Repost, New Title: Trump's unhinged cabinet gathering laid bare both his cognitive decline and contempt

NOTE: My original post re. this must read commentary by D Earl Stephens was titled, Trump's hideous freakshow could easily be exposed — there's just one problem as found on Rawstory. Same article, different title.

I deleted that entire post because the Rawstory article was firewalled, and I discovered the alternate link provided was, according to Media Matters, Bias and Credibility, an 'unreliable source.'

As I wrote therein, the excerpts from the article (below) don't do justice to its entirety. A recommended read.

Sorry for the snafu and thnx all for the previous responses.

Trump's unhinged cabinet gathering laid bare both his cognitive decline and contempt - an op-ed by D. Earl Stephens - Alternet via MSN

In the meeting, (Trump) did everything he could to stay awake, his head bobbing up and down and side to side. He pawed at his orange face as he drifted off to the fairways of Mar-a-Lago. It was hard to tell if he’d skipped one of the drug cocktails he pounds throughout the day, or just had one too many in anticipation of his big meeting with his crooked staff.

While he fought sleep, his grotesque collection of anti-vaxxers, stone-cold bigots, crooks, and multi-millionaires and billionaires showered him with praise for the stellar job he is doing heaping all his hate on the world, while stuffing his bottomless pockets with millions and millions in kickbacks and blood money.

One of them, the racist, puppy-shooting Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, preposterously thanked him for keeping the hurricanes away from the United States this year.

I’m really not sure whether to laugh or cry at this theater of the completely absurd — but I’m pretty sure indifference can’t be a viable option.
