There is his Article 5 game-playing with NATO - after the only time it has been invoked was in response to 9/11.

Yes it’s surprising/frustrating how even when we finally have an explanation for why we were ignored as children, there is still a part of us that remains affected and/or imagining a rewrite of childhood.

Only today’s new revelation that he wanted a Soviet post in the 80s to make nuclear arms deals. Oh, and to solve the Cold War in an hour. Does that help? (how does this happen every. single. day.)

I wonder what exactly were the lyrics of the song? It was supposedly about her birth, which makes it likely there were some flowery words in there for “accident”.

I agree. And there’s a difference between heavy partier and likely hardcore alcoholic with nothing else to do in life. As a society we’re just not good at recognizing even the basic signs of alcohol abuse and we’re quick to rationalize and excuse. A few days immersed in that lifestyle would be an eye-opener.

This entire incident has me curious. The times I’ve seen the show, they’ve shown care and restraint when judging children and youths, and have often gone out of their way with kindness - judges have left their seats and gone up to the stage to comfort someone young who didn’t make the cut. It’s very much been like a…

Great summary of the show’s appeal. I think that’s Martin Mull in the tvland reunion pic...so your wish to have him back may have already come true.

I don’t think Pink was one of the ones caught up with luke’s tactics, I think she would have spoken out about him by now. She had problems with drug abuse as a young teen before her career, and legit therapists.

40ish me loved discovering this song & her catalog - such an insightful emotional songwriter while facing how messed up my childhood was & family is

Yes. She wasn’t shy about it, the L.A. character in the video has a physical resemblance & his distinct look. I love how the video makes the lyrics very clear with the chalkboard drawing

I find that pic distracting for the Kate Hudson/Heidi Klum effect, when more than one rhinoplasty makes you wonder if that’s really the look they were going for.

Yes, this story shows the weak insecure narcissistic side, and the very primitive drives of the sociopath, only the most basic needs like food (not complex things like empathy). Every one I’ve known was over-focused on food. Hence his description of chocolate cake along with the missile strike on Syria - 1) Never miss…

Between the Angie haters and Jen haters, somehow he avoided correctly-placed judgment - because he’s pretty? Funny how women are so quick to eviscerate women, and leave him alone. Standard teflon drama-lovin narcissist who stirs it up & always escapes unscathed.

Yes to the glommer description! He absolutely does, even back with Juliette Lewis. Without his own depth and sense of self, he takes their look, persona, values. He’s an empty vessel.

I would say both women, having seen a post further down that describes another video for this episode - where the guy’s penchant for duplicity is revealed. I feel for the wife’s mental health issues, and I also feel for both women who were both deceived by this guy and yet have remained with him, which suggests an…

No, he absolutely does not know how ridiculous these are. He thinks he’s deep - meanwhile it’s his chameleon qualities that have allowed him to be a decent character actor, but his lack of personal depth limits the weight he brings to other roles.

Hm, to your point... He has frequently said “Russia is a ruse”. That is an odd word choice for a denial or deflection. Sure, it may just be his vocabulary of a 5 year old.

His gig as “spokesman for the farmers” is likely done.

No. I can’t believe that this narcissistic sociopath has any concept of empathy, heart and how decisions affect people. I go with your 2nd option, “someone Ivanka told him” in an attempt at self-preservation.

He has the self-centered entitled douchey nature of a narcissist - but the type that people don’t immediately recognize, who hides behind jokey folksy humor and ‘plain ole regular-guy me’ image. In that light, his twitter cat giveaway & pouty defense is not clueless, it’s a lack of compassion and empathy.
