    The events of this week are revealing with a new level of clarity that President Donald Trump and the White House have ventured far beyond unconventional levels of dishonesty. Instead, they are revealing on their part something more remarkable and challenging to our system: a kind of deep rot of bad faith — a profound contempt for democratic process and the possibility of agreement on shared reality — that is wildly beyond anything in recent memory and strains the limits of our political vocabulary.

    The precipitating moment is the clash between the White House and the FBI over the ongoing investigation of possible Russia-Trump campaign collusion, and in this context, The New York Times has some remarkable new reporting on Trump's mental state and the reaction to it of the people around him. They are absorbing the fallout, now that Trump's tweets — in which he claimed that former President Barack Obama wiretapped him and that the Trump-Russia story was "fake news" — were effectively demolished by the testimony of FBI director James Comey:

    "People close to the president say Mr. Trump's Twitter torrent had less to do with fact, strategy or tactic than a sense of persecution bordering on faith: He simply believ
    es that he was bugged in some way, by someone, and that evidence will soon appear to back him up.

    Yor regular posting on him seems to be similiar! For you seem to think if you post fake news long enough and loud enough, will become real news!

    Just think if we actually get some of his stuff done, might have to have caskets on hand for the dems passing away!

    Reminds me of the primaries. Doom and gloom for Trump at every turn. And then he won.

    better than that, Greg here is an original journolist:

    "publishing them would make it tougher to paint J-Listers as a secretive and omnipotent political cabal, rather than just a bunch of geeks and eggheads venting and arguing about politics"

    Greg Sargent writes The Plum Line blog, a reported opinion blog with a liberal slant — what you might call “opinionated reporting” from the left.
