HuffPost puts out a lot of filler articles, but this isn’t one of them.

Even though the writer pulls a few punches in the name of professional responsibility (yes, we know Trump isn’t your patient, but let’s just agree, he meets all the criteria of a narcissist), Trump’s use of narcissistic abuser tactics is the single most important observation we need to collectively make to recover as a country. I’ve been banging this drum for a long time - we are trapped in a compulsory relationship with Trump.

Mass media allows Trump to personally abuse us to ensure we keep giving him attention and acceding our power. There’s no difference between us and another domestic psychological abuse victim, except that we’re multiplied by 350 million and Trump has unprecedented power to make our lives miserable to get what he wants.

Until we call this what it is - narcissistic abuse - we’re never going to break out of it.

Putin, who has maintained the same “tight team” of top diplomats around him for the past 25 years, dispatched his Stanford-educated economic adviser Kirill Dmitriev, former ambassador to Washington Yuri Ushakov, and Sergei Lavrov, his comic villain foreign minister, to recent talks in Saudi Arabia.

“These guys are really skilled diplomats. They all speak absolutely excellent English,” said Hill. “They can talk the hind leg off a donkey. They can turn you around in circles. They’ve got an answer for everything.”

Batting for the US are Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, Mike Waltz, Mr Trump’s erstwhile national security adviser, and his special envoy Steve Witkoff, a former real estate dealer. Between them, they have less than a year’s-worth of cabinet-level experience.

So, what does the dancing Russian bear make of these three cotillion debutantes? “They’re eating the neophytes on the US side for dinner,” said Hill.

I saw Hill’s testimony and she is extremely credible and intelligent. This is her bottom line, and it is that we are fighting global information and geopolitical warfare against a merciless and shrewd veteran with a clown car circus act.

They have imagined a threat (there isn’t one) so they can imagine they are in danger or persecuted (they aren’t), so they can imagine they deserve a savior (they don’t), who they imagine Donald Trump to be (he most definitely isn’t one).

I’d say it’s a cult, but I doubt most cults even require this level of mental gymnastics.

That’s a hell of an act. What do you call it?

Yeah, a sarcastic GIF but you are technically correct (the best kind).

The only states it’s lower than are:

• New York

The term in the industry is “gross-up.”

“I’m not illegal, you’re illegal!”

Still thinking like an 8-year-old.

I’m fairly convinced they only believe in themselves, as a psychological axiom. Moral good is that which makes them richer, happier, or more powerful.

That’s all there is at the base of our entire system of government at the moment.

Is this a thing? This seems like a very high learning curve.

“We were waiting until it was important.”

Oh, disagreeing with the post, huh? Looks like we found the AI troll, get 'em everyone!

For David Zaslov, about $200 million.

I’m getting mixed messages here.

My father loved this meme. My favorite memory is of reading this meme with him sitting on the couch with the family puppy. He died tragically ten years ago, hit by a runaway dildo delivery truck while taking our puppy to the vet to have puppy aids treatment. I cry every time I see this meme.

Simple answer? Tax cuts for the rich are going to have to be paid for by creating more public debt.

Well, just for others who might do the same:

I thought it would be an interesting read, so I searched and it looks like this was never a real article: https://knowyourmeme.com/news/no-christian-bale-did-not-roast-sigma-bale-idolizers

That’s always been the case with anti-“DEI” rhetoric. Barely-veiled racism, and an excuse to engage in kakistocracy while crying for meritocracy.

I get that it’s an easy dunk, but the iterations and options for effective spycraft using freely available technology and knowledge are effectively limitless, when you have weeks of exclusive, unsupervised access to something as big and complex as a plane.
