OT: Strange Man

In what sense does suggesting that Trump might be played into endorsing a tax credit for Volt by calling it a Trumpmobile involve a confusion between Trump and Bernie Sanders?

Bernie might endorse a tax credit on electric cars - probably not, since tax credits tend to be inequitable

but he isn't an egomaniac, and calling the Volt the Sandersmobile wouldn't suck him in.

Krw does produce some cretinous comments, but this is even dumber than most of his contributions.

Must be German, doesn't "do" comedy.

"THATS THE JOKE"

A defining characteristic of egomania is an inability to put oneself in the position of someone else and try to think like that person does the way a good chess player or football coach does - for the egomaniac that's a humiliating experience at cross-purposes with the focus on the self. So they don't have experience with what the military might call objective "red team analysis" or playing the devil's advocate.

An egomaniac also lives in a fantasy world, where good fortune happens to them because it is destined to be so. Lack of objectivity + magical thinking = easily duped

Why would Trump want to be prosecuted for treason?

So if he was born in Kenya, how did he become President of the US For eight years? I'm interesting in hearing your delusional spin on this one.

True. But I said " could " . I did not say ' anyone knows they are being played. "

You need to do more work on your language comprehension. If they could tell that they were being played, they would know that they were being played.

ll that they were being played, they would know that they were being played .

Funny, I was thinking the same of you.

Lots of people were played by Bernie Madoff. They did not realise that they were being played. But many of them might have done a little checking if someone had suggested to them that they might be being played. So to me one can not know they are being played, but if prompted will think about it an d realise that they were being played.

You do like your self-serving delusions.

That's roughly what I was saying, and what you were explicitly denying.

" I would think anyone could tell if they were being played even if they did not know the motive. " Like I said, your English comprehensions sucks, and your grasp of reality i s flawed.

Or reject your suggestion outright, claiming that you're jealous, or some such. Denial, and all that.

Many of his victims were likely aware, but probably also believed themselves to be at the top of the pyramid, rather than at the bottom. Whoops!

The average hustler/scam artist finds it inconceivable that he himself could be scammed. In fact they make the easiest targets

simplest explanation: many of his victims knew full well it was shady; what they didn't expect was to be on the losing end of the scam.

How about an archived 2004 Kenyan newspaper article?

Right, I'd forgotten about that one.

"Jeri Ryan described one as 'a bizarre club with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling.'" Damn, Jack, that's some messed-up stuff you're into. Wonder what the so-called Moral Majority thought about that one.

Anyway who's "Barrack Obama"?

SUCKER!

Less interesting than the Disney version:

You are a Liberal fool to believe anything on Snopes. It is nothing more than a group of liberals who publish things to make Democrats look good. Do some real research, and you will see for yourself.

Archive.org archives the internet. It crawls the internet and takes snapshots of as many websites as it can.

That story was published in 2004, long before Obama was put into the Oval office.

The liberals have the advantage that they can publish things that are true and verifiable, and the Democrats still look good.

Cutting and pasting a lie into Kenyan newspaper article didn't make the birthers look any more convincing (to anybody less gullible than you).

So what? He was a Democrat even back then, and the right wanted to smear him anyway they could. Does the name Karl Rove ring any bells with you?

The issue is that TRUMP is too complex for the simple minded!

Jamie

Well, Jamie is our local representative of the simple-minded, as well as the wrong-headed.

Sadly, Trump isn't complicated enough to do the job that the - clearly defective - US electoral college system has thrust upon him.
