Every family I’ve known with 3 sons has serious issues. Even families that seemed totally normal had dark aspects and major family secrets, alcoholism, abuse, etc. Personality disorders were also a common thread.

Oh I hope so. I’ve known several narcissistic sociopaths and they are teflon, nothing ever sticks...they drop the people who see them for who they are, keep their faithful minions and move on to their new fabrications.

With Trump’s focus on appearances, supposedly nagging Spicer to step up his suits (and apparently facial self-tanner) it’s odd that Trump has no issues whatsoever with the bag of garbage that Bannon looks like - he appears unwashed (like for several days), his clothes look borrowed from a dumpster, he looks like he…

That’s a long time, and he’s a guy who has made a career out of reading people. He must be very relieved now

That’s despicable. I’m sorry for your experience, though I loved your story about the judge - that kind of awareness seems rare unfortunately.

Someone who is an abusive sociopath who wants to control her and make her feel lesser in every possible way...which also explains his egg-hunt

I’ve had that happen when I’m viewing an ‘old’ version of the page with outdated star numbers, etc. - refreshing the page to get current proper totals has fixed the problem for me and allowed me to give stars again

The really good abusers are great at telling stories of how they’ve been victims of their bitchy difficult lying wives - it doesn’t just work as a pickup line for dating, it can get a lawyer in their corner too. Choosing to believe that makes it a lot easier to take money.

I’m not sure how long they worked together on America’s Got Talent but I’m guessing Howard likely saw/heard/suspected that it was far from a healthy situation.

The mom-daughter legal team taking on Trump and his wonderful buddies at Fox may have something to do with this sudden seemingly random lashing out...mere days after his pandering comments about Sexual Assault Awareness month.

Sade obsession too? His Aaliyah back tat and obsession (that would otherwise be stalkerish!) doesn’t seem like a tribute, it’s almost a disrespectful abuse of an artist who died tragically, linking himself to her...

Yes, Kushner’s arrogance is way past confidence and similar to Trump’s “I am the only one”. I actually know a woman with that kind of delusional arrogance whose career is really a complete con.

YES he does. Ivanka married her father basically. Fairly common when your male role model is a con...you are blind to it.

The ex allegedly cheated on him.

The dead weight phenomenon! I swear it’s an old instinct to protect from predators “nope, this one’s too heavy to carry, I’ll just find something else to eat”. When they want to be picked up they can be light as a feather.

The fact that Trump thinks these weird rallies will keep people’s attention span for 4 or 8 years is cause for concern.

Hm, seeing the discipline as a positive is an interesting way to look at it that I hadn’t considered. I saw narrow focus, relentless pursuit, and aside from the wealth an otherwise empty life - he had riches, but not richness where it mattered/human connection, and all that he hadn’t appreciated in his former life…

I totally buy that Angelina is a mom and happy in that role. I don’t get that feeling from him. I think it was a role he played, a jacket he wore, for a time. And posturing that he wants custody is part of that image - which is not fair for the kids. Just leave them with the parent who relishes being a caregiver.

YES. This is totally the impression I get - like dressing in black & being with Angelina made him “deep”...his hip hairstyle & Gwyneth made him alt-cool, time with Jen was his tanned golden-boy star period. and just hanging with Juliette, period, made him counter-culture. I don’t get the feeling there’s any there,…

I actually think he may not realize how twitter & the internets work by leaving records - I mean, he has staff print out online news for him to read, so....
