POTUS 45.40: If You Need a Lawyer, Don't Hire Michael Cohen

Slightly off-topic, but yes, marketing can absolutely be scarily on point. So much so that Target's internal marketing has the ability to pinpoint the shopping habits of a new expectant mom long before it may be obvious.

(And here's the NY Times article the Forbes article is based upon)

I love Psych stuff. They've been developing this science for yrs and now they can predict just about anything as long as they know the population. Speaking as someone who dealt with patients for a few decades I can attest that much of what people do is very predictable. And also there are things that are not malleable about them. It is a bit mind boggling to know they can do it for populations of people rather than a small group.

The telling part is that the Trumpers are so stupid that they legitimately think it might not have occurred to a NYT writer that Trump would like her better if she wrote nice thimgs about Trump. Don't know the writer myself, but I am guessing she could have figured that out on her own.

Except from Jeff Pearlman’s book about the USFL (“Football for a Buck”) is a chapter about Trump: “Bombastic from the start, a jerk on purpose”.
And, in response to Trump’s whining about the NFL and Nike:

When <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realdonaldtrump</a> owned the New Jersey Generals, he sat for the anthem routinely—to do business, to talk via phone. This ALL dates back to his need to get an NFL franchise, and the league smacking him away.

And his failed bid for the Bills franchise...he does not like the NFL.

Watching Pence being interviewed on Fox News Sunday. He has his lips wrapped around Trump so hard it's amazing.

That excerpt of Red Don as football owner plays exactly like Red Don as president.

When has a POTUS ever been so insecure that he is still obsessing about the results of an election even 2 months after being President?

I thought the interviews of Conway the Pence making their ways around the Sunday shows were as pointless as they usually are. None of the hosts were particularly tough on either, despite both telling multiple lies and generally using the interviews as platforms to push the daily trump agenda of continuing to tell the same lies over and over and over. At this point positions are virtually 100% hardened. If you are in the trump camp you believe everything trump or one of his appointed minions says (until he or she leaves the trump solar system and begin to speak the occasional truth) and if you are not you know they can do little more than lie. What is the point of giving Pence 10 or 15 minutes of basically uninterrupted TV time to tell us that trump is the greatest president in his lifetime and one of the best ever. trump voters already know their savior can do no wrong and is the one person out of the 7 + billion on Earth who can make politics work for the little guy.

It's all part of him knowing his election is likely illegitimate and he's too ignorant of our system to know that there is no mechanism for turning over an election, even if it was proven in a court of law to be illegitimate. He's afraid someone will come take the toys away from him and send him to bed. While his behavior is not evidence of him knowing of and participating in electoral wrongdoing, it is an obvious sign he knows there is enough dirt out there that in normal times would get him impeached and even convicted. It's too bad the republican party has almost completely abdicated their responsibilities to the Constitution and the American people.

Pence is supposed to be a Christian. I often wonder how he reconciles telling obvious lies with his faith. And how he reconciles the policies and actions that are most definitely not WWJD.

Well that and it is part of his personality disorder (or 2 or 3)

It was Pence and Tony Perkins who came up with the "no trans people in the military."

No, it's not that. It's just his basic insecurity. He needs approval, constantly, for everything he does. He has to have the most votes, the biggest margin ever, the yugest Inauguration crowd, no president has ever accomplished as much as he has, his rallies are full, with 20,000 more outside dying to get in. etc. I mean, he's "your favorite president ever".

Like most bullies, he's completely narcissistic, and yet totally insecure at the same time. He needs that constant re-affirmation of how great he is.
