I keep telling people that, and they think he won’t “go that far”
I keep telling people that, and they think he won’t “go that far”
💙
I don’t know what part of obvious they don’t get. I’m done listening to it.
AHHHH...I keep screaming...stop putting rational thought behind irrational behavior.
I think he's doing it all on purpose, just to see how far he can go. I'm pretty certain, he doesn't care one bit about RFK Jr, etc. If the Senate is his only guardrail - and he's testing them with these idiotic nominations.
They’ll cave like they’ve been trained to.
You're probably right. Sigh.
Drump is taking direct orders from Putin.
They want this. It helps there ratings. Same way Elon embraces the radical right because they use the platform more.
Exactly
He also runs on instinct, not some super deep strategy.
True story. Think like a sociopath if you can & it will all make sense.
trump just wants yes people who agree with his agenda in place to do what he needs done. Gabbard - direct line to Putin. Gaetz - will go after trump's critics (beware George.) Hegseth - will remove Generals/etc. who would stop trump from his retribution. That simple.
You’d think they’d have figured that out by now. 🙄
is it possible for a ordinary human to sink to the depths of depravity and insanity?
I was married to two men in my life. Both were narcissists of different types. I took me 40 years to work out how to understand them. Here is my understanding short version. They do the opposite of what you want all the while telling you what you want to hear. They have a scorched earth policy!
It really is that simple!
Seriously. As the saying goes, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
They proven themselves incapable so far with precious few exceptions
Is he acting up again?
🤣💯
They seem to be afraid of taking him at his word. If they think they are somehow protecting themselves they are sadly mistaken. They have had a target on him since the first negative word they said about him.
Soooo agreed
he isnt doing anything, he just says a lot.
Like Maggie Haberman…..Watch her speak about Trump, never professes a fact. Always speculating. Narcissists are like amoebas, there is no higher purpose or strategy besides gaining attention. Period.
Oh, and don’t do your broadcast from Mar-a-Lago.
Don't dictators shut down news outlets putting reporters in the unemployment line or prison? Yes, I believe that that's what dictators do.
I've lost count of how many times I've said a version of "You're trying to make sense. Stop that - it does not apply here."
Pathocracy is a term used to describe a system of government where a small group of people w personality disorders, such as psychopathy, gain control over a society. The term was coined by Polish psychologist Andrew Lobaczewski, who was inspired by his experiences under Nazi and Soviet occupation.
Here are some characteristics of a pathocracy: Self-interest: People in power are driven by self-interest and extremism. Disregard for others: People in power have little regard for others. Dismantling democratic institutions: People in power attempt to discredit and
dismantle democratic institutions, such as the freedom of the press. Coded language: A coded language is used to pervert prevailing moral values. Lack of empathy: People in power lack empathy and morality.
He’s literally dismantling the federal government and will pocket as much cash as possible while inflicting cruel policies on voters. It’s not rocket science ffs.
They aren't cutting any spending of the federal government, they are simply redirecting the funds their way.
DING DING DING!

What he’s doing: “late stage coup”. America will never recover from this…..
Ding, ding, ding.....agreed!
The easiest method: think of three possible intentions and pick the most hideous.
We all need to become experts on how to deal with malignant narcissists because that is ultimately what we are dealing with here.
Media normalizing trump is what got us here.
That would help us all.
The definition of insanity. They're doing the same damn thing expecting a different outcome.
Where has JD Vance been? Haven’t seen him since the election. 🤷🏻♀️🤔
Half the country not thinking is what got us here in the first place.
What happened to the corgis? You don‘t mention the corgis any more… 🐾🐾
Is no one going to touch the #Spoonomore letters?
Watch documentary the Path to Genocide
Same with reporters not understanding why their core viewers aren’t watching anymore. They have been late to the party for at least 10 yrs. We are tired of their gaslighting us for $.
God it’s been an entire decade!
Yes ma’am! No wonder we are exhausted.
I'm suspicious few can make this huge leap of faith. It's too far.
Seriously...
bsky.app/profile/keds...
It’s just sane-washing from now on 🤬
Yes!!
I am 100% sure that is telling these MAGAts that they are sociopaths will get through to them! They need to reckanize.
Visit Trump at Mara Lago and talk about stuff maybe?
As Sherlock Holmes said, "As a rule the more bizarre a thing is, the less mysterious it proves to be".
The answer is always crime
Lies too. It could be lies.
Why not both?
Well, considering it's his favorite combination.
So George, any plans to continue targeted ads? Seems like Mr. Strongman has become Leon's little whipped wench already. Might be worth highlighting. Psychpac.org is unreachable for me. Is that strategy retired?
How should we understand his voters/supporters? What has happened to them, psychologically, to make it ok to vote for such a person devoted to spreading hate?
I don't understand why this is so hard for people to get their head around.
This.
📌
Instead people are going to have dinner with him like your friends Mika & Joe and treating him like this is all normal.
I keep telling ppl this: he’s not sane, he’s not sensible and he can’t even be relied upon to be consistent
✅
Before he just tested the boundaries. Now he’s breaking them by normalizing insanity. Republicans may deny him his most extreme nominees & relative to the insane ones the merely highly marginal ones will almost seem normal. “A POTUS is entitled to pick his own cabinet” will be an endless refrain.
