What a bitch rear end statement. Your party has had horrible approval ratings and the town hall meetings have been disastrous. If anyone is "learning" anything, it is how to blow up our country as we know it.

Here is the account from the Fox News team that was in the room when it happened. This is gold because if Fox News is reporting it then it will be a lot harder for conservatives to claim it is fake news. Also, they claim that not only did he body slam him, but he then got on top of him and started punching him:

Wow, if this is not a prime example of Trump delusionally thinking he is better than everyone else, but in reality is being pushed off the international stage. Everyone else in lock step and he can't even muster up energy to walk. I never want to hear anyone ask a woman if she has enough stamina to run for office or lead a country again.

Is this him being so exhausted now that he is just quitting? Or is this solely the dementia? It boggles my mind that no one in his inner circle is able to wrangle him in or tell him what needs to be done. Now even more work will need to be done to catch up on what was said when he shoots his opinion on Africa later.

I admire Hillary, but I really think she needs to go fade into the background for awhile or at least be politically involved on a smaller scale. She is trying to push herself as the face of resistance, but the problem is that she is not that likeable, and this is the time for new, progressive faces. And her response to Trump's typo while having a shred of truth, was pretty embarrassing and dramatic. We don't need intelligence to be ascribed to him to feel better about our losses. What we need is for Trump to be dressed down, taken to the cleaners and come across as the strong option.

Millenials will never catch a break. We graduated highschool to get sent to Iraq. We get back in time to go through the Great Recession. Survive that by creating the gig economy and never having a career. Now we get to look forward to climate catastrophe and constant medical anxiety. I hope when the seas rise, the Boomers' coffins are washed away.

I've had family members nag at me to buy a house and that we could have another kid as long as "we just started saving money". I would save money if we had any extra, and weren't living pay check to paycheck. There is a huge cognitive abyss where Boomers think they really had it tough so millennials need to "learn the benefits of hard work too".

boomers had it real tough, with their good jobs directly out of high school that paid fair wages with benefits. poo poo was torture

And their beautiful dreams of retirement.

Baby Boomers are an outlier though...our grandparent's generation and prior ones are more populist focused and built on hard work and generosity. The Baby Boomer focus on just putting your head down, fitting in and assimilating with power and searching for pleasure no matter what are poison to a functioning society.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a clinical disorder and being a mental patient raised by a cult does not make you competent to diagnose it, especially in someone you have never met.

Maybe not, but as someone working in mental health with a background in diagnostics, I and my colleagues agree that he is a classic case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Even looking at old footage, it is apparent. He can never be wrong and everything is about his successes, and he only aligns with individuals who can serve a need he has.

Funny you mention this, I was having a debate on healthcare with a republican making $220k+ a year and it basically came down to how many thousands of additional preventable deaths he was okay with for cuts and when he would care about them.

I know this is a little later in the thread, but that is a hugely sociopathic/antisocial set of responses. Is this a friend you have had long? Because I would love to know if they have always had these believes, or if this really is a case of someone holding antisocial beliefs later in life. I think it would be phenomenal to have studies that explored what political parties have the highest amount of sociopaths.

Mental health nerd speak here, but that response of his is textbook dysfunctional. A normal person would read your text as saying, "Wow, that is a douche move and an empathetic person would respond differently". His response was immediately to make it about him and put himself in the place of victimhood.
