Well, thank that God Thing that YOU are writing about Trump's reaction to deaths. I'll look forward to how you write about HIS death. Nothing can stop this man--not the media, not the Congress, not even the bleeding heart of democracy itself.
Well written as usual and on the money. There is an ironic parallel here.
For years the Reiners knew they had and out of control son. I am sure they did not foresee the damage that was lurking right in front of them until it was too late.
Same same for Trump. His supporters have stood idly by watching his decline with very lttle pushback. In fact many gleefully apologize and encourage it. At what point is enough, enough?
People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Don Junior is a huge coke head.
Nick Reiner was a punk. His family and parents didn’t want to believe it but his sister knew exactly what he was. I’ve had a lot of experience dealing with drunks and druggies. Some of them truly are victims and self medicate and it’s worth helping them but lot of them are not worth the effort. They are often narcissists and sociopaths and drug use and reckless behavior is just part of their personality. The effort the Reiner family put into this was wasted effort. He was a bad seed just like Trump and the Trump kids. Beyond redemption!
Agree, however what is a family supposed to do when they have a ticking time bomb on their hands? He has been in rehab and given all society has to offer. I am sure he played up to them which supports the narcissitic personality. If he had not been a celebrities son and given lots of extra chances, he might have been committed for life or just left to die on the streets.
You are right, there are those that cannot be helped. But those should not be allowed to just wander the streets and do what they want. Use of illegal drugs is a crime for not only the possession, but aiding and abetting the drug trade.
These days, instead of putting dangerous people and hopelessly mentally ill people in the nuthouse, they put them around the streets. Our society throws them away like they are garbage. They put these people on medication that doesn’t work all that well and then they become a problem for the cop who are often not trained on how to deal with them. Very often the police brutalize them because they can get away with it.
You can judge a society by how they treat the meek and the weak and everyone else cannot fight for themselves. When we look at the un distribution of wealth and so many have so little and so you have so much, it further shows the depravity of the filthy rich members of the corporate criminal elite ruling class.
We can complain about Republicans and their depravity but they are just the foot soldiers for the billionaire class. The billionaires are the command and control of these souless droids.
As I understand it, the family has annied up the money for the best defense lawyer money can buy. Kill the parents and use their estate to defend yourself. Not sure what to make of that, My money is onthe tried and true dark side defense. Dust off and polish up the Melendes Bros abuse defense. It is California so anything goes there, even though it did not work for the Bros.
It will probably be a blame the victim defense. That’s what Casey Anthony’s lawyer did.
The murderer is impaired and probably should’ve been put in the nuthouse long ago.
I have little sympathy for substance abusers. They simply are not worth the effort. After the second failure after rehab they should be sequestered from society. The males should be castrated and females spayed for the public good. Same goes for MAGATS.
Second that, reproducing insanity should not be allowed. Same for rapists and wife beaters. We neuter male dogs to reduce aggression well that should be applied to criminals. I would also apply it to men who father multiple children with different wives and do not provide child support.
He has been an entitled narcissist for decades, but the public use of words like Piggy etc is an increase of his ability to regulate his emotional responses. He forgets things/words in his speeches, deviates from the main point into irrelevant stories, etc he is in my opinion definitely showing an increase of cognitive decline. It is pretty disturbing that his devotees are covering up for him at the expense of the safety of troops, of the Nation and jobs, economy, hate ridden norms etc. The American public suffers as this serious issue continues it's obvious decline.
There's at least one other telling tick—his talking about himself in the third person. Gawd, one is enough, but perhaps he's trying to distance himself from himself. Every other normal person is putting as much distance as possible from him.
Which, of course, the malignant narcissist IS. I hadn't really noticed that earlier, but that may be because I work hard at avoiding listening to him. The transcripts are more than bad enough.
