I know, right? I mean this guy admits to all kinds of horrible things, some of them illegal with absolutely no shame as though he is proud of himself. Not surprising he is a devotee of Trump.


The sad truth is, if you have children then you are very likely to have decedents in the future that think very similar to layman. We all have traits of cluster B but some of us have higher traits.

It may not be true but I hear that music can be helpful with antisocial behavior.

@Finn dAbuzz,
Well, it wasn't my number one concern, so that's ok.
[edit] Your president really does scare me, though.

@snood,
He's your president too, regardless of fine rhetoric.

He scares you? Fine Obama scared me. A president doesn't need to be a loud mouthed boor to undermine the American fabric.

@Finn dAbuzz,
I think you're a very smart man Finn. That's why I believe that for you to actually see any equivalence in the negatives of those two men is either the result of a cognitive dissonance bordering on schizophrenia, or just a plain old lie you're trying to pass off as your honest opinion.
Obama, for whatever mistakes he made or conflicts one might have with his politics, is an obviously decent man who conducts himself honorably and tried to act in the best interest of Americans.
Trump is a petulant, 71 year old adolescent who couldn't hide his despicable character if he tried, and acts out of easily piqued impulse for the good of his image and his bank account.
Anyone who thinks straight and speaks honestly would be worried with this man in charge of a small city council, much more so with him holding the reins of power of the US government.

Any cowardly, panty-waisted, retarded cheese-eater can be a "decent man" who tries to do his best when he gets in the boxing ring with a heavyweight or takes the GRE exam. So what? He's in way over his head and is just going to embarrass himself and get his sorry ass kicked.

Anyone who wouldn't shudder if Hillary Clinton were Prez is a damn fool.

In an interesting study, Watts and colleagues looked at the narcissism of U.S. Presidents and their performance. In particular, the researchers looked at Grandiose Narcissism, which is a flamboyant, assertive, and interpersonally dominant style. Grandiose narcissists tend to have an inflated sense of self, are overconfident in making decisions, and don’t seem to learn from their mistakes.

One might think that grandiose narcissism would be a detriment, but the results of the analyses suggest that there is both good and bad. Presidents who rated higher on grandiose narcissism scored higher on ratings of “presidential greatness” and they were more likely to win the popular vote and initiate important legislation.

Who were these U.S. Presidents? Lyndon Johnson, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, John F. Kennedy, and Bill Clinton were all high on grandiose narcissism—much higher than the general population.

Other than Teddy, who was an independent, those are all Democrats, aint they? (Nixon was next, but behind all of those).

Obama wasn't included in that study, because he was still Prez at the time. However more than one shrink has said he's a narcissist, for example:

Quote:


Obama is a picture-perfect example of narcissism in practice. He’s a better example than Donald Trump, who at least has been able to survive in the real profit-and-loss world of business. Throughout his presidency, Obama has degraded people who disagree with him on matters of policy and principle.

Obama routinely mocks and disparages people who disagree with him on gun control, immigration, defense cuts and the supposed pacifism of Islam. Obama’s style is not brash and blunt like Trump’s, but the contempt Obama holds for those who disagree with him is evident the moment he opens his mouth.

Obama does not create or produce a thing for anyone. He uses a combination of unearned guilt and raw, coercive power to transfer huge amounts of wealth and resources from people who earned it to those who did not earn it. He’s not even a competent or astute career politician, such as the Bushes and Clintons who preceded him, and who seek to follow him.

As noted that goes for the lot of you, Snood. You all support lies of the greatest fashion, conveniently pushing aside any little thing that might twig a rational, honest, compassionate person's human side.

You guys can't write/say anything without illustrating that you are the rankest hypocrites to ever walk the planet.

The US would need an angel to step forward as president to undermine the entrenched American fabric that has seen the last two plus centuries of war criminal, terrorist, depraved, murderous, genocidal, war mongering, ... US behavior, and in a flash, that angel would be assassinated.

Well, not completely, no, because guys like Cammie, who are too chickenshit to fight, will still be around.

But there aint gunna be no fuckin "caliphate" with billions of stolen oil money comin in to blow on terrorism.

They're done as any kind of military force. Unless, that is, Cammie goes to save them. Then they, and he, will be finished, eh?

@layman,
I am a little confused. Confused I am sharing below the info you shared.

Quote:
ISIS fighters decided to blow up the mosque as Iraqi forces came within steps of the complex


Why would they blow it up before it was well occupied? Do you think these people would do it differently than you?

Quote:
ISIS tried to claim the mosque had been blown up by coalition forces, but multiple independent sources confirm the jihadists were responsible

@glitterbag,
That is so typical of how hypocrites handle constructive criticism, glitterbag. You should note that you and layman are peas in a pod on this. You should also note that you and layman are equals in your cowardly dismissals of fact.

Bernie has as much chance of ending the totally ingrained last two plus centuries of American war criminal, terrorist, depraved, murderous, genocidal, war mongering behavior as a snowball has of making it thru an Arizona summer, sitting on a Phoenix golf course.
