Not only is Donald "FAT UNATTRACTIVE LOSER" Trump a fat, unattractive LOSER, but he has narcisstic personality disorder, too!
Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!
So! The narcissist on TV wants to become the narcissist in the White House.
Many people are saying that fat insecure unattractive girly-man loser Donald Trump is a classic case of narcissistic personality disorder. Let's take a look at what that means...with m00bies below to back up the discussion.
According to the Mayo Clinic website, "Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism. A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs."
The Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) website has more details:
Narcissistic Traits
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
- Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
- Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
- Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
- Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
- Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
- Requires excessive admiration
- Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
- Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
- Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
Lack of empathy is one of the most striking features of people with narcissistic personality disorder. It's a hallmark of the disorder in the same way that fear of abandonment is in borderline personality disorder."Narcissists do not consider the pain they inflict on others; nor do they give any credence to others' perceptions," says Dr. Les Carter. "They simply do not care about thoughts and feelings that conflict with their own." Do not expect them to listen, validate, understand, or support you.”
Here are examples from partners of narcissists:
- He would actually get mad at me if I was sick. I said, "I sat here with you for days when you were depressed and couldn't get out of bed. And now you can't even be a little nice to me when I am sick?"
- My partner would hurt my feelings just when things were going well. When I would question him about it, he would make up excuses and tell me I'm wrong for feeling the way I did, and if I didn't like it there was something wrong with me.
- I could spend an hour detailing how I felt hurt and she would sit there, cold as ice. When it was her turn to speak, she tore down every word that came out of my mouth until I had to apologize for expressing how I felt. I ignored this red flag and made excuses to myself and others.
This lack of empathy is so foreign to us--even some animals show evidence of empathy--that shocking instances can break through the denial and the hoping that one day we will get our turn. While it may leave us outraged, hurt, and feeling betrayed, it can be an eye-opening incident that we really need to acknowledge the limitations of individuals with NPD. As painful as it can be, though, we no longer feel as confused by the push-pull (or in some cases, just the push).
Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
Grandiosity" means, a sustained, unrealistic sense of being superior—better than other people. It also refers to a sense of uniqueness; the belief that few others have anything in common with oneself and that one can only be understood by a few or very special people. A narcissist says:I have always believed I was destined to do or be something great. Known, loved, or admired by all--not that I took any steps to ensure that I actually did anything worth mentioning. I hand-pick friends who support my own ideal of myself.
My best friend in high school was another guy who, like me, knew we were better than everyone else. Gods among men. I surrounded myself with women I knew were attracted to me, even if I wasn't attracted to them, to show how desirable I was.
A man who had a narcissistic partner says:
My ex Sarah believed herself to be above everyone in Chicago after living in the suburb of Skokie, Ill. When I met her she told me she had been the creative director at a big advertising agency, her children had attended Ivy League universities, and she had jet-stetted with celebrities. She said she was superior in her breeding, background and culture.
After a few months, I found out she had been only an assistant production intern and had heavily used cocaine and amphetamines. Before she met me, she had been a stay-at-home mom for 15 years while married to an abusive husband.
And for the ten years before I met her, she had taught high school. She was born to an abusive mother who hit frequently when she was a child.
Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
Narcissistic entitlement is not the same as self-worth; for example, that is, the belief that one is worthy of accomplishments earned through hard work. Instead, the narcissist is like a toddler who never learned he is not the center of the world and becomes enraged when others don't meet his immediate demands.Some of these narcissists are honest about their dealings with others. They will practically tell you that they have an utter disregard for others. Other narcissists are a bit more subtle about the unwritten guidelines for living with someone who becomes irrationally angry when others don't go along with their demands.
Some examples from family members:
- Deanna felt entitled to special treatment because of her professional background, her good looks, and her upscale childhood in New York City. She would become abusive, paranoid, and angry whenever she did not get her way. Other people would give in because they didn't want to cause a scene. She was charming and emotionally seductive to get people to cater to her requests.
- After their final breakup, James broke into his girlfriend's house while she was at work. When she got home, the house was ransacked. She immediately called him about the mess: he said yes, it was him, and if she had a problem with it then she should call the police.
- Although the family didn't have a lot of money, Sheila bought herself expensive silk dresses and pearl earrings. She had unnecessary plastic surgery that was not covered by insurance. When her husband dared to question it, she lied about cancelling the surgery."
- Dan tried to convince his wife that he shouldn't have to warm up dinner himself when he gets home late, so she shouldn't go out at night with the kids.
Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
Narcissists lack empathy, feel entitled and above the rules, and see other people as appendages whose sole purpose is to fill them with narcissistic supply. Yet sometimes the narcissist doesn't get everything she needs through more subtle means. She needs to take a more direct approach. They take advantage of others to achieve their own ends.An exploitative relationship may take many forms. But it generally involves using others without regard for their own feelings and interests. The narcissist doesn't even think about what's best for others. He places no value on open, fair and honest exchanges.
He's too concerned with satiating his own hunger for whatever it is that he needs, be it physical, emotional, financial, whatever. For narcissists with some kind of power, such as religious figures, chief executives, politicians and the like, this is like taking candy from a baby
For example, Mona fell under the spell of Matthew, her psychiatrist. The two became lovers after he shared details about his cold and distant wife and confided how lonely he was. Mona says:
He pursued me, a client, to fulfill his need for love and adoration (I was a willing participant, yet I was so fragile at the time). He needed someone to split the rent of his office, so he went into business with a long term client who needed office space. A client became his vet, a client became his financial planner, a client who led golf trips asked him to come to a premium golf outing at some island.
Fear, obligation, and guilt hook family members into giving as much as they can even when it's clearly against their best interest. Narcissists and people-pleasers/codependents have a way of finding each other. The cycle only stops when the non-disordered partner accepts that things will only change when he or she becomes aware that this is a one way relationship and that they will always be in the giving, not getting, role.
Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
Narcissists must be superior to others in every single way. So when someone else has something they don't have that they want: admiration, status, skills, objects, etc.--the narcissist sees it as a major threat. Like so much else in the narcissistic mind, it is unconscious, discounted and denied, which makes it more treacherous for the object of his envy. Therapist Sandy Hotchkiss says, "To admit to envy would be to acknowledge inferiority, which no good narcissist would ever do."Partners of narcissists say:
- When an article about me was published in the local newspaper, he remarked that it was only in the community section that ‘only old people read.’ He will also remark negatively about people at his work who he thinks are unjustly in higher positions than he is, as he is 'much more intelligent' than them.