You are dead-on, acutely correct, David, concerning Trump’s accelerating cognitive deterioration becoming notably markedly worse in his publicly manifested, now overtly grotesque and inhumane, decline of impulse control. But there is another medical metric besides his increasingly obvious dementia, and that is his singularly -- and jointly with dementia more explosively perilous for the rest of us -- progressive loss of psychological decompensation (“a breakdown in an individual’s defense mechanisms, resulting in progressive loss of normal functioning or worsening of psychiatric symptoms” -- American Psychological Association Dictionary of Psychology). Renowned forensic and social psychiatrist and violence expert Dr. Bandy X. Lee and her eminent psychiatric colleagues have been warning for the past decade about the existential danger to all humankind of investing the power to launch a nuclear war in the hands of such a mentally-disordered individual as Trump, who clearly suffers from the psychopathic anti-social personality disorder of severe malignant narcissism. This severe condition is one that mental health care professionals standardly find to be untreatable and incurable.
The bottom line, which begs his imminent removal from power, is that worsening Trump’s personality disorder -- potentiated by the cognitive decline of his accelerating dementia -- is not only publicly observable but poses a direct threat to public health and safety, if not civilizational and existential human survival.
This has been discussed on several other channels. Basically, as his dementia has progressed his "filters" are becoming far and few between. His outbursts will become more extreme and his comments more abusive and bizarre.
There is also been discussion that he's on an Alzheimer's drug which can cause cerebral haemmorage, or brain bleeds, hence the stream of MRIs he's received.
Speculation is he'll be dead by next summer if things continue the way they have.
This has been what I was talking about. Trump like a cornered rabid wild animal with weapons, far right freaks and technology that this animal will use violently. He must be removed immediately.
Trump has always been disinhibited. He’s always been a sociopath. He’s always been a pathological liar. A lot of billionaires are like him. But he’s also a narcissist and histrionic. This probably has a lot less to do with his brain and people are saying. Narcissist nervous saying anything nice about someone unless they think it’s gonna benefit them. Everything with them including an especially marriage his transactional. That’s how it is with most billionaires and other filthy rich slime.
When Trump is nodding off it probably has more to do with the fact that he doesn’t sleep much because he’s up all night posting on anti-truth anti-social.
Trump is probably on a dangerous cocktail of medications.
Trump was toxic at the moment his toxic father’s sperm fertilized his mother’s toxic egg at nine months after that came Trump’s rectal birth.
Trump knows he’s not going to run again because not only is that he can’t he’ll probably be in a hole in the ground in a year or two. He’s just putting out as much toxins as he can.
A lot of people throw out the word narcissist but I don’t think most people fully appreciate what a narcissist actually is. The best way to describe people like Donald Trump and a lot of Republicans in general would be to describe them as incorrigible bratty children in adult bodies. These people are incurable and get worse and with overtime. The depravity of these people is their heredity. His kids are just like him especially Donald Junior and Eric, a.k.a. Tweedledum and Tweedledumber.
The Trump Whitehouse is the most dangerous and the biggest threat in this country has ever seen. They are the enemy from within. Whining about Trump his waste of breath. There were actually some halfway decent people in the first White House. Trump couldn’t get along with them because they didn’t bow to him.
Trump‘s temperament has always been horrible. This is probably why, Trump had to be sequestered into Rich boy fake military school because if he had go to public school he would’ve gotten beat up by girls and boys.
His default ‘setting’ is to insult people. You're right it's gotten worse since 2015 - that was kinda onset but he's always been a total arse to everybody I'm guessing?.
This is his payback from everybody. We get to see him falling apart on camera and he's SUFFERING for sure! He deserves it. He's a walking-mostly- puppet. Go do all your Dementia in the ballroom ‘mr president’. Let the others behind the scenes show what they're all doing.
I'm almost certain they'll play the Insanity card in court because “we didn't know! We weren't told all of it!”
The 25th amendment should’ve been invoked in his first term. Pathological lying is a severe mental illness. It’s more than enough to have had him removed.
Our government has been broken long before Trump.
