They'll be back. The crazy ones are still around, but are usually incoherent. I'm referring to Cliffy, OB, CC.

Odd, Alternative isn't here...
Cliffy. What about danbones or angstrom?

Wait..

What happened at Sandy Hook?

Not everyone can make the list. They would have to open an auxiliary forum.

Bury my heart at wounded knee.

I left my heart
In San Franciscoooo.
I left my liver
In Old New Yorrrrk

Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy-free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down South
And kiss my ass goodbye

It is also a form of group think. Sociopaths are extremely manipulative and know which buttons to push to get a following. As many Trump supporters say: He spake to me............ He is able to target a group that is particularly pliable. (and suggest able) His supporters were able to identify with his basic and simplistic language.(lack of sophistication)

He was able to persuade them into believers and devotees . What they failed to see is that they were manipulated by a person who is interested on only one thing......HIMSELF and the gain of Power.Because he is rich...and "successful" the two important elements of US culture ........it made him seems plausible. They never questioned HOW he got rich or what his behavior was like when he was getting richer. Particularly how he treats people around him. He demands devotion but gives none in return. It is evident to most that he is a pathological liar. . and evader of the facts/ truths. He has no real moral standards ,let alone ethical ones. He has a sense of great entitlement.

It doesn't bother him to cheat, lie , bribe etc etc. to get and have what HE wants.

He is incoherent. , has memory gaps, repeats himself and not realistic or sensible when speaking without a prompter He is overly suspicious, demanding, hyper critical, angry, inappropriate ....over reacts, obsesses about hurts perceived insults. revengeful, has a cruel streak. He has a pathological need to intimidate and control others. He provokes when there is NO rational/reasonable reason to do so and creates consequences for himself and others AND DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE.

Not the characteristics of a stable person ...

Sounds like all the characteristics of a politician.

Seriously??

Seriously. He was the president before Trump. He was black. Still is. Married. Two children. You can have him speak at your next Bingo night or Bund rally.

Barack and Michele are speaking publicly about stuff. And other things, like stuff, only different than regular stuff. Important things. Things more important than just stuff.

What do you mean by "a matter of degree"? I wonder if you even know.

You're the person that goes to a function and nos in agreement with everything that is said. You don't understand most of what's being said, and nod like a Bobble Head dog. :lol:

But you don't talk down to people or put them down. Hypocrite. I see why you like the Donald, you are just like him.

Bowing down in service of a demagogue who whips you up into a frenzy of hatred and aims you at imagined enemies has happens frequently in human history. They're itching to eliminate undesirables.
Is that what is happening in the U.S. at this time ?

Not the entire US. applies to Trump sputters who have a bit of idol worship about Trump. and seem to be blinded to his character flaws.(that make him unfit for the job)
