It’s bad enough that we have to deal with these faux-patriotic displays once a year, but seeing it filtered through his incoherent logorrheic discharges is the worst.

Miller is Count Orlok.

He’s both a malignant narcissist and a longtime cocaine/amphetamine abuser. Anecdotally speaking, narcissists seem to loooove that shit, because it amplifies the egocentricity.

That’s rough, but not unexpected. It burns out certain dopamingergic pathways. Alcohol is not a good coping mechanism, either. Short term, it can have a positive effect, but habitually it actually makes depression overall worse.

100% that he has brain damage from decades of amphetamine abuse.

“Thinking will get you killed...”

Rob’s standard operating procedure is to attack Bernie and his supporters no matter what the topic is.

It may be that the statute of limitations would prevent prosecution.

I’d go back farther, to their embrace of the Southern Strategy. Not only was it racist as fuck, it was as cynical as can be, and that cynicism has guided them ever since.

Of all the far-right movements and governments in south and central america, Brazil is the one I understand the least.