- To avoid being envious, he was always the first one to purchase a new gadget that came out, and he bought more than one so he could look like a big shot when he gave them away.
- He has told me he is envious of my faith. I can have peace inside and a good attitude even if the world around me is a mess. I know he turns up the charm and brags to make women interested/envious of him and his lifestyle.
Requires excessive admiration
Narcissists need admiration all the time. They surround themselves with others who will give them positive reinforcement for their sparkling wit, wonderful personality, and so on and so on. When someone with NPD in your life is in immediate need for admiration, he may have experienced cracks in his superior self-image and need an admiration injection.Here is how another narcissist describes his need for admiration:
Since I have risen from such adversity, I expect others should look on me with admiration and respect at getting this far from so little. They should be awed at my accomplishments and know the man before them has done things they themselves have never even had the balls to even dream of doing. My kindness should be praised, my wisdom should be sought, and my touch should be craved.
Karen, who had an NPD girlfriend, says:
My ex-girlfriend constantly needed to be acknowledged, adored, and admired. She would get mad at me if I didn't call her each morning on my way to work and on the way home (we didn't live together), yet she would also get upset because she said it felt like pressure for me to call her. She said, "I don't want to have to answer, but I want you to call and at least leave a message because I need to know that I matter." The same thing occurred with her wanting me to text her all the time. If I didn't respond to her texts within a few minutes, she would text again and say, "did you get my text?"
She would get mad at me while we were watching television if I got too involved in watching the show and didn't respond and talk to her at least every few minutes. I couldn't shift my gaze at all while she was talking to me. If I did, she would get mad and say that I wasn't paying attention to her and that she didn't matter enough for me to stay present to her.
Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
Arrogance is another defense mechanism that keeps the narcissist a legend in his own mind, free from the stain of the imperfection of other human beings. Remember, narcissists (and borderlines) split, seeing themselves and others in black and white.Someone has to be on top, and someone has to be on the bottom. Being judgmental and power hungry staves off the stink of imperfection.
Spouses say:
- In her highly abusive moments, her entire demeanor would change as she adopted highbrow attitudes, vocabulary, manner of dress, and feelings of superiority. She refused to do virtually any chores in the household for five years because they were beneath her and her alleged background of privilege and power.
- My husband bought at least 11 exotic, expensive cars in the space of four years. He always showed them off. I thought it was obnoxious that he brought them to work and had a different car every six months but he always brushed me off and told me I didn't know what I was talking about. He also did this every time he bought an expensive watch, like a Rolex.
- She will often foster relationships in which she can gain something or look good. Then, she would criticize them behind her back.
- When he was feeling good about himself, then he would act as if I wasn't good enough and that he needed to move on. He would say things like, "I don't know if you are what I want. I guess I'll never know. I think I want more and I know there are a lot of other girls that express their interest in me. Maybe I should be dating them."When I would say, that's fine, if that is how you feel I will walk away. But when I would say that then he would turn around and say, "No, I don't want to lose you."It was all a game. When I stop playing I became "evil."
Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
It's great to be better than everyone else and sometimes hang around with people who think you're the best. But as they say, it does get lonely at the top (well, at least it does for those narcissists who allow themselves to feel anything resembling pain).People who are not special--the waitresses, secretaries, and janitors of the world--may be rudely treated by narcissists (and NPs may demand special favors to boot). They have no patience with those who are there to serve them, while making extra efforts to reach out to those who are as special (but not more special) than they are.
Some examples from family members:
- She only wanted to associate with people she deemed "spiritual" and more "conscious" than most people. Her friends had "higher" up jobs that she could benefit from, like attending cool parties, gatherings, workshops, poetry readings, etc.
- He thinks because of his wealth he is above others. He wouldn't go to my son's school fundraiser because the people there are "common." He needed to know, "Will anyone there be in tuxedos?"
- His kids go to schools where you have to be rich to afford the tuition. Even though we really can't afford it, they go because he likes to associate with the fathers: the famous football players and rich businessmen. He talks about the big names he knows and makes them seem like best buddies even though he barely knows them.
Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
This refers to the narcissist's need to fend off inner emptiness, feel special and in control, and avoid feelings of defectiveness and insignificance. While we all fantasize, the trouble with narcissist fantasy is that the narcissist treads a fine line between what is magical thinking and what is real. As unhealthy as it is for the narcissist, it becomes gaslighting for his family members and contributes to their own confusion, frustration, and magical thinking.A woman says, "Before my husband went into therapy, he frequently based our plans on fantasy scenarios of sudden wealth (winning the Lotto) rather than on a realistic in-the-here-and-now plan. In terms of our relationship, he had built up a happy-ever-after scenario that had no basis in reality. He had himself so convinced of the happy-ever-after scenario that he wasn't even able to hear me when I expressed the need for the trust/honesty issues between us to be addressed."
The narcissist and his or her partner all get caught up in idealized, obsessive relationship in which "I love you's" are declared more quickly than the time it takes to download "Hello, I Love You," by the Doors on the Internet.
Relationships begin with the terms "white knight," "princess," "fairy tale" and "soulmate." And too often, the tale ends unhappily when the person who was split "white" either becomes split black (often in the case with BPs) or discarded when they start making demands and fresh narcissistic supply comes along. People confuse intensity with intimacy, which takes time, self knowledge, honesty, consideration, and willingness to be vulnerable.
The bottom line is that people with NPD are extremely fragile, and their egos are not merely weak but brittle. Srsly, if you read the descriptions above, do they not scream "Donald John Trump" at you?
Unfortunately, my poor Tea Party Christian friend has some of these traits himself--so does his mother, as he describes her. But Donald Trump has them all in spades. No wonder my friend lurves him some Donald Trump--Drumpf is everything my poor friend wishes he were. Sad! Makes me wonder what Drumpf's childhood was like...makes me wonder whether his father beat him as a kid. Fred, Sr., certainly beat Donald, Sr., as a businessman--although he mimicked his father in so many ways, like all the racism and bigotry, Donald Trump will never hold a candle to his father's business prowess. He relied on his father to bail him out time after time after time after time until the old man finally kicked the bucket. And Donald J. Trump has proven time and time again that he just can't do it himself, no matter how many little people he sadistically tramples in the attempt.
What do you think will happen when (hopefully!!) Drumpf loses the election? Yeah, yeah--I know he's already priming his adherents to start riots if he's unsuccessful in stealing the election from Hillary. I know he's priming his bestest buddies like Sean "I have Trumpthing orange in my mouth" Hannity and Roger "I'm a lecherous perv, too" Ailes to start up TrumpTV, which will make Alex Jones's Infowars look like Daily Kos.
But what do you think will happen to Donald Trump's psyche? Do you think he'll ever recover enough mental equilibrium to pass for normal ever again? Or has he already gone irrevocably off the deep end?
Frankly, I'm hoping for the latter. After all, no Republican tears are as yummy as Donald John Trump's tears. Yeah, yeah...I know, I know...Donald J. Trump's poor beleaguered psyche is certainly a laughing matter.
Hehe!

