    You couldn't be more wrong. Narcissists intensely care what others think of them, despite outward appearances of indifference. Their self-worth hinges on external validation, making them hypersensitive to criticism or rejection.

    Trump may also have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). A person with BPD does not differentiate between good and bad attention, it's all the same to him. So while the malignant narcissism compels him to endlessly lie about tout his record and himself, the BPD in him doesn't care that the attention which comes back to him is in the form of worship, flattery, derision or hatred, so long as it keeps coming.

    They don't care because the politics is now their religion and honestly theyre working very hard in all 50 states so that it doesnt much matter what the general public wants or who they vote for.

    This is why trying to logic with a Trump Supporter works about as well as trying to logic with a devout Christian.  They've managed to turn the rejection of reality inherent in organized religion into a political movement.  Now, if you find a discrepancy between what youre being told and what you see and experience with your own two eyes, its not the fault of the message, its the fault of your perception of it.  Youre just not pious enough to understand the Truth(tm) in their lies.  Its a purity test, plain and simple, and if youre impure, youre the enemy...just like any other fundamentalist sect.

    The Goldwater quote warning about all this has been posted to death so I wont regurgitate it here, but thats basically the problem with modern politics...its no longer based on rationality and facts, its based on the way things "ought to be", and if you question it, you can just go starve and die for all they care.

    Why was one of his campaign promises to release the Epstein files? It wasn't a democrat hoax at that time, only after the public started demanding he do what he promised

    Suddenly now he's suddenly ok with releasing the files. After everything about him has been redacted. Also, is affordability no longer a democratic hoax? Orrr?

    Here's the truth he leaves out. THEY WILL NOT PROSECUTE ANYONE, because the unredacted files wilk come out in discovery and eventually after the trial.

    He's so full of shit, I can't wait till this paper tiger burns to ashes.

    Well they were recadacted and we may never know the truth because Trump Is nothing but a LYING idiot with Low IQ (as he likes to say about his enemies that are way smarter than him).

    I have maintained a theory on this since Pam Bondi made her announcement.

    It's not about Trump being on it. That isn't it. I'm certain he isn't.

    What is likely happening is that intelligence (CIA, NSA, FBI, Etc...) wants to use what they have on these people as leverage to get them to do things. Put out messages or support. Or to essentially spy on certain people. Perform psyops or specific propaganda / counter messaging

    So, intelligence had a little sit down and said "Hey hold off on this information here. We need the leverage right now"

    I'm not happy with it. But seems very likely - given the track record of these agencies. Just look at stuff that has been disclosed from 60 years ago.
    Very much their kind of MO

    But fuck that. 70% of that can be tossed. Release it. Unless it is a legitimate asset needed for national security. I mean, absolutely needed to save American lives.

    Then fuckin release any part not needed for saving lives intelligence bullshit unredacted. Right now.

    Just leave any photos of bad shit happening out.. nobody wants to see that. Put that out in court instead. Evidence. Convictions.

    These agencies have a long history of blackmail and manipulation for purposes of their stated mission. Long history of immoral shit and getting into bed with devils and demons just to get shit done. Blackmail and extortion. Using evidence as leverage.
    It fits them like a glove.

    God knows what amount of this that never got into the public eye that still exists and is being utilized. We won't know for a few lifetimes.

    A story that seems all too familiar.

    He's not talking to the people with common sense and a conscience, every one of these unhinged rants is directed at his uneducated deplorables, those that don't realise they will have no healthcare or a job and no snap which I'm sure a many of them depend on.

    Inflation was over 11.5% (that’s based on my memory as a consumer in 1976) under Gerald Ford. It was pretty bad under the second Nixon administration also. And guess what Nixon tried one of the worst ideas from the communist playbook to fix wages and prices at current levels. That failed. So did Ford’s “whip inflation now” (WIN buttons). Trump’s idea of “history” is his own imagination.

    Us and them again. MAGA are people too and probably have even less status in Trump’s imagination then “radical leftist lunatics”. There are no sides just good and evil which is in a mixture in every single one of us. So the Bible says.

    Perhaps you should read the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

    That law allows redactions for:

    • minors
    • victims
    • ongoing investigations
    • national security
    • child sexual abuse material

    And it forbids redactions for:

    • embarrassment
    • reputational harm
    • political sensitivity

    It does not say anything about redacting "government officials". That phrase comes from the DOJ's internal review protocol for this specific release, which was verbally summarized to reporters. Government officials' faces may be redacted if revealing them would indirectly identify a victim or violate privacy rules.
