Read it and weep.
In a presidency marked by incoherent pronouncements and bizarre visions of grandeur, Donald Trump seemed to reach new, troubling heights last week.
He referred to himself as "the chosen one." He quoted a rabid conspiracy theorist radio host who declared that Israeli Jews love Trump as if he were the “King of Israel” and “the second coming of God,” while Trump himself accused American Jews of "great disloyalty" if they voted for Democrats. He attacked the prime minister of Denmark ("nasty") because she will not sell him Greenland and she mocked the very idea as “absurd.” He suggested he might serve more than two terms in office. He slurred his words while reading a speech off a teleprompter. He accused journalists of trying to ruin the U.S. economy. He claimed Google had "manipulated" millions of votes in Hillary Clinton's favor during the 2016 election. He suggested giving himself a Medal of Honor. He said doctors in El Paso, Texas, left their operating rooms mid-surgery in order to greet him during his visit there following a local gun massacre. And he referred to the NRA as if it were a co-equal branch of the federal government.
Nothing to add. Just thought it should be remembered.

The conservapslainers are all over this one. You see, he was just joking when he said he was "the Chosen One."
I pointed out that normal sane people expect a "joke" to have some "humor" or some "comedic element."
And then, ignoring all the rules of political correctness that apply whenever you are about to ask the BAD question that exposes conservative sophistry, I asked the conservasplainers to explain, in what way is it funny that Jabba the President is the Chosen One?
No takers yet.
