Lawrence: Trumpism means ‘never having to say you're sorry for being stupid’

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell describes how Trumpism, which “depends on stupidity,” has infected not only the Republican Party but also the Supreme Court in ways that were “unimaginable before Trump but were actually happening before Trump.”

If Donnie doesn't like Milwaukee he can always appear via video... just like the meeting with his probation officer...
Vote Blue 💙 while you can!

Hawley as a Supreme Court justice. Now there's a frightening thought.

Everyone should see this episode. Lawrence, this is one of your best episodes. You lay out and expose this nonsense with unparalleled clarity. Well done.

[purplemajesty]

That last line about Josh Hawley being put on the supreme court is digusting and a total nightmare, but Trump would do it, along with even more unqualified people across the country.

FDR is one of my favorite POTUSes of past years because he collected stamps (as do I), he was knowledgeable, he was independent despite being confined to a wheelchair, he got the nation out of the Great Depression--and he was a BLUE (Democrat). Vote BLUE!! It's the right thing to DO!!

I live in Missouri the state Hawley disgraced on J/6 then to watch the coward run through the halls after he helped incite the attack. Vote 💙Missouri bring back patriotism and sanity to our state.

Anita Hill told the truth. Impeach Thomas!

We had a president who couldn't stand. FDR. Standing for 90 minutes, or probably more than than 10 minutes, would have been impossible for FDR! It's not Bidens' legs I care about, it's what is in his mind and his heart that I'm voting for.

Nobody puts the finger on it like Lawrence. He takes my breath away.

People with abnormally low self-esteem &/or victim complex are horrifying and dangerous. Especially narcissists.

😓I always thought the Republicans I KNEW were being FACETIOUS they were FASCISTS, this whole time. 💔

This quote needs to be everywhere!!!!
"trumpism means - never having to say you're sorry for being stupid". So true, and so incredibly frustrating for the sane.

Josh Hawley is a Insurrectionist and deserves Prison.

The question is who paid off the over million dollar debt of Justice Beer Guzzler Kavanaugh.

[lisandroesterga]

Josh Hawley, the human embodiment of cowardice.
