I have never seen so many rich entitled people who probably have pretty much everything they want in life be so jealous, petty, and angry. It’s psychopathic to me. But they’re paying attention because MTN is doing something awesome!!!! Such HATERS they are🤣

Like Trump and Musk, they think they are better than others but they are really insecure psychopaths.

Musk and wife Donna are both narcissitic personality disorder bum-fc@k buddies. Attention and adulation is what they are addicted to. President Musk paid millions for the attention he now gets.....

These NARCs could not care less about the millions of true voters that will suffer from not being paid during this clown show shutdown.

A horrific text book case of Narcissim is about to unfold.......

Not enough people heeded the warnings from the last few years.........the next 4 years........musk oil/orange insanity

That is why people with these types of disorders should never be allowed into positions that affect the lives of others. Psychological tests must be administered to anyone wanting to hold office.

That's why they need the money. It's the only way they can feel a semblance of validation for their miserable, self-centered lives.

BINGO! This could be why so many wealthy men and women are disordered, with a few noted exceptions. They can also force people who do not want to deal with their nasty selves to do so via job creation or proximity to social networks like pageants, news outlets, etc.

They're living proof that money can't buy happiness. Or respect. Especially greasy Murdoch money. All that gets you is tawdry status symbol crap and disdain from decent people. It can't fill that gaping black void where a heart and soul are supposed be. And it can't get rid of a mother's disappointment in you. That's what really eats at Jesse.

I just had to finally look up the background of this asshat Jesse Watters whom I despise. Look at his Wikipedia. This is not someone who grew up poor and hungry. He is privileged. He comes from a Democratic highly accomplished well to do and LOVING, supportive family . His mother is a child psychologist and his ancestors were publishers, doctors, lawyers, politicians even Dem assoc Supreme Court Justices in Kansas and Colorado. In a 2019 article in The Atlantic his mother saw his politics change in college (where Tucker Carlson also went). He has been at Fox since he was in his 20s starting with Bill O'Reilly. That's all I had to hear. That's where his "gaping black void" -(love that description)came from. He is sexist, racist, and a misogynst and cruel. That's the culture of Fox--from the top down. Murdoch-Ailes-O'Reilly-Tucker-Hannity, et al. He did not come from a greedy, disgusting dysfunctional family like Trump.

I couldn't love it more that Anne Watters is a Meidas Mighty!!! I'm kvelling!. Sigmund Freud couldn't help JW at this point he is so fucking brainwashed and pathetic. I'm sure it hurts his mother. Even Moms of serial killers love their kids.

There are plenty of incredibly rich people who are decent, charitable, pay their taxes and are humble. It's what you DO with the money when you have it. You either become a force for good or you become the Mango Mussolini or one of the most evil James Bond villains that even Ian Fleming himself could not have dreamed up... Elon Musk . "Drunk with power" as my late father used to say. Watch out Donald. Be careful what you wish for. You let the Trojan horse in. Elon is going to destroy you and take the rest of us with him. Musk is the most dangerous man alive.

It's really sad the way he turned out - by choice - because he was raised to be better than this. But from the time he first started getting attention as Bill O'Reilly's aging frat boy side kick, something went horribly wrong. He found out he would be rewarded for behavior decent people find repugnant, and the rest is history. I feel awful for his mom. It can't be easy knowing millions of people see her son as the nasty, cackling MAGA clown he's become. But all of this was his choice. He chose to put money and celebrity where his heart and soul should be. No wonder he's an empty vessel that can never be filled.

Robin D's avatar

Totally agree. If you've never seen his Wikipedia page I encourage you to look it up. Eye opener to his character.

Here's a gift article from.The Atlantic 2019 article. First time I'm doing this and hope it works!

https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2019/11/jesse-watters-the-five-mom-texts/602614/?gift=2mrzkf8fEun-lSo80hf3LoKNO1lyBXocnFHrjk8pIXk&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

She said It was college where he changed. This is a text she sent him that he read on air during one of Trump's impeachment hearings. "Please be assured that despite your WRETCHED political orientation I love you forever!” Now it's 6 years later and we are in Nazi Germany and her son is one of those MAGAs who got us here. I'm old enough to be his Mom. I would be heartbroken.

Robin D's avatar

Like I said I really knew nothing about him until today except that he is buffoon and a major asshole and totally despicable.. 'I'm not a mom, but if I was, and was a child psychologist to boot, there have to be times she lays in bed.at night with her husband and wonders what they did wrong. it's sounded like he needed a lot more tough love rather than "hated what you wrote tonight but love you to pieces honey bunny" But good for her for not inviting him to Thanksgiving. I'm sure most people were dreading him anyway. There's an expression from.William.Shakespeare's King Lear " Sharper than a serpents tooth is an ungrateful child". How true. How painful.

Alicia Norman's avatar

That is becasue all their money and power is to compensate for something they lack--a conscience and a soul. They see so many people with next to nothing who are happy and can't fathom it. They don't get that no matter how much money they have; they can never be satisfied because they are walking black holes of darkness.

And, they're miserable with having so much money but no real power and control over other people, (which they'll not ever have because that's not how life truly works; you know, what with free will and all). They're also the same people that don't want others telling them what to do.

Ignoring bullies, walking away and going “no contact” also deprives narcissists and sociopaths of their “source.” If they can get a reaction from us, positive or negative, it still feeds their empty bottomless pits where their souls should be. I don’t watch the MSM news for this reason and turn off the radio when I hear the orange blob’s voice.

With narcissists, ignoring is best, for one's sanity. However, with these news media mega millionaire types, mocking is a very good approach. All narcissists hate being mocked because their egos can't handle the truth. The mocking pretty much sums up who they are and they hate it. JMO

It was a really good interview. You have great interview skills as well! Super relaxed, down to earth, straightforward questions w/o being in one’s face or gotcha games. It felt like sitting in a living room, curled up on a couch, a relaxed and comfortable conversation. AND YET YOU WERE IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH THE MOST (positively!) CONSEQUENTIAL PRESIDENT SINCE FDR!!! —> 💯 A+++++‼️

(No wonder JW’s mom likes you better than her own kid! Well, duh!!! 😂🤣😆‼️)

Agree! That’s another great Biden trait. He works for the people, he genuinely cares. And he listens! And Ben listened too, didn’t lay in wait for a gotcha moment, didn’t ignore or focus instead on the next question. Imagine that! Two people visiting and actually listening to one another! Ahhh, the lost art of real conversation!

😂😂😂 he's jealous that another man 👨 got his mother's attention. You guys Ben, Brett, and Jordy are her new sons. And so that makes him seethe with jealousy. I'm sure not being invited for Thanksgiving to his mother's house stings him badly till this day. Lol.. He has no morals. Perhaps when he finds it , he and his mother can resume having a relationship.

He sold his soul to climb the ladder at fox. He wants adulation for his “accomplishment”. His mom is like his conscience. She is not willing to praise him for what she knows is wrong. So no matter how far up that ladder Jesse goes, he understands that there are people who know his fame is built on BS. So many of us have family splits. So many of us see what fox has done to this country. without fox, 45 and his shallow friends would never have won over so many people. - sending a big hug to Jesse’s mom. I heard her speak to Jesse when he was first hired and was very impressed with her integrity and diplomacy. She’s a class act and on the right side of history.
