Ego, ignorance, greed, and miscalculation caused Dick Cheney to predict that the U.S. would be greeted as liberators in Iraq.

There has never been a more dangerous combination of pathological ego, ignorance, greed, and miscalculation in an American leader than Trump.

Yes, as long as the "resource class" benefits from Narcissists/Sociopaths, they (society's social/legal systems) will refuse to rein them in. This has been on display with Trump (Thread):

It's one thing when a pathologically dishonest, inept, and unfit president takes actions that have global consequences, but does so, at least in part, based on demonstrably false expectations/predictions....1/
...but it's another thing entirely when "adults" like Nikki Haley not only lie about knowable facts that contradict Trump's miscalculation, but also make political statements that dishonestly paint the Democrats' position in "absolute" terms..2/
This is the essence of "Trickle Down Pathology": 3/

When George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld et al are at The Hague facing war crimes for what they did in #Iraq, we can seriously ask “How do we stop Trump and this senseless war.”
Instead: W has been anointed a cuddly grandpa who paints and one of his speechwriters during the illegal war on Iraq has fashioned himself into anti-Trump “resistance.”
Amnesia is not a bug of US political consciousness. It’s a feature.

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

"Dick Cheney and Leon Panetta on Leadership, Bipartisanship and Public Service"

...And how to start a war to fund Halliburton

c-span.org/video/?453956-…
"Sen. John Kerry has suggested, though never explicitly stated, that the Bush administration has an improper relationship with Halliburton, the company where Dick Cheney was chief executive from 1995 until he left in 2000 to run for V.P.
nyti.ms/2KJsprc
Remember when:
"In March 2003, Kellogg Brown & Root, Halliburton's subsidiary, got a Pentagon sole-source contract, meaning it was awarded w/out bidding, to restore/operate Iraqi oil wells. The contract, classified & awarded just before the Iraq invasion, could be worth as $7B."