And stop painting all of his support as the same. It is an unholy alliance of at least four different types of voter, each disturbing for a different reason.
....comparing the meeting to a president's national security advisor talking with world leaders with whom the US has profound disagreements...... what utter drivel... Scarborough went on to say he was 'inspired' by Neville Chamberlain meeting Hitler in 1938..... eu.usatoday.com/story/entert...
That advice goes for @POTUS Biden too!
Countdown to a total dismantling of our government. TrumpSuckers suck. 🤮
We wasted all this time trying to analyze MAGA craziness. They (MAGA) use it to be relevant and use our help to take air out of good topics. That is why we lost. And we continue doing exactly the same now….
"For every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." - H. L. Mencken
Trump believes himself to be, like Caesar, a demi-god. He will use his perverse appointments to demonstrate his complete control over the Republican Senate. To understand his mentality, I would suggest reviewing the Divus Julius: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_i...
He simply doesn't care if people die from his policies. He may actually want it.
With him the cruelty is the point. Daddy taught him well.
Just listen to him. He tells you exactly what he plans to do.
bsky.app/profile/tezt...
The scary part is this craziness is being normalized and "accepted"
Indeed!!
This!
🎯🎯🎯
So true. He is such a pathological liar that it’s impossible to predict what election “promises”he will keep. What we can all bet on is that whatever he does, will be in his own self interest. And now with his new BFF beside him, it will be whatever makes his BFF even richer.
Man, I can’t wait for 2025!!
Good podcast yesterday, George. You’re firing on all cylinders. Be careful.
Would dems prefer Trump or Bernie be president? Seems like they prefer trump. They prefer their comfy lifestyles over the working class getting healthcare and better living conditions.
I fear what happens to a free press under a Trump authoritarian dictatorship.
Standing up to fascism is not going to be easy for anyone, especially those with high profiles. Still I hope everyone with a high profile platform will continue to speak out and stand up to the insanity of Trump and his psychotic corrupt cult administration. I certainly appreciate all of you.
Media still asking the same questions since 2016. “Why is Trump doing that?” I feel stuck in a twilight movie every time I watch msnbc, cnn, ..
www.webmd.com/mental-healt...
They normalized trump so media should be giddy with excitement of the amount of crazy they’re going to be able to cover for the next 4yrs. Welcome to the jungle.
Most people can’t comprehend the mind of a malignant narcissist. They don’t get it until they’re trying to pull the knife out of their back.
The stupid! It hurts!
Exactly they and we need to take him as the narcissistic incompetent sociopath he is and Pres Biden needs to mount a secret operation like Obama did to get bin Laden so Trump isn’t allowed to take office until thorough domestic and international United Nations investigations of the election occurs
They are too smart to not know better. The media is complicit in him winning by reporting like he is not a threat and is normal.
You'll find it all here: BREAKING: BAD: The Hypocrisy of the Mainstream Media and How it Elected Donald Trump a.co/d/3vcUrnL
Exactly!
Can you also text them: Duh!
Truth
GC- please tell us you are NOT going to Inauguration like Moring Joe says?!!
George, my assessment of Trump, precisely. Trump lives in an altered state of mind, inhabited only by beings with serious mental disorders.
Winner winner chicken dinner. Lol
Naive question: is there anything Biden could do, to stop this madness that could could be a danger for US security and lead to dictatorship in the USA? What powers does Biden have?
Exactly, imagine you bought yourself a golden toilet, and your world view is "I can grab any woman by the pussy because I'm rich. What would you do then?
Those who understand should be worried about themselves.
Perhaps if they hadn't sane-washed him we would not be in this mess.
Preventing his Cabinet from 25th Amending him into the loony bin btw: where's Vance these days?
Also, reports the facts, we’re kinda sick of journalists spin.
It's easy to figure out what Trump is doing. He's systematically dismantling the U.S. from the inside. Repubs are gonna learn that Trump is the sleeper that Yuri Bezmenov warned them about. They were too dumb to figure it out sooner even after I warned them about Trump.
Having come up in big corporate America in the 80s and 90s sociopathy was a survival skill as well as an effective career builder. Trump is as transparent as a window and as shallow as a puddle. I am always amazed how people don't see it. He's not even good at it.
dear reporters, he is deconstructing the organized state, or fucks sake.
💯💯
Now that Joe & Mika have gone to Mar-A-Lago to kiss the ring, will you still appear in Morning Joe adding to their legitimizing of Trump??
How can we get people to understand that he is a sociopath and that sociopaths do not have limits to what they will do?
No guardrail institution has failed worse in all of this than the MSM. The way most reported this campaign was the equivalent of being in Manhattan on 9/11 and ignoring the towers aflame.
Hard agree
A+ advice.
If they haven't learned that yet...forget it. Here we go again. 2016 on steroids.
Seriously stunted journalism! Get up off your heels and play offense instead of reacting??? How long does one need to understand this specimen, this obvious case study?
Good advice. Maybe add stop making up shit up or repeating lies about Trump while you’re at it.