And then he'll ask Donald Trump something devilishly difficult: "Spell 'Trump.'" *sigh* ...At least my dad is back home (yay--and doing great!!), so if I am in a sufficiently masochistic mood to watch the "debate," I'll at least have my dad with me for sanity...and Fireball!

FiveThirtyEight: For Many GOP Women, Party Loyalty Trumps Personal Affront
...I've said before that widespread GOP acceptance of Donald Trump's behavior toward women, including defense of the indefensible by so many female Drumpf surrogates, is proof that Republican women don't have any self respect. What do you expect when they meekly accept second-class status in their churches every Sunday?
Vox: Donald Trump is giving us a master class in why #WomenDontReport
...Like I said last time, just ask all the women who didn't report Bill Cosby until other brave souls broke the barrier. That is, unless you're a Republican who thinks that Bill Cosby is innocent and was framed by Hillary Clinton so that her girlfriends could get money and publicity.
Vox: A GOP strategist explains why the Republican Party is about to break in two
...Ugh, now I'll hafta go back through my old posts to find the headline saying that the Republican party is not about to split in two!
Vox: The Trump family loves Skittles analogies. So we used one to explain voter fraud to them.
...I know--let's candy smash the Trump family!
Vox: What we know: the firebombing of a GOP HQ in North Carolina
...And idiot Donald "perennial LOSER" Trump says it's because he's "winning." He wouldn't know "winning" if it grabbed him by the pussy. But it sure is interesting watching Republicans react so violently when some of their stuff is destroyed--their language isn't nearly as strong when, say, some white terrorist shoots up nine Black people in a church in South Carolina.
Vox: John Oliver rips into Trump: he "calls to mind both Frankenstein's monster and a rabid dog"
...Oh, but a rabid dog was once a nice, cuddly, lovable, good dog before it got sick...and it didn't have a choice about getting rabies or not. Donald Trump chooses to be an asshole every day and was an asshole from the minute they flipped the switch.

"Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p***y. You can do anything." That was Donald Trump bragging about getting away with sexually assaulting women in a conversation recorded in 2005. Trump's statement is so abhorrent that even many Republicans are running away from him in droves -- so why is Nike still associating with Trump by renting space in Manhattan's Trump Tower?
Let's make sure that no one thinks about Nike without also
thinking about Trump and his vile behavior. More than 35,000 Courage

From Faithful America--Liberty "University" students rebuke president Jerry Falwell, Jr., for supporting Donald Trump
Dear Faithful America member,
Jerry Falwell Jr, president of Liberty University, has emerged as the most prominent religious-right endorser of Donald Trump.
Even as sexual assault allegations against Trump continue to mount, Falwell has become a fixture on cable news defending and making excuses for Trump. And he's shamefully exploited his position as a college president, hosting both Trump and running mate Mike Pence at convocations that students are required to attend.
But now Liberty University students are rebelling against their own president and making headline news. Thousands have signed a statement complaining that Falwell has falsely "led the world to believe that Liberty University supports Donald Trump," and stating clearly: "Donald Trump does not represent our values and we want nothing to do with him."
Falwell is firing back, describing the students statement as "incoherent and false," and accusing them of "ignoring the teachings of Jesus." But with the eyes of the nation on Liberty University, Falwell is undermining the school's credibility as a Christian institution - and it's time for the board of trustees to act.
Tell Liberty University board: Falwell's campaign for Trump is a disgrace. Fire him.
Thanks!

