I came across a piece on Alternet this a.m. that is both informative...and more than a little alarming. Here's the link to it: https://www.alternet.org/2020/10/heres-what-psychologists-say-about-trumps-overly-large-narcissistic-signature/ The handwriting expert mentioned, Felix Klein, more properly referred to as a 'graphologist', looked at the Idiot's handwriting in about 1988, without knowing who the writer was, and his conclusions--as you will read in the article--are about what we'd expect. Yes, we know he's a 'malignant narcissist, and a sociopath...and blah, blah. We have known all along that he's a sick puppy with serious mental deficiencies. But, when I read the linked piece, I was still shocked.
The statement that really sent chills down my spine was this: "I've probably examined well over 200,000 handwriting samples over more than 60 years, and Trump's writing is one of the worst I've ever seen. In fact, the only writing that comes to mind that is as bad is Charles Manson's."
I knew it was bad, but I really didn't think of it in such stark terms. Read the article and you will understand the cause of my alarm...and that is not too strong a term for how I feel about knowing that this man is beyond merely 'ill' and is way down the rabbit-hole of 'seriously fucked-up'.....but, especially pay attention to Felix Klein's emphasis on just how DANGEROUS the man is.

So, we have a week left before the election finally culminates...or, at least, until the great struggle begins to prove that either candidate got the most legitimate votes. The Idiot has been proclaiming since way before the election was even happening that the only way he could lose is if the Dems are able to pull off a massive fraud. This has been the first stage of a plan in his feverish brain to completely de-legitimize the vote and have SCOTUS hand him another term in office. We have watched him preparing the ground-work for this and he is already trying to put the plan in motion. Within hours of swearing in, his new super-conservative justice, Barrett, the court is already busy throwing out measures in various states that would ensure a fair vote...and an honest and fair opportunity to even vote at all.
We have seen this coming, and, God willing, the lawyers and other Dem operatives can make some headway against this attack on our constitutional right to vote.....and be heard. It has been apparent for decades that the current iteration of the GOP is morally bankrupt. That is not a statement I make lightly, either. They have shown again and again that McConnell et al, are perfectly willing to ignore the laws and long established conventions that have guided congress for so many generations. Moscow Mitch and his cronies do not give a fig about such 'niceties' as the law. They want to have complete control of the government and the freedom to re-shape it in the ultra-conservative manner that the oligarchs prefer, i.e. few, if any regulations on how they conduct their finances, minimal taxes, if any, freedom to ride rough-shod over any laws that protect people and the environment, and a system that continues to support a massive flow of wealth to the very few at the top....all the while stripping away any and all safety nets that keep millions of poor and working poor people from starvation and homelessness, not to mention, Social Security and Medicare...which will be dismantled under the guise of financial necessity. So much for 'the golden years', eh.
The Idiot has amply demostrated that he has no regard for the elderly people of America, once having said that the Covid statistics would be more accurate and a lot 'better' if we just didn't count all the old folks who would be dying anyway...well, sooner than later, in his opinion.
In their dystopian view of the future, the little people will not fare well. The amount of suffering and pain inflicted on them will be unimaginable...but, for the Idiot, McConnell et al, that is of little consequence. When you have no ability to feel empathy or compassion, it's so much easier to pillage and plunder.
