1. Childish magical thinking

While people fall ill & die!

2. This week I read right here on DU that every 3 days it's like another 9/11

So many times worse than the rest of the world. We weren't prepared and still have no national leadership.

5. All by design, imo

He is stupid, all right, but every action taken is directly an attack on our country.

If it were just narcissism, he might ocasionally screw up & benefit citizens in some way.

This appears to be a meticulously orchestrated plan, imo.

8. Toxic religiosity leads to a kind of permanent adolescence...

People who transfer their childish dependence from their own parents to a magical friend in the sky have no way to actually make rational decisions and constantly search out ideas and concepts that sound good to them or further their own narcissistic tendencies.

9. Yup!

4. She really has been excellent lately with her editorial statements

She just lays it out so clearly.

6. I swear they're going for herd immunity

But not saying it

7. Thinks he's G-d's gift. Satan's, more like.

10. Hey Mike!!!

Yeah there is a "miracle" that will happen. It's called science. Something you don't believe in.
