[Editor’s note: Confabulation is a memory error consisting of the production of fabricated, distorted, or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world. It is generally associated with certain types of brain damage or a specific subset of dementias. While still an area of ongoing research, the basal forebrain is implicated in the phenomenon of confabulation. People who confabulate present with incorrect memories ranging from subtle inaccuracies to surreal fabrications, and may include confusion or distortion in the temporal framing of memories… It is worth noting that, among the many relevant topics covered and disturbing facts revealed by Mr. Barnes and Mr. Johnson, Barnes shares that Donald Trump talks to controversial far-right conservative commentator Sean Hannity every night. Please share this important, timely discussion between Robert Barnes and Larry Johnson far and wide. Feel free to share your thoughts and/or responses in the comments. Thank you very much. Peace.]

Description: The more Trump’s show is running, the more his closest allies seem to be walking on eggshells. 100% narcissism, pure madness and hot temper — is anyone besides JD Vance even trying to bring Trump back to reality? In this episode ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson and constitutional lawyer Robert Barnes are diving deep into serious issue – will Donald Trump still be president in a year?

I remember feeling kind of smug when the COVID lockdowns started happening because I've led a very solitary life, even in childhood. It really wasn't that much of a change.

I can recall ten years or so when I was laid off from my longest-held job position and I was coming to terms with it all drawing to a close. I sometimes wouldn't step foot out of our home for days at a time.

So years after that, when the pandemic hit shortly after I began seeing my partner, we hunkered down and just rolled with it.

The problem now is all those people I looked at judgmentally for going into hysterics because they weren't able to get their hair cut or go out clubbing during a deadly pandemic, have adjusted back to a culture of interacting with other people, and we.. haven't.

It doesn't help that we're perpetually broke, only avoiding homelessness thanks to the incredible generosity of our friends here.

It's difficult to justify painting the town red when your bank account is only in the black thanks to charity.

I think (at least in my case) it's primarily due to not having a reasonable baseline with which to return.

Even before the pandemic, I've lived next door to neighbors for literally *years* without conversing beyond "hello" or "excuse me" if we happen to be passing.

In more than six years, my partner have had guests over a total of 2 (two) times, during a total duration of roughly 4 (four) hours.

We never go anywhere.

We never do anything.

I'm not exaggerating.

I don't think this is just typical introversion. We live within an hours' drive of the vast majority of both our families, but we see them maybe twice a year.

We're not religious (I'm basically full-blown atheist) so church-going is not a plausible option. I've visited UU services a handful of times many years ago, but I could never feel very passionate about it.

Anyway.. I want to become more socialized, but I'm not sure I remember how, because I'm not sure I ever really learned.

It's like we both need to be trained on how to reintegrate into society, and to break a few of our hermit-tendencies.

🎩🚩 Historians explain that #17thcentury English society used hat etiquette to maintain social hierarchy and express political defiance.

Refusing to uncover one's head could be interpreted as a revolutionary act, while appearing in public without a #hat was associated with #poverty or #mentalillness.

Why Taking Off Your Hat Was a Matter of Life and Death in Early Modern England

Going outside without a hat in 1600s England meant you were either completely insane or totally broke.

"It’s hardly the first time Trump has revealed his God complex. ...

But Trump’s malignant narcissism is now utterly out of control. Attacking the Pope. Posting pictures of himself as Jesus. Claiming he won the war in Iran. The man has become delusional, violent, and dangerous."

~ Robert Reich

Trump's God Complex Is Getting Even Worse

He believes he's the savior, not because he wants to save anyone but because he wants to dominate everyone

David Kurtz entitles his Morning Memo posting at TPM today:

"Trump II Spirals Deeper Into Madness in One Bonkers Weekend."

Then, noting his attack on the pope, Kurtz says,

"We’re still nowhere near the bottom of Trump II’s descent into madness."

Morning Memo

"He chases cards, refuses to walk away, and turns what could just be a run of bad luck into full-on bankruptcy.

That’s where Trump is right now. And it is delicious."

"This is what it looks like when a man is spiraling out of control and reaching for something—anything—to get well. This is playing on tilt.

In poker, when a player is on tilt he loses the ability to judge between good and bad risks. He’s so desperate that he pushes all-in not because he has the nuts, but because he thinks he has no choice."
