A President should not be able to pardon.

Period.
End of story.

There is a real reason.

Venezuelan oil fields & US petroleum corporation hegemony.

Same reason we invaded Iraq.

But, his cult did vote for cheaper oil.

Dictators need media control to stay in power.

Behavioral disinhibition, but is it new or is advanced age catching up with his ability to even sort of suppress his impulses? I'm inclined to think the latter.

More terrifying, maybe he feels liberated and unconcerned because he's not planning on having any further political competition?

He has NEVER taken a ‘comprehensive’ cognitive test.

At 79 yrs old, soon there's one thing he will never escape.
And, the (sane) world will rejoice in it.

We just used to call them "cult members."

None of the other Presidents were as mentally ill.

The FBI (and everyone else) should be asking, “what illegal orders is the President planning on giving?” And, why is there a hurry?

Why the corporation didn’t make the GLP-1 indication a preventative treatment and not a curative one is beyond me. This was doomed to fail from the start.

"...and orders are presumed to be lawful."
So, do as I say, even if it will land you in the brig and result in a moral injury because you know in your heart what you are doing is wrong and against the Constitution.

It’s not distraction they want. It is shaping behaviors & redefining boundaries so certain ‘Christians’ can avoid the painful cognitive dissonance of following a ‘man of lawlessness, the son of perdition.’ (2 Thessalonians 2:3)

You may want to ask @apapsychiatric.bsky.social about the ‘duty to warn’ ethical imperative. Though, I wouldn’t hold my breath anticipating a response.

He's a sociopath.

Sociopathy

@apapsychiatric.bsky.social where are you again on the "duty to warn" ethical imperative? You know, the imperative all of your members and the mental health community in general hold as a core tenet.

Truth is not profitable for cult TV.

Correction. …by his own past behavior.
