2. This is one: proritizing the approval of a global menace (#Theocrat Barrett) over urgent action against a lethal social-economic catastrophe.

3. We talk too much about trump's evident psychopathic symptoms and not enough about McConnell and others. Yes, these are times where the DSM-V categories are being questioned but unleashing genocide in a so-called traditional democracy qualifies as psychopathic.
