The Scorpion and the Tortoise: Enacted in American politics

Seth: i think you nailed it ... it is what "lives in him" .... like the scorpion on the frog's back ... he said "she is blending out of her wherever" because that was his thought ... all rationalization aside that was how he actually felt ... that is his nature ... just like it is the nature of a scoption to sting ... regardless of his stated intentions and after the fact rationalizations that he attempts to tell. But is he honest .... nope ... not on his life. If he was honest, he would admit that was how his being reacted and that was the meaning of the words that came out of his mouth.

Yep, that's why one should not believe & identify with what the punditocracy spreads.


Your criticism here lacks merit.

Huh? Now suddenly one needs to personally speak to a politician to interpret his words? Give me a break!

Mark, had you listened to the entire interview, you would have realized that it was probably not clipped and edited after the fact ... also i listened to the actual debate itself and heard Kelly's initial questions and his responses live. Now i am being the pundut and i am not relying on others to form my opinion. You on the other hand seem to me to be at least one he-said-she-said level removed from what Trump is doing ... as far as i can tell you have heard none of this live.

To call Donald Trump a narcissist is, of course, to state the clinically obvious. There is the egotism of narcissism, the grandiosity of narcissism, the social obtuseness of narcissism. But if Trump is an easy target, he is also a pitiable one. Narcissism isn’t easy, it isn’t fun, it isn’t something to be waved off as a personal shortcoming that hurts only the narcissists themselves, any more than you can look at the drunk or philanderer or compulsive gambler and not see grief and regret in his future.
For now, yes, the Trump show is fun to watch. It will be less so if the carnival barker with his look-at-me antics continues to distract people from a serious discussion of important issues. It will be less still if Trump actually does wind up as the nominee of a major political party or mounts an independent campaign and succeeds in tipping the vote one way or the other.
But that kind of triumph is not the fate that awaits most narcissists. Their act becomes old, their opponents become bold, and the audience—inevitably—moves onto something else. Trump the phenomenon will surely become Trump the afterthought. He is a man who desperately hungers for respect and attention and who, by dint of that very desperation, will likely wind up with neither. The pain will be his; the relief will be ours.

rather i am trying to become aware of how his behavior is affecting political motivations in our country. Will the American people actually buy his peculiar brand of bravado ... will he convince enough people that he will win for them? I really can not be emoting about his comparison to obama and hillary and remain sensitive to his effect doing what he is particularly is doing.


Lead by force of egoo alone ...
An interesting drama indeed !
in absolutely unrelated news, britebard.com becomes unavailable






but hey, go over there and see what you think ... is their normal snarky coverage being further twisted by Trump?
Anyway when it comes to a GFY campaign, who is better to know about it than Ben Shapiro of breitbrt ... i trust him explicitidly in this context

Critics of Donald Trump’s rise in the Republican polls have now turned on large swaths of the Republican base in a fit of pique and frustration.
Is this not the very nature of egoo itself?

How Roger Ailes Picked Trump, and Fox News’ Audience, Over Megyn Kelly

shucks looks like they are not going to transcribe this interview ... oh well ... i might need to find the passage myself where, if i could believe in Trump's ego, he almost convinced me that he could be good for the country ... a momentary flash which will not last ... but a flash nonetheless. Lot's of great (or terrible) movements thought history have been manifested by the ego of just one individual.
Oh well, since this is part of his stump speech routine, doubtlessly it will resurface. Believe, believe, in the force of a single ego to control it's reality ...
i say, if you go down that rout, make sure it is your own.

If your comments are to be pertinent here, you will need to listen to this entire context and the unedited live debate.
What specifically is the "this" that is funny to you? Trump's political behavior ... or my interpertation of it? If the former, then i am totally laughing too



If the latter, then as far as i can tell, you are just confused.



I mean look at them ... they are made for each other



more context in my comment on G+
I really don't know what you are saying ... except perhaps you don't like gossip.
I do not "have a hair up my ass about Trump", though i certainly have noticed what he is doing ... and yes, it fascinates me.
Fact is, i am predicting Trump may well be our next president.
You seem to want to project me into some boring partisan fight about that ... apparently not noticing my disinterest. Well, too bad i have not lived up to your expectations ... nope not playing that game with you. I will continue to ignore your goading me in that ridiculous direction ... becoming aware of what is actually going down in our country is far more interesting.



Fact is i think Trump could end up being a great president for the US nation. But, of course, you won't accept that i can honestly think such a thought .... no, it doesn't fit in with the story you keep telling yourself about me ... you, shouting your stories back at me, wanting to make them ring truer to yourself.
Funny shit that

I don't believe i read the whole thing

Murdoch’s ideology is one directly opposed to what Trump believes, especially when it comes to the issues of trade and immigration. As the 2016 election cycle progresses, with one of its best players in Kelly on intellectual battlefield sidelines"she’ll keep hosting her program and getting high ratings, but she’s forever lost the claim to impartiality thanks to Trump"the Fox News Channel is likely going to escalate, on behalf of the Murdochs’ worldview on immigration and trade, the war with Trump.

Incidentally it is true, "nobody is purely impartial", yet from time to time journalists (or bloggers) are more or less objective. But the idea that Megyn was "exposed" as not being unbiased on Fox, seems to me to be absurd on its face. I can see, however, how that idea would resonate with those who buy into Fox's "fair and balanced" slogan. Which is another example of (originally Mark's idea?) that politics is RWG all the way down ... as implemented by Stones Rules.
