A “Morning Joe” panel examined President Donald Trump’s lie-filled rally in Iowa, where his supporters cheered each falsehood and jeered when he attacked the media.
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jon Meacham compared the display to former President Richard Nixon’s lies during the Watergate scandal, but he said Trump’s rally was even more like something seen in a totalitarian regime like Nazi Germany or fascist Italy.
“Even now, in regimes like North Korea, where the dear leader speaks and we’re all supposed to salute, that what the dear leader says has to be followed, whether it’s associated with reality or not, whether it’s grounded in reality or not,” Meacham said.
The segment opened with a video montage of Trump’s falsehoods, which the panel fact-checked against previous reporting, and Meacham said the president’s lies undermined some of America’s founding principles.
I really don't watch Morning Joe anymore so I missed this when it was first broadcast.
However after I watched the video I was shocked, and knew I had to share it here.
I mean we all know that Trump lies like some people take a breath, but this is amazing even by those standards.
It is like he is allergic to the truth and his followers seem to think the only truth tumble from his tangerine tinted maw.
Every day I wake up saying I will not be shocked by what Donald Trump does, and every day I am wrong.
Can't watch the morning shows. Found it put a damper on my mood for the rest of the day. Positive thoughts, positive life. I'm trying to be positive in my Trump resistance. It's hard.
ReplyDeleteLittle late for remorse.
Delete11:48am, what are you talking about? Do you think anyone on this site voted for Trump?
DeleteYea. A lot of people have drunk some much of the Trump koolaid that they have lost all perspective on reality.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard 451 to maintain a positive attitude in these historical times. What keeps me going is the knowledge I am not alone in resisting lies and hate.
ReplyDeleteGhandi said truth and love will win over hate. I have to believe he knew what he was talking about.
Sending an encouraging thought your way - biofeedback style. Hope it helps :)
Thanks! Back at you

answers the question quite nicely, if not thoroughly."
"extremely skilled at faking emotion. Depending on the party and attendees, he manipulates by expressing a range of human emotion: " A sociopath is incapable of feelings such as Empathy, Regret, and Remorse"
" (EEG) tests show that the sociopathic brain doesn't register emotional words and pictures the way a "normal" brain does.
The brain of a sociopath is unable to grasp abstract concepts such as love.
All words and concepts like emotions are merely words. This makes thinking concrete. A word is nothing but a word whether that word is "dog" or "grief."
Sociopaths aren't stupid, and high-functioning sociopaths are highly intelligent. They know the meaning of the words for feelings like love, glee, anxiety, etc. However, they know these abstract concepts only on a concrete level, and this makes it impossible to fully experience them."Beyond primitive emotions like anger and rage, sociopaths don't have feelings. Remarkably, their social skills are so honed, so highly developed, that no one can tell. Everyone else at a sociopath's party feels emotion"

Words for them are merely tools and weapons to get what they want. Then they project their cold blooded defects onto other.

Oh, and by the way, DJT doesn't poop and even if he did it doesn't stink and even if it did stink it would stink in a way that we would find okay and even if it wasn't okay we would have to say it was and if we didn't say it was then we can experience the wonderful gulags...
ReplyDeleteYeah, dear leader is EXACTLY what he wants to be.
