There's a pattern of deceit developing out of Bernie HQ

The false claims and deflection of blame over the stolen data

The false claims and deflection of blame over the Nevada Convention unrest

The claim that he still has a path to the nomination


It puts his campaign rhetoric in a new light. Its not just that we can't understand how he is going to accomplish his promises. He knows he can't accomplish them but it doesn't fuckin matter. All rules are off in a revolution after all.

This is the Sander's BoB supporter modus operandi. I guess they think everyone is fooled.

I am breathing a sigh of relief that, with Hillary running way ahead, we are dodging at least one bullet so far.

But more of this and worse than this lies ahead with Trump.

Is it something in the water? I don't remember when I've seen so much pathology in politics before.

Is our cultural soil depleted? We used to grow good people.

Definition
By Mayo Clinic Staff

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. You may be generally unhappy and disappointed when you're not given the special favors or admiration you believe you deserve. Others may not enjoy being around you, and you may find your relationships unfulfilling.

Narcissistic personality disorder treatment is centered around talk therapy (psychotherapy).

For a guy who wanted to run an idealistic campaign, he is way off the rails.

... perceive that a mistake has been made, or, unwilling to do what's necessary to correct the mistake (which would, require actually admitting that a mistake had been made.)

What a mess!
