Here is another article from a mental health expert providing analysis of Trump's behavior.

Diogenes comments on Feb 18, 2019:

I have actually worked for a company where "nepotism and cronyism" were the only policies allowed. It was MOST unpleasant! ... and their failure kept eating into the government purse.

With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism.

Diogenes comments on Feb 18, 2019:

Yes, a wonder that the bullet to the head didn't kill her- just because she thought girls should have equal rights to education. The cowardly shooter was beaten by a wee girl with courage. Last night I watched a movie about Winnie Mandela. She went off the rails after prison. The question is who wouldn't, spending 400 days in isolation, using a bucket, sleeping on a cement floor, without even a change in clothes? It is rather easy being a philosopher- when a person is comfortable- and well fed.

So (against my better judgement), I was watching Trump announce his "emergency" declaration and.

Diogenes comments on Feb 15, 2019:

I've also said this too often,"Trump is not putting on an act; he IS every bit as stupid as he appears to be!" His only adjective is "great"; if he ever learns two, he will be 100% smarter than he was. Stephen Colbert said, "His speech was about as interesting as listening to paint dry."

Is anyone awake and up to chatting?

Diogenes comments on Feb 15, 2019:

I have said this before, "I am not going to make a hobby of insomnia". I lay awake thinking of all the moronic mistakes I have made in life and then go to the coffee shop at ANY hour. In daytime, when I should be awake, I zonk to sleep due to exhaustion.

Yes.

Donut Earth! Wonder who these Einstein​s voted for.

Diogenes comments on Feb 15, 2019:

I started to read this- then I stopped. I see the point, and Trump is just one of the many who loquaciously fill babble with points- all of them fictional.

Suspicion is a heavy armour, and with it’s weight it impedes more than it protects.

Wow, trump only weights in at 239Lbs.

I am not trying to turn insomnia into some kind of weird hobby. Laid down yesterday afternoon and I slept: totally out of it, then I can't sleep at night.

Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?

Diogenes comments on Feb 13, 2019:

Yes, I certainly agree- but what has "British" have to do with it? My former #1 in Nederland thinks he is a blithering idiot. But any thinking person 'in the world' thinks the same way.

“I do not wish women to have power over men, but over themselves”....Mary Shelley (1797-1851)

Diogenes comments on Feb 13, 2019:

Yes, good quote. When society became more liberated and smoking became more accepted, some women made the choice of NOT smoking, while others chose to smoke and get cancer- like the men! Yes, "power over themselves", whether it be man or woman!

Because I have known despair, I value hope.

Diogenes comments on Feb 12, 2019:

"Tasted"- banal platitudes don't interest me much. "Living a life of misery" is just that- there isn't a wee bit of "tasting"! Yes, some reality is nasty and mean. And a person that has had to live such a life, like that, can have empathy for another who has had the same misery inflicted on them. Yes, it is a rest that is needed- where a person could live in a cloisterd-philisophical (sic) world for awhile.

Happy birthday to Sarah Palin! Would a President Palin be better or worse than our President ...

After it gets so unbelievably bad, what difference would it make? ... and Palin's husband,(whatever his name is and who cares?) could skin his moose in the Oval Office.

Happy birthday to Sarah Palin! Would a President Palin be better or worse than our President ...

Diogenes comments on Feb 11, 2019:

But the ultra weird thing is when asked the question, "What is the closest country to the US?" It IS Russia. I thought it would be the Bahamas off Florida. Palin was right. No, I don't think she can see Moscow from her bedroom window!!! LOL. Even the village idiot can get it right once every thousand years.

Life is a journey, not a destination. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Diogenes comments on Feb 10, 2019:

'Existing' is a journey- we have no idea what Nature has provided for us after death- if anything! "Living" is obviously a temporary stage.

You can't take the Trump-thing's twitter-box away; it's attached to him with some weird umbilical cord.

Diogenes comments on Feb 6, 2019:

Is there even the SLIGHTEST doubt that Trump did not write that speech- with all the 'feel good' participants? Is it CERTAIN that he has not found his way? He is not going to go out and hire QUALIFIED people OF ANY COLOUR to work- his only choice will still be that they be CRIMINAL AND WHITE.

I am an Agnostic. I refuse to be an Atheist. I will not argue about the absurdities of gaaauud. Gaauud is fiction.

Donald Duck is a digital image and he has nothing to do with anything avian- just as all the gods have nothing to do with reality.
