Keith Olbermann nails Trump on his Texas Trip

[tlongII]

He disrupted the highways in Corpus Christi and disrupted the operations at the fire station he visited there. Your excuse making is pathetic. Stick to defending hats.

You don't know about this disaster, so just shut up.

So what is it you want? He visits Corpus Christi and it's bad. He doesn't visit Houston and it's bad. You're all over the place.

[RandomGuy]

I'm sure he disrupted those when his motorcade shut down the highways, so what's a few more minutes to actually be President?

We'll he didn't disrupt anything in Houston. My understanding is the Houston area suffered the most as well.

Not an answer to the question you ing dishonest sack of crap.

He could have met with someone, anyone, even for a few minutes.

He chose not to.

Wow. It just dawned on me that you know he doesn't give a . That is why you are so defensive.

You know, on some level, we are right about this, but you can't bring yourself to admit it.

wow.

[Pavlov]

You're an idiot, dude. Just stay in your safe space bubble.

You're not right. That is what is so infuriating about you. Of course he cares. Anyone human would care. You just can't accept that reality.

[Pavlov]

Dude didn't mention the victims once during his photo op in a disaster area.

Not once.

Anyone human would mention the victims.

[RandomGuy]

You're not right. That is what is so infuriating about you. Of course he cares. Anyone human would care. You just can't accept that reality.

I really don't think he does.

He is a sociopath.

Glibness and Superficial Charm

Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels en led to certain things as "their right."

Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Incapacity for Love

Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.

Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, en led to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.

Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.

Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

Go ahead.


Tick off the list in your head when you think of Trump's actions and words. See how many checkboxes you get.

Trump's initial response about the collision of the John S. McCain: "That's too bad."

[RandomGuy]

People with this disorder appear to be charming at times, and make relationships, but to them, these are relationships in name only. They are ended whenever necessary or when it suits them, and the relationships are without depth or meaning, including marriages. They seem to have an innate ability to find the weakness in people, and are ready to use these weaknesses to their own ends through deceit, manipulation, or intimidation, and gain pleasure from doing so.

Think about all the underlings thrown under the bus.

You're an idiot, dude. Just stay in your safe space bubble.

I am not an idiot. I try to refrain from disparaging people like that, but unfortunately sometimes I fail. My father had a phd in Engineering and a BS in physics. My mother has a Masters in Education. My brother is a retired analytical scientist with 7 patents to his name. My sister has a BS in chemical engineering and runs a large silicon wafer fabrication facility. Now I just have a BS in Accounting and an MBA, but I would bet I can hold my own with anyone here regarding intelligence level.

[Pavlov]

This mother er misses the most obvious chances to be even tutorial-level presidential:

a) Nazis are bad.

b) Support servicemen in peril.

c) Sympathize with disaster victims.

0 for 3

You didn't know Corpus Christi was hit by a hurricane. You can't Mensa your way out of that.

I didn't? News to me.

[Pavlov]

I heard it wasn't that bad around Corpus! Saying something about victims would've disrupted relief efforts!

[tlongII]

You might want to actually quote me.

Like that for example.

[tlongII]

Quote your family's degrees?

If you want to that's fine with me.

[tlongII]

Alright gotta go now. Might check in later.

[Pavlov]

Where did I claim he did you ing idiot? You just don't get it. Why would he interrupt the very much needed relief efforts for a photo op? Is that what you think is needed at a catastrophe like this? A photo op? Unbelievable.

Why did he interrupt relief efforts in Corpus Christi for a photo op? Why did he shut down the main supply road from Austin to Houston twice in one day for a photo op?

[Pavlov]

Like that for example.

Yep, Trump disrupted all that for a photo op.

[johnsmith]

I heard it wasn't that bad around Corpus! Saying something about victims would've disrupted relief efforts!

I don't think Tlong said that. Just sayin'

[Pavlov]

I don't think Tlong said that. Just sayin'

Hence no quotes.

So what was your point?