There are three ways to remove Trump legally. The first one is with the 25th amendment, the second is because of his high crimes and misdemeanors which include treason and insurrection and the third way would be a military bloodless coup. The third option would be the best because then all of the criminals could be removed in one fell swoop. We could have something like the Nuremberg trials and we could put the corporate criminals away for life and more ways than one.
WE KNOW IT'S THERE CLEARLY, JUST BY BEHAVIOR, SPEACH, MEMORY LAPSE, FORGETTING WHAT LAST CONVERSATIONS WERE ABOUT, TALKING ABOUT SHIT THAT HAPPENED WHEN it WAS YOUNG. DEFINITELY WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR OR CARE ABOUT LISTENING TO. IT'S ABOUT TODAY , SOOO TODAY its GOTTA GO. BE GONE MONSTER POOF
Y'all - his brain is leaving the white house, and it's much more than just falling asleep. Dementia runs in the family, his brain is getting more damaged as time goes on. He doesn’t have a great deal of control over what's happening any more. His default 'setting' is to insult people because he DOESN'T know who they are &he doesn’t know why they’re in front of him, like the media. he knows that people dying is a bad thing &he's been told that the person is his friend. He gets frustrated& angry that he can't remember no matter how much he tries because dying is BAD. he can't always connect the faces to the names. he started his life being rude &getting his own way. so now he’s getting toward the end of his life,his brain is so confused that it just goes back to the insults. He's getting his own way. Using just his ego. staying in fancy safe places. having lots of rich people around him. Knowing the status of his money. Knowing where he lives. They put up signs for him. Like they do in memory care clinics. But definitely don’t normalise the fact that he’s doing all these things 100% cause I have a sneaking suspicion that some of it he’s just ...trumping. I don't like him. I just know stuff.
I’ve been watching Trump’s political career for over 10 years. Even in 2016, his behavior seemed to be that of a man who was fighting mental demons. As time has passed, he has become more and more unpredictable. His mental decline is obvious, even to nonprofessional observers. Psychologists and psychiatrists have tried to warn us about him, but in many cases have been silenced. How long will it be before it can no longer be ignored?
The disappearance of restraint happens to most people when they get old. For some, it shows up as becoming a gambling fiend, for some it's swearing up a storm.
My dad, who is now 97 years old, started showing this lack of restraint in a very different way. Maybe because he was always VERY restrained, always acting proper and keeping to etiquette. (He's Norwegian.) But a few years ago, it started showing up as remembering names and events. Today, when we wonder who played that part in which movie, it's always, "Ask Pappa!"
I hope that I, and you too, have a positive disappearance of restraint. In the meantime, we can cringe and gasp at what we see in the oval office.
Well, thank that God Thing that YOU are writing about Trump's reaction to deaths. I'll look forward to how you write about HIS death. Nothing can stop this man--not the media, not the Congress, not even the bleeding heart of democracy itself.

There is no excuse for mean and ugly.

You are right, if left untreated they can become president and occupy the WH.

How long do we call it “early onset?” He’s 79! And how long do we call it “early stage?” We’ve been talking to it for years!
It's not early onset, people are just so busy that they don't research enough
But restraint hasn't disappeared. It's never been there to start with.
He has been an entitled narcissist for decades, but the public use of words like Piggy etc is an increase of his ability to regulate his emotional responses. He forgets things/words in his speeches, deviates from the main point into irrelevant stories, etc he is in my opinion definitely showing an increase of cognitive decline.

There's at least one other telling tick—his talking about himself in the third person. Gawd, one is enough, but perhaps he's trying to distance himself from himself. Every other normal person is putting as much distance as possible from him.
He's always done that... with great reverence, as if he's in awe of himself.
Which, of course, the malignant narcissist IS. I hadn't really noticed that earlier, but that may be because I work hard at avoiding listening to him. The transcripts are more than bad enough.
Trump should be in jail where he belongs.
