"And then they come over to try to perform some kind of medical aid by ripping his clothes open with scissors, and then maneuvering his body around like a ragdoll, only to discover that it could be because they wanted to count the bullet wounds, to see how many they got. Like he’s a deer.”


"They were looking at us and laughing!"

She is very brave to do this interview and thank you Anderson Cooper.

Someone needs to find/expose the murders who killed Alex and arrest them immediately.

These are Trump's paid assassins. There is no "kindness and compassion" in their minds. They've been given a license to kill, and kill they will. Without fear of retribution or accountability. They are Trump's Gestapo.

We expect ICE to be awful but to witness the MPDs solidarity with these thugs is heartbreaking.

It's not a few bad apples, it's a veritable pile

Will ever be the same after seeing these murders.

After hearing the heart-wrenching testimony of those who witnessed it so closely.

Seeing a government with which we have lived all our lives turn on us and kill us.

It's documented in my post here:
https://democraticunderground.com/100220958226

Characteristics of Psychopaths

1. Aggressive, callous, and cunning
2. Complete absence of conscience and empathy
3. Very adept at manipulating others
4. Willingness to engage in immoral, criminal conduct
5. Willingness to take what they want and do as they please, regardless of who is hurt or wronged
6. Deceptive ability to appear outwardly benevolent
7. Deceptive ability to behave in superficially charming ways to hide purely selfish motives
8. Willingness to use intimidation and violence to control others in order to satisfy their own needs
9. Willingness to intentionally violate the basic inherent human rights of others
10. Complete absence of any sense of guilt or remorse for the harm their actions have caused to others
11. Rationalization of their own immoral behavior
12. Will attempt to lay blame upon someone else for their own conduct
13. Denial, will deny their own wrongdoing outright
14. Utter contemptuousness toward the feelings and desires of their fellow beings
15. Pathological lying, will say anything without any concern for truth to advance their own hidden agendas
16. Ablity to feign [fake] normal human emotions and empathy
17. Distorted sense of the consequences of their actions
18. Total failure to accept any responsibility for their own socially irresponsible ways
19. Strong bellef that they will never be brought to justice for their criminal behavior

be bothered to vote as long as they get their hamberders and sportsball and about one third voted for Trump, I think that only a little over one quarter are actually authoritarians. Polls usually show Trump with about an 80% approval rating among Republicans on various policies. I think that the remaining 20% of Republicans are not actually authoritarians but are simply OK with authoritarianism if that is what keeps them in charge.
