Trump's Final Hours in Office Were Consumed With Fury at Snoop Dogg

I thought more game show than reality, like survivor. Apparently the genre is "reality competition"

Can't the Venn diagram overlap?

Game show is more accurate, given he's not a real businessman.

Aw man

I can't always manage it, like when I think about what he wants to do to my whole family for existing differently in a way his base has been told to be angry about, but sometimes I do manage a sense of sorrow for the fact that he's spent his entire life like that, trapped in himself.

That would probably be better for the rest of us, and more likely, but it's still a sad outcome compared to him recovering from the sickness he's suffered from his whole life.

More likely "his anger would consume him and his entire body and he ends up all shriveled up like" Palpatine and he tries to take over the galaxy.

Yeah, it's tragic for anyone in that situation. It also sucks extra hard that he's become our collective tragedy, but the universe is like that sometimes.

I understand where you're coming from and it's refreshing seeing someone have the empathy you do for people suffering with NPD. Having any type of mental illness though isn't an excuse or good enough reason to treat people the way he does, or to damage or harm others like a lot of NPDs do. It's unfortunate their mental illness can screw up and damage the lives of so many other people around them. I find it difficult to sympathize with them.

This is a perfect example of the Just World Fallacy in action.

Just because you think he ought to be unhappy it doesn't mean he is.

Yup. It used to be a much smaller set, but then as a country we put him in office.

On reflection, that has turned out to be a poor decision on America's part. I hope we continue to do better.

Angola?

It really is both saddening and enlightening. I still struggle with some of these problems, but the awareness has done wonders for my life. Actual effective threat assessment is like a superpower.

I want that for instrumental reasons like, "I'd really like it if I didn't have to worry about my family being herded into camps because "Joe Biden was just too old" or something," but yeah. It would be really good if people would get better about recognizing what he is and what it is he's selling them, like a cut rate Leland Gaunt.

I’d like him to be him with external consequences to his actions. Plenty of people are miserable by their own making. That fact is the core principle of a major religion even.

That said, yeah he deserves the misery he brings himself. His inability to enjoy what he has and those around him is pathetic. A power, prestige, and conflict addict suffering because he can’t accept what he is.

He does, and that doesn't help, yes. The kind of person he is, is a kind of finger trap: the harder he tries to be cool, respected, etc, the more he steps on rakes, and the more rakes he steps on, the more he needs those things, so he tries, and steps on more rakes.

Snoop wrote a song dissing him, talked shit about him for years, then worked him over and got him to pardon a bunch of dudes. Snoop's not dumb, he knows he played him and won, and that, for the sake of his friend that could possibly have his pardon revoked if the world's biggest narcissist gets a second term, needs to play it cool.

Or, he literally is ok with dropping his beef now that the asshat is out of office, like an adult.

Obviously!

I'm 5'10". Trump is still taller than me. 😕
