Mr. Thin Skin strikes again.

And I imagine not one Republican politician will stand up and say removing security clearance from past government Justice Department figures has never been done or needed. It is both unnecessary and petty and accomplishes nothing.

And that is why it is so Trump. It accomplishes nothing but shows him being a spiteful asshole.

There’s a pretty good piece up at Talking Points Memo about how Trump has really declined; he used to be at least capable of humor, of a little self-deprecation now & again (remember his appearing in overalls to sing the theme song to Green Acres?).

These days? Nothing but snarling, savagery & sadism.

Sometimes he’ll just do a movie review or talk about one of his movie star friends. There is that thing we almost never see in him now - humor. True humor, as opposed to mere sarcasm or viciousness, always contains a measure of self-deprecation. Viciousness and attack have always been Trump’s native language. But these other modes were at least present. They’re gone now.
