Quaid... start the tax cuts!

Guess a movie doesn’t begin at conception either.

Your experience appears to be different, but I’ve always understood the general consensus to be that narcissists are actually very easy to manipulate. The limitation on that is usually that it’s difficult for neuro-typical people bear doing the things you have to do to manipulate them, at least for long periods of

All you have to do is look at Trump’s past to know he’s being blackmailed by Putin.

At the most simple level, knowing only what I read or hear in the news, I think Putin explains to Trump that he has two choices; 1) Go along with me and cast doubt on my interference with your election or 2) I will admit what I did and your election becomes indefensibly illegitimate. Basically Trump is cornered here.

He doesn’t have to play someone he owns.

Something just occurred to me. I have dealt with narcissists in my life and the one absolute constant with those assholes is that you CAN’T play them like a fiddle. They are unplayable. Every single time you think you have outgunned or outmaneuvered them, they will just go sideways and leave you baffled and confused.

“As of October 2017, Gallup polling found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrat, 24% identified as Republican, and 42% as Independent.”

Because we largely vote for 1 of 2 parties doesn’t mean that those parties actually represent a purality of the people. They don’t.

“because they don’t 100% agree with you

How do you not know this or are you just a liar?

Anyone that helps to keep the GOP in power is a traitor to the country. I’ll never think of him the same way again. 

They already have it.

It’s nuts how you can look at literally half the country and just assume that because they don’t 100% agree with you politically that they are somehow bad people.

...but he’s not in bed with Russia.

Selfishness is not a virtue, it’s a symptom of sociopathy...

It is a conspiracy but it’s no theory. Trump is owned by Putin and Russian gangsters and has been for a long time. Watch as this unfolds. We are in for some rough times.

No.

What’s the problem?
