(134,055 posts)my eye, anyway) jacket she wore during the first chapter of this horror. I don't remember the occasion, but she was wearing something that looked rather like a made-over chenille bathrobe with very colourful large flowers stuck all over it. Rather than a beginner's failed home-ec sewing project, it turned out to be some high-end designer piece with an outrageous price tag. I would not have chosen it on half-off day at the ARC.

(22,883 posts)I might recognize if I saw it, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

(77,868 posts)Can you blame her? If Trump had been a poor kid or black or migrant worker the system would
have swallowed him up. He would have gotten out and done the right thing ( not easy to do @
times) or become a lifer.
After he tried to throw a teacher out a window and beat up a younger boy he needed to be locked
up with some tough C.O.s and told exactly what to do. End of story. The man is a bag of bad.
littlemissmartypants
(34,384 posts)But hes a psychopath. Both of his parents most likely were, too.
There are genetic and societal influences in APD. I know this for a fact. I've studied and seen too much.
He may have eventually "become a lifer" but psychopaths are slick and can appear likeable. There's plenty of evidence of that in his case.
I understand your point but I strongly disagree with the notion that, "He would have gotten out and done the right thing..." because that is an absolute impossible task for the psychopath.
They just aren't capable of that under any circumstances.
It's confounding and jaw dropping when that realization hits. It is just not safe for anyone else to be around them and that includes other psychopaths.
Plus, of all of the disorders APD is the least likely to be remedied by any type of therapy.
They just can't change.
They are extremely dangerous.
So though I agree with you generally, I have to respectfully disagree on the finer points.
But I deeply appreciate your replies, Botany. Thank you.

Treatment for amphetamine withdrawal
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7138250/
Snip...
The DSM‐IV‐TR criteria for diagnosing amphetamine withdrawal include dysphoric mood and two or more symptoms: fatigue, vivid or unpleasant dreams, insomnia or hypersomnia, increased appetite and psychomotor agitation or retardation that occur following discontinuation of the drug (DSM‐IV‐TR 2000).
Snip...
The severity of withdrawal symptoms is greater in amphetamine dependent individuals who are older and who have more extensive amphetamine use disorders (McGregor 2005).
Snip...
GoCubsGo
(35,006 posts)Like crushed Adderall, and crushed Sudafed--which is a precursor to meth. He and his BFFE, Jeffery, were a big part of the NYC club scene in the 1980s and 1990s, when cocaine use was rampant., and I suspect he never stopped using it. But, I agree that this episode does fit a crash due to him having to sit there for hours, without a booster hit. I just think he's the one in control of his drug use, not doctors or others. He's also old and on a hard fade. There's probably some sun-downing going on, too.
littlemissmartypants
(34,384 posts)He might think that he's in control. But he's closer to a rabid animal. If only he truly had rabies and refused the vaccine. That's a notion that I would wholeheartedly agree with.

(6,594 posts)As Trump neared the coffin, accompanied by his wife Melania, onlookers identified what they considered a significant gaffe. Mourners were invited to pay their respects to Pope Francis with a moment at his coffin.
An individual expressed their dismay online, writing: "Trump and Melania - the only two stepping over the rug where Pope Francis coffin sits when paying respect, jeeeezzz!"
Someone else chimed in on the matter, adding: "OK, so I'm not the only person who noticed Trump and Melania stepping on the rug. I'm sure they were given instructions to stay off the rug. But, nooooo!"
In contrast, figures like Prince William and Prime Minister Keir Starmer kept clear of the rug. According to The Art Newspaper, attendees should refrain from treading on the carpet directly under the Pope's coffin.
The carpet holds significant meaning, symbolizing holy ground and marking a sanctified space. It sets the Pope apart from others, with art from the era often featuring carpets to denote sacred areas.

As for his nap
.have none of you ever had jet lag? Chances are he was up for most of the journey to Rome, even though he could have slept on board AF1. Then overnight in Rome, he was not bothering to rest, even though he knew he had a day of ceremonies coming up soon. Probably too busy on social media. The jet lag will clobber you wherever you sit or stand. If you sit still for even a few minutes, you will nod off. He was sitting still in the warm sunshine. Boom, nap time. I suspect it was jet lag made worse by his bad sleep habits. Plus hes nearly 79 years old. 😂😂😂

(442 posts)Of course, he wanted to be front and center as everything he does is for show. But seriously, the Catholic Church has the power to stand up to him as he wouldnt want to piss off Catholic voters if it was known that he bullied the church. If protocol said he was in the third row, they have their valid reason. So many countries and apparently this Church just let him get away with the bullying. And even letting scumbag Vance in to get his photo op when the Pope was in the verge of death was disappointing. Say No to the evil regime!!
ShazzieB
(22,883 posts)The Vatican abandoned convention and protocol to pander to the vanity of Trump, who was one of the few people at the funeral not to wear black.
President Donald Trump, wearing a blue suit in a sea of black, was seated in a prized front-row seat for the funeral of Pope Francis.
The seating location will likely be a source of great satisfaction for the famously thin-skinned president, who mercilessly mocked Joe Biden after he was seated in the 14th row at Queen Elizabeths funeral in 2022.
Based on precedent, Trump was expected to have been seated in the third row, behind anointed monarchs. In the end, however, he and Melania were seated in the front row, along with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, whose appearance triggered a spontaneous outburst of applause from the assembled crowds.
More at the link.
What do wou want to bet Schlump will claim that applause was for him?

The first photo is obviously over-saturated, maybe even on purpose. We've seen this before so many times, and yet some still fall for it. In other professional photos, the suit he is wearing is most certainly blue, but it is a dark suit as requested. I also saw others in attendance wearing blue suits of the same shade. Even President Biden wore a blue tie.
We really should be more selective about what we believe.
