Tom Nichols from The Atlantic called it. He said millions of people will vote for Trump b/c they want the reality TV show that is Trump play out, and/or they want millions of Americans to suffer in order to satiate their sadism. They anticipate and welcome the carnage.

Then America has an epidemic of mental illness.Empathy is the keystone of humanity and the society that we strive to build. There is a fixation with 'reality tv' and social media cults but neither are reality are they.The good thing is that people like David work hard to debunk some of the myths that influence the electoral ballots in the USA and indeed elsewhere in the free world where free elections still prevail.

This is the perfect Christmas gift for myself! I'm looking forward to reading it with my cat (my lap is extra comfy when I have a book in my hand, apparently 😊).

I pre-ordered your book from my local bookstore on Vancouver Island, but I pay when I pick it up. Won't have a receipt by your March cut off date.

I guess I should have ordered it from a huge book seller. Bummer!

Pre-ordered on Audible. Spouse has early dementia and Audible is easiest way to “read” a book. I can listen while walking the dog 🐕.

I think you should first note Im in your camp. I like that you dig deep and express exoress your view with conviction. well. I am sorry that you and all liberal media does not pass the buck and find ways better to divert a crisis about to happen. Preaching to the choir is about cashing in on The current system of popularity and

Fear. So surprised you do not think about this.

Your challenge should be about a brilliant opportunity to shine and make a difference not a rating, a Tessla, and a fabulous life and bank account. God Bless America

When I click the Barnes & Noble link it refreshes a few times and then I get this:

I'm sure your book is awesome 💗

This place and two others are privately owned.

I came by way of HRA. I was evicted and had no other place to go.

I'm very depressed and now I'm angry and anxious. I don't know the system or how it works. Most ppl here have mental illness like dementia. Some are alcoholics.

A lot of addictions. Uneducated ppl. Have ppl in the system and very religious.

I don't mean to sound paranoid but I think these ppl do something w the Medication and Medicaid. They didn't reorder my meds the way I was taking it. When they raised the dose which I wanted to try bc I'm always in pain, they gave me a big fat white tablet. It was not the same bc it's hard to digest. It's the reason I don't take calcium tablets ;

although I need to.

I looked at the reviews and it's been 8 years since anyone said anything good about this place.

Dave I got great respect for you, but everybody and his dog has written a book. My cat George has written a book, just waiting for a publisher. Frankly I think it's garbage bet he's proud of it. I'm sure your book is good stuff and very relevant but it's not that big a deal.

So, where's your book? Can we order it? Or maybe just congratulate him because writing a book is an achievement.

I wasn't in the mood to deal with you earlier today, All hail Lord caffeine!! So here's my point, which I already said, is EVERYBODY IS WRITING A BOOK. Yes mostly celebrities but also people I watch on regular basis; Bryn Tyler Conan or Cohen, Pakman, and others. There is a glut on the market, so when David Pakman writes a book I am not impressed. I say big deal and bite me.

I'm sure it's awesome. 💗

I have fallen out of step.

I can't keep up with what's happening anymore.

I am living in a place that would be considered a subculture.

The ppl here many of them should be in nursing homes. Most others have walkers. It's Privately came

Living here is a nightmare.
