The way that MSNBC hired ex-RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel proves beyond doubt that MSNBC has its own psychopaths at its helm.

racocn8 comments on Mar 16, 2024:

Trump is still running and still getting the benefit of doubt at every turn, even though anyone not a psychotic MAGA knows he's guilty of a litany of crimes and wrongdoing. Where a judge insists on knee-capping Willis because of 'appearances', the whole Trump Campaign to End America gets a pass, because MAGA's might get upset. The MSM is still pulling its punches while FOX goes completely berserk. MSM does this for the lofty purpose of making more money if the election is an even horse-race. Even if Trump isn't re-elected, our culture is so poisoned by allowing this charade that hopes of survival for Humanity have been shredded. The world rightfully regards the US as an unstable and unfunny joke. You simply cannot have a functioning country when half of it works diligently for its end. Christian fascism isn't just an existential threat; it's our epitaph.

He dismissed Covid as just a cold or flu, and when supplies were ordered, they were confiscated and diverted for resale. He can rightly be said to have killed a million Americans by making Covid much, much worse. (Then he took credit for the vaccines whose development had nothing to do with him.)

racocn8 comments on Mar 13, 2024:

One of the hardest problems to face is the complicity of people who protect sexual predators. In one case, a father had abused his daughter from an early age including rape and deployed all the elements of Trauma Bonding. The mother and sisters hung back as it happened in plain sight. How does that happen? Then the abused daughter wants to retain relationships because of the bonding, and won't even protect herself against further abuse. The sickness of it all defies description much less imagination. People with Power. The narcissism enables the worst sort of psychopathic behavior, even in people who are otherwise respected. It's horrible. Jordan is a straight up traitor to boot, and the traitor Garland stands by and does nothing about these miscreants. This is one fucked up society.

What is Project 2025? Trump Shadow Network Plans to Overhaul 'Deep State' -- Newsweek

racocn8 comments on Mar 11, 2024:

More projection. The sad reality is that the deep state is already over-run with "conservative" partisans who have loyalty to Putin and his oligarchs (including Trump) far ahead of the US, much less conservative values. After Jan 6, it was incumbent on Biden to root out these traitors, but for some strange reason, they've all been given a pass. The Flynn brothers are still free as well as other stooges that set up Jan 6. Stone is free as is Bannon and Ginni Thomas. The DOJ and the Judiciary have slow walked the prosecution of everyone except the worst of the Jan 6 Magas, and they only got slaps on the wrist. All the traitors in Congress have gone on with their lives with no consequences at all. Mostly the same for all the fake electors. The deep state DOES need a thorough house-cleaning, but the fix is in, apparently.

I was accepted to a UP immunology graduate program being told over the phone that I would receive tuition and a stipend. After driving across the country, I registered with the administration. Only then did they admit that it was not a stipend, but a loan. The conditions were that no repayment would be required if I stayed with the program for 3 years and completed it. After a year and a half, I got blackballed by a sociopathic professor and was then on the hook to pay everything back. Amazingly, Ted Kennedy passed legislation that loosened the terms of such "loans" so that 'related' activity (working for an industrial hygiene company) could be counted as payback. I was very grateful not to have the injustice of academic abuse be compounded by their fraud.
