According to conservative relatives there was no coup, only bad players.
I’m so sick of living in a malignant narcissist’s alternative reality. Can we go back to a time where half of us don’t play along with and encourage the delusions of mental illness? Pretty please?
Idk, 2 people tried to shoot him. I think he’s going to backpedal on that one.
Because as a cluster B personality disorder, the primary statement made when negative but truthful statements are made about them is: nuh-uh. To be clearer: no, they are doing it, not me. “They” being whomever the cluster B personality disorder deems their enemy at the time. (They always have an enemy, of sorts.). Sometimes it’s a vehement: no, YOU are doing this, not me.
It’s a playbook of behavior with cluster B personality disorder that occurs like clockwork.
Cluster B is borderline psychosis due to the alternative realities they present to self and others, which is simply where they exist. There is also high dysfunction for relationships, but not enough life dysfunction to get them institutionalized, most of the time. They are deeply sick individuals in need of help, in need of long term therapy.
So here we are. A vehement denial of behaviors, and a demonization of the ones daring to describe negative behaviors out loud.
And this will be the twist around, the sophistry applied to objections going forward. An accusation of violence where there is none. Granted, that’s the cluster B personality playbook: accuse others of what you yourself are doing. (See: DSM-V). And since MAGA republicans are embracing the cluster B playbook, the above is not surprising, but expected.
Bloodless coup quote extracted from a far right YouTube. The gentleman on display is the president of the heritage foundation, the heritage foundation is heavily involved in writing Project 2025. Context: discussing Supreme Court decision re presidential immunity paving the way to what is needed for the bloodless coup.
Gog.com is always worth a look. I found a functional copy of Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri there.
Please. We will sit at home and cry. Or go wave signs in a street somewhere. And neither of those things will change anything.
They’ve said it out loud. Heritage foundation guy has been saying we’re in the middle of a bloodless coup, bloodless if the left allows it.
The historian, Heather Cox Richardson, can walk you though the legal channels for an election steal, provided the Speaker of the House is on board. I’m not going to dig to find it again. She’s on YouTube.
This is going to be like Roe, isn’t it? Where people know exactly what’s about to happen then act surprised when it does.
Oh right. Vance’s debate argument that you can’t go with what economists say about the economy.
I don’t think a serial cheater and divorcée has any business discussing the appropriate parameters for marriage.
Edit: How old is he? The pic makes him look like a bleached sarcophagus.
Women live longer than men. The geriatric population will naturally be majority female.
Try to stay with me here because I have this crazy idea. It’s out there. So far out there I’m pretty sure it’s never been done. How about we have a woman with medical training in charge of women’s health?
This is exactly it. I keep waking up expecting to read that Trump died in his sleep, that’s how unhealthy he looks.
This is the Vance for President campaign, trump is just the fuel in the car that drives him there.
Mark Cuban has been addressing this with logic. You only sell gold sneakers and shitty coins when you need the money.
Sepsis?! They turned her away with sepsis? That doctor killed her. I don’t understand. Anyone remotely symptomatic of sepsis is admitted. UTIs in the elderly are admitted fairly often, not even to intensive care, for far milder symptoms. The source of the infection is chased down. Treatment happens.
Sepsis screening is one of those baked into the medical record things that everyone is screened for. Even before that, separate assessments were done once a day on everyone, in precovid times. There’s no not screening for sepsis. Septic while pregnant is not leaving, except by AMA.
I can only assume that the staff there is so avoidant they treat pregnant women like kryptonite and make excuses to get them out the door as fast as possible.
Are suicides among healthcare workers up in Texas, compared to baseline rates? How about ED staff burnout? Is Texas bleeding ED staff to other states? I’d be surprised if all of those things weren’t true.
I also wonder how many healthcare workers are voting Harris down there.
For those of you still reading, if this young woman had received treatment, she would now be part of the infamous third trimester “abortion” statistic. Engaging that procedure to expel a dead fetus in order to avoid this outcome involves the same medical procedure: an abortion. Statistics usually make no distinction on the context, just that a medical procedure, an abortion, occurred.
That’s cool. I mean it’s all on paper anyway so I assumed they had some kind of contingency in place for the mail thing, with a system in already in place to only count 1 per, so this all makes sense. And sounds incredibly accessible and easy, in spite of the arson.
You’re saying Vance is a creepy ventriloquist meat puppet. You know, that does explain a lot.
There’s such a disconnect with the raw chaos and statistics of life born of the same impulse that makes people make statements like: everything happens for a reason. Because they desperately want reason to be behind everything that happens, including their kid’s autism.
Life functions contrary to such wishes, chaos and statistics feature prominently instead. Random, shitty things will happen. Living healthy, the statistics of some kind of cancer is still ~30% at baseline. Birth anomalies happen. And, statistically, vaccines save lives from hardship and illness, and just save lives.
The more plausible study on autism suggests waiting to have kids is a factor. Our eggs are produced while still in the womb. Meiosis starts before birth and doesn’t complete until after fertilization. There’s room for corruption there that only goes up over time. It’s why we’re at higher risk of problems with births after 35, including Downs. Live your life as you will, this isn’t some veiled trad wife promotion or some other bs, it’s just a piece of the science on egg health over time. Studies also demonstrate men’s age impacts autism risk as well. Old sperm or old eggs, both increase autism risk. All of that said, it’s important to know there’s no 1 single cause of autism. Again, chaos and statistics, not a neat and tidy fix by removing 1 thing from your lives.
There an Ezra Klein interview with Maggie Haberman, who has followed trump closely from the start in which she says leading the American people is not what he’s interested in. The constitution and rule of law is not what he’s interested in. It’s power. He’s not keen to dive into those other two things.
He’s also way more erratic and impulsive since getting shot at.
And how do the burned ballots get resolved?
And how?
