    Another one for the golf course.

    "He has no principles. None. None,” she said of Trump

    Glad she at least was human.

      So sister and niece both know he’s a terrible person. If only his gullible followers could see…

        They’re both women, therefore his followers don’t give a shit what they say. They’d rather the women not speak

      She said that on a taped conversation in private. The article said that she was a critic of his, but I’m not sure that she was a public critic of his.

      The point being, it’s not like Donald Trump doesn’t know that he’s done things that were wrong. For example, he knows it’s wrong to try to steal an election, because he’s constantly accusing other people of doing it. But he does know the truth, that it was he who was doing those things.

      A person shouldn’t be lauded for privately knowing there is a problem, but never doing anything about it.

        Here’s the thing I keep hammering about Trump; He’s eat up with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. That doesn’t mean “narcissist” in the way people have been slinging the word around for a decade+. It’s a real diagnosis with a real meaning.

        If you’ve ever been close to someone with NPD, you realize that they literally have no sense of personal culpability. They are literally unable to process an idea that says “you are wrong”.

        Trump isn’t purposefully hiding his “wrongness” from us, he can’t know he’s wrong. His brain can’t imagine such a thing.
        The “stolen” election for example; He did realize for a minute that he was beaten, plenty of evidence of what was said in that brief timespan. So we normal folks say, “Ah ha! Told you he was a liar!”

        But his brain reworked the thing, because being beaten, “wrong” to his mind, is not possible.

        You could hardly torture a confession out of the man, because to his mind, he has nothing to confess. His behavior is far more terrifying once you truly internalize that.

        Now add the beginnings of dementia to his extreme case of NPD. He’s basically a religious fanatic, and he’s his own god.

        I don’t know anything about her other than what this article says. Lauded is a huge stretch.

      Half-human, at best. She resigned her position as a federal judge after it was revealed she also committed tax fraud after their father passed.

          Was it shame, or were there worse things waiting for her if sure didn’t resign?

            Worse like what, trying to overthrow the government?

            Or accepting lavish vacation packages from billionaires?

          didn’t she resign cause she got caught, and likely was given no actual choice? Like “resign or be disbarred” or whatever the equivalent would be?

      More than we can say for even a single person in this entire comment thread, apparently.

      A man’s sister dies. What do you do?

      “Uh it depends is he my political enemy?”

        None of the Trump family are going to see this, and they’re a bunch of rich fucks who have exploited people all their lives. They don’t get pity. I wouldn’t shove it in their face, but they won’t see this so it doesn’t matter.
