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.

You'll never guess what the diagnosis turned out to be. /s
"Canadian legal scholar Joel Bakan published The Corporation. He asked Robert Hare, the psychologist who had spent four decades developing the clinical tools used to diagnose psychopathy, to evaluate a publicly traded corporation against his Psychopathy Checklist as if the corporation were a person."
"We seem to be infected by a spiritual, moral, and societal flat-eartherism; a cultural death of discernment taking place in matters of credibility and evidence"
Or, as George Orwell put it:
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
This is what happens when psychopaths rule: Welcome to the #pathocracy, where everyone must pretend that reality is what Dear Leader say it is.
"Musk is aware that his right-wing, white-nationalist politics bring forth only chaos and immiseration for vast swaths of the public. His answer to this is to close ranks. To those he sees as worthy of life, he offers what the authors call “sovereignty as a service”...electric vehicles built to insulate the consumer from geopolitical oil shocks, and on the national level with Starlink’s satellites and SpaceX’s rockets. At his core, Musk is a survivalist"

Welcome to the #pathocracy. Many 'leaders' are narcissists. They don't, won't, and actually cannot care about us. And they're taking us all down with them until we put a stop to it.
