I hope this encourages more in the GOP;

“ On Thursday, Johnson made clear his opposition to the House’s bill. “I couldn’t care less if he’s upset,” Johnson told reporters about President Donald Trump, also noting he just recently got reelected and can’t be threatened with a primary until 2028.”

Mediaite · Republican Senator Slaps Down Trump’s ‘Completely Unacceptable’ Spending Bill On Fox NewsBy Alex Griffing

#TFG #Narcissist #Resist

"Many dismiss these reversals as mere incompetence or poor strategy — and it’s true that narcissism is associated with more impulsive, error-prone decision-making. But anyone familiar with narcissistic abuse understands the deeper maneuver: Whether consciously or not, narcissists hold power by keeping others in a state of psychological whiplash. And it works.

At its core, emotional control is the narcissist’s primary goal: to protect a fragile sense of self-importance and entitlement by maintaining the grand illusion that supports it — without empathy for others. While it’s important to note that narcissistic pathology by no means equates to abuse, there are more aggressive versions that use confusion, despair and emotional bonds like loyalty to control how others think and feel, secure a constant flow of admiration or reactivity, shield themselves from shame and keep others attached — even against their best interests."

HuffPost · I’m A Psychologist Who Specializes In Narcissists. Here’s What We Need To Do To Stop Trump.By Jocelyn Sze

The chaos is the point. The distractions are the point. The arguments over taking the gift of a 747 from a known supporter of terrorism is the point. Elon Musk stepping back while DOGE now operates in the shadows is the point. #TFG's implanted diseases destroying our institutions from the inside is the point. If I make more points, you'll need to set aside the afternoon... Suffice it to say, there are countless more things going on.

If it's dumb and pointless and a talking point then it's a distraction from something far more distructive they don't want you to notice. mstdn.social/@GottaLaff/114535

Mastodon 🐘Laffy (@GottaLaff@mstdn.social)Via Sherrilyn Ifill: This is HUGE. For those wondering why due process is essential for EVERYONE. This is why! ‪David Bier‬: Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

I feel like, as far as the orange felon goes, people -- not just the media -- are failing to heed that age-old internet advice:

Don't feed the troll.

Just ignore the irrelevant attacks on celebrities, don't repeat them to make fun of him. Pay attention to, and highlight, the actual _things_ going on, such as the mind-boggling corruption, ludicrous abuse of power, and performative cruelty.

A comment on line regarding Bruce Springsteen speaking out against #TFG You cannot make this up. These are real, live, thinking people.

"Bruce will be asked next year why he's not participating in the semiquincentenial (250) celebrations, which he won't be invited to because of his anti-Trump sentiments. He'll have to say he doesn't agree with Trump policies, which will play poorly after another 1/2 year of accomplishments, and more than likely, a Nobel. Or, he can say that he was wrong, and by extension, so were all Hollywood and liberal bicoastal elites. Both of these will play poorly, especially a couple months before midterm elections."

A Nobel prize????