From Daily Kos--Take back the House!!
The House was never supposed to be in play. Republicans had gerrymandered congressional maps so expertly after the 2010 midterm landslide that Democrats were supposed to be locked out of the House until 2022 at the earliest. But then came the Trumpocalypse.
New polls show Democrats opening up a big lead in the race for House—potentially big enough to overcome the GOP's unprecedented gerrymandering and return Nancy Pelosi to the speaker's chair. But wait, it gets better. Republicans—already trailing Democrats by seven points in generic ballot polls—drop to a 12-point deficit if they refuse to unendorse Trump. And Republicans who do unendorse him? They drop to a 12-point deficit too. They're Trumped if they do, Trumped if they don't.
That's why Daily Kos is going all-in to take back the House.
Can you chip in $1 to each of our 14 endorsed candidates to help turn the House blue?
Keep fighting,

Meet the new Jim Crow--same as the old Jim Crow...
If you have the same first and last name as another registered voter in another state -- your vote might be purged.
You read that right.
The “Interstate Crosscheck” program is disenrolling registered voters under the guise of preventing voter fraud. In 28 states, the program compiles lists of citizens who allegedly registered in more than one state and who can cast multiple ballots. These confidential lists contain seven million “potential criminals,” including one in seven voters of color in the Crosscheck states.
Sign the petition from 18MR, Daily Kos, and Rolling Stone investigative reporter Greg Palast to the Department of Justice (DOJ): Investigate and release the names of voters on the “Interstate Crosscheck” purge list.
Voter fraud is very rare and voter impersonation is nearly non-existent. Often alleged fraud is found to be unintentional human error. One account found that while the program has flagged 7.2 million possible double registrants, only four have actually been charged with deliberate double registration or double voting.
However, the myth of voter fraud helps disenfranchise likely Democratic voters. Rolling Stone investigative reporter Greg Palast found that Interstate Crosscheck “disproportionately threatens solid Democratic constituencies: young, black, Hispanic and Asian-American voters – with some of the biggest possible purges underway in Ohio and North Carolina, two crucial swing states with tight Senate races.”
Voters have been wrongly tagged and listed as registering or voting in two states -- just for having common, often "ethnic" names. As many as one million people may lose their right to vote by this November.
Tell the DOJ: Investigate and release the names of voters on the “Interstate Crosscheck” Purge list.
This is the first presidential election since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions of the Voting Rights Act. In the face of Trump, communities of color are even more vulnerable to voter intimidation and suppression. Interstate Crosscheck is yet another barrier to overcome in order to exercise our constitutional right to vote.
With Republican officials administering elections in most states, the DOJ is our last line of defense for protecting the right to vote. We need it to aggressively crack down on any attempt to intimidate voters or otherwise suppress the vote in 2016.
Add your name: Investigate and release the names of voters on the “Interstate Crosscheck” purge list.

From Daily Kos Liberation League--Stand with Standing Rock Sioux!
Please, friends--make this call. Due to my work situation, I may not be able to. I'm going to try to sneak out with my cell phone and do it anyway, but there's no guarantee I'll be able to. Please help me out and call if you can. Please and thank you!

After six months of protests the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, joined by hundreds of tribal nations, are still relentlessly fighting to protect their land and water from the Dakota Access oil pipeline. President Obama has responded to unprecedented tribal solidarity and organizing with half measures, and this dangerous pipeline keeps growing.
The Administration refused to authorize construction for a small portion of the 1,172-mile pipeline route and promised more consultation with tribal nations in the future. Meanwhile, peaceful protesters are constantly harassed and arrested, and journalists are targeted by police for their coverage of the protests.
Nearly 100,000 Daily Kos members have signed a petition urging President Obama to stop the Dakota Access pipeline. Half measures will not do. It's time to raise our voices and put even more pressure on the White House.
Call President Obama today and urge him to take bold, decisive action: Stop all construction on the Dakota Access pipeline. Here is a sample script:
White House phone number:
202-456-1111
Hello my name is _______. I'm calling to urge President Obama to stop all construction on the Dakota Access pipeline. This pipeline will leak oil in drinking water supplies, as it destroys important Native American sites. We need the President to stand for people and the environment, not protect big oil company profits.
After calling the White House, click here to tell us how it went.
Can't call? Then click here to sign and send a letter to President Obama, urging him to stop the destructive Dakota Access pipeline once and for all.

