O.K., Let's Be Honest Here...

I Mean Really; Let's Be Honest Here...

YOU

WERE

EMASCULATED, DONNIE-BOY!!!

[ i.e., Rubio jokes that Trump may have wet his pants during the last debate ].

You can deny it all you want...

Rubio Suggests Trump Wet His Pants On Debate Stage:

"The Florida senator, clearly buoyed by knocking

Trump off balance, repeatedly called the billionaire

businessman a “con artist” on Friday: first on the

morning shows and then at a Dallas rally, where he

had the crowd chuckling over his latest barbs".

Piss-pants Trump is not presidential material... no way in hell!! He's an embarrassment to himself [and to his family, too, but the kids want to stay in his will, so they keep their traps shut!!!]
************************

If you're not turned off yet, please read this frightening piece I came across:

Mentored In The Evil Art Of Manipulation, Donald Trump Learned From The Ultimate Master : Roy Cohn

Sen. Joseph McCarthy was such an effective tormentor of the innocent that his name became synonymous with character assassination. In today’s parlance, however, Roy Cohn might say that McCarthy suffered simply because he refused to be politically correct.

Disgraced alongside his boss, Cohn departed Washington for his hometown of New York City where he became the ultimate political fixer and a terror in his own right. If you needed a favor, or wanted to hurt an enemy, Cohn could do the job. He talked like a make-believe mobster and counted real ones among his clients.

Having spent years under the shadow of ethics complaints, Roy Cohn lost his license to practice law in 1986, just before he died of HIV/AIDS, a diagnosis he vehemently denied. A gay Jewish man who spewed anti-Semitic, homophobic and racist remarks, he was actually quite charming in his own way and cultivated many friends. Among them were gossip columnists (like McCarthy, Cohn sought them out) and two men he mentored in the art of manipulation: Roger Stone and Donald Trump.

When Trump was still in his 20s, he hired Cohn and began to move in the very same social circles. Both were members of Le Club, a private hot spot where the rich and famous [and social climbers alike] could meet without suffering the presence of ordinary people. Later, when Studio 54 served the glitter and cocaine crowd, Cohn and Trump were there too. Cohn nurtured a style for Trump that was one part friendly gossip and one part menace. Cohn looked and sounded like someone who could hurt you if you crossed him. Trump purposely kept a photo of the glowering Cohn so he could show it to those who might be chilled by the idea that this man was his personal lawyer.

It was Cohn who introduced Trump to a young political operator named Roger Stone in 1979. Stone had cut his teeth in the Nixon campaign of 1972 where he posed as a student socialist who donated to an opponent and then made the contribution public. The fake scandal helped scuttle antiwar congressman Rep. Pete McCloskey’s presidential bid and ensured that Nixon was around to give America three more years of a disastrous war and Watergate.

Brilliant and perpetually aggressive—“attack, attack, attack” is his motto—Stone teamed up with Trump to create an ersatz presidential bid in 1987, and the two have been political partners ever since. Like Cohn, Stone is a risk-taker. He and Trump got caught breaking campaign rules as they fought the development of Indian casinos; state officials levied a hefty fine. Stone counsels clients to constantly “Admit nothing, deny everything, launch a counterattack.” He once told a reporter that it was his practice to always, “Get even.” “When somebody screws you,” he added, “screw ‘em back—but a lot harder.”

Trump’s version of the Stone credo, as he told me, is to “hit back 10 times harder” whenever he feels attacked. Like McCarthy and Cohn and Stone, Trump loves to gossip and trade in information. He. too, cultivates an air of menace to keep his opponents off-guard and he hates to ever apologize, or back down. And, just like Cohn, he insists that the kind of talk his critics consider offensive is really just the truth expressed without the social amenities. This is an ingenious tactic for someone who wants to be free to say almost anything, even if it’s insulting, and get away with it !

Much of what Trump says and does comes straight out of the Cohn/Stone playbook, including his eagerness to make people both uncomfortable and confused. As a campaign consultant, Stone advises candidates to open multiple battlefronts, and as a source for reporters, he often mystifies anyone who seeks to understand what he’s up to. For his part, Trump is a man prone to outrageous statements that defy fact-checking; our fascination with him surely stems, at least in part, from the delightful challenge of trying to figure out when he’s serious and when he’s putting us on.

