The sociopathic game the Right plays w/the gun issue:

1. Republicans sell congressional inaction to the gun lobby, and instead offer hollow thoughts/prayers to murder victims' families

2. When sane members of society accurately point out the Right's corrupt cowardice... 2/
3....Cruz & other sociopaths deflect attention from their complicity, by creating a gaslighting characterization of the sane reaction to mass murder/GOP inaction...as being "contempt" for prayers......

4. This triggers the persecution complex of the evangelical base, and.... 3/
.....manipulates the "Right to Life" crowd into essentially defending a "Right to mass murder" position.....especially since the Right has manipulatively defined gun fetishes as being a "god given" Right....as analyzed here: 4/
5. This tactic being used by Cruz is something I've referred to as "manipulation of the interaction timeline". It's a common tactic used by Narcissists/sociopaths to avoid accountability, and embrace victimhood. I analyze it here: 5/

So a murderous psychopathic dictator.....

....who fixes elections (Putin "won" his 2024 election with 88% of the vote) and/or murders political opposition......

.....allegedly accepts NATO-like, Article 5 security protections for Ukraine....

....and promises to pass laws that will prohibit Russia from "violating any European country's sovereignty".....

....in exchange for Ukrainian territory that it acquired by committing war crimes, mass murder, mass rape, mass torture, mass child kidnapping, and attempted genocide?

Remember, Putin invaded Ukraine in violation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum where Ukraine agreed to give up nuclear weapons in exchange for security agreement from US, UK........AND RUSSIA.

1/Image
So.....now the world is expected to believe that:

1. Putin will be satisfied with Trump's appeasement/concession of Ukrainian territory (Reminder: Narcissism/Psychopathy is insatiable)

2. Putin.....a psychopath who has no respect for human life.....let alone the rule of law......will honor any "law" passed by Russia that restrains his insatiable appetite.

3. Putin will honor/respect any international agreement when he already violated the international agreement that promised Ukraine security for giving up nuclear weapons.

4. A U.S.-led security agreement that promises security for Ukraine at the potential expense of U.S. treasure...and maybe blood (boots on the ground).....can be trusted when the leader of the U.S. is a morally bankrupt sociopathic narcissist who lies like he breathes, and is incapable of being trusted to put the interests of others (Ukraine) ahead of his own......even if he "promises" to do so.

2/Image
Remember, Trump generally only cares about the "appearance" of something.....he doesn't care about the actual execution/implementation.

That will likely be the case here, especially if he's already won the Nobel Peace Prize:

Some thoughts on Trump bombing Iran:

1. Yes, it's enraging watching the same people (sheep) who cheered on the Iraq war 20 years ago.......

......morph into "America First", anti-"nation building", anti-"forever war" MAGAs who believed Trump when he said Biden/Kamala/Dems were leading the U.S.(Ukraine) into World War III, or would do so in the future......

.....and then suddenly morph back into NeoCons as they sycophantically cheer on a "War Time President".

Tribalism is the dominant force in America (and, by extension....in the world because it shapes our foreign policy).

x.com/Nick_Carmody/s…

It's not about "WHAT" is done......it's about "WHO" is doing the "what"....that determines whether it's "good".

For far too many people (especially on the Right/MAGA), if "our" guy does it it's genius.....and if their guy goes it, it's catastrophic.

 Trump's narcissism causes him to live in the "eternal, immortal now"....where there is no history/past, and no future consequences.

A shape-shifting sociopath (Vance).......

.....vouches for immutable psychopath (Stephen Miller).

Let’s unpack.....

1/
@terrymoran’s observations about @StephenM are 100% accurate.

Miller substantiates Moran’s observations on a daily basis with his actions....and pathological gaslighting:



(“...because people like CNN want foreign terrorists in the country who kidnap women and children.”)

Here is the actual Supreme Court order, and the quote from the 9-0 opinion.

“The order properly requires the government to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador".

Obligatory qualifier: Celebrating assassination culture is a symptom of a morally bankrupt, pathological society.

But....at best, this video is tone deaf to the primary source of the current pathology.....

And, at worst....it’s a deliberate attempt to gaslight.

Let’s unpack.....

1/
“Assassination culture” is fueled by:

1) The erosion of institutional trust.

...and...

2) Pathological populism.

No one has fed the populist uprising.....eroded more institutional trust.....and is more pathologically disordered...

....than Trump

AT :07 mark of the video in :“The murder of united healthcare CEO exposed a dangerous shift I societal norms”....

...and then asks: “How did this happen?”

@jordanbpeterson: Narcissists/psychopaths are taking over the “fringe” Right.

Apparently Peterson and @joerogan have issues with the “fringe” narcissists/sociopaths who are undermining the sociopathic/narcissist who they support: Trump.

Let’s unpack…

1/
One of things that is so mind-numbing about Peterson is his lack of self, and situational, awareness…..

.....which manifests in his inability to apply his analysis to himself (his projection of his own experiences/feelings onto Trump)….

2/

….as well as Peterson's inability to apply his analysis of Cluster B personality disorders to Trump.

Whether innate (sociopathy/sadism), learned, or performative...

...Noem mimics Stephen Miller's affectation, delivery...and cold, "reckless disregard for others".

Unfortunately, sociopathy is applauded and rewarded under Trump.

Let's review the El Salvador (and Libya) issue...

In March, I analyzed the mass psychology of Trump defying Supreme Court orders:

2/
The thread analyzed the desensitization process that occurs when there is legal/psychological "precedent" of Trump committing an unconstitutional action.
