Meanwhile... In the #TrumpVirus Crime, #Cult, & #Psychopathology Department today...

A look at the Emperor's Sick Clothes...

As the #GQP House approves the only Drumpf- disapproved candidate for Speaker, in the #Jan6 #sedition arena, Jen Ellis was 'flipper # 4' today among co-conspirators ... And today is the day of Michael Cohen vs. Don Don in the big NY Civil case vs #Trump Org...

But meanwhile, a lovely little thread on Xitter addresses the unique and "perfect" malignant narcissism and myriad #psychopathology features of Lord StableGenius and his #cult of malevolent "personality", devoid of actual belief in anything beyond his winning, 24/7.

(1/3) Trump is unique among malignant narcissists in being of below average intelligence, inarticulate, and poorly read. Many non-political malignant narcissists (Ted Bundy) had high IQ's. And even "cult of personality" malignant narcissists (Jim Jones) were literate and sharp.

(2/3) The persuasiveness of cult leaders is usually enhanced by their intelligence and articulacy. Trump is such a loud and obvious con, that his political rise speaks as much to the susceptibility of our electorate, his enablers, his broad celebrity, and this moment in time.

There's a great deal of #truth plus commentary in this thread assessing #DJT of the StableGenius Klan...

Iowa police dispute Ramaswamy campaign’s claim that protesters rammed their car
“Our investigation has revealed no evidence to substantiate” the claim that protesters hit Ramaswamy’s car on purpose and fled, police said.

So he's a liar. Par for the GQP course. What else is there to say?

Oh my... Amid the horrors and craziness (of the world, not just the U.S. #GQP lunatic exhibition)...

Somehow I just got a reminder of my "post from 29 years ago".... It's historic and VERY relevant to today.

So... I somehow posted this on FB 10 years ahead of its founding... Clever they are! (&/or quite the date-scraping they do)

History, though... the photo of the news 29 years ago exactly ... things were looking rather more optimistic!
