« Donald Trump is going to -- if he starts losing -- he's going to take everyone down with him. I mean psychologically that's what he's going to do. He's not going to want to -- he's never going to support somebody who beats him.

So, it's sort of a difficult situation for the Republicans. They have this man who needs to win at all costs basically to stay out of prison, and at the same time he's such a personality. He's a narcissistic sociopath, and he -- he is not going to let anyone else win without trying to destroy them. »

— Conservative anti-MAGA contributor to The Atlantic George Conway on CNN in conversation with Jim Acosta and David Gergen.

Trump has a Götterdämmerung aspect about him. If he can't win then he's going to take everything and everybody down with him.

Trump almost certainly won't lose the Iowa caucuses. But if his totals are below expectations, he will lash out at everybody imaginable.

George Conway wins the internet today.

When Annie Asks ...

Almost everyone has had something to say about the Supreme Court and the case to decide whether Trump should have full immunity from consequences for his crimes in inciting an attempted coup on 06 January 2021.  Although the Court has not ruled yet, nor likely will before late June, certain Justices gave the impression while hearing the evidence that they will likely grant Trump’s three wishes,…

That Trump lacks rudimentary maturity is not exactly news. But it's helpful to be reminded of his behavior because it seems to be acceptable to the people who support him.

Roberta Kaplan says Trump threw papers across table at Mar-a-Lago deposition because his legal team agreed to feed her lunch

Attorney Roberta Kaplan said former President Donald Trump threw papers across a table and stormed off during a deposition at Mar-a-Lago after learning that his legal team had agreed to provide her lunch. Kaplan, who has represented clients in high-profile cases against Trump, including E. Jean Carroll, said on an episode of the “George Conway Explains it All (to Sarah Longwell)” podcast recorded Thursday that she rejected the former president’s request that they work through a lunch break because he believed the deposition was “a waste of my time.” “And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it,” Kaplan told Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative attorney George Conway, a longtime Trump critic. “And he said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?’” Kaplan said she told him that his attorneys had “graciously offered to provide” her team with lunch — a common civil practice between opposing legal teams. “At which point there was a huge pile of documents, exhibits, sitting in front of him, and he took the pile and he just threw it across the table. And stormed out of the room,” Kaplan shared, adding that Trump specifically yelled at his lawyer Alina Habba for providing them lunch. “He really yelled at Alina for that. He was so mad at Alina,” she said.

Most preschoolers would probably regard Trump's tantrums as inappropriate. He seems forever psychologically stuck in the "terrible twos".

Trump's behavior at the deposition was in character with him throwing ketchup and other food at the walls. In the words of George Conway, "He's a pig.".

When he's in prison I expect him to use his poop to write MAGA slogans on the wall of his cell.

Someone's going to write a book called "The Stupid Century", and they're going to make hundreds of dollars off of it.

Raw Story

According to former the White House counsel who served under President Richard Nixon, Donald Trump can expect Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) to haunt whatever political aspirations he may still have long after the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection is disbanded.

Appearing on CNN's "New Day" with so-hosts John Berman, Brianna Keilar and co-panelist Georg Conway, attorney John Dean was asked what impact that the televised hearings will have on Donald Trump's future political plans.

After Conway explained, "We are fortunate today in this country that Donald Trump is an incompetent and that he basically, you know, he was just flailing about and didn't know what he was doing and was just randomly doing things and listening to crazy people and we're very fortunate in a lot of ways over his four-year term that he was incompetent," host Keilar turned to Dean.

"How vulnerable, though, is the system, John, even to an incompetent attempt?" she asked.

"The system is very fragile," Dean replied. "We assume it's much stronger than it really is."

"If Trump runs again, I actually think that the weapon that's going to go against him at the Republican Primary level is Liz Cheney," he continued. "I don't think she's finished with this. If he can get that far, she will take him on because she's got a world of information and it's not all out. "
