“USAID was shut down 'to soothe the ego’ of Musk.”
This is why I wrote a book about narcissists. They really are this dangerous. Musk has no conscience or empathy, which he regards as a weakness. They are and do great evil. Tribal societies killed them because…they were evil. What else would a sane tribe do, promote them to the highest positions and make them rich beyond belief? That would be stupid, nobody would do that.

Also monarchy. Both capitalism and monarchy sort the psychopaths to the top.
One of the questions used to determine if someone is a psychopath is whether they live a parasitic lifestyle....

I need to learn this skill! I wrote a very factual book about how narcissists are literally destroying our planet, and I have to admit it's not cheery....

Trump is a symptom of right-wing moral corruption:
"the dire state we’re in — the leader of the free world has turned against freedom, the greatest power the world has ever known is self-immolating before our eyes — isn’t just a matter of Donald Trump’s personal failings. It’s the culmination of decades of right-wing sabotage of everything that made American great.”

Well put. Welcome to the #pathocracy, where the inmates are in charge of not just the asylum, but everything.
"Trump is the main force for evil in his own administration. But Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also a singularly malevolent presence in American public life. His humiliation, and the complete humiliation of his ugly, dangerous movement, is necessary, and cannot happen soon enough."

Is nothing too much for MAGA? It's clearly a cult of personality, as all narcissistic psychopaths form as they attain power. Most of MAGA are lost forever; they've chosen moral corruption and that's not easy to come back from. Countless Germans still supported Hitler even after his actions resulted in the literal destruction of their country. Countless Germans still do, hence the popularity of the AfD.

This is just blatant, in-your-face corruption. Just up and telling everyone that Yes, we are crooks and will continue to be crooks.
They're complaining that their salary of $175,000 is not enough, so they need to be able to do insider trading to survive. They're all millionaires.

The US is not an ally and not trustworthy. It won't be after Trump is gone, either. Maybe give the Ukrainians a call; I hear they have the best drone tech anyway...
"Taiwan’s government has been waiting for months for Mr. Trump to sign off on a $14 billion package of missiles, anti-drone equipment and air-defense systems intended to fortify the island against Beijing’s military threats."

The uncomfortable truth is that #capitalism rewards narcissists and other sociopaths. They make up 1% of the population and 21% of CEOs.
