Except for like the promise that he would release all of his convicted Jan. 6th fanatical brownshirts like Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio to wreak havoc on those who would be our protectors.
But even then he said that he would go on a Case by case basis and not everyone would be released and what did he do? He just did a blanket pardon full pardon for all of them even the ones that beat up police put them in the hospital gouge them hit them with baseball bats and flag poles. He needs his personal Army out to do his bidding. That's all that amounts to

The article discusses the lie Trump propagated about ending the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. This reflects his complete disregard for reality, his manipulative tactics, and his sociopathic tendencies. His repeated promises to resolve the Ukraine conflict quickly are a classic example of a narcissistic leader who values control and dominance over human lives and geopolitical stability. The lack of follow-throughтАФdespite the claims that he would easily solve the conflictтАФdemonstrates the utter emptiness behind his words.
Trump's Sociopathic Nature:
Psychiatric Analysis: TrumpтАЩs inability to follow through on his promises, such as ending the war in Ukraine, reflects his pathological narcissism and grandiosity. Sociopaths often present themselves as all-knowing and superior but fail to live up to their claims because they lack the ability to engage in realistic problem-solving. They operate on a sense of entitlement, assuming others will bend to their will based on charm and manipulation. Trump's comment about knowing "all the players" and how he'd "get them in the room" is a clear indication of his disconnected understanding of geopolitics and unchecked ego.
Psychological Behavior: Trump's disregard for the lives lost in Ukraine, despite his empty promises to resolve the situation, suggests a lack of empathyтАФa core trait of sociopaths. His focus on self-interest and self-aggrandizement, with no regard for the consequences of his decisions on real people, reveals the extent of his moral bankruptcy. The refusal to help after abandoning the Kurds, the Afghan withdrawal, and his inability to help Afghan refugees shows a pattern of negligence that endangers vulnerable populations for political expediency.
Manipulation Tactics: Trump's use of emotional manipulationтАФby promising to end wars and solve global crises in record timeтАФpreys on the public's emotional state and desperation for leadership. This tactic is often used by fascists and authoritarian figures, who understand that repetition of lies, even blatant ones, can eventually sway public opinion and suppress critical thinking. This is classic fascist propaganda: The emotional pull of the "strongman" who claims to have the answers but is incapable of fulfilling those promises.
Putin's Influence and Trump's Allegiance:
Trump's admiration for Putin and his refusal to oppose him in any meaningful way reveals a deep moral conflict. TrumpтАЩs alignment with Putin, despite RussiaтАЩs autocratic policies and aggression, underscores his alignment with authoritarian regimes. This is not about America's interestsтАФitтАЩs about Trump's ego and his desire to associate with powerful figures, regardless of the human cost.
Trump's policies, especially in terms of foreign diplomacy, often reflect a narrow, self-serving agenda, rather than a strategy that serves the people of the United States. His inability to act against Russia or help Ukraine demonstrates his complicity in furthering global instability.
The Manson Family Comparison:
The comparison to the Manson Family is apt. Just as Charles Manson used manipulation and psychological control to coerce individuals into committing horrific acts, Trump uses rhetoric and emotional appeals to rally his supporters to support his dangerous, self-serving policies. Both exhibit an all-consuming egotism that prioritizes personal power over the well-being of others. The dangerous influence of a leader like Trump is amplified by his sociopathic tendencies and lack of empathy, which makes him prone to dangerous, ill-informed decisions that affect entire nations.
Books on Fascism, Propaganda, and Psychological Manipulation:
To better understand how fascism, propaganda, and psychological manipulation workтАФespecially in the context of Trump's presidencyтАФhere are some critical books and sources:
"The Authoritarian Personality" by Theodor W. Adorno
Examines the psychology of authoritarianism and how such figures exploit people's vulnerabilities for control.
"The Origins of Totalitarianism" by Hannah Arendt
ArendtтАЩs exploration of totalitarianism gives a clear framework for understanding how movements like Trump's grow and take power.
"The Road to Serfdom" by Friedrich Hayek
A foundational text on the dangers of centralizing power and the resulting loss of freedom.
"The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer
Explores the psychology behind mass movements, which is crucial in understanding the manipulative tactics used by authoritarian leaders like Trump.
"Fascism: A Warning" by Madeleine Albright
Analyzes the rise of fascism in the 20th century and its eerie parallels to modern-day political movements.
"The Psychopath Test" by Jon Ronson
Examines psychopathy and its influence on behavior, especially in high-profile individuals.
"Discipline and Punish" by Michel Foucault
Explores the dynamics of power, surveillance, and control, central to understanding how authoritarian systems maintain their grip.
"The Fear of the Other" by William T. Cavanaugh
Explores the role of fear and the construction of "the other" in authoritarian rhetoric.
"Manufacturing Consent" by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky
Analyzes how mass media and propaganda are used to shape public opinion, often in favor of powerful elites.
"The Authoritarian Syndrome" by Karen Stenner
Explores the psychological underpinnings of people who support authoritarian regimes, and how these personalities contribute to authoritarian policies.
Conclusion:
What Trump has done with Ukraine is a clear example of manipulative propaganda used to generate emotional responses from the public. His promises to end the conflict within 24 hours are unsubstantiated and represent an ego-driven approach to international relations. The sociopathic behaviors he displays are dangerous, and his alignment with authoritarian figures like Putin only reinforces the parallels to fascist regimes that exploit fear, misinformation, and psychological manipulation to seize control.
If we are to combat fascism and authoritarianism, we need to approach the situation with critical thinking, intellectual rigor, and a deep understanding of psychological manipulation and propaganda. The intellectual resources and scholarship provided above will help us understand and confront the dangerous trajectory we are on.
He pardoned the guy because he's somehow going to use his hacking abilities for his benefit. He doesn't do anything positive so to speak for anybody unless there's a gain in it for him somewhere. I'm unaware of the six deaths he was responsible for but once again that may be a talent that the Cheeto can put to use for his own benefit somewhere down the line.
Wait a minute...a gnat on a shelf lasts forever until you sweep it away. That's gonna be our mission...to sweep this orange turd into the crapper. I apologize preemptively to all denizens of crappers everywhere for wishing this insult to all living things on them.
A promise from the Orange Idiot has the shelf life of a gnat.
Except for like the promise that he would release all of his convicted Jan. 6th fanatical brownshirts like Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio to wreak havoc on those who would be our protectors.
But even then he said that he would go on a Case by case basis and not everyone would be released and what did he do? He just did a blanket pardon full pardon for all of them even the ones that beat up police put them in the hospital gouge them hit them with baseball bats and flag poles. He needs his personal Army out to do his bidding. That's all that amounts to
So about 1500 more domestic terrorists and their "generals" will now be roaming our streets. Wonderful.
I thought about Brian Sicknick's mother and said a prayer for her.
Did you REALLY believe what he says...after ALL this time????
Anyone who believes a word from that sack of crap is even a bigger pile of crap than he is. He will only take care of the billionaires and millionaires and screw the rest of us over just like he did the last time. Some people never learn

I have been wondering why he pardoned the drug dealer hacker, that was responsible for 6 deathsтАж.
He pardoned the guy because he's somehow going to use his hacking abilities for his benefit. He doesn't do anything positive so to speak for anybody unless there's a gain in it for him somewhere. I'm unaware of the six deaths he was responsible for but once again that may be a talent that the Cheeto can put to use for his own benefit somewhere down the line.
