is classically personality disordered by narcissism, sociopathic...perhaps even psychopathic delusion, the essence of a matured "dark triad" that cannot now be cured and such a clear and present danger to democracy and global humanity's security, without a single decent virtue by which to commend being included in humanity's midst...operating in the Helter/Skelter manner of Jim Jones, David Koresh, Ted Kaczinsky, and Charles Manson. Decades later, we remember their names and deeds because of MSM news and entertainment media's attention to them, their deeds, and the tragic, deplorable, end of their believing cultists.

Then, ahhh...back to the gender respect wars, Biblical misogyny (duped by Eve) versus event-driven misantry (caused IMO by injustice and recognized crimes against women) of just plain uncontrolled/able lust for instant gratification of wealth via fascist corporate "personhood" and pseudo- Christian fundamentalists' political and judicial power that maintains an inordinate heritable wealth gap ensuring that either grifters or the continuously "best mousetrap" folks of ancestors past, without the integrity to be ever be satisfied, plot schemes to have the lobbying ear of Legislatures with boosts to their owned Executives...so, who to analyze, discuss, and advise becomes problematic, then there's that problem of life-long Supreme judges without scruples emerging...It's problematic and often quite messy separating out human bias. I favor term limits, a coded process of removal without abstract parsing of the definitions of "high crimes," the end of immunity plea deals: Either they recognize "the devil made them do it or not," but the crime is still accountable, and possibly even structured re-testing where Americans take vows of commitment to certain actions and/or a professional license (law/medicine) but willfully concede that they were criminally guilty and "blinded by the (Right?/Light?)" but now they see." Citizens need to show up for subpoenas; a response of the Fifth, doesn't necessarily mean they are complicit in who or what is stated as being investigated; it means that person needs to be investigated for separate crimes with who may be involved in questions of conspiracy (often yet unknown). Physical possession is NOT 9/10 of the law of ownership where legit titles/rules/processes state otherwise! Criminals are, indeed, wretched. When the stakes are high, those individuals should be detained DURING the investigation - flight risk and whether or not a breach of national security has yet been perpetrated! How else to prevent or ascertain that it happened best? Yeah, because the leaders, the lawyers, the doctors, and the members of the military are at the heart of the safety and preventive mental/physical health and at the heart of a country's Constituted democratic ideals of manner of life in that country!
