There are reasons, I'd bet, why you're not... You're a grown man with a life.

If you were otherwise stuck in Trump's 15-year-old-groundhog-day existence, you might be like him... tweeting like a budgie.

Well said.

I still can't understand why grown men & women are on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

They may be chronologically grown men & women; psychologically they're stuck in their mid-teens.

a very smart ploy to sucker the twitter crowd into to and fro

whilst when he is communicating with the electorate its all

we are magnificent, these people are awesome, our awesome veterans, nothing but pure positive energy

a masterful stroke...worth studying

Dear Aqua,
why would they want to kill a genius - why?

https://www.bitchute.com/video/3QXuh2t5tKsv

as good as daniels donuts

Yes - excellent:

Why would a nice guy like you wanna kill a genius?...
Do you know that the man really likes you? He likes you. He really likes you.
But he's got something in mind for you.
Aren't you curious about that?...
There's something happening out here, man....
I know something that you don't know.
That's right, Jack. The man is clear in his mind, but his soul is mad.
Oh, yeah. He's dying, I think. He hates all of this.
He hates it, but the man's, uh. He reads poetry outloud, all right?...
He likes you 'cause you're still alive.
He's got plans for you. No, no, I'm not gonna help you.
You're gonna help him, man...
I mean, what are they gonna say, man, when he's gone, huh?
'Cause he dies when it dies, man. When it dies, he dies.
What are they gonna say about him?
What are they gonna say?
He was a kind man? He was a wise man? He had plans? He had wisdom?
Bulls--t, man! Am I gonna be the one that's gonna set them straight?
Look at me. Wrong! - you.

We don't need two gweggy turds.

It is moronic to draw a parallel between Trump and Jonah Takalua. Moronic. Why do you do it?

Hmm, I don't know.

Jonah has attended three schools over the past 18 months. He was expelled from the two previous schools he attended for setting fire to a student's locker and defacing the Principal's car by spray-painting a penis on it. He was also expelled in year 8 for threatening violence and other inappropriate behavior towards his English teacher.

Jonah has serious academic struggles. He attends a remedial reading course at "Gumnut Cottage" with teacher Jan Palmer, the only teacher he apparently likes.

Jonah "lives for breakdancing" and wants to do it professionally when he gets older. Jonah claims he is one of the best breakdancers in the school, while his friend Leon Pulami claims Jonah is the best breaker in the suburb. Despite their claims, the breakdancing ability of Jonah and his friends appears to be at a beginner level.

Sounds awfully familiar, if we replace "breakdancing" with "negotiating" or "running a business".

when the very successful steve jobs was asked what he thought about his competitor microsoft
he replied

"i dont think about them, i dont talk about them, our shareholders want to see us focus on our own strategies"

a good lesson for the left

trump said as much today

in a speech , he said something like
'is joe still running, i'm not sure, i havent been paying attention, i'm sure they'll come up with someone if he doesnt "
he said it like he didnt have a care in the world

trump understands that if he was to 'react" to biden, he is handing over his power to biden.
hence he never does

in any human interaction, when you are in a 'reactive " state, you are giving away your power,

Joe saying trump has the morals of an ally cat in the debate, is actually handing trump power.

the left just dont understand social dynamics

a leftie candidate needs to ignore trump and stop reacting to him

its understandable that dumb chodes like pecca and fisk and smith are in a reactive state
but its inexcusable that the heads of the democratic party are in a reactive state

it makes them so low status and it makes thm look like little bitches to a dominant trump
it weakens them

until they come out with a candidate who can just say "donald who?" and then get on with being a star, they are sunk

if you want to look up the core themes of the left you could start with

limiting beliefs
self sabotage
success barriers

this is business training level 1.0

it reflects the fact that they would all be hopeless at business and certainly hopeless as leaders

I know, right? He said that for the first five minutes, then spent the next hour riffing on butthurt victim WITCH HUNT, SO UNFAIR !!!

At least the "noble Ron" got to have a word at the same conference. He's your man, no?

What did he have to say, dear? Anything about the big fella? How about Sleepy Joe?

Were you paying attention?

Except it ain't true.

Trump is obsessively hyper-fixated on any competitor / challenger / critic real or imagined.

He once sued Bill Maher who, in a comedy bit, questioned whether Trump, due to his orange hair, was the son of an orang-u-tan.

sure but he hid it well

Thee you go, Meister. Aquascoot concurs.

You?

i believe trump has narcissistic behavioural disorder and is psychopathic.
he likes to be cruel to people.

i see the same tendencies in you fisk and certainly in gweggy

i see them in most of the journos of the leftie mainstream media

i certainly see them in the mobs (mainly lefties ) who try to cancel some uni professor or JK rowling for expressing her opinion

i definitely saw them in kevin rudd

i also saw them in dan andrews and the qld premier during lockdowns when people were unable to attend the funeral of a parent or the birth of a child

cruel narcissistic pychopathic.

the funny thing is i dont see them in Joe rogan or Tony abbott or John Anderson or Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro or most of those on the right.

i believe there is such a thing as a noble conservative...ron de santis is one. pete dutton is another . tony abnott another , john howard another

perhaps on the left despite his faults, bernie sanders is a noble socialist. maybe even gough

what is facinating about trump is

1 his energy
2 his total refusal to ever back down
3 his ability to just not give a smack about what he says.

a true psychopath usually is very cunning
trumpy is not really cunning

what you see is what you get

its probably why people like him
because that is at least authentic

people like newsum and hilary and pelosi share all his bad features but put on the fake veil of being nice people

no one buys it

there is this sort of yuk factor about them

That mindset has driven him to slavishly pursue bromances with the likes of Putin, Kim Jong Un and Viktor Orban of Hungary.- although less so with Xi Jinping.
