The Growing Thirst for Cruelty

My childhood dream was to be a criminal defense attorney. I regret not accomplishing that goal. I think I might have actually been good at it, and I think I might have cared about what I did. I'm not emotionally connected to the work I do now. I don't really care about it. But I think if I was a criminal defense lawyer I would care and that I would fight for my clients.

I probably should have been a teacher. Or something to do with dogs (don't really know a specific job though)

Last night I took my daughter to the park and saw 2 of the elementary kids there and it filled me up to see them. Can't wait for school to start back up so I can see all the kids again.

To add to this. My daughter and the 2 other kids wanted me to play tag with them. My daughter is going into 4th grade, one of the other kids is going into 5th and the other is going into 2nd.
I said yes despite the fact that my left knee has been bothering me for a few months now.

At one point the 5th grader was chasing me and I have always been a pretty good athlete and have always been a runner so I decided to show them what I could do and decided to go full speed. (I barely pulled away from the kid chasing me lol. I'm getting way too old way too fast)
I felt fine walking home last night and went to bed feeling fine.
Woke up this morning and I'm limping now. I need to stop racing kids. Or get into better shape and get healthier.

I did start exercising and dieting a little about a week ago. Hopefully I can stick with it. I'm hoping to get down to about 190. Currently about 200.

This is just a traffic court. Judge Caprio has been just like this since he sat on the bench, some 40 years ago. . Lots of people are familiar with the show that was created around his court, “Caught in Providence”. He was Chief Justice of the Providence, RI Municipal Court. It does me proud to see a Rhode Island judge praised, the world over, his Facebook page filled with comments from all over the globe. He’s battling cancer at the moment, doing well, retired after 40 years on the bench, so the show ended when he retired. Compassion always ruled the day when Judge Caprio was on the bench….

These ICE chuds are not cops. Some are actual agents, many ex-military. Most have been recruited over the last 4 years, many were at J6 and pardoned too. This is an army they’ve built over the years and they’re waiting for the green light to kill immigrants, it’s why they signed up. Many didn’t get to kill anyone in the military, so this is their chance for blood.

100%. Trump's personal military under guise as a government force. Fostering racism and keeping Trump in power is killing two birds with one stone. I hope our military is ready to mow these mother****ers down if it comes to it but not holding my breath. If The Rapist lives long enough he will very possibly be President through 2028 and beyond. Torture.

Trump Supporters Report Having Higher Levels of Psychopathy, Manipulativeness, Callousness, and Narcissism

A study found that Trump supporters report enjoying the pain of others, lacking empathy and having higher levels of psychopathy, manipulativeness, callousness, and narcissism.

Trump supporters report enjoying the pain of others, lacking empathy and having higher levels of psychopathy, manipulativeness, callousness, and narcissism, according to a new psychological study based on two large surveys of U.S. adults.

The Journal of Research in Personality reportedthat psychopathic traits and malevolent disposition predicted an increase in conservative political ideology, whereas a benevolent disposition predicted decreased conservative ideology, which is to sway more liberal ideology.

Conservative ideology was represented “by symbolic and operational ideology and positive view of Trump.”

The study found “psychopathic traits and malevolent disposition predicted increased conservative political ideology,” whereas “Benevolent disposition predicted decreased conservative ideology--i.e., more liberal ideology”.

It was really quite simple and rather discouraging: “Those viewing Trump favorably reported elevated malevolent and reduced benevolent dispositions, and less empathy.”

This study was specifically focused on support for Trump, as previous studies have already established an affinity between conservative ideology and authoritarianism. They note that not every conservative is an authoritarian, and I would add that anyone who is a principled, small government conservative rather than the predominance of today’s conservatives as reactionary, anti-rights for others conservatives who enjoy the pain of others would naturally not support executive power as displayed by an authoritarian. (Although history shows us that conservatives are drawn over and over again to strongmen populists types, but a similar argument could be made of extremists on the left.)

Conservatives have been shown to be drawn psychologically to social dominance orientation and right-wing authoritarianism in previous studies, but Trump has “radically reshaped” the U.S. conservatives to such an extent that he has moved the Republican Party toward authoritarianism.

This is to say, it’s not your imagination. Watching conservatives explain that they voted for Trump because he promised to inflict pain on a group of people the conservative dislikes has been exceptionally disconcerting for a reason: This is a sign that a large number of people are expressing malevolent traits as seen in psychopathy, and they’ve been doing it en masse for almost a decade now.

Below is a screen grab of a protester showing a photo of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2018 Trump rally in Duluth, Minnesota, leading to Trump sneering at the protester, “Go home to your mom, darling” as he has security throw the man out. The crowd, that supposedly cares about the Epstein Files, boos the man who was trying to warn them.

