I think Hitler had a Minister for Propaganda. Damned little difference between that job and White house press secretary.
Paul Joseph Goebbels 1897-1945
Chancellor of Nazi Germany, Reich Plenipotentiary for Total War, Reichsminister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda
Donald would have found him useful.

adjective: amoral
lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something.
Trump has always been totally amoral.
He genuinely doesn't understand or care about fragile concepts such as "moral" or "immoral".
This gives him total freedom to indulge his narcissism, without any inconvenient regrets.
He will not, and cannot, restrain his ego. Why should he?
He will not stop until he dies, or dementia disables him.
Or until Congress stops him. ...
He will not stop.

kingdragonfly:
Real Time with Bill Maher - Bill recaps the top stories of the week, including increased tensions with Iran and a shocking admission from President Trump.
A good monologue but ...
... what is truly shocking is that Trump's shocking admission is no longer shocking - it is par for the course.
Shock fatigue helps to protect Trump from his own stupidity and malice. 😑

The Washington Post - GOP in disarray as budget impasse threatens shutdown, deep cuts - and default
June 15 at 3:45 PM
Senate Republicans and the Trump administration are struggling to reach an agreement on a path forward on critical budget and spending issues, threatening not only another government shutdown and deep spending cuts but a federal default that could hit the economy hard. ...
Trump and Congress face a trio of difficult budget issues:
- Congress must pass, and Trump must sign, funding legislation by Oct. 1 to avoid a new shutdown.
- They need to raise the federal debt limit around the same time, according to the latest estimates.
- And by year’s end, they also need to agree on how to lift austere budget caps that will otherwise snap into place and slash $125 billion from domestic and military programs. ...
Fitch Ratings warned earlier this year that a shutdown coupled with a battle over the debt limit might damage the country’s Triple-A credit rating. ...
And it all comes against the backdrop of an intensely partisan debate over impeachment and a looming presidential campaign, which compound the difficulty of reaching agreement.
The result is a messy stew of issues that has longtime lawmakers questioning whether Congress and the Trump White House are up to the job of steering the nation away from fiscal calamity. ...

freitasm: Oh yes... Something they had negotiated months ago but Donald built a fake crisis with a promise of tariffs just so he could then say he was s hero.
Fake hero, as usual.

The New York Times - Trump Campaign to Purge Pollsters After Leak of Dismal Results
June 16, 2019
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s campaign has decided to purge some of its pollsters after a leak of dismal internal polls for the president that he denied existed.
Just two days before the president is set to kick off his bid for re-election, a top adviser said on Sunday that the campaign was cutting ties with three of its five pollsters to prevent further disclosure of survey data. ...
In recent weeks, Mr. Trump has angrily denied receiving polls showing him losing or instructing aides to deny them.
“Those polls don’t exist,” Mr. Trump told ABC News in an interview broadcast on Thursday. “I just had a meeting with somebody that’s a pollster and I’m winning everywhere, so I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
But on Friday, ABC reported specific information from that supposedly fake polling.
The data obtained by ABC [dated late March 2019] showed Mr. Biden leading Mr. Trump 55 percent to 39 percent in Pennsylvania, 51 percent to 41 percent in Wisconsin and by 7 points in Florida.
The president was leading in Texas, a bulwark for Republican presidential candidates for four decades, by just two points. ...
The Donald is in denial again! (remember London?)

SCIENTISTS SAY EARTH ENDANGERED BY NEW STRAIN OF FACT-RESISTANT HUMANS
MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report)—Scientists have discovered a powerful new strain of fact-resistant humans who are threatening the ability of Earth to sustain life, a sobering new study reports.
The research, conducted by the University of Minnesota, identifies a virulent strain of humans who are virtually immune to any form of verifiable knowledge, leaving scientists at a loss as to how to combat them.
“These humans appear to have all the faculties necessary to receive and process information,” Davis Logsdon, one of the scientists who contributed to the study, said. “And yet, somehow, they have developed defenses that, for all intents and purposes, have rendered those faculties totally inactive.”
More worryingly, Logsdon said, “As facts have multiplied, their defenses against those facts have only grown more powerful.”
While scientists have no clear understanding of the mechanisms that prevent the fact-resistant humans from absorbing data, they theorize that the strain may have developed the ability to intercept and discard information en route from the visual and auditory receptors to the brain. “The normal functions of human consciousness have been completely nullified,” Logsdon said.
While reaffirming the gloomy assessments of the study, Logsdon held out hope that the threat of fact-resistant humans could be mitigated in the future. “Our research is very preliminary, but it’s possible that they will become more receptive to facts once they are in an environment without food, water, or oxygen,” he said.
Trump crowned? No faux King way!
