“What is the clinical definition of ‘delusional’? How does such a state of mind present itself?

“It's a distortion of reality. It is also what is termed as a ‘false belief’ that is based on an internal fantasy life. ...”

salon.com/2019/12/23/how…
“For example, the simplest delusion that we see in this letter, and that we've seen with Trump in the last few weeks, with the Ukraine scandal, is his saying over and over again, ‘It was a perfect phone call.’”

salon.com/2019/12/23/how…
“There's no such thing as perfection, first of all. Trump’s repeated insistence that he had a ‘perfect phone call’ is a false belief. To keep saying that is both psychotic and sincere because the person who is deluded does not know they are delusional.”

salon.com/2019/12/23/how…
“When a person is full-blown deluded, they are possessed by their feelings, and their feelings are a fact to them.”

salon.com/2019/12/23/how…
“Donald Trump is a con artist. .. [C]on artists seduce people into believing them. Trump fears Nancy Pelosi because he can't seduce her .... Pelosi reminds Trump of his father, someone he cannot trick, seduce or bully, a person who is not afraid of him.”

salon.com/2019/12/23/how…
“The other aspect of Trump's behavior is that with him we are dealing with a person who is mentally decompensating. Trump has a decompensating character structure right now, and it is public and right in front of the world.”

salon.com/2019/12/23/how…
“But the delusional part of what is happening with Donald Trump ... is that when a person is cornered and very regressed emotionally and mentally they go from projection ... to an unconscious process that includes what we call “delusional projection.”

salon.com/2019/12/23/how…
“Delusional projection is something you see in very disturbed people. I only see this behavior in hospitalized patients. Their projections are so out of touch with reality that everybody can see that they are delusional.”

Literally you have the keys to your own prison. Trump gave them to you. Just twenty of you could set all of you free with a vote of “guilty,” which is what you’d vote if it weren’t for misguided party loyalty. Vote for your country, and vote for yourselves.
shouldn’t have said “literally” since it’s a metaphor but you all know what I mean and there’s no edit function
don’t know why stuff like that bothers me

“The typical [Christianity Today] approach is to stay above the fray and allow Christians with different political convictions to make their arguments in the public square .... We want CT to be a place that welcomes Christians from across the political spectrum ....”
“That said, we do feel it necessary from time to time to make our own opinions on political matters clear—always, as Graham encouraged us, doing so with both conviction and love.”

“We love and pray for our president, as we love and pray for leaders (as well as ordinary citizens) on both sides of the political aisle.”

“[T]he fact that senators swear an oath to ‘bear true faith’ to the Constitution, and the fact that the Constitution requires the Senate to ‘try all Impeachments,’ should require them to hold a real trial with live witnesses.”

“But if that isn’t enough to persuade them, Republican senators should consider at least two significant practicalities.”
wapo.st/2tzXJ7d
“The first is that the Ukraine investigation is only three months old. ... A remarkably strong case was assembled in an unusually short time, even in the face of extraordinary obstructionism from the administration ....”

State Government Debt Risk - a history that repeats too often!

As the work on building Amravati, the new capital city AP, comes to a grinding halt, concerns emerge about Amravati (APCRDA) bonds held by Franklin MF (~Rs. 1000 Cr) and Birla MF (Rs. ~300 Cr). Thread 1/11
During the Chandrababu Govt, Amravati received political as well as financial patronage. Now, with Jagan Reddy being incharge of the state, the project is in shambles. World Bank & ADB pulled out of the project and the Government is looking for reasons to scrap it. 2/n
The bonds issued to support the financing needs of the project were subscribed by Franklin MF and Birla MF. The bonds are guaranteed by the AP Govt but it's not sure if the Govt would keep servicing the bonds. The risk of lending to a state govt has again come to the fore. 3/11

Swami Visuddhananda was a genuine Sannyasi who was living under a tree in some forest beyond Kasi. Come winter or rains he used to stay and sleep at night under the tree. To avoid his body being soaked in the rainy water he used to put a few bricks under him and sleep over them.
He lived on whatever a passerby deigned to give him for eating. The then king of a place from Bihar, who used to come to the forest on hunting expeditions was highly impressed by the vairagya, the indifferent demeanour and the stoic and austere life led by the Swamiji.
Every time he came to the forest he used to bring some items of need for the saint and sit with him for hours in silence. During one of his trips, the king requested the Swamiji to accompany him to his palace and spend a few days with him. The Swamiji readily agreed and

George Kennan wrote this in 1986
I'm going to turn this into a Kennan thread, because I'm going to need it.

This is about the Sacco and Vanzetti murder case, back when the nation cared about law and order. Listen closely, and you can hear the echoes of the left regarding the border crisis going on right now!
Kennan, the 26-year-old incel in 1931, lamenting tfw no gf, but also unwilling to avail himself of the degeneracies of his fellow international diplomats.

...but have hope, lads! That very year, Kennan met a 20-year-old Norwegian girl. Their marriage lasted 73 years.

1/25 #THREAD On the #ethics of Jody Wilson-Raybould recording a convo with Michael Wernick RE #SNCLavalin

Read further to debunk the #CDNmedia & partisan spin + public's grasp of #CDNpoli #CDNlaw that's circulating social media

(Ex. of that mythology)
2/25 #SNCLavalin #CDNpoli #CDNlaw #Ethics

It's not possible for pundits & partisan actors to have their cake & eat it too

Due to the barrage of biased misinformation about Jody Wilson-Raybould's role as attorney general vs justice minister, it's necessary to explain the basics
3/25 If Jody Wilson-Raybould assumed the role of solicitor to the govt in this #SNCLavalin matter, it wouldn't be unethical to record her calls w clients & witnesses #CDNpoli

This is standard practice in #CDNlaw, so lawyers don't forget details & properly document billable hours

BELIEF AND BARBARITY

Mike Pompeo is an avowed evangelist while being a neoconservative thug. How can we square these two seemingly opposing characteristics? How can anyone present themselves as a Christian & yet promote political goals which have led to mass death & destruction?
BELIEF AND BARBARITY

We have seen this before of course. It was a major feature during the GW Bush Iraq war. The words “Kill them all. Let God sort them out!” was often seen from those professing to be good Christians. How could this possibly be?
BELIEF AND BARBARITY

Part of the explanation lies in a selective reading of the Bible. Those advocating mass, & quite possibly indiscriminate death for their brown-skinned bretheren were without doubt referencing the Old Testament God of wrath & fury. early ‘Shock & Awe’.
