“...a new progressive America where everyone tools around in electric cars,..”

I just read a story about bipartisan legislation on self-driving vehicles coming down the pike, looks like they are actually going to try to integrate this stupidity on the public. I would like to meet the moron who dreamed up anti lock braking. I’ve almost been in accidents several times over this ridiculous technology especially at low speeds in winter conditions. Us old guys learned as young men how to skid a car, lol.

IMO, NEVER use Chrome or Internet explorer. Use Firefox at Mozilla.com. Also, change gaggle search to ixquick.com.

It just fascinates me that the Left had no reservations about diagnosing Trump as a narcissist from the jump. They never bothered to cite which of the nine criteria they were using, of course (criteria from the DSM-5).

Yet they completely missed that diagnosis with Obama, who shows far more NPD traits. There is little doubt in my mind that Obama is personality disordered. The man has zero capacity for empathy. None. That chip is just missing. He’s dangerous.

Trump, otoh, has some narcissistic traits—we all do. Most politicians are more narcissistic than average. Imagine waking up one morning thinking: “Hey, you know what? I really ought to be leader of the Free World!”

The important difference is that President Trump shows a very large capacity for empathy. We’ve seen it erupt spontaneously quite often. And there is his history of doing secret good deeds for strangers.

Just some random thoughts. Narcissism is the reason Obama is acting out so much right now—he desperately needs attention (Narcissistic Supply).

I’m writing a book on narcissism right now, so the topic is very much on my mind.

A man all wrapped up in himself makes for a pretty small package.

I’d warn an author about narcissism to be careful not to get too narcissistic about his or her writings about narcissism.

Sin. It’s tricky.

P.S. not an accusation! It’s a bible warning. When dealing with sin, the devil will often sneak up on you and try to pull you into that sin in some other fashion. Speaking theologically, which I unabashedly do.

"It's Trump for and us zero,"

I think you mean four, chief.

...while the Democratic base is on fire and appalled millennials are racing away from Trump.

If millennials are racing away from Trump, the Democrat party and base would be anything but appalled by it. This opinion piece looks like it was written by a 3rd grader. Your problem is obvious, libs.

The Demonrats aren’t getting much sleep these days, a fact that I find hilarious.

Among liberals, this is considered an honorable thing to do. They thought Bill Clinton boffing the hired help was just Jim-dandy.

And it doesn’t help that the piece is chock full of these little errors. I don’t want to be the grammar-nazi here but this piece looks like it was written by a 3rd grader. It’s Saturday night, the fill-in night/weekend editor must be drunk.

You said it well. Maureen is so blind and devoid of logic. They just cannot accept that the carnal Democrats do not reflect the need of most people just to live, work, love their families and have a little peace from insanity during this short lifetime. It seems to me that everything about the Democratic Party has become perverse and disconnected from reality. Donald Trump, whatever mistakes he has made in his life, is a real deal. He has been in close contact with the common man and woman all his life through his work. He sees their goodness and their plight and he wants them to be free and not enslaved by a government, ours or another outside our borders. Simple as that.

I concur, there are many things wrong with Miss Dowd and her column. However it was properly formatted and spelled at the source. Introducing formatting errors and misspellings does a dis-service to fellow FReepers.

That history was perhaps the most important underreported aspect of Donald Trump during the Presidential campaign.

For Rahm Emanuel, a certified scumbag, to speak of purity and righteousness borders upon being obscene. In a perfect world, he would be imprisoned.