The current state of the Stone-Trump relationship is puzzling indeed. Stone has earned substantial sums for Trump and has always seemed to lurk behind the scenes in his political life. However, his outrageousness can seem like a liability and in 2008 Trump told Jeffrey Toobin of the New Yorker, “Roger is a stone-cold loser.” He also complained that Stone “always tries taking credit for things he never did.”

MY NOTE: Is this not the pot calling the kettle black ?!?

Trump additionally told me that he finds it easy to cut off those who displease him and that none of those who are banished ever return. Given this stand, it may seem strange that Trump welcomed Stone back into his political circle prior to announcing his candidacy for the GOP nomination. The reunion was short-lived, however, as the Trump campaign fired Stone in August with an announcement that said he was promoting himself too much. However, Stone insists he resigned before he was fired and he has continued to stump for Trump in the media. He is, much like The Donald, a true descendant of the McCarthy/Cohn line and perhaps as impossible to fully disown as a member of the family.

The 'take away' here is that Trump will con you and con you and then

con you some more...DON'T BE CONNED !

[I HOPE YOU'RE NOT THAT STUPID!!!]

Are you?

Still not convinced...read on

SO... IS OMAROSA A SOCIOPATH TOO?

She heartily supports Trump and you know what they say about "birds of a feather" !!

READ THIS: Michael Clarke Duncan [MCD] and his family have questions about Omarosa Manigault ... specifically, whether the late actor's fiancée unduly influenced him into re-writing his will months before he died and leaving almost everything to her. Judy Duncan, Michael's sister, said that she's hired a lawyer to investigate the circumstances surrounding the change to the actor's will in April 2012, making Omarosa the main beneficiary.

Judy believes MCD was not of sound mind when he made the changes ... because as early as December 2011, the actor was not himself, slurring words and stumbling around. Judy says her suspicions about Omarosa intensified when MCD was hospitalized following his heart attack ... telling us Omarosa was fixated on MCD's money when he was on life support. Another thorn in Judy's side ... Omarosa has already sold a bunch of MCD's personal effects (watches, cars, his "Green Mile" director's chair, awards, etc.). Judy says Omarosa sold her late brother's personal stuff without the family's knowledge ... and she's p****d.

I believe she's very adept at playing the American people for suckers, as well. There's obviously something in it for her!!

Now, will everyone please just

STOP

listening to dishonest people!!!!

Honestly, the difference in brain-power and speaking talents between Trump and Romney is gargantuan. I have to admit that Romney has now earned his bone fides and truly appears 'presidential';* Trump lacks the requisite strength of character to be president. PERIOD!!! I am also convinced he's bipolar the way he rambles on in such a manic, disjointed, and discombobulated manner.

MY RX: Verbal dysentery; BiPD. Yikes!!!!

* P.S. Yes, I would vote for him despite the fact that I tend to vote Democratic and voted twice for Obama.

..."For all the talk of 'populism', one of the reasons that Trump’s campaign is such a hit with rage-fueled, resentful and not (just a little) racist white people, is that his nearly-iconic, wealthy, white privilege is actually 'aspirational' to huge swaths of Americans".

"Trump’s sons are such pitch-perfect preening preps that they read as unsubtle satire rather than real people. Both of them are dead ringers for Christian Bale’s serial killer character in 'American Psycho'. And while The Donald has a certain comic timing that makes his prep school bully routine rather funny, both of his sons are not so blessed, laying bare the grotesque soul-rot that happens when mediocre white men have enough wealth and privilege that they’re fooled into thinking they are actually something special".

IT MAY BE COLD, BUT YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ALWAYS SUNNY!!

STAY HEALTHY, AS WELL !!

Birthday!!! ....... Yum!

Donald Trump "a good Christian"?

Oh Pleeeeeeze!!

Those morons who continue to state this flagrant falsehood are displaying their evident ignorance; frankly, I'm embarrassed "for them"! This is a classic example of cognitive dissonance [in spades!!]. Or, it could be that there's just no accounting for taste...

Trump is an immoral opportunist who laughs all the way to the bank. Behind their back, he laughs at the poor chumps who support him, as well:

DUMP TRUMP!!!!!!

There are far better candidates for the Republican nominee.

A "moral person" doesn't spread hate and try to divide people !!

