Pants on fire!

I teach high school Health, and since we've been home, the internet has been a life line. I found an absolute fantastic series called "Crash Course", and feel like I owe Hank here half my paycheck.

Anyhow, posted this one up the other day for my students as "fake people" are a big deal with them. The "pathological liar" starts around the 4:45. At the 7:00 minute mark he absolutely nails it. Bet I know who you'll be thinking about.

Yes, we're all thinking about that same guy, but he appears to be losing both grey matter and white matter at an astonishing clip, plus the Adderal or whatever he uses as a pick me up before his pep rallies is not helping. I do notice that when he's not in front of an adoring crowd in a sports arena, he does make a bit more sense, able to finish a sentence once in a while without going off on some tangent, but honestly, the word salad and flight of ideas are occurring even there and they are as pathological as the lying.

Plus, he's ignorant and completely out of his depth and narcissism renders him incapable of admitting it. Anyone who points it out immediately becomes an enemy.

We're all his enemies now. We won't acknowledge his greatness and thank him for saving millions of lives, we should be thanking him. His very fragile ego will be his end politically speaking. Live and Let Die.
