Condemn him and sue him.

If he calls someone stupid that means they are smart. If.he calls them "do nothing " that means they do a lot.
The more adjectives in front of their names the bigger the threat. The meanest names the more afraid.


It's kind of like pig latin.

Whatever he accuses someone else of, he is guilty of. Whatever insults he throws out at another person, he is describing himself.

project but they are also mean and they know they are saying the meanest thing they can come up with.

Narcissists are not nice people. It doesn't bother them at all to treat people horribly. They get off on it.

My sister has NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder), which is why I know so much about this very harmful disorder. Sadly, because there is no cure, one can only escape becoming their target by completely eliminating them from your life. It's sad, but necessary for one's own sanity.

gentle children to be horrible to. They project everything they hate about themselves onto the scapegoat child and then hate the child.

There is a part of me that aches for Trump's children just because I understand how broken they all are. But at some point you have to take charge of your own life and do what you need to heal yourself. He is such a monster that I can't even imagine what having him as a father must have been like. Those kids are a mess.

I didn't go to my mother's funeral. It was just a relief that she was finally out of my life. And that is an awful thing to have to say.

But something good did come out of it. Now that she is gone and her influence is gone my brother and I and his family have become friends. I didn't think that would ever happen

Nectarine Nero cannot get away with slandering those seeking justice without some sort of condemnation of his actions. He should--and must--be censured for his reckless and cruel attacks on our institutions.

...of a surround screen coming to life in a dark theater with upside-down film footage of a first-person POV rollercoaster ride.

Next thing you know, everyone's vomiting and falling down in the aisles as they all try to bolt for the exits at the same time.

They're screaming, shoving, and scrambling over each other to get out...but all to no avail.

Weehands has bolted the doors while taking a break in the projection room where he's installed a putting green to make the most of his time pulling an IMAX paycheck.

He's done a splendid job in his role during this impeachment and I'm sure he has the admiration of his fellow Democrats.

Trump is encouraging one or more of his rabid base to harm or even kill Schiff.

Damn. I hope House security is mounting additional protections for Schiff.

Democrats really should have passed an article of impeachment for witness intimidation. Trump has been threatening Democrats and trial witnesses on Twitter and in his speeches ever since the Mueller probe started. Putting political opponents lives in danger and trying to prosecute them is a definite abuse of power.

When this is all over (and it will be, sooner or later), Schiff will be the hero. He is a righteous man, and Inhofe and Graham as much as admitted it to his face.