Traits of Malignant Narcissism...Bordering on Frank Sociopathy

WATCH OUT FOR #15, in particular,

WHEN VOTING IN ANY

OF THE 2016 POLITICAL PRIMARIES!!!!!

1. THE PATHOLOGICAL LIAR is skillfully deceptive and exceedingly convincing. Avoids accountability by diverting topics, dodging questions, and bluffing. His memory is self serving as he denies past statements. Constant chaos and 'a rerouting of reality' is their preferred environment.

Defense Strategy: Verify his words. Head for the door when things don't add up. Don't ask him direct questions - you'll only be inviting more lies from this artful dodger.

2. THE CONTRACT BREAKER agrees to anything but then turns around and does the opposite. Marriage, Legal, Custody agreements, normal social/personal protocol are meaningless. This con artist will accuse you of being the contract breaker, which is simply outrageous. Enjoys orchestrating legal action and playing the role of the 'poor me' victim.

Defense Strategy: Expect him to disregard any agreement. Have Plan B in place. Protect yourself both financially and emotionally.

3. THE HIGH ROLLER: Successfully plows and backstabs his way to the top. His family, a disposable prop in his success facade. Is very charismatic, eloquent and intelligent in his field, but often fakes abilities and credentials. Needs to have iron-fisted control, relying on his manipulation skills. Will ruthlessly support, exploit or target others in pursuit of his ever-changing agenda. Mercilessly abuses the power of his position. Uses treachery or terrorism to rule or govern. Potential problem or failure situations are delegated to others. A vindictive bully in the office setting; has no social or personal conscience. Disappears quickly when consequences loom.

Defense Strategy: Keep your references and resume up to date. Don't get involved in anything illegal. Document thoroughly to protect yourself. Thwarting them may result in backlash with a cascade of retaliation.

4. THE SEXUAL NARCISSIST is often hypersexual (male or female). Pornography, date-rape, and incest are reported by his targets. Anything, anyone, young, old, male/female, are there for his gratification. This predator takes what is available. Can have a preference for 'sado-maso' sexuality. Since easily bored, he demands increasingly deviant stimulation.

Defense Strategy: Expect this type to try to degrade you. Ted Bundy behaved in this manner. Get far away from him. Expect him to tell outright lies about your sexuality simply to evade exposure of his own.

5. THE BLAME-GAME NARCISSIST never accepts responsibility. Blames others for his failures and circumstances. A total master at projection.

Defense Strategy: Learn about projection. Don't take the bait when he blames you. He made the mess, now let him clean it up.

6. THE VIOLENT NARCISSIST is a wife-Beater, Murderer, Serial Killer, Stalker, Terrorist. Has a 'chip-on-his-shoulder' attitude. He lashes out and destroys or uses others (particularly women and children) as scapegoats for his aggression or for revenge. He has poor impulse control. Fearless and guiltless, he shows poor judgment. He will try to make you look out of control. Can become unpredictable. Has no remorse or regard for the rights of others.

Defense Strategy: Get away when you can; plan your exit route carefully.

7. THE CONTROLLER/MANIPULATOR pits people against each other. Keeps his allies and targets separated. Is verbally skillful at twisting words and actions. Is charismatic and usually gets his way. Often undermines our support network and discourages us from seeing our family and friends. Money is often his objective. Other people's money is even better. He is ruthless, demanding and cruel.. Appears pitiful, confused and in need of help. We rush in to help him with our finances, assets, talents, etc.
Defense Strategy: Know the 'nature of the beast'. Facing his own failure and consequences will be his best lesson. Be suspicious of his motives, and avoid involvement. Never, never bail him out in any event.

8. THE SUBSTANCE ABUSER Alcohol, drugs, you name it, this N does it. We see his over-indulgence in food, exercise or sex and his persistent need for instant gratification... Will want you to do likewise.

Defense Strategy: Don't sink to his level. Say No very explicitly.

9. OUR "SOUL MATE" is cunning and knows who to select and who to avoid. He will come on strong, sweep us off our feet. He seems to have the same values, interests, goals, philosophies, tastes, habits. He admires our intellect, ambition, honesty and sincerity. He wants to marry us quickly. He fakes integrity, appears helpful, comforting, generous in his 'idealization' of us phase. But it never lasts. Eventually Jekyll turns into Hyde. His discarded victims suffer emotional and/or financial devastation. He is an opportunistic parasite.

