Asymmetry, asymmetry, asymmetry - they can do it but we can't. Everything they accuse US of is exactly what THEY are doing. The only way to start turning this around is taking up similar tactics. Stop being nice. Stop following the rules. Stop acting reasonable.
Rachel et al., how about some asymmetry of our own? To wit:
āStates have accepted a fiction that federal fiscal dominance is constitutionally required. It's not. These strategies are all legal, all constitutional, and all available to states willing to assert their actual authority rather than their assumed subordination.
Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. The UK Ambassador has been sacked for his connections to Epstein; it will be interesting to see how the Brits manage the visit of Dolos next week (timestamp - 3:50): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghEt48-mXOQ . Lastly, Bloomberg has found 18,000 emails from Maxwell and Epstein (to paraphrase: āBUT HIS EMAILSā): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXVrvMj0Lwc&list=TLPQMTEwOTIwMjXDWi62TBkL-g . I wonder what the āover-underā is for next weekās state visit. Iām asking for a friend.
With this in mind, please watch this interview with Nick Carmody, a lawyer and psychotherapist (ADULT LANGUAGE, timestamps - 14:05, 15:00, 16:21, 17:21, 18:24, 21:10*, 21:59**, 23:00, 26:18, 27:07, 28:46, 29:41, 32:00, 35:27, 39:18*, 46:01**, 47:05**, 48:06, 49:23**, 49:47**, 51:48, 53:18, 54:10*, 55:19***, 56:03*, 1:02:58*, 1:10:08, 1:12:28, 1:14:55***, 1:19:48**, 1:20:44, 1:21:31, and 1:22:33***): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd0DY7HeM9k . Mr. Carmody has provided one of the most accessible takes on Dolos as a malignant narcissist on the net. His articles are available on Patreon and on Substack: https://www.patreon.com/posts/57588045 . As usual, the entire interview is worth a listen.
The most important takeaway is that Dolos only cares about himself - PERIOD. Carmody explains how this self-absorption manifests itself in the incessant lying and the overall illiberal behavior. It is important to understand that Dolos will always put himself before the nation: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-biggest-corruption-scandal-isn-220315845.html. He cannot help himself.

P.S.: Do the following now! FIRST, TEACH CIVICS. Second, register voters. THIRD, TEACH CIVICS. Rinse. Repeat.
Trump "speech" OK. Fox News "speech" OK. Vance "speech" OK. New Max "speech" OK..... Anyone else.........This is Project 2025 on steroids - Brendan Carr wrote a chapter in Project 2025. Gee I wonder why he is doing what he is doing???? He serves America???????? He is serving one man. Just like that one man expects him to do. Check to see what the FCC is REALLY supposed to do? Oh, hell no, it only does what one man wants it to do. No rules, no laws, no guidelines, just whatever the hell the Dear leader wants PERIOD! And now the party that USED TO carry around copies of the U.S. Constitution and wave it in everyone's face NOW has turned their back on the U.S. Constitution and are ready willing and able to throw it all away to get what they want. And the Roberts 6 just keep rubber stamping whatever the Dear leader bring to them. Bought, Paid, For, Check, Done, Next..... The new American McCarthyism.........and remember that Trump's mentor was Roy Cohn - lawyer to Sen. Joseph McCarthy who says Attack, attack, attack, attack....... And just watch what is happening with this regime - Pay to Play!! Pay me, you can do what I want you to do. Don't Pay me - I will attack you and Make you pay me or else..........Money - Power - Control!!

Folks:
A number of clinicians (even with the Goldwater rule) had warned on multiple occasions that Dolos was mentally unfit to lead the most powerful nation on the planet: https://bandyxlee.substack.com/p/violence-begets-violence-d73 . It is possible that we are dealing with something more psychological than political: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9vluA-XZak&list=TLPQMTYwOTIwMjVm2i-FTvCWLw . This concept might seem blasphemous on this platform, but there is likely some truth to this observation.
