I'm not a parent so I can't relate, but man, why go so far to try and nurture an offspring who is so mentally ill? Reportedly, Rob had told someone that he was afraid of his son and what he was capable of. Well, why give him home and shelter? Rob did everything for him when he was a child through adulthood to get him the help he needs. It never broke through, there was always a relapse. At that point where you exhausted all means, just let the offspring go for your own health and safety. Sometimes the neurons just don't fire right, it happens, humans are complex organisms. But those who self-destruct repeatedly aren't worth trying to save.

Transparent, honest, not corrupt at all!

Y'know, don't elect Trump, and you don't get this mess. But I guess Americans are addicted to drama.

Great, isn't it?

Just like anything else - don't overdo it, and it's fine.

To begin with, people don't become rich and powerful without having some moral corruption. Then once they have the power, they're nearly untouchable. Narcissists, lack of empathy, and abusers. These types of people have personality disorders.

Impossible. Trump is the peace president I thought? 🙄

Y'know, I've seen some opinion pieces about how Americans shouldn't have watched the video. That we've become too desensitized to violence and have lost our sense of humanity and soul. I'm of two minds about that. One is, yes, we shouldn't have ever gotten used to this kind of thing. But also, I don't think it's wise to turn a blind eye to the reality that we live in. This is a violent and unhinged country. Look at it, process it, accept it for what it is. Survival dictates getting acclimated to your environment.

Lol yep. You know you're a corrupt hellhole when Brazil outdoes you.

It's no guarantee that happens, right? Russia seems to have been stuck in their red/blue/orange stage for a very long time in comparison to other countries that rapidly evolved, like say, Germany.

That's what people say about Trump as well. The problem with far right/left rhetoric is that they're mired in falsehoods. They feed on divisions and appeal to the monkey brain. It's difficult for me to respect anyone that does this, because it's just inane populist BS that undermines democracy and can lead to a collapse in our freedom and systems. And for what? To feel good about your little ego, or perhaps grift the masses? It's nonsense and it's drivel.

He was nuanced about it. He marginalized certain classes and groups. Classic "treat marginalized people as subhumans, let the rest play out as it may" rhetoric. If you're not preaching peace, love, and unity, then you're giving way towards violence. This is what extremists do, and as Leo said, they fall victim to their own system that they're running.

These loons don't relate to children. They relate to the far right loon with political influence, therefore their identity took a hit today. But these people still don't have a strong sense of self, nor do they have much of an attention span. They're keyboard warriors and complainers. This will hurt them for a day or two, then they'll go back to scrolling on whatever dumb thing grabs their only two brain cells that speak the same language.

Yeah I mean, the man was a human virus that was going to have influence for a long, long time. Let's not forget that people these days have the attention span of a gnat. People are going to quickly move on and forget. The ones that will dwell were already radicalized and there was no hope for them.

Yeah I can't deny that we are in a soft civil war. It's just astounding to me, I suppose. But fortunately, most Americans aren't going to be causing any violence. It's the radicalized that will. But if they're weak minded enough to get radicalized, then they never had a strong foundation and have just been floating through life. Something untruthful and toxic would grab ahold of them one way or another. They're using the political discourse and chaos that has become normalized under Trump as an opportunity to lash out. Opportunists, they are.
