Well... it's Trump... again. #47, here we go.

solidly explaining why Trump appears to be insane to reasonable people.
Seems right but … Occam sez it’s because he’s insane.
Not insane. He is dumb, he is a sociopath, and he has generally gotten away with whatever bullshit he has put forth. He has OJ SImpson disease, in that he feels untouchable. Thanks to SCOTUS and the GOP, he is.
I hope a court finds that to be the case some day.
ETA: isn’t sociopathy a subset of insanity?
Or is sociopathy among the mental health “issues” exempt from that description?
If so … WHY?
You can bet that if that becomes Trump’s last line of defense, it will be.
Being a sociopath isn't the end of the world. It is the addition of the malignant narcissism that creates a concoction of dangerous proportions.
Being a sociopath and the POTUS could be the end of the world.
 
Gotta love this guy:


I'm impressed that Lawrence can still do this after all this time. Night after night of screaming into the void. Like there is some sliver of hope he sees that I don't.
Or it's a paycheck.

Hmm.

I posted this vid because I think it's quite apparent that he's risking his paycheck. And I don't ever post vids to political threads, or at the very least it is not normal for me. I do regret not adding any commentary or some kind of general idea of the video's content. Bilby's right about that.

In this climate, I think it's entirely possible that people as forthright and blunt as Lawrence could suffer major repercussions, not just the loss of a job. He's literally putting his ass on the line. It ain't like posting on social media or a message board. I commend his guts. And he's right.

I'd say in generally, most people have to have something wrong with them to want to be President. You need some sense of megalomania or sociopathic identity. How Jimmy Carter ever got to be President will be studied by Historians forever... and they'll never figure that out.

Trump's issue is his malignant narcissism is toxic. He doesn't care about the country at all. It is all about him and punishing those that dare tarnish his image. And he appears to of been given a blank check by the GOP.

Fair enough. I filled up on Lawrence O'Donnell during Trump TOS. I'll give it a listen... all the way through this time.
 
Do other old-timers here remember the good old days? I speak of 2024 when many Americans were saying "So what if the Doddering Dolt is re-elected? We endured him for 4 years with the only big problem being a million unnecessary Covid deaths." A few of us warned "No, no, with Agenda 2025 coming this will be much MUCH worse." I and similar nay-sayers were ridiculed on message-boards. After barely nine months things are already much worse than even we pessimists imagined. DoJ, HHS, NASA etc. etc. are all being decimated.

Trump is literally stealing money from states that voted for Kamala. And stealing from states that dare to elect two Democratic Senators. During Trump-45, he effectively destroyed millions of dollars worth of scientific experiments. Now he's taking the wrecking ball to whole departments; the irrevocable damage is already tens of billions and climbing.

We have 4 or 5 Trumplickers right here on this message-board. Few if any of them will admit to being Trumplickers, but I wonder if ANY of them will dare comment on the on-going tragedies. Nah, they'll just keep warning about "caliphates" and babbling about the "need" for 17 different genders of bathroom.

When on vacation or furlough, government workers are encouraged to create an auto-reply "I am on vacation" for their government e-mail account. Supervisors may suggest wordings, but the actual message is set by the employee.

What do you think of this one? :--
Furloughed worker's auto-reply said:
Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democratic Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate, which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations, I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once the government functions resume.

The partisan wording in this message is a violation of the Hatch Act. The employee sending this message can be fined up to $1000, suspended or removed and/or barred from government employment for up to five years.

So, are millions of federal employees now in violation of the Hatch Act? These messages were forced upon the e-mail accounts without the consent or knowledge of the "I/me" ostensibly blaming Democrats. Some employees tried to revert the illegal message to their previous "I am on furlough" message, but the illegal message was quickly restored.

What do our Trumplickers think of all this? I know what they'll say: -- Something more or less like "Of course we disapprove but isn't it wonderful that the Voodoo worshippers in Ohio have stopped eating the cats and dogs."
