What was that TV show...The Apprentice?? He-'-Donald has been consistently for himself all along. His business history is prime example
And, wasn't Hitler a narcissistic fascist? Let us take a look at how that turned out for everyone.
And, what was the lesser of the two evils during the US election...a liar versus a covert narccisistic liar?
Again, just tossing my thoughts around. I have my safety nets in place and sails down until this mess is done. I'm betting on the hunch that Patsy Pence will be a good face for the nation for four years after the republicans cook Donald in His impeachment sauce.
***at least I'm hoping.

Pence is just as bad...but I find it easier and easier to believe that he will take over as Trump gets himself impeached for any number of reasons...still not releasing the tax returns or properly divesting his assets should be first and foremost.
Now Trump is going to announce his next pick tonight on prime time TV...I wonder who he will give the rose to?

But Skarekrow...Pence is a follower, he can't wreck near as much as Trump.
Tonight's pick is the SC Judge isn't it? I'd wager his two picks will one be judge and the other our new attorney general. Each 'positioning' is serving a greater purpose in the long run. Could get quite scary before he is done.

Army veterans return to Standing Rock to form a human shield against police

US veterans are returning to Standing Rock and pledging to shield indigenous activists from attacks by a militarized police force, another sign that the fight against the Dakota Access pipeline is far from over.
The growing group of military veterans could make it harder for police and government officials to try to remove hundreds of activists who remain camped near the construction site and, some hope, could limit use of excessive force by law enforcement during demonstrations.
“We are prepared to put our bodies between Native elders and a privatized military force,” said Elizabeth Williams, a 34-year-old air force veteran, who arrived at Standing Rock with a group of vets late on Friday. “We’ve stood in the face of fire before. We feel a responsibility to use the skills we have.”
It is unclear how many vets may arrive to Standing Rock; some organizers estimate a few dozen are on their way, while other activists are pledging that hundreds could show up in the coming weeks. An estimated 1,000 veterans traveled to Standing Rock in December just as the Obama administration announced it was denying a key permit for the oil company, a huge victory for the tribe.
The temperature is rising in wintry North Dakota. Pretty astonishing to have the veterans shield the activists. This would never work without the alternative media.
Today’s news that President Trump denounced an historic U.S.-Russia arms treaty in a January 28 call with Russian President Vladimir Putin is extremely troubling for several reasons. First, the prospect of a nuclear war remains one of the most serious issues a president must deal with. The New START Treaty has been widely recognized an important step toward reducing the risk of nuclear war between the world’s two largest nuclear-armed powers, the U.S. and Russia. As the Arms Control Association stated today:
"The 2010 New START agreement has advanced U.S. and global interests by lowering and capping the two nation’s excessive strategic deployed nuclear arsenals, both of which remained poised on launch-under-attack alert status, meaning that thousands of nuclear weapons could be launched by the U.S. and Russian leaders within minutes of the go order.”
This is why a group of former commanders of Strategic Air Command and U.S. Strategic Command wrote a letter to the Senate expressing their strong support for this treaty, and contradicting President Trump’s claim that it’s a bad deal. Indeed, his own Secretary of State voiced support for the treaty in his confirmation hearings.
Second, the fact that such details of this call were leaked is yet more evidence that officials in Trump’s own administration are deeply concerned over the direction in which he is taking the country, and his tenuous grasp of sensitive national security issues. This should concern us all, especially as it relates to the possible proliferation of nuclear weapons.
I got a feeling early on in 2016 that he has some narcissistic qualities. I saw that documentary from circa 1990 on Youtube. Residents of this housing magnate were told that he was not really communicating with them and addressing their concerns. But you sure could find his images and stories in business magazines. And he did make a rebound after his business empire collapsed the first time. He has got powerful friends helping him but he does not tell anything about that in public.

Marathon Pharmaceuticals plans to charge $89,000 for deflazacort, a drug that is widely available abroad in countries like Canada and the United Kingdom for approximately $1,000 per year.
That level of greed is unconscionable!
Potentially life-saving medication does no one any good if they cannot afford it.
This drug should be widely available to Americans dying from a deadly genetic muscle deterioration disorder, as it is in other countries.
Instead, Marathon is taking advantage of laws intended to find new cures for rare diseases in order to make huge profits.
The greed of the pharmaceutical industry has got to end.
The Congress must stand up to the power of the pharmaceutical industry.

I don’t know what it’s going to take to put an end to this obvious price gouging and the monopolies amongst the drug manufacturers.
$89,000 is fucking insane and unjustified.
I wish our Congress weren’t such money-whores to Big Pharma...but don’t worry...the people are watching...keep it up and you will all get voted out until someone stands up for and actually represents the best interest of the people over profits.
Disgusting.
Shame on anyone who treats people with such uncaring and dangerous disregard.
There is widespread acknowledgement that Russia played an extremely active role in the 2016 campaign.
What we don’t know is if that effort was coordinated with Trump or others in his campaign.
Today I will be asking the Senate Intelligence Committee to thoroughly investigate that issue.
We need to know whether we have a president whose foreign policy represents the best interests of this country or the best interests of Russia.