From Daily Kos--Volunteer to STOP TRUMP!
Last weekend was AMAZING!
Hundreds of volunteers from around the country contacted thousands of voters in crucial swing states like Ohio and Nevada to talk about what was at stake in this election and encourage them to vote!
These conversations are how we're going to defeat Trump and the Republican party's messages of racism, misogyny and hate. We couldn't do it without the incredible dedication of readers like you.
There are just 22 days left of this election. Our friends at MoveOn have volunteer shifts available all week, Monday - Friday: 5 p.m. ET - 11 p.m. ET. You can make calls from home or wherever you are comfortable. Training and support are provided.

P.S. You can read more about MoveOn's call program and the urgency of this campaign below.
First Lady Michelle Obama said it best, "Our nation's leaders should meet basic standards of human decency."
From the beginning, Donald Trump has failed to meet that threshold. He is dangerous—for women, for families, for people of color, for immigrants, for Muslims, for veterans, for our kids.
It's critical that we turn out as many voters as possible to elect Hillary Clinton and resoundingly defeat Trump. It's not enough just to stop him—we must send a message loud and clear: We reject Trump's sexism, racism, and hatred.

To reach millions of voters between now and November 8, we need all-hands-on-deck. Voters in crucial battleground states like Ohio and Nevada will determine the presidency and the Senate. Conversations with real people is the most effective way to ensure they turn out to vote.
MoveOn has made it easy to talk to voters in swing states no matter where you live. First time making calls? No problem. Training and support are provided.
Trump has shown us repeatedly how unfit he is to be president. I’m absolutely unwilling to take even the smallest chance that he might win -- are you?

