The description of this "meeting" at the WH is certainly startling - Gotta wish Nixon's taping system was still operating, I'd love to have heard a recording of this, with all the craziness and yelling.

(19,204 posts)Of course I'd need sugar-free Mr. Pibb and my chances of finding that anywhere are probably slim, and none.
Thanks for the reply.

(9,186 posts)Thats based on a novel of the same name written by a woman named Nancy Price. I took Historians and the Philosophy of History from her ex-husband, upon whom the antagonist in the book was based. It was the last required class for my history major, and he was the only one who taught it.
Frankly, he was an asshole. There was a guy in the class who was an odd duck, who asked me what I thought of the class. I told him I was only there because I had to be. Well, he said, you have to admit hes a genius!
I do? I replied.
Yes. He has a PhD!
And?
From Harvard!
So? Hes not the first idiot to go to Harvard.
He wasnt the last either.
Always remember that half of the lawyers finished in the lower half of their class.

With some people, you can point to what sent them down the rabbit hole, not so much with Powell.
I'd love to be able to scruff her and drag her in for a thorough psych evaluation. I really think there is something else going on there besides populist personality cult support.
That gal just aint right.

(14,174 posts)Something no one wants to talk about. He has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It fits him perfectly:
Narcissistic personality disorder one of several types of personality disorders is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism
I know why Republicans do not talk about it, but Democrats perhaps don't want to A. avoid the backlash on RW media, and B. Don't want to give Trump any excuses for his behaviour.
But its clearer to me now than ever, that McConnell, Graham, and others in leadership KNOW Trump is mentally ill and psychopathic. But that means they have a stooge they can hide behind, or in his shadow. And he can be the front man who doesn't mind being called a serial liar, racist, sexist, etc...because he doesn't have any sense of morality or empathy. And deep down, they know they may not have the strength to swallow that much of what is left of their personal morals to be that person themselves. So they use someone mentally deranged to do what they can only dare to dream about.

And if you are not ready to bring a child into this world and face SC abortion laws, keep a video of her when you get an urge to have sex. Seeing and hearing her is more painful than a vasectomy, without pain meds.

(36,095 posts)On January 8, 2021, Dominion sued Powell for defamation and asked for over $1.3 billion in damages.
A Michigan federal judge ordered her and 7 others of team batshit to pay Michigan and Detroit for their expenses in defending against their lawsuit to overturn the election. The court also referred Powell and the other lawyers to state disciplinary authorities for possible disbarment for ethics violations.
The State Bar of Texas seeks sanctions against her including possible disbarment.

(35,688 posts)She wears them almost all the time, and sometimes she even wears combination "leopard" skin prints.
A fashion analysis of who wears this kind of stuff observes that there's an upper end and a lower end.
snip
But leopard print is also a signal of poor taste and of trashiness, which really means that it represents the sexually available lower-class woman. Picture Peg Bundy in leopard-print spandex on Married... with Children, or Fran Drescher in a tiny leopard-print mini skirt on The Nanny, or Lil Kim squatting with her legs spread in that infamous 1996 promotional photo, her crotch barely covered by a leopard-print thong. Peg Bundy is a low-class sybarite, but Fran Drescher and Lil Kim are cut from a different (sorry) cloth. They are not content to stay in Queens and Brooklyn, respectively. They are women on the move, using their wits and sexuality to slink into lives of luxury.
While talking about leopard print, I would be remiss to ignore the patterns true progenitors: actual leopards.
If youre being a nerd, leopards dont really have spots, Craig Saffoe, the curator of Great Cats at the National Zoo in Washington says. They have what we call a rosette. Leopards have a rosette, cheetahs have spots all over, and jaguars have a rosette with a spot inside.
