    LOL

    "We were concerned that, given his “straightforward” or "outsider" presentation and charisma, he would appeal to people who were unaware of the dangers of his obvious narcissistic personality type, and the offensive behaviors that can accompany it. These behaviors include but are not limited to condescension, gross exaggeration (lying), bullying, jealousy, fragile self-esteem, lack of compassion, and viewing the world as Us-vs.-Them. Having observed the schoolyard-bully tactics Trump employed during public debates, as well as his boasting presentation during interviews, we felt it was important to raise awareness about his behaviors. So in January 2016, we posted Bullies: An Exploration Into Different Types of Bullies." https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...nt-in-the-room

    This is fun. The week in Trump World.

    Sean Spicer thinks they have finally solved the wire tapping but he wants to discuss with Rep Nunes first.

    Rep Nunes was informed by Peter Severa that there was no Russian hacking or election spamming.

    Our saber rattling is different than the democratic saber rattling per Sean Spicer.

    When DJT tweeted if a president could be impeached for incompetence he didn't mean himself just to be clear.

    Pres Trump asked China's leader if China made up global warming but since the answer was in Chinese we can't confirm.

    Pres Trump takes credit for the beautiful Spring weather and blames Obama for the recent tornadoes.

    Pres Trumps claims sixty million dollars for my golfing at Mar-a-Lago is fine didn't I win this entitlement.

    Trump claims being president should benefit his family and hotels as he does so much for some Americans.

    Jared Kushner will bring fresh eyes to every issue after all he knows little about any of the issues.

    Ivanka says, 'Father knows Best' was her favorite show growing up.

    Doesn't Pence look all VP like standing admiringly, gloating slightly as Trump signs EAs.

    Trump agrees with NRA and their claim the mentally ill need guns to protect themselves from people mentally ill.

    Clarification, Trump tweets nothing is fake if he says it and what he calls fake is fake.

    Sean Hannity has argued 'mendacity' is a positive in media coverage, it helps his understanding of the issues.

    Use of exclamation points confirms the importance of tweets per Pres Trump.

    Comedy shows may switch to tragedy so comedy can make a come back after the Trump comedy passes.

    Trump thinks Manaford's money laundering was a good idea, clean money is nicer per Donald.

    Is this supposed to counteract LibWorld and LibSpeak? Do you think Democrats have a copyright on foolishness?

    I also notice that nothing Midcan is writing has any quotations marks or attribution. Oh, right. Lies.

    My children were a little older when I taught them that fiction often held more truth than did non-fiction. Consider Dreams of my Father versus Catch-22

    I'm sure your daughter, and my children, learned something that most politicians never learn. Your lies work better if you occasionally tell the truth.

    That's an interesting analogy. During the Obama Administration though, there were too many occasions where your silence was the response to fiction, so you just seem like political whining from you now.

    Same with the thread start.

    Trump world continued:

    Trump, my rallies are the bestest, correspondent's diner not so good.
    Trump tweets are now history regardless of applicability to anything at all.
    Trump's imaginary armada confused everyone even him.
    Trump, where is that armada anyway, Jared on whitehouse roof looking now.
    Trump will reply to national security questions when he hears what Fox and Friends have to say.
    Trump, removing millions from healthcare will make my plan more better good.
    Trump, my white voters will now be safe, paying for the wall will be a great great privilege for them.
    Trump feels SNL is unfair representation of reality, per Sean.
    Trump praises Gorsuch, one down, lots more to go, great decision, git em.
    Trump likes strong leaders in other countries but not here.
    Trump, wall is coming along fine, great great wall. Mar-a-Lago now safe.
    Trump, Sean wasn't lying when he claimed he wasn't lying.
    Trump holding another unconstitutional EA, ain't my signature the neatest .

    "She picked Louisiana because it presented an extreme example of what she called the “great paradox.” Statistics show that this state ranks very low in “human development.” - it ranks 49th. In overall health, it ranked last, it ranked 48th in eight-grade reading, 49th out of 50 in eight-grade math, and 49th in child well-being. Yet these same people will spurn most federal help. Even so, 44 percent of the state’s budget comes from the federal government. As Alec MacGillis of the NY Times stated, “People in red states who need Medicaid and food stamps welcome them but don’t vote…while those a little higher on the class ladder, white conservatives, don’t need them and do vote – against public dollars for the poor.” When it comes to the significant pollution from the petrochemical industry, the logic is “the more oil, the more jobs. The more jobs, the more prosperity, and the less need for government … the better off they will be.”"" review comment: Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right' by Arlie Russell Hochschild

    Just for @patrickt quotes this week. And more to come, Pres Trump is a gift that keeps on giving.

    The Wisdum and profundity of DJT

    "I think I am, actually humble. I think I'm much more humble than you would understand.”
    "The point is that you can't be too greedy."
    "I love the poorly educated."
    "Private jets cost a lot of money."
    "A certificate of live birth is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination as a birth certificate."
    “In terms of achievement, I think I’d give myself an A, I think I get an A in terms of what I’ve actually done."
    "We need a great president."
    "Obama does not like the issue of where he was born."
    “I thought being President would be easier than my old life.”
    "I actually don't have a bad hairline."
    “An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud.”
    “All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.”
    “The beauty of me is that I’m very rich.”
    “My IQ is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure; it’s not your fault.”
    “I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.”
    "You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the...."

    "On Day One, we will begin working on an impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful southern border wall. We will use the best technology, including above - and below -ground sensors. That’s the tunnels. Remember that. Above and below. Above - and below -ground sensors, towers, aerial surveillance and manpower to supplement the wall, find and dislocate tunnels and keep out criminal cartels and Mexico, you know that, will work with us." Donald J Trump speech, 8/31/16

    I promised the moderators I wouldn't post any more but since this nonsense was addressed to me I thought I should respond.

    Midcan5 said, "I can lie all I want and there is nothing you can do about it." That's called a quote without attribution. Midcan, quotation marks aren't what make a lie a quote. I did notice one quote for which I can give attribution. Not actually a quote but your, "A certificate of live birth is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination as a birth certificate" is paraphrasing the postal employee when I offered a certificate of live birth to get a passport instead of a birth certificate.

    You must me embarrassed to right something stupid and be right.
    @midcan5

    Now, I will return to not posting. The moderators will be happy.
