I had a relative that was a diagnosed narcissist

She has since passed, but the things I learned about narcissism from her still remain.

You must always be careful talking to a narcissist. They are always trying to manipulate the conversation, and before you know it they'll claim you've agreed to something you would never agree to.

Even your silence cannot save you. They manipulate the conversation in such a way that your silence becomes confirmation to some crazy thing they are trying to get you to do.

When a narcissist says I would like to "buy an expensive item someday". You better make sure that "someday" doesn't mean tomorrow.

This is why Trump makes statements like "many countries are interested in helping with the Strait of Hormuz".

Translation: He has had conversations with other leaders who never said yes, but listened with interest.

Always be careful with a narcissist.

I hate the way our "leaders" talk

Lindsey Graham saying "we're going to blow the hell out of these people" referring to Iranians, Hegseth's toxic war rhetoric, Trump's tough guy act, it's all disgusting, and doesn't represent the America I always knew.

An important question about the shooting of Renee Good

According to Noem, ICE had completed one apprehension in the area and were on their way back to headquarters to get ready for the next.

Good was in no way blocking the ICE vehicle to her right. That was the shooter's vehicle and he could have just left.

We know from the videos that a vehicle zipped around her at one point showing that she wasn't completely blocking the street.

The last ICE vehicle that pulled up could have gone around too, but instead they decided to mess with her.

Why didn't these assholes just leave if they were done in that area?

Will there be any public correction of Kristi Noem's lies?

Not only were her lies defamatory, they were violent rhetoric!

Isn't she always complaining about "violent rhetoric"?

Here's her chance to bring down the "rhetoric".

The video from Minneapolis shows how poorly trained ICE is

The shooter puts himself in danger by crossing in front of the vehicle and shoots toward his partner nearly hitting him as well.

Watch the partner jump back from the dangerously close shot.

Trump needs to shut up and leave everyone alone

That includes Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, Panama, Immigrants, Trans People, Democrats, Minneapolis, Washington DC, Comedians, Broadcast networks and everyone else.

Yrump just posted lies about the Minneapolis shooting!

I watched the video and heard Trump's statement. The two do not match. Trump lied!

Damn FOX

They are doing a constant report on the Minneapolis shooting full of just enough speculation and bullshit to get viewers to fill in their own uninformed gaps.
