Brandi Kruse at today's "antifa violence roundtable" at the White House: "This is one of the reasons I recovered from it. By the way, it’s much better to not have TDS. I’m happier, healthier, more successful. I even think I got a little more attractive after I got rid of my Trump Derangement System"

#Trump #lies

This quote is perfectly absurd.

As i read it, i don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I know that’s a cliche on my part, but it’s an honest account of how i feel as i read it…

I lay in bed pondering the utter horror of having had such a total *clown* dominate the news for a decade + .

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Like everyone, I hope this is a lasting peace deal.

That said, it's pretty disgusting to watch some political journalists trip over each other in competition to muse about a Nobel Peace Prize for a president who is currently deploying troops against American cities, violently weaponizing an apparently unaccountable police force against American citizens, suppressing freedom of the press, shutting down free speech for corporations and campuses to leverage bribery deals, openly threatening and cajoling federal judges, cutting many billions in foreign aid that will lead to millions of deaths globally, engaging in the extrajudicial murder of foreign citizens, placating dictatorial regimes with widely documented human rights abuses, and undermining global stability with third-rate mafia tactics.

It's tragic to witness how quickly informed journalists are folding to the fascism materializing in front of us because they don't want to be targeted next.

Apologies to reptilian friends, yes.

And, fwiw… imho, it’s a combo of nature (e.g., DNA) and nurture (e.g., trauma) — both — that leads to Trump’s psychopathy.

(Psychopathy being defined briefly in the right screenshot, below.)

I.e., “Is psychopathy genetic or learned?”

I’ll take that answer.

👇🏽

Is psychopathy genetic or learned?

Al Overview

Psychopathy is influenced by both genetic predispositions and environmental factors, rather than being purely one or the other; research indicates a significant genetic component, with approximately 50% heritability for severe antisocial behavior, combined with environmental factors such as childhood abuse, in utero toxin exposure, and adverse family environments. These genetic factors can affect brain development, particularly areas responsible for emotional regulation and impulse control, while environmental factors can interact with these genetic vulnerabilities to shape an individual's development and increase their risk.

en.wikipedia.org - Private

Psychopathy, or psychopathic personality," is a personality construct [2][3] characterized by impaired
empathy and remorse, persistent antisocial behavior, [4] along with bold, disinhibited, and egocentric traits. These traits are often masked by superficial charm and immunity to stress, [5] which create an outward appearance of apparent normality. [6][7][8][9][10]

I would agree with what i believe to be is your statement’s intended point — that the man lies so constantly, as he lives and breathes, it’s second nature to him; he doesn’t think about it.

However, sometimes i see him reveling in a lie he’s told.

Also, i avoid stereotypes that demean lizards.

Actually, correction: It’s one megalomaniac (Trump) engaged in fabulism.

Netanyahu is a megalomaniac.

Trump is the most fabulous of fabulists.

(Netanyahu may or may not have said what Trump reports he said. Who knows. But, in any case, in that audio clip, Trump alone tells his story to Fox News.)

Q fabulism meaning
Al Mode

Fabulism is a literary genre or characteristic where fantastical elements are integrated into a realistic, contemporary setting, but it also has a broader meaning as the creation of elaborate, often unbelievable stories or accounts, sometimes with the implication of being false or misleading. In literature, it emphasizes symbolic or emotional logic over strict realism, with the unreality serving to explore internal conflict.
