who criticize him, demanded the network “bring back” Jeanine Pirro, and railed against the late Sen. John McCain — again — for the Steele dossier. The one thing he didn’t mention was sympathy for the victims of the attack on two New Zealand mosques that killed at least 50 people.

Cooper asked Santorum if someone’s dad or uncle sent out 29 tweets or retweets in one day “wouldn’t their family be a little concerned — or, like, have a “Twitter-vention?”

“Yeah, there’s nothing I’m going to do to defend the president in this type of activity,” Santorum said.

“This is his time just to sort of let it all out,” he added. “He sees Twitter as his outlet to do that. I wish he wouldn’t do it. I wish he’d ... send emails to ... a therapist, as opposed to sending tweets to the general public.

Donald Trump Just Picked A Laughingstock For A Huge Federal Reserve Job

For years, the economic commentariat has enjoyed a runningjoke: Stephen Moore.

Moore, you see, has made a career of advancing various right-wing political priorities by dressing up as an economist and saying things about money and numbers in print and on TV. Unfortunately, almost nothing he says is true.

Moore is so bad that an editor at the Kansas City Star once refused to run literally anything he ever wrote, because a piece Moore had previously published in the paper was so littered with basic factual errors. He’s a living embodiment of the worst elements of the economics profession ― a man who doesn’t care about the truth, abuses statistics, makes outlandish predictions, smears his opponents and never pays any professional price.

Moore is constantly, laughably wrong. In 1993, he said President Bill Clinton’s slight income tax increase for the wealthiest Americans would “torpedo” the economy. In 2009, he warned that federal budget deficits and the Federal Reserve’s low interest rates were a recipe for hyperinflation, and then doubled down on that prediction. In 2010, he said surging prices would send the price of gold to $2,000 an ounce, as investors fled the worthless dollar for precious metals. None of these things ever happened. He spent much of 2018 applauding President Donald Trump’s supposed efforts to “shoot for” zero tariffs, while Trump actually imposed hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs.

Moore, unscathed, has bounced from the Cato Institute to the Club for Growth to the Heritage Foundation, happily absorbing the excess capital of conservative think-tank donors in the market for a white guy with the courage to advocate tax cuts. On Friday, in what would be the economist’s greatest, most frightening achievement, Trump announced that he will nominate Moore to the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors.

The Fed is an important institution, responsible for managing the American economy to ensure “maximum employment” and “reasonable price stability.” As the most powerful bank regulator in the country, it’s also responsible for preventing a financial crisis. There are a lot of problems with the way the Fed currently operates, but none of them will be solved by adding a clown to the board of governors.

Prior to the Trump presidency, Moore’s most prominent policymaking experience was a disastrous tax experiment in Kansas. Along with conservative economist Art Laffer, Moore helped then-Gov. Sam Brownback (R) design a program to slash income taxes on the richest families in the state and eliminate taxes altogether for partnerships, LLCs, S-corporations and sole proprietorships ― essentially small businesses, but also hedge funds, law firms, doctors, people with book deals and other varieties of wealthy persons.

Moore predicted the tax cuts would bring an “immediate and lasting boost” to the state’s economy. Instead, they created a disaster. As the Center on Budget Policy and Priorities has detailed, Kansas state revenues fell $700 million overnight, the state’s credit rating was downgraded, and Brownback began slashing basic social services to balance the budget. Job growth stalled out at less than half the national average. To salvage the state budget, lawmakers cut education funding so severely that some schools began to close early, and the state’s Supreme Court ruled that the government was violating the state constitution. After five years of economic misfortune, Kansas’ conservative legislature reversed the tax cuts in 2017. The whole experiment is almost universally regarded as a calamity.

It’s not exactly a secret that the political operatives who hire economists in Washington don’t actually care if economists get things right. They care if economists are willing to say the right things, support party policy and speak the language of prestigious professionals to at least give that policy the pretense of legitimacy.

But typically economists at least pretend to care about things other than, say, raw partisan advantage. When Congress was considering Trump’s tax cuts in late 2017, Moore ― who never saw a tax cut he didn’t like ― was enthusiastic. But the reasons he gave to Bloomberg’s Sahil Kapur didn’t have much to do with economic performance.

“It’s death to Democrats,” Moore crowed. “They go after state and local taxes, which weakens public employee unions. They go after university endowments, and universities have become playpens of the left. And getting rid of the [individual] mandate is to eventually dismantle Obamacare” ― by sparking “a death spiral” for the law, he enthused.

Moore’s nomination to the Fed, then, will be proof that conservative donors don’t have to keep bothering with the charade of independent expertise any more. If a hack like Stephen Moore can land a job at the Fed, why keep funding all these think tanks and policy shops?

 

 

Another great hire?
