I see him as creating chaos, stepping back and watching people gravitate to the chaos while he rubs his hands in delight.

Really, for a good 100 years or so until the late 1980’s and early 1990’s this was fairly true of the US. The “divide and conquer” strategy, especially when it’s US were dividing, is not good for a country that wants to adapt to the world. And the world isn’t going to adapt to it for real long Wendy P.

Nordic countries: The political parties respect each other and trust between them and the government is a given. The people trust the government. America. The political parties are at war and one party the MAGA-republican party teaches that the government is evil.That it can't be trusted and tries to use the justice system against its citizens. The parties use the tax system to create winners and losers.

Exactly, but add mean spirited chaos. If the chaos can cause suffering all the better.

He’s a troll. We’d ban him here. Wendy P.

Hi Keith, Re: Why so many Americans are now moving to the Independent Party Here in Oregon we have an Independent Party. I am not a member. I am a non-affiliated voter; that is a choice we have here. Jerry Baumchen

Even by the standards of a guy who usually says 3 insane things before breakfast, that is fucking INSANE.

This. Why so many Americans are now moving to the Independent Party - myself included. The crevasse has grown way too wide. I hate it. I saw my former party getting worse about it. "Independents are a growing cohort of voters—according to Gallup, more Americans identify as independents (40%) than as Democrats (29%) or Republicans (30%). Independents overwhelmingly identify as “moderate” and state they agree with both major parties on certain issues. For example, independents tend to trust Democrats more on abortion, healthcare, and climate change, while they prefer Republicans on the economy, gun rights, and immigration.** Despite their numbers, millions of independents are excluded from primary elections across the 15 states with closed congressional primaries and the 22 with closed presidential primaries." https://www.uniteamerica.org/articles/research-brief-growing-cohort-of-independent-voters-becomes-critical-segment-of-electorate ** I don't necessarily agree with this paragraph. There has to be a leader out there somewhere that can bring both aisles back together with some common sense legislation, or lead the new Independent Party to growth.

I don't. But most businesses will choose success over bankruptcy.

One of the main reasons for antagonistic narcissism is childhood trauma, such as neglect, emotional abuse, or inconsistent caregiving. These early experiences can lead to deep feelings of insecurity and a heightened need to protect themselves by putting others down. This will help to explain Its an article from People magazine that provides an excellent overview of what shaped Trump's fatally flawed personality. From the best selling book Too Much and Never Enough Mary Trump's book. "Mary writes: "Donald's problem was that the combative, rigid persona he developed in order to shield him from the terror of his early abandonment, along with his having been made to witness his father's abuse of Freddy, cut him off from real human connection." From this view, Too Much and Never Enough traces the "parallel lines" of Freddy's deterioration despite his nominal place as the family scion and the rise of his younger brother Donald, here described as a brash, boundary-less bully — not so much greedy as a black hole, warping any rule or restraint around him."

It just cracks me up that anyone thinks anything other than flat stupidity is play here. We have masked ICE assholes sweeping up strawberry pickers and home roofers wherever you look and some dimwit thought hiding 400 illegal factory workers in the open would pass notice and earn a better placed cubicle.

Really? Is this Trumpish? “you don't know shit from a good grade of peanut butter.” Because I didn’t say that, Bigun did. What about this? “Now just piss the fuck off”? Because I didn’t say that, Bigun did. And that’s despite the fact that he’s wrong. Despite the fact that he knows he’s wrong. And he’s still behaving like that. So who should you be talking to about pissing contests?

Benzedrine has been confirmed.

Quite the history question you've proposed. We've been using the military to do this since the 80's war on drugs - including in foreign countries. It does not violate Substantive Due Process (where the courts have decided govermental regulation trumps regular constitutional norms (see what I did there)) and has been heard at the Supreme Court several times. I think most people don't give a shit when it comes to protecting the borders from an influx of drugs. I don't. Don't want to die; don't attempt to bring drugs into the country.
