Jerry_Atrick Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Oh.. I dunno.. The Trump kids don't seem to have dropped very far from the tree; and Lachlan Murdoch much the same.

Litespeed Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Sadly, Liz Cheney is an outlier for her genetics. She missed the greedy psychopathic drive of her father and got the intelligence and compassion of the postman. The Trump's are a great example of inbreeding causing collapse of genetic viability. If he was a Roman Emperor, Donald would be Caligula. The Murdoch's are similar but the old man is Dark lord Palpatine from Starwars. Both are evil in intent. Only one is Batshit crazy. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see our parents problems and history for that matter requires insight, perspective and the ability to see others with respect and understanding of circumstances. The Trump's and Murdoch's have this only as a regressive gene and has never been expressed. The ego gene however is even stronger than the delusional gene, both inversely proportional to the emotional intelligence and empathy genes. And that's before we talk about the home environment, another rocket powered ego expander. The day the Fake carrot top wears orange prison clothes will be a great day. Sadly nutjob Trumpists will try and break him out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 POWER CORRUPTS but Trump was deliberately Created by his Father to be someone SPECIAL, who is NEVER wrong. READ his Neice's,( Mary Trump.s) book " Too Much and Never Enough. How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man" she's a trained Psychologist and It's an easy read.

Bruce Tuncks Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 It is impressive that " pure" dictatorships dress themselves up as democratic from time to time. Russia has elections for gods sake. I still reckon that outing this nonsense is a worthwhile thing to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tuncks Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 I reckon "flawed democracy" is a good description of the US. They too would be given a good kick up the bum if they had to apply to join a " democratic" group of nations and were only given partial membership till they improved. I wonder if the pure dictatorships would still bother with things like sham elections? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will most likely end Badly. Nev I am going to play devil's advocate on this one. The US suffered its worst attack on democracy in 2024; and while it took a battering, it stood firm. The Georgia Governor, a Republican, resisted severe pressure to attempt to overturn the election. Many Republican nominee judges threw out the false election lawsuits. The fake electors are in gaol, awaiting sentence, or are being tried. Many of Trump's accomplices also are in the same boat, with some high profile ones agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors to record convictions, but testify against Trump. Yet, despite all the truths coming out of the woodwork, the polls say the majority of Americans want Trump back (at least against Biden). Many are moderates and don't want everyting he represents, but want enough to turn a blind eye. They have heard him say he will seek revenge; they have heard him say he will become a dictator (only on day 1). They have seen him in action. So, if they vote him in, then that is democracy, is it not? It probably stops being democracy soon after as, when the yanks finally wake up and smell the roses, they will not be able to vote him and his machine out.
