Developmental psychology question here: is there a name for an admission before accusation?
I had a toddler greet me with, "I didn't poop my pants." and a very serious expression.
I only ask because a certain unnamed President seems to habitually deny accountability for policy in the same way.

We can’t afford healthcare, clean water, or education, but somehow there’s always room in the budget for tax breaks for yachts.

So we’re just making up ideas out loud on TV in Congress now. The truth is whatever tf they say it is. Orwell didn’t know things would be this annoying and stupid though.

It's heretical for lawyers to say this stuff ☝🏻 out loud - 'what might you, the great unwashed, conclude about the law?' - but we discuss it privately and believe it to be true.
Whatever drove that Supreme Court decision, it was absolutely not the law.

Everyone who studies Trump closely—this author included—said to take his many prior intimations about seeking a permanent presidency seriously.
More often than not we were scoffed at by the normopaths in journalism who still don't understand that this man is a sociopath and fascist.
We were right.

When the United States invoked NATO Article 5 after the 2001 terrorist attacks, Canada and Denmark deployed troops to Afghanistan without restricted rules of engagement. Canadians and Danes fought and died for the Americans.
Words fail on seeing the U.S. attack these allies now.

During the Nuremberg trials the nazis found out that the excuse that they were only following orders didn't work for them, these so called officers should think about that.

Why aren’t we fighting back? If they’re going to brazenly go full fascist like they have been, our only recourse will become arming ourselves. I don’t want to get there, but our window for even that to be viable will only continue to close.

Anger often serves as a defense mechanism to mask underlying feelings of shame. When individuals experience shame, they may react defensively, particularly when criticized, which can trigger anger as a way to divert attention from their hidden, painful feelings of shame.
