and then committed a crime to cover up the lie.
Think about the level of depravity that took. Hurricanes are life and death events - not vanity projects for assholes with big egos.
This has to be stopped. This has gone way too far. This is not trivial - it is frightening.

(5,914 posts)The kind of crime you hear about on those podcasts that deal with dumb criminals and the stupid things they do.
Like guys who call the cops to complain that $10,000 in cocaine was just stolen from them.
Or people who break into stores with full burglary tools, etc., not realizing that the store is still open, full of customers, and the police station is right next door.
This was even more ridiculous and inept than that.

Lonestarblue
(10,053 posts)His constant paranoia, anger, mental confusion, and worry that he is losing control of the economy and some of his voters (the independents) are taking a toll. If hes in the beginning stages of dementia, his anger, his incessant repetition of every crazy thought, his sing-song speech pattern and inability to remember words are all symptomatic. Now Im wondering whether his advisers/family insisted that he cancel his trip and send Pence because they were worried about his mental condition and that he might publicly show that he is becoming irrational.

The irony is that the cast majority of models on the map circulated by Florida water were not included in NOAA's map on the same day.

Bob Loblaw
(1,900 posts)to have presided over the greatest hurricane in history, that's why he wasn't aware that a Cat 5 even existed. I would almost wager that he'll claim some sort of credit for causing Dorian to miss Alabama. Probably due to his constant monitoring between "gimme" 20 foot putts.

(22,740 posts)The Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) is a diagnostic tool used to rate a person's psychopathic or antisocial tendencies. People who are psychopathic prey ruthlessly on others using charm, deceit, violence or other methods that allow them to get [away] with [what] they want. The symptoms of psychopathy include: lack of a conscience or sense of guilt, lack of empathy, egocentricity, pathological lying, repeated violations of social norms, disregard for the law, shallow emotions, and a history of victimizing others.
Originally designed to assess people accused or convicted of crimes, the PCL-R consists of a 20-item symptom rating scale that allows qualified examiners to compare a subject's degree of psychopathy with that of a prototypical psychopath. It is accepted by many in the field as the best method for determining the presence and extent of psychopathy in a person.
The Hare checklist is still used to diagnose members of the original population for which it was developed adult males in prisons, criminal psychiatric hospitals, and awaiting psychiatric evaluations or trial in other correctional and detention facilities. Recent experience suggests that the PCL-R may also be used effectively to diagnose sex offenders as well as female and adolescent offenders.

(38,439 posts)It won't be stopped. This train is longer and stronger than any other in history. It got Nixon, Al Capone, and it will get Donald Trump. A little slow, but on its way. If anything gets in its way, it will knock it down, and then run it over.

(22,976 posts)but the way things are rigged, nothing will be done to eliminate the problem. And as sure as therell be more marketplace massacres with military-style weapons, Trump will continue to lie, steal, cheat and break laws in plain sight.
And with all the insanity and lawlessness on display, I dont feel particularly confident that the 2020 election will be free and fair.
Common sense has left the building.