Basically, assume the absolute worst and you might get close to what he is doing.
We have not had a national reckoning with sociopathy. Assumptions are made about good faith that are just not there. Entirely the opposite, actually.
personally, I don't want to know a GD thing trump is doing. I'm closing my eyes and ears and holding my nose for 4 years. Hopefully the next Democratic President will clean up after him.....AGAIN!
I think one key to understanding this, is that people with antisocial personality disorder can be the master manipulators playing 4D chess, but they can also be impulsive and just do things without considering the consequences.
Trump loves chaos, 1. it means he's the centre of attention like a circus ringmaster. 2. It allows him to play off one group against another. 3. It allows him to cover up the grift he's carrying on underneath it all
He’s always doing the dumbest most self serving thing
FACT.
Good advice
Bingo.
😂
Mutually exclusive
I wish more people would take George’s advice
It’s actually advice for all of us, so thank you George.
You’re so right.
He is watching TV all day, like an old retired guy and selecting cabinet people who have to have history with raping, fondling, or sex trafficking. Scandal is his number one qualification for leadership. He is showering us with immorality.
Trump aims to burn our democracy to the basement. The reporter's job should be to show us the evidence, which will speak for itself. Enough with the explaining! Just show us.
Listen to David. Nuff said.
Know thy enemy and know thy self and you will win a hundred battles ~Sun Tzu
Job 1 1st 100 days is fulfill tRump’s marching orders which will be to remove anyone who won’t pledge loyalty to him above all including their oath to the constitution George Carlin said and it is so true “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." ie) the 50% of the electorate
Exactly. Pundits and otherwise rational people who act like Trump has a sane and normal psychology fall into a trap. This trap causes a consistent reinterpretation of his words and actions through a more rational lens that normalizes his behavior over time. People acclimate and stop questioning.
✅
Think less "what would a normal president do?" and more "what would a toddler do if you gave them nuclear launch codes and told them the red button was actually for unlimited ice cream?
Just joined and so glad to see George Conway on here! Finding my favs.
Evergreen tweet
When you understand that Putin OWNS Trump, every one of these decimals a lot more sense.
Brilliant response!
The perfect advice
I swear, during the 45 years, I would sometimes feel naive, because I couldn’t imagine thinking or being like them. I don’t anymore, I know it’s them, not me.
PINKY AND THE BRAIN.
Imagine all humans are rats
David Brooks: “We’ve got this perverse situation in which the vast analytic powers of the entire world are being spent trying to understand a guy whose thoughts are often just six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar.”
You can also use ChatGPT.... "How would a sociopath possibly destroy democracy? Please list 25 different ways and then provide 25 ways to counter and correct". ... Stop looking for rationale! 😜
Tulsi Gabbards nomination absolutely terrifies me. She will read All our national intelligence. She will be the one to inform trump She is nothing more then a conspiracy speaker and is Russia’s girlfriend. Even Russia refers to her as Russias girlfriend and a Russian agent. Insanity
George you’re killing me and I love it!
Is there anyway he can be disbarred? I’m assuming if it was any other lawyer that would be an ethics complaint? If he’s disbarred does that mean he can’t be AG?
People PROJECT their own NORMALCY onto trump. I can't believe people still don't understand this guy.
Yes. We cannot relate to these people acting like we know best and you should just listen to us because we are so smart with our big brains.
Why r Kamala & supporters giving up? She needs to demand hand counts in precincts showing fishy results. Please read & share with ppl u know in the 7 swing states: open.substack.com/pub/spoonamo... Spoonamore reported today that NO election results since pre-2008 have smelled this fishy
Hey George - could some lawyers get together and form a Patriot Fund for innocent DOJ lawyers that sick old man will go after?
My advice to George is to advise your wife! I’m believing that u 2 just run a good cop, bad cop game&both make bank from it. You are both Republicans! I’m perplexed as to why you have joined the good side here when your beliefs are not in alignment with Dems

Exactly. Hubby says I'm too logical in attempting to understand the MAGA crowd.
Exactly
Stop going in morning Joe
He's just blowing it up.
The MSM normalized him in their coverage and here we are. Front page stories every day about Biden’s age!
Yep.
Pay no attention to the orange man behind the curtain…
He follows putin’s handbook to numb the citizens to outlandish behaviors while effectively de-legitimizing the mission & authority of each institution. It works.
They still don’t get that he’s not a normie
Agree. And am disappointed that Dem Leadership has not second guessed The Trump… as he plays by different or no rules.
Pretty much. Don't look for reason, rationality or compassion from the kakistocracy.
Install one of RFK's brain worms too. 😉
If you think of Donald Trump and Elon Musk as Bond villains it also helps.
It does, surprisingly. Movie Title? - "From Russia with Elon & the fElon" - Maybe villains from a Bond parody "Golden Toilet" ...
😂
Perfect
Imagine you're a sociopathic oligarch aligned with transnational crime syndicates anchored by Russian empire ambitions. You'll then see everything well before it happens.
This. 👆👆
If you actually treat every day like it was a TV show, it makes way more sense. This is the greatest reality TV show ever made and the casting is genius.
Truly
