McCain is dead. Flake is gone, Willard is slowly hanging himself.
It’s a start! :)
Most psychos in the GOP turn out to be Liberals in disguise
“There are tests for psychopathy and they should be used as gating tests for employment in government and corporations.”
If the corporations run by psychopaths compete more successfully in the marketplace, then why would they want to exclude them?
I prefer the word sociopath for the socially skilled evil person.
They tend to rise to the top of all organizations, whether government, corporate, non profit (church), even homeowner associations.
The reason is they enjoy ruling over others, and they are skilled at backstabbing and butt-kissing.
Normal people just want to live their own lives in peace—they have no desire to rule over others.

Truth
They are supposed to be watchdogs and keep everyone honest. NOT
Also-MSM corruption couldn't exist at a worse time. Now-everyone has 24/7 access to all the 'news', but thanks to our equally corrupt NEA, NOT everyone has the discretion and common sense to discern what's fake and what's NOT
There are several problems with having these folks at the top of the corporate food chain:
—They will steal from the corporation, focusing on their own perks at the expense of shareholders.
—They treat their employees like dirt, which tends to lower morale and increase turnover—this leads to a loss in productivity. In addition these employees will seek revenge, stealing corporate secrets, sabotaging corporate operations, etc.
—They are more likely to force the corporation to violate the law in a variety of ways, which may lead to better profits long term but big-time legal problems long term.
There's the problem with normal people. You have to pay to play.
“Snakes In Suits: Are Psychopaths Running The World?”
the short answer is “yes” ... the long answer is that they always have ... (though i prefer the newer term “sociopath” to the obsolete term “psychopath”, though they mean the same thing)
LOL!
Normal people pay alright...that’s who originally supplied most of Hunter Biden’s haul.
Hence the term, RINO.
Every democrat in the senate is a psychopath berift of empathy. They would not want some political operative to come out of the woodwork to accuse them of something unprovable that happened 20 years ago, yet that’s what they knowingly did to Brett Cavanaugh. These people have sold their souls a long time ago.
Thank you!

Amazing reading.
I disagree psychopaths don’t run the world. Sociopaths do.
This sounds like a rehash of the book The Psychopath Test. It’s an interesting book that says that many people at the top of organizations are psychopaths and those traits helped them get there. There’s a lot of valid criticism of the book, but it was mainly successful because it gave those of us who aren’t Number One a reason to believe that these leaders are somehow less human than us and not to be trusted. It’s a form of social jealousy and hate of success that fits in particularly well with Dim politics although it seems a lot of Dim pols fit the bill themselves.
I think it’s highly probable that concentrations of socio-economic power would be very attractive to high-functioning sociopaths. All the other states should thank Virginia and Maryland for absorbing a much higher % of the sociopathic detritus of America that was drawn to the Fed state and support structure over the decades.

Sociopaths, actually, not psychopaths.
Not going to disagree entirely, but for those of us who disagree with the "get ahead at any cost" mentality, we are accused of being jealous because we refuse to accept and approve of sociopathic behavior.
I am also amazed at those who worship at the feet of the most corrupt demoKKKrat politicians in America, but are threatened by those of us who value our freedoms, faith, the Constitution and the rule of law. You know, us bitter clingers who want to hang on to our guns and religion.
I doubt it. The range of normal behavior is pretty wide. You don’t have to be sick to be a dick. Successful leaders are usually different from most people, without being diagnosable as disturbed.

Add DC to your Virginia and Maryland observation and then the West Coast liberal cities, from Seattle, Portland, SF/Berkley/Oakland/Sillycon Valley and LA/Hollywood.
NY City and Chicago are another liberal centers teeming with sociopathic detritus.
