  1. Just plain "stupid" too, & poster child for "Dunning-Kruger" syndrome -
    as explained in one minute by Dr. John Cleese (Monty Python):

    youtube.com/watch?v=wvVPdyYeaQU

    Nobody has ever seen so much ignorance & disinterest in #truth, #justice, #democracy, or any other concept of a concept which doesn't translate to "me, me, mine!"

    Me terrific. "Perfect, really". Everyone who doesn't love/obey: disgraceful.

    Possibly related, definitely relevant:

    Another study from Cornell (#DunningKruger) famously found that the LEAST competent to judge excellence are the most prone towards exaggerating their own excellence.(Sound familiar?)

    John Cleese describes the "Dunning-Kruger" effect in 60 seconds:

    All hail Toddler King #TrumpVirus, the Stable Genius ("nay!" - 🐴) with all the best words & #WordSalad too.

    "Perfect, really!" "I ended eight wars" - but having gotten only one award, he's giving up on peace and focused on the map and acquiring Greenland. Or anything else other than accountability for #Epstein, #Jan6l or a lifetime of high crime.

  8. 🎯

    #MikeLuckovich sure unpacked a whole lot of truth about #TrumpVirus here!

    That's what he does - and why he won not one, but TWO Pulitzer Prizes (for editorial cartooning). And he's given neither to Sir...

    So many key ingredients are here - like the #narcissistic boasting & #grandiosity, sure he could shoot someone on 5th Ave. & lose none of his #cult love. And look who he would choose to kill: #democracy, #sanity, #truth, & #NATO.

    And the #GQP reply to gun violence? Thoughts & prayers.

  9. All hail the Toddler King, with his terrific new #cognitive clothing!

    Sir #TrumpVirus, stable genius with all the best words - and nobody is smarter or more humble.... Ask anybody!

  10. "In the end there is no one else in their world, because when you are not willing to hear how others feel, what others need, when you do not care, you are not willing to acknowledge others’ existence. That’s how it’s lonely at the top. It is as if these petty tyrants live in a world without honest mirrors, without others, without gravity, and they are buffered from the consequences of their failures."

  11. "In 2017, I wrote of [Trump]: 'I have often run across men (and rarely, but not never, women) who have become so powerful in their lives that there is no one to tell them when they are cruel, wrong, foolish, absurd, repugnant."

    ~ Rebecca Solnit

  12. A quotation from Thoreau

    The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or perchance a palace or temple on the earth, and at length the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed of them.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    Journal (1852-07-14)

  13. A quotation from Russell

    One of the symptoms of approaching nervous break-down is the belief that one’s work is terribly important, and that to take a holiday would bring all kinds of disaster.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 5 “Fatigue” (1930)

  14. What a surreal & absurd world of #GQP #disinformation and #disrespect - for women, #truth, #justice, & #democracy

    But Sir Stable Genius loves women! He'd love to have them for dinner!

    As his sidekick JD #Vancevirus is busy eating cat ladies' #pets - and #reality

    "Only Emperor StableGenius can save us!" ... say the programmed #cult of #sycophants & "psychophants" (psychotic GOP elephants?) ;)

    Two legendary Lords of #disinformation, #grandiosity, #narcissism & #immunity

    No problem taking on a #TrumpVirus position, heading a department of government tasked to work for We the People. (Guessing, maybe treasury? State?)

    In his "spare time" of course ...
    No worries about Tesla, Space-X, #truth

  16. People with narcissism “may be grandiose or self-loathing, extraverted or socially isolated, captains of industry or unable to maintain steady employment, model citizens or prone to antisocial activities,” according to a review paper on diagnosing the disorder.

  17. The Calamity of America’s ‘Divine Mission’
    consortiumnews.com/2023/02/10/
    The same hubris that drives U$A's racism & imperialism today--& its capo, Israel. G_d ordained us, Zion, to be the superior race that will inherit the earth, "civilizing" it by removing the subhuman savages in the way, & making heaven on earth. Onward, Judeo-Christian soldiers! Bombs away!

  18. A quotation from Della Casa, Giovanni:

    «««««
    By a pompous parade of words, some learned men have so managed it, that an unjust cause has often gained the victory, and reason submitted to sophistry and chicane.
    [Gli uomini letterati, per pompa di parlare, fanno ben spesso che il torto vince, e che la ragione perde.]
