Brilliant diagnosis, actual Dr. Trump.

  1. It’s now a Cult of (a very damaged) Personality.
  2. It will be interesting to see how many choose to drink the purple Kool-Aid and go down with the ship.
  3. Plus, the ANONYMOUS authorship will be claimed by 32 different people.

"[H]e cares about nobody but himself … has no loyalty to anybody. And that he will use anybody for his own purposes and lie to them about his motives.”

Of course he will. He’s a blaggard. And blaggards gotta blag(?).

Blaggard Noun. (plural blaggards ) (dated) A scoundrel; an unprincipled contemptible person; an untrustworthy person. Usually, only used to refer to a male person.
(h/t to Mary for labeling him as such.)

FIFY, for historical accuracy. FYI It was grape-flavored; purple isn’t a flavor.

I watched every moment of the RNC convention. To listen to the pundits and from comments I see from Trump supporters, I am more frightened that he will win a second term than I was before. The public at large is so uninformed and still believe his BS. The Democrats, particularly Biden and Harris, need to give more pushback on this image of “ violent rioters/looters“ the RNC and Trump have put out there.

I’ll admit. I saw a kid, about ten years old or so, and I asked him what flavor his Icee or Slurpee or whatever overpriced shaved ice mush he was drinking was and he looked at me like I was from Mars and declared, “It’s blue!”

So maybe purple is a flavor sometimes.

I can’t believe none of them has died yet. Not that I’m hoping for it - I’m not.

But they’ve been dropping like flies it seems.

Just finished watching Dances With Wolves…(I cannot bring myself to watch the scenes after the one in which Kicking Bird and Dances With Wolves were talking after the latter’s wedding).

But what I wish to point out is that a society like the Lakota shown in the film had fewer places to hide liars. The levels of stratification, the task differentiations, the mores and folkways and actual laws could not hide a malignant one like Trump (not that those societies did not contain evil-doers).

The question of “what is real” is always a societal item. For a society as complex as ours, we have to depend on people.

Lots of people.

That’s a Garden for someone like Trump to Harvest for the Gullible.

It’s actually very reassuring hearing these damning words coming from a Trump. Thank you Dr. Mary for speaking out.

Joe sent out a tweet saying this.

Remember: every example of violence Donald Trump decries has happened on his watch. Under his leadership. During his presidency.
