I just watched two Star Trek TOS episodes today. They keep talking about “computer banks“ whenever they’re talking about information in the computers. 😁 I also love watching TNG, because they have iPads!! 😯(Because of a disability tablet computers are the only way I can use a computer. Changed my life.)

Apparently in the book it says that Kellyanne Conway when she’s off camera doesn’t even pretend to believe the shit she’s saying. Finger gun to head after she was off camera on morning Joe, IIRC. So yeah we are in the hands of shortsighted pathological liars. It’s like all the dumbest most ass-kissy people in Hollywood and Vegas are now the government's administrative glue.

He has an uncanny talent for telling people what they want to hear.

"Cheap bastard" is not the preferred nomenclature. "Thrifty orphan" please.

This was known shortly after Comey was fired & Mueller was appointed. Rosenstein addressed it, saying Trump expressed interest in firing Comey. He said Trump wanted a list of reasons, but didn't specify one. Trump first blamed Rosenstein for the firing, saying he suggested it, until Rosenstein publicly denied it. Trump later changed the story & admitted the real reason in the TV interview.

Any politician or religious huckster can do that. They can even get you to send money to them. The difference is the politicians and priests are talking to true believers already, and Trump isn't.

It's more then telling them what they want to here, although that's part of it. It's getting them to buy what he's selling when they are not believers in the first place. He can get strangers to give him money, even ones who know his history. That is an exceptional con man.

A dead actor may not need as much makeup to play Bannon, but finding a corpse in just the right stage of decay would be tricky.