And so the authors set about to examine “whether dispositions reflecting malevolent (aversive) features and the relative absence of benevolent (affiliative) features and empathy were associated with conservative ideology and views of Trump.”

They noted that like Trump (Hyatt et al., 2018, Nai et al., 2019), “autocrats manifest socially aversive personality, including malevolent traits in the Dark Triad: narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism (Nai & Toros, 2020).

This is to say: It’s not your imagination. Watching conservatives explain that they voted for Trump because he promised to inflict pain on a group of people the conservative dislikes has been exceptionally disconcerting for a reason: This is a sign that a large number of people are expressing malevolent traits as seen in psychopathy, and they’ve been doing it en masse for almost a decade now.

We live among these people and that is rightfully disturbing.

The violence Trump engenders against his perceived enemies is more proof of his dark influence on society and on his followers, and the authors note psychopathy has a significant link to violence and aggression.

The study:

  • •
    Conservative political ideology represented by symbolic and operational ideology and positive view of Trump

My neighborhood restaurant has been closed for weeks. They’re afraid of a raid. They came to the US because it was too violent in their country and they were being hunted. My neighbors, all of us, are scared.

Our racists have power and are targeting brown people. They’ve built concentration camps, coming to a suburb near you btw, housing people without due process. This is only the beginning too. Billions are being spent right now to expand operations and build more camps. More targeted propaganda imagery incoming as well. Your mental state will be further pushed to the edge. Enjoy.

Go to KSL comments for stories about this stuff and you will see glee and celebration of the cruelty. They will exclaim that this is EXACTLY why they voted for Trump. Their tiny little Trump-sized dicks are rock solid over this ****. Even if they can't get hard for their wives this **** works better than Viagra for them.

Dropped cases against LA protesters reveal false claims from federal agents

Revealed: records show border patrol gave inaccurate testimony about people it jailed. Prosecutors now face ‘embarrassing’ dismissals
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

US immigration officers made false and misleading statements in their reports about several Los Angeles protesters they arrested during the massive demonstrations that rocked the city in June, according to federal law enforcement files obtained by the Guardian.

The officers’ testimony was cited in at least five cases filed by the US Department of Justice amid the unrest. The justice department has charged at least 26 people with “assaulting” and “impeding” federal officers and other crimes during the protests over immigration raids. Prosecutors, however, have since been forced to dismiss at least eight of those felonies, many of them which relied on officers’ inaccurate reports, court records show.

The justice department has also dismissed at least three felony assault cases it brought against Angelenos accused of interfering with arrests during recent immigration raids, the documents show.

The rapid felony dismissals are a major embarrassment for the Trump-appointed US attorney for southern California, Bill Essayli, and appeared to be the result of an unusual series of missteps by the justice department, former federal prosecutors said.

The Guardian’s review of records found:

  • Out of nine “assault” and “impeding” felony cases the justice department filed immediately after the start of the protests and promoted by the attorney general, Pam Bondi, prosecutors dismissed seven of them soon after filing the charges.
  • In reports that led to the detention and prosecution of at least five demonstrators, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents made false statements about the sequence of events and misrepresented incidents captured on video.
  • One DHS agent accused a protester of shoving an officer, when footage appeared to show the opposite: the officer forcefully pushed the protester.
  • One indictment named the wrong defendant, a stunning error that has jeopardized one of the government’s most high-profile cases.
“When I see felonies dismissed, that tells me either the federal officers have filed affidavits that are not truthful and that has been uncovered, or US attorneys reviewing the cases realize the evidence does not support the charges,” said Cristine Soto DeBerry, a former California state prosecutor who is now director of Prosecutors Alliance Action, a criminal justice reform group.

She said officers often call for charges that prosecutors don’t end up filing, but it was uncommon for the justice department to file, then dismiss cases, especially numerous felonies in rapid succession.

“It seems this is a way to detain people, hold them in custody, instill fear and discourage people from exercising their first amendment rights,” DeBerry said.

It's going to get uglier and uglier. The pattern in WW2 Germany is the template. $9 billion in ICE funding for The Rapist's Gestapo. One man brought this all about, just like Hitler. Incredible.

Again, I don’t know what stupid voters were thinking last fall. Did they forget that this guy asked the proud boys to “stand by?” Did they forget that he promised to pardon all those Jan 6 losers? What were voters thinking? Oh yeah, the media told them egg prices or something.

Meanwhile, how’s inflation now? Fixed? How’s your grocery bill? Probably like half of what it used to be under Biden, right?
