Time for an intervention – Digby's Hullabaloo

Yesterday was crazy and I suspect today is going to be even worse. Trump is even more out of control that usual. And it’s dangerous as hell:

.@FrankFigliuzzi1
reacts to the president's language and the affect he believes it is having on homegrown violent extremists.

I already posted highlights of his earlier craziness. Then he went on Ingraham.

Get a load of this total lunacy:

President claims Biden being controlled by "people in the dark shadows", then gives example of Antifa ninja airborne attack on the GOP convention, claims flight is "under investigation." pic.twitter.com/iOHUthPZgU

In case you’re wondering what he was babbling about, this would seem to be it:

And this is certainly reassuring:

Tucker Carlson asks Homeland Security chief @DHS_Wolf why leaders of Antifa and BLM haven't been arrested & charged for conspiracy "like the heads of mafia families"

Wolf says DOJ "targeting and investigating the head of these orgs" — suggests Antifa/BLM are paying ppl to riot pic.twitter.com/JjP9VWx2SS

These people are all nuts.

But Trump is quite seriously losing his mind. The interview with Ingraham was beyond weird. Just a few moments to illustrate:

Trump seems to endorse a herd immunity approach to Covid while discussing coronavirus vaccines: "Once you get to a certain number — you know, we use the word 'herd,' right? — it's going to go away." pic.twitter.com/uVb72GfpZe

So to wrap up today:
1) Biden gave a good speech on social unrest;
2) Trump sounded like a crazy person on national television.