Donald "FAT UNATTRACTIVE LOSER" Trump is in free fall, which clearly is a laughing matter
Ben "Brain and brain! What is brain?!" Carson is a total fraud: not only is he way too stupid ever to have been a brain surgeon, but he's not even a proper fundamentalist Christian! How do I know? Well, Ben Carson claims to believe the Bible literally, but he doesn't even believe the Bible, which is Jesus, which says that it's the heart, not the brain, that's the seat of all thought and emotion. What a hypocrite--Ben Carson claims to be a Christian, but he doesn't even believe his own Bible! Ben "if I only had a brain" Carson's thought processes are so warped, and his hypocrisy makes it so easy for him to be double-minded, that it's really no wonder that he can condone Deadbeat Douchebag Donald "FAT UNATTRACTIVE LOSER" Trump's vile behavior groping and possibly raping women.
Curt Schilling, another "defender" of the great white grope, who's hit on pre-teen girls. Creepy AF!!! You'll need a shower after watching this video. Ewww. Lock away your daughters, friends, if Donald Trump ever gets near your town...or the White House. Srsly, how do people like Curt Schilling, RUDEy Giuliani, Ben Carson, Kellyanne Conway, or the rest of the Drumpf surrogates sleep at night--how do they face themselves in the mirror when they're making their livings by condoning lechery and defending the indefensible?!??
Speaking of human slime, here's Disgusting Debauched Donald Junior--another unattractive loser. That slime don't fall far from the bucket...
Here's another piece of news that Trump supporters will ignore: their idol and god incarnate, Donald J. Trump, literally screwed hundreds if not thousands of them out of work by buying the steel and aluminum for his buildings from China instead of buying American. Remember what he said in Pennsylvania--you know, where Pittsburgh is, as in the STEELers--about bringing all those lovely steel jobs back here to the U.S.? Yep--just another big fat lie from the big fat lying UNNATRACTIVE LOSER that is Donald John Trump.
More on Drumpf's meltdown--this time from Keith Olbermann
Moar Keef...this time on Donald Trump's
Horrific--PERVERTED LECH Donald "I'm a puffy fat weak UNATTRACTIVE girly-man LOSER" Trump sat down next to a woman in a bar, reached up her skirt, and groped her private parts through her underwear! He didn't even introduce himself. I wonder if he said thank-you afterward. Or at least shook hands.
Here's a story I hadn't gotten a chance to explore yet: Ken Bone, who became America's darling--an overnight sensation--with his every-man face, his perky red sweater, and his question about green energy at the second "debate." Personally, I thought he was creepy looking. Although some in the TYT crew call Mr. Bone a "mixed bag," they ultimately had kinder words for him than I do. Based on what they say, Ken Bone sounds like an imperfect but fairly decent human being. That alone makes him an infinitely better presidential candidate than Donald "piece of human filth" Trump.
And now what you've all been waiting for: a breakdown of the DSM V for narcissistic personality disorder along with evidence whether Donald John Trump satisfies the diagnostic criteria or not. Friends, this video ain't the only source saying that Donald Trump meets the criteria for NPD in spades. ...Like I said, my Tea Party Christian friend meets most of the criteria, too. Boy, that sure explains a lot!
But don't believe YouTuber "Concerned US Citizen"--see what actual professionals in the field have to say! (I have to laugh: the subtitle of the video is "Lawrence O’Donnell inside Donald Trump's mind"--they're assuming that Drumpf has a mind!)
TYT brings out more on Herr Drumpf's sick, sad, weak little personality: he fired a woman solely based on looks because he think's that's the most important thing in business, and he goes after "wounded birds" so he can take advantage of their vulnerability because he's too insecure to have a relationship with a strong, healthy-minded, independently-thinking woman. I know someone just like this who is slavishly devoted to Donald Trump
There are worse tapes from "The Apprentice"...worse, really? Is that even possible?! Al Sharpton really needs to STFU and let his guests speak. He cut both of his guests off right in the middle of very interesting sentences. Because Al Sharpton is usually yelling, Mr. Calm calls him "News for the Hearing Impaired."
TYT: Twitterbot Argutron 4000 Trolls The Trump Trolls For Days...
...Funny AF!! Trump supporter tears--so yummy!! Ahhh, I wish this video were twice as long with loads moar examples!! Lol!!
Liberty "University" students denounce their president, Jerry Falwell, Jr., for endorsing Donald Trump. Apparently, despite attending post-high school Christian indoctrination, they've retained enough of their critical thinking skillz to recognize that Donald Trump actually stands for the exact opposite of what they as Christians should be standing for. They didn't get the memo that JEEzus didn't really mean all that bullshit about helping the poor and living simply, without excessive wealth or ostentation...they didn't realize that the very last verse of the Bible is "JK, LOL!!!!!1one!!!" Or mebbe it-snot gawd who's joking about all the JEEZus stuff but, as TYT sez, it's the Republicans and their politicians. Too bad the kids didn't talk to my Tea Party Christian friend--he did get the memo and is as avid a Drumpf supporter as Jerry "I couldn't earn an honest living if I had to" Falwell, Jr. It amazes me that so-called Christians can somehow force their brains to accept and apparently reconcile two such contradictory things as their religion and Donald Trump both at the same time. Cognitive dissonance much?
People like my Tea Party Christian friend will support Donald Trump no matter what he says or does...no matter what evidence of his disqualification is presented to them...I'm not even sure my rabidly evangelical friend would disown Drumpf if he cheated on Melania with another man. You can practically hear the "baa...baaa...baaaa...!" But here's an interesting "Holy wow" moment: Donald Trump has his adoring, unthinking Tea Party followers hating on Paul "I practically invented the Tea Party" Ryan. Drumpf has got some 'baggers thinking that Ryan, of all people, is part of the Hillary Clinton "conspiracy" that leaked the Billy Bush tape. Drumpf mentioned Paul "Eddie Munster wannabe" Ryan at a rally in Ryan's own back yard, eliciting boos from the entire crowd. If the Republicans lose the House come November
Yusef Salaam of the Central Park Five speaks
Ok, so I thought Snopes had dismissed the child rape case as not being serious. But, according to the David Pakman show, Donald "pussygrabber and possible child rapist" Trump goes on trial for rape in mid-December. He could be president-elect by then. Yikes!

Deadbeat Douchebag Donald Trump
lurved all the free media attention
he got during the primary.
Now that the media is
taking his candidacy seriously
and finally starting to do their jobs,
Donsie Wonsie can't handle it!
Donald John Trump is not only
a pussygrabber--
he's also a PUSSY.
