It can't be otherwise, as these characters are driven by death instinct that compels them to destroy all that's good and decent in society as they pursue their primitive goals.”

You’re right of course. Perhaps the human refusal to learn about normal and abnormal psychology, and how it impacts all aspects of civilization will be documented in a history book for any future generations to read. 😞

The time(s) to fix the onslaught of the pathocracy was 1st: before the power elite schemed to get him elected in 2016. Next was beginning Jan. 2021 after the inauguration, indictments, trials, convictions, prison. Finally in the 2025 election cycle.
Now I think it’s must just play out. 😞

The political gamesmanship is so convoluted & the public’s expectations for a fix make it nearly impossible to label it anything.
The system is as double-bound as any terribly dysfunctional family w/pathologically evil parents is.
I think the nightmare logjam was unfixable. People will die.

There’s not a lot of warmth, if any, in that laughter… not in his, nor coming from those in the room laughing with him.
It’s very dark. Hackles on the back of the neck creepy.

I can’t recall when I found this from him. This was written during the Predator-in-Chief’s first term. It’s all still pertinent of course.

Do you have others around who can support you as you do the details that come fast at us in the hours & days after our loved one dies?
Even when we’ve felt the sadness & pain of anticipatory grief & loss, we still feel it all … for as long as it takes.