Defense Strategy: Seek therapy. Learn about this disorder. Know the red flags of their behavior, and "If he seems too good to be true...he almost certainly is".

10. THE QUIET NARCISSIST is often disorganized, dirty, and unkempt. Odd thinking is observed. Used as a disguise only to 'appear' pitiful to obtain whatever he can.

11. THE SADIST is now the fully-unmasked malignant narcissist/sociopath. His objective is watching us dangle as he inflicts emotional, financial, physical and verbal cruelty. His enjoyment is all too obvious. He'll be back for more. His pleasure is in getting away with taking other people's assets. His target: women, children, the elderly, anyone vulnerable.

Defense Strategy: You must face and accept the Jekyll/Hyde reality. Avoid him altogether. Don't allow thoughts of his past 'good guy' image to lessen the reality of his disorder.

12. THE RAGER flies off the handle for little or no provocation. Has a severely disproportionate overreaction. His rage can be downright frightening. He wants 3 things: control, attention and compliance. In our hurt and confusion we struggle to make things right. Any reaction is his payoff. He seeks both good or bad attention. If he can get attention by cruelty he will do so. That totally works for him.

Defense Strategy: Be fully independent. Don't take the bait of his verbal abuse. Expect emotional hurt. Violence is possible.

13. THE BRAINWASHER is very charismatic. He is able to manipulate others to obtain status, control, compliance, money, attention. Often found in religion and politics. He masterfully targets the naive, vulnerable, uneducated or mentally weak.

Defense Strategy. Learn about brainwashing techniques. Listen to your gut instinct.

14. THE RISK-TAKING, THRILL-SEEKER never learns from his past follies and bad judgment. Poor impulse control is a definite hallmark.

Defense Strategy: Don't get involved with his risky antics... Say No.

15. THE IMAGE MAKER will flaunt his 'toys', his children, his [trophy] wife, his credentials and accomplishments. Admiration, attention, even glances from others, our envy or our fear are his objective. He is never satisfied. Yet, he can quickly alter his mask 'at will' to appear gracious, humble, solicitous, or truly concerned.. Appears as the perfect father, husband, friend - to those outside his home. In truth, he's none of these.

Defense Strategy: Ignore his childlike behaviors and tantrums. Know that his objective is either getting attention or deceiving /abusing others. In an emergency, however, one may need to provide him with 'narcissistic supply' to avert problems.

16. THE EMOTIONAL VACUUM has deceived us by his cunning ability to mimic human emotions when he entirely lacks all empathy. We are left numbed by the realization. It is incomprehensible and painful. Those closest to him become objectified and expendable.

Defense Strategy: Face the reality. These folks can even deceive trained professionals!!

17. THE SAINTLY NARCISSIST proclaims high moral standing. Accuses others of immorality. "Hang 'em high" he says about the murderer he sees on the 6:00 news. This hypocrite lies, cheats, schemes, corrupts, abuses, deceives, controls, manipulates and torments, all the while portraying himself to be of high morals.

Defense Strategy: Learn the red flags of behavior. Be suspicious of people claiming high morals. NOTE: Can probably be spotted at a church near you.

18. THE CALLING-CARD NARCISSIST weirdly forewarns his targets. Early in the relationship he may 'slip up' revealing his nature by saying "You need to protect yourself around me" or "Watch out, you never know what I'm up to." We laugh along with him and misinterpret his words. Years later, coping with the devastation left behind, his victims recall those fateful chilling warnings.

Defense Strategy: Know the red flags and be suspicious of the intentions of others.

19. THE PENITENT NARCISSIST says "I've behaved horribly, I'll change, I love you, I'll go for therapy." Appears to 'come clean' admitting past abuses and asking for your forgiveness. But claims that his behavior is actually 'your fault' and that you need to change too. The sincerity of his words and actions appear totally convincing, though his words are mere 'verbal hooks'. He cunningly knows our vulnerabilities and what will work on us. He dupes us into questioning our judgment about his disorder (i.e., a technique referred to as gas-lighting). We foolishly trust he'll change; we minimize past abuse. His re-targeting attempt is allowed to reign successful if we allow him back into our lives.

Defense Strategy: Expect this. Impose a "No Contact" rule. Focus on the reality of his disorder. Journal all past abusive behavior to remind yourself.

Hence,
