You are offended by anyone pretty.

You celebrate Rosie O'Donnell, Whoopi, and Ralph Maddow.

We'll see how suburban moms accept it. It wasn't aimed at singles living in high rise efficiency apartments in big cities.

It was awful any way you slice it.

Do you really think Trump did a particularly good job? I don't. Granted, he was handicapped to some degree by covid, but the guy just seemed not to have much of a handle on things. Foreign affairs in particular.

This moment spoke volumes about what he cares about, and its not you or I. Or anyone else for that matter.

Yeah. I could see how you would take issue with an Alpha being an Alpha.

This is probably more of what you have in mind, am I right?

An awkward moment to be sure, but one can make an argument that he's following custom there.

Unlike Lord Fauntleroy, who shook the queen's hand.

Now, I looked that up and I gather than shaking her hand rather than bowing to her is not such a faux pas as I might have thought. Point being, when meeting world leaders at least some sense of decorum is called for and Trump is like Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack. And it would be funny if it were as unimportant as the movie.

For the record, only one has been in office almost 50 years. Not sure you understood the term narcissistic megalomaniac.

No, I've researched and thought on this very topic. Discussed openly with Doctor friends, who concur.

Trump absolutely 110% is a narcissist. And a megalomaniac, wreckless and entitled.

  • Hereditary predisposition
  • Alcohol or drug dependency
  • Having syphilis at any point in your life
  • Childhood moral trauma
I would lean more toward the syphilitic origins, but know his family situation - and rampant alcoholism, and loss of his brother. Could definitely be the trauma part.

You have to be off your rocker not to agree with this. It reads like a life story for DT.

Forces his truth, fixated on fantasies of fantastic power & control (ideations as he was the reason of a positive outcome), distancing himself from other (othering effect) ie Nationalism, racial rhetoric, us vs them (Dem vs Rep, Media commentary), on and on. Emotional instability, stories of his lashing out, abusing others, making faces in his pressers, getting upset if he isnt represented fairly. Always acting like he is unphased but having to talk about it incessantly, which shows he is phased.

Comments about disabled, and those who are poor (lack of empathy).

Never admits mistakes, ever. Even with the Capitol coup attempt, or any of his gaffes. Never, not once has he offered anything resembling an apology.

Constant judgement of others, showing an absolutely miniscule amount of self esteem bordering jealousy of others (narcissitic rage).

Willingness to slit throats at any moment. Any and all commentary always redirected toward himself. Always talking about himself.

Well running it like a bottomless ATM certainly isn't working. Or then again, maybe it is. Let's just keep printing and spending, not worrying about even coming close to balancing the books until the bottom drops out. It is a plan. Not a good one, but it is a plan.

It is unimportant. Our president should bow to no one.

Didn't really do a lot for race relations either. While the economy sucked with him, much of that should lay at the feet of congress.

Didnt he? The only people who were offended by him were white people. LOL, if anything he brought to forefront what we all knew was that the balance of power in this Country is heavily slanted toward Whites. Any time in history that someone feels power struggle, instant reaction is to pearl clutch. The moment that rhetoric started
hitting home, the rich whites & crackers started looking around. They saw Trump, who didnt believe half the bs coming out of his own mouth. But, because he got some attention, like a HS girl - the ratings were good for business. We got the greatest troll in history of this Country.

Well one of the biggest selling points of the Confederate flags was 1960s/1970s rock bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd that used the flag on their albums and paraphernalia; the series Smoky and the Bandit (General Lee), and other pop media, mostly in the Baby Boomer generation for the South.

Who distanced themselves from it when it became aware to them in what it represents. Hell Artimus Pyle is an outspoken Democrat.

Very well said.
And I think this is the perfect example of what I mean when I say trumpism has drastically lowered the level of expected/acceptable societal norms.

Trumpism gave the green light to many for staying in and/or playing in the gutter.

Don’t y’all wear Jorts to Gator games? Sometimes maybe following tradition isn’t such a good thing. 😜

Yet they are responsible for Confederate Flags being so wide-spread. Most bands, biker groups, and other entertainment in that era had that symbol. I do think they intended for it to mean something different but you cannot separate it from its usage by the KKK or in the Segregation era as well.

Thanks, took this from your article.

“People with megalomania are obsessed with power and will do anything to gain it”

Biden panders. Like I said, only one has been in power for 50 years. Not sure you understand the meaning.

By the way, do you know the Jefferson County Courthouse is Birmingham still has swastikas engraved on it? Built before WWII. Symbols mean different things to different people at different times
