Oooh, it's so satisfying when someone asks a question about some abstract thing that they are referencing but don't know the original reference and others come through and provide the original source of the reference.
Or when someone says, "I saw this article once, about Y through the lens of Z -- does anyone know what I'm talking about?" and someone drops the link in the thread.

"His multiple emotional and psychological issues — the malignant narcissism, the pathological lying, the utter, sociopathic absence of empathy, and yet also an almost childlike manipulability — would be disturbing enough in an unemployed drifter.

"After news of Reiner and his wife Michele’s brutal murder broke, the right leveraged it to score political points.
'You won’t see people on the right celebrating the horrific murder of Rob Reiner and his wife,' posted Jack Posobiec. He told readers to 'Compare the Left’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder,' even though there were no Democratic officials who had actually celebrated."

"But then Trump climbed in his AI fighter jet and dropped shit all over Posobiec’s argument. …

I think we all need to stop talking about Trump's health, and focus instead on his utter lack of a conscience.
If we all work very hard, Trump can someday be brought to trial for his crimes against humanity, and the last thing we want to do is enable some kind of insanity defense.
"For the rest of us [who aren't in the MAGA cult], this has to be a moment of clarity and forward vision. We are lucky that Trump and his cronies are so transparently incompetent and hollow. If they were even remotely capable the challenge would be much, much worse. But what Trump does for us is to set a very clear and very recognizable example of what it is that we do not want."

My mother had Alzheimer's and episodes of psychosis. The geriatric doctor had spent time explaining the effects to us and how to spot the progress of disease.
My mom said and did bad things, but we knew that it was the disease, not her.
Similarly, we should have pity for the king of USA because he puts his mental illness on display for the whole world to see. Any anger should be directed towards Congress and the VP who do not invoke the 25th amendment.
Dementia will amplify things, but also intoduce new ones. My mom decided that my 90 year old dad was having an affair with her 20 year old hairdresser 😉
For The Reiners, Trump's post shows loss of ability to gauge a situation and react as if he were in a sitcom , not realising this was a real death.
