Yeah... don't do that.

I can't wait for all of these old conservative baby boomers to die off. I also can't wait for Trump to pass away too.

One silver lining to all of this is that people in red states die much sooner than those in blue states.

Trump's voice is somehow destroyed. Hear his voice if he speaks moderate.

Does he have a cold? Is it his age?It's really broken

Somewhat shockingly, the SCOTUS isn't using the recent Immunity Ruling to obstruct Trump's sentencing for his 34 felony convictions, which will take place before the end of the month.

While no one is expecting serious prison time for Trump, a suspended jail sentence or house arrest could hurt his ability to campaign.

Let say the truth, the man is a joke but he is convict of himself. Even some people from the Truth and Love communites doubt themselfs sometimes but the old joker is resilient. This what happens when you sell your soul to the Devil?

He's almost 80 and out of shape. It's amazing he can even (somewhat) hold it together for 90 minute ramblings.

I love the Dark Crystal! I actually just decided to re-watch the Age of Resistance series this past week.

So, I have Skeksis on the brain.

Such an apt metaphor for how those with the worst impulses often make it into power... while those with the best impulses end up ineffective and powerless like the Mystics before the Great Conjunction.

I never been more excited for a match made in heaven between devils. I wonder if Elon will realize that every word Trump says is a lie and designed only to further his agenda.

Of course Elon knows Trump is a self-serving con artist. Elon knows he himself is a con artist and he knows Trump is. He just doesn't care because he fancies himself an apex predator. They are two of the largest falsehood disseminators on the planet coming together, not to collaborate, but to benefit from each other. They both know this.

No he does not.

This is unconscious for both of them. They think they are saving the world.

Edit: Trump less so than Elon.

Totally disagree! Trump doesn't care anything about saving the world. LOL. Neither does Elon. 

There's no way I'm wrong about this. Both men are driven by their own self-aggrandizement. Neither of them are ideological. Musk acts like he is but that's just a game he plays to give himself the illusion he's great at being an apex predator, because he needs a good reason for his self-aggrandizement. What better proof that you're an apex than actually conning all the plebs that you care about them and the planet they live on? 

If Elon and Trump actually cared about the world, they wouldn't be so bad. 

Jordan Peterson actually does have a heart and cares about the world. So does Squeaky Benjamin. But Trump and Elon, hell no!

If the devil came up from hell and went to Trump and said, I'll make you the next president but I'll have to wipe out 75% of the U.S population for that to happen.

Do you think Trump would take that deal? 😂

Would Elon? 😂

They are both megalomaniacal. But I sense that Elon has justified the lying and doesn't see himself as a conman... while Donald Trump is okay with being a conman and knows that he lies.

I see Elon Musk as unconsciously being driven to being a megalomaniacal conman out of a desire to redeem himself and be validated in the eyes of others. And the lies he tells, in his mind is a sort of Machiavellian "ends justify the means" desire to be the hero in others' eyes he imagines himself to be. 

And if he were to see himself as a conman, he would probably feel ashamed. So, he is unconscious to it.

Conversely, I see Trump as consciously being driven to being a megalomaniacal conman out of a desire to achieve maximum power and that he values power and strength over a claim to goodness and honesty (which he may view as weak and therefore bad).

And he doesn't mind the lying as he just sees it as a neutral tool of power acquisition and something that strengthens him. 

So... Donald Trump's guiding compass is more akin to... "More power is good... less power is bad." than "Honesty is good... lying is bad."

So... my sense is that Elon has lots of moral justifications for his lies that make it do all sorts of mental gymnastics to avoid seeing himself as a conman because he is motivated along a moral self-identity narrative of saving the world.

And my sense is that Donald Trump knows he's lying and doesn't care. So, he doesn't need to trick himself into believing he's not lying... as he motivates himself along a warlord-ish strength narrative. And the only bad thing is weakness from that paradigm.
