(2,398 posts)It seems that lots of people are one the ragged edge every day, and all this shit just pushed them over the line.
And, of course, trump encourages every paranoid delusion in the book... and then some... so impressionable/gullible people hanging on by their fingernails lose their grip.

The batshit crazy is strong in that one.

(9,650 posts)This makes me wonder how many of these people were already teetering on the edge, and the pandemic has just pushed them off the cliff.
It's really sad to see so many people who needs serious mental health care. They are brainwashed. I feel for the people who have to try to treat them. How in the world do you get through to someone like this?

(15,031 posts)into the darkness of her mind. It won't help that she'll find confirmation for all her delusions every time she sees the President on television or reads his rantings on Twitter.
It's nice, though, that in one short clip we can see confirmation of what we've been calling for for so many, many years: How much better life would be for everyone if all encounters with the police were handled with this composure by law enforcement.

(13,573 posts)a pottymouth. I don't know why they didn't just call Trump and straighten it out?"
I hope a RW friend takes the cheese and calls bullshit so we can lay it on about how that sure seemed legit.

The whole point of their group is to remain anonymous.

Alex4Martinez
(2,193 posts)It looks like a standard Karen incident, but there is much more to the story if you believe Reddit which has video of her being arrested
Her entire story was from 8 Am (ish?) 2 PM? The husband wants a divorce and kicked her out, so she went to a hotel. Went to Target, tried destroying it, and got kicked out. Got an Uber back to her hotel. Immediately went shopping, bought thousands of dollars worth of stuff using daddys credit card (literally). Was eventually stopped because she refused to wear a mask. Got kicked out of the hotel, walked around with hats ON HER FEET because she apparently lost her shoes. Got another Uber to her house. When she went into her house, her Range Rover was there (somehow) and she tried to leave. The husband stopped her, took her purse away to keep her there. Called the cops. Told the cops how much of a threat her husband is, told them he had unregistered guns, anything to get HIM arrested Then here we are.
We have IDed the woman as Melissa Rein Lively the CEO of The Brand Consortium
TBCPR is a creative agency offering public relations, marketing, production & social media services to high impact brands in the luxury lifestyle sector, catering exclusively to affluent audiences and sophisticated clientele. Our approach is unconventional, dynamic, forward-thinking and effective. We move the needle where others have yet to scratch the surface.
She obviously needs a lot of help, I can see why her husband wants to divorce her.

(569 posts)She used to work for a PR firm that represented Arpaio and company. Looks like she's had several very public meltdowns in the last year or so.
Apparently, the meth diagnosis is not far off either.
In a nutshell, rich white woman with mental health issues.

I am increasingly concerned about the safety and well-being of our city and its residents and the lack of decisive leadership that may cost us future economic prosperity. The state of Arizona is an incredible place to live, work and own business with plentiful opportunity for people who want to work hard and make good decisions.

The citys haphazard statement released yesterday does not even come close to taking any sort of significant step to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Yes, reported cases of COVID-19 are currently somewhat low in Arizona. That is changing rapidly on a day-to-day basis. We must act now to keep it that way to protect our state.
We must all collectively make the decision to put people before profits now. We must.
