    Trump needs a kick to the balls, that’s what he needs. And then another one, until everyone on earth had the opportunity.

    He should take a one way ride up in a Starliner. Plenty of space for him in there.

    Here I am, regularly feeling guilty about whether maybe I accidentally insulted someone with my autism, while people like these lie openly, constantly and with impunity. A conscience really is a goddamn hindrance in this world rather than a net positive.

      I’d say the lack of a conscience is the real hindrance. If more people cared about the consequences of their actions, we’d be in a better place. It’s just a shame so many psychopaths are able to flourish.

      Sort of. People without a conscience and without the power, privilege and/or social tools to abuse that often also end up pretty badly. Like how narcissism can lead both to (unwanted) social isolation, or even prison time, and then also sometimes to a successful business/political career or creating your own adoring cult, depending on other factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic to the person.

    The more he runs away from this the more likely that nobody will believe whatever explanation he lands on to dismiss it. Even if there really isn’t a list, and he really isn’t on it, and they present some evidence that proves it conclusively, there’s zero shot anyone will believe it.

    The conspiracy vibes are so strong that even reality couldn’t kill them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
