I see the Dems/liberal like this.. You go out to eat and get a great waiter/service but the food is terrible. You still tip the waiter very well {taxes}, but you go home hungry. With Trump, the service is terrible but the food is great, you don't tip the waiter a dime and go home well fed, but angry. I prefer my family eating as more necessary!

Thats what happens when psychiatric patients like psychopaths and people with narcissistic personality disorder come to ransl and powers. Then they are not just ill anymore, but dangerous and a threat to the common public. Most autocratic tyrants in history and in the present, are like this.
You the one with a diploma, so you know more about a public person than I do..I do know that a President...psycho or not must have some to put a vote on them...otherwise they would not win a seat/the presidential election.

Meanwhile in the E.U. where they dont vote for their leaders. German elitists having by their behavior driven the British out of the E.U. Are now setting their sights once again on the French.

I see a big threat, which grows from week to weak, and that is that Trump simply refuses to accept even clear defeat. The US system is surprisingly weak, experty say, regarding enforcment of such acceptance, since it was designed on the premisse that he who lost honestly and honkurably admits that and steps back voluntarily. Trump just has refused for the repeated time that he would, and has rallied the legal experts around him seeking advice how to not leave if he looses. And not forget that he is und er threat of getting sued once the legal immunity of his office ends. He also applauded Xi for turning the Chinese pr esidency into an unlimited one, I mean: for life, he said that in the US one should do it like that, too. Formall y, and I mean just formally, military and secret service remain under his command. I am really increasingly worried about civil war like unrest and an coup d'etat indeed, Trump has demonstrated his antipathy for rulesand law before, risks to get sued after the WH, and has done quite some manouvers now indicating that he might nt want to accept even clear defeat and would try to play foul. Why just ignoring his words and indications? Why assuming that a frog stops squawking and jumping? He has never cared for legalty in his life - only for getting away with something. His biography is full with that. And he is a man with a narcissistic personality order and antisocial personality, such people just cannot bear to be rejectex, they cannot bear not to be liked. If they are not liked, in their inside they want to force the other than to like them. So, psychodynamically he is an extremely dangerous, sick person. And his - often armed! - fans are not the brightest lamps on the lamp shop's shelves, too.


Plenty of reasons to be very concerned.

Against democracy.


https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/24/p...unt/index.html


"I spent 38 years as a Republican lawyer going into precincts looking for evidence of fraud. There are, to be sure, isolated cases, but nothing like the widespread fraud that would somehow invalidate an election or cause anyone to doubt the peaceful transfer of power," Ben Ginsberg, who helped litigate the 2000 election on George W. Bush's behalf, told CNN's John King on Thursday. "So what's different about this is a president of the United States going right at one of the pillars of the democracy without the evidence that you have got to have to make that case."

CNN Asks Guest If Military Would Intervene if Trump Doesn’t Leave Office.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahba...ffice-n2576901

Quote:
During an interview with former national security adviser H.R. McMaster, Wolf Blitzer asked what would happen with the military in that type of situation.

“General, if the president were to lose the election on November 3rd, and if he were to refuse to concede — this is a hypothetical, but you’re a military guy — what role would the U.S. military have to play in that type of scenario?"

McMaster replied, "Absolutely no role."
Quote:
"And those who suggest that the military would have any role in transition, they are being equally irresponsible," McMaster continued.
Mean while on the other side of the argument ...

Quote:
South Carolina Democrat Jim Clyburn has said that Trump is not going to win fairly.

Senator Barbara Boxer has said that the only way Trump will win is to steal it.

The Washington Post' has noted, 'Democrats may not trust the results of the election if Trump wins.'

Hillary Clinton says that Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstance.

Drip drip



Quote:
An FBI agent who played a lead role investigating Michael Flynn told the Justice Department there was never evidence of wrongdoing by the retired general or Russian collusion by President Trump, but the probe was kept open by Special Counsel Robert Mueller because his team had a "get Trump" goal, according to an explosive interview released Friday. Agent William Barnett's interview with Justice Department prosecutors earlier this month provided a bombshell claim that both FBI superiors under agency Director James Comey and Mueller's team exhibited bias in their pursuit of Trump that upended the normal investigative decisions, tactics and commitment to pursue evidence neutrally.
The interview emerged just one day after the Justice Department released text messages showing FBI analysts bought liability insurance in January 2017 because they feared they could be sued for misconduct committed during the Russia probe.

I watched a lengthy interview with Bill Gates this weekend by a TED moderator . He asked Bill what he does feel about this crazy conspiration theories, that a vaccine his foundation helps to research would inject a microchip into the people so that he (Gates) could track them.

The moderator claims that according to a study 40% of the Republican voters would believe this story.

I can only hope this is not true but on the other hand it would explain a lot. Especially regarding Trump.

Welcome to the stone age. I have a business idea: Let's create a service, where everybody can create his conspiration theory and get followers. Since AI is progressing fast these days, it could help to formulate such theory. It does not really understand it since there is nothing to understand about it

You should avoid analogies.

This made me remember a science article in which it said
2/3 of the Americans believed in conspiracy.

Then some percentage of how many who believe the moonlanding was a hoax and so on.
This was nothing but a little off topic answer to Hawk66.

Back to political discussion but still using some of it.
2/3 may believe in conspiracy....but how many percent do believe their politicians ?
Conspiracy is said to contain an uns of truth...how much truth is it in what a politicians is telling the spectators at some election meeting ?

Editing
I wanted to see this man to man battle between Trump and Biden live, the problem is the time it start will be 0300 here in Denmark. Thank God I have a usb-harddrive connected to my tv(PVR) so I can see it after breakfast and other things.
End editing

Bird,for a self proclaimed psychiatrist you sure do let our President Donald Trump rent a lot of space in your head.

Do you think that the next election will include at least one functioning adult?

Not seen last nights debate yet but going by the news prompts on my iPhone thus far, I'm certainly looking forward to viewing it.
