Authoritarians live within a strict paradigm of leaders and followers, often translating to decivers and victims. They inherently believe either that people can’t think for themselves or that those who can think for themselves constitute a threat. Authoritarians are fearful by nature.

No, Tom, it’s not the country that people hate; it’s your bastardized version of it.

They want desperately not to be the spoiled, sniveling children that they are. But regardless of the facial hair and avoir du pois that they cultivate, they still tragicomically are.

Lots of faux Time magazine covers, stolen classified documents, love letters from Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, mementos of Jan 6, Nobel Peace Prize replica, forged medical records, campaign-rally greatest hits video, cognitive test results (person, woman, man, camera, tv), Apprentice episodes….

In photo ops he points like that to everyone who gives him what he wants, whether it’s money, fealty, or praise, as if to say, “Aren’t they great for loving me?”

He appears to be trying to provoke a heated response in Venezuela just as he would like to provoke one in targeted blue cities and in demonstrations against him. Then he can get the dept of war to live up to its new name and roll out the war machine.

The dire consequences of treating water as an investment is actually the subject of the film Chinatown, which is loosely based on Los Angeles’ “water wars.”

Too elliptical, I guess. The Democratic Party, which Trump regards as at least an extension of the phantom antifa, is actually part of the political establishment.

How do members of a terrorist organization keep getting elected to public office?

Even if this happened, and the cabinet is really enamored of him, debasement of this sort takes a special kind of mentality. Followers need saviors, and con men need followers. This match was truly made in heaven.

The expression on his face is like that of the cartoon character who’s just been clobbered by a falling piano and now has little birdies flying around his head. The lesson again is that it doesn’t matter where you went to school. Emotional and psychological loopholes always show up in the end.

He is extraordinarily transparent. His psychology, his corruption, and his anti-democratic politics are right out in the open. His desperate attempts to conceal are like confessions.

By leftist terrorist cells in Texas, are you referring to Democrats in the Texas legislature because that’s about the extent of them. And if your plan to “uproot” them is to “infiltrate” them first, you’d better have a really good disguise.
