Psychos on the Potomac
By Maureen Dowd

A new study from Southern Methodist University says Washington has more psychopaths per capita than anyplace else in the country. No surprise there.

Psychopathy is defined in the study as a “Temperamental and Uninhibited Region.” Which is the perfect description of the Trump reality distortion field where we all now dwell.
...



For the entire article: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/16/o...e-potomac.html


Really, "uninhibited" is a perfect word for Trump. All the inhibitions that most people have - most of us are taught to abide by some minimal level of courtesy and to think things through a little - are absent with him. Trump, instead, feels free to insult everyone, to perpetrate fraud, to grab crotches, etc.

In other words, we have a feral president.

{SNIP the fluff}.



Cannibals are much like the Marxist Liberals. They are both forced to live off each other.

Psychos?
I don't care. Confirm Kavanaugh, forge ahead nominating more conservative justices, straighten the trade imbalance, support police officers and military, support 2nd amendment, build The Wall and I wouldn't care if he had sex with gerbils.
That "lyin'-ass orange buffoon" is the best person we've had in The White House in years.
MAGA

I tried reading the actual study from SMU.

My brain rejected it.

When I first read the title, I assumed the thread would be about Trump.

SMU, not exactly a "liberal elite" school. It's a good school, just not "liberal". I live not even 10 miles from the campus. Bohemian-artsy is the last think you'd call it. I saw many more hipsters when I was in Memphis!!!


Jumping to the last paragraph. His being uninhibited in how crudely he treats his opponents alone should clue people in about how sleazy he was in other areas of life. Anyone that blatantly lacking in empathy and that prone to dehumanizing others is practically assured to be that way in their work practices - Trump U being the most blatant pre-POTUS example.
