And mine was a toxic narcissist who was a champion at gaslighting. A recipe for growing up thinking you're the crazy (selfish, lazy, incompetent) one.

Declaring war on Iran didn't distract people from the Epstein files, maybe declaring war on Cuba will! This man is willing to set the whole world on fire on the off chance that it'll help him escape any accountability for the vile and vicious things he's done.

100%. I still remember how shocked I was -- and yet, how much sense it made when I thought about it -- when a therapist said about what I'd been through as a child, "You DO realize that was emotional abuse, right?"

I just wonder when the media is going to see the handwriting on the wall -- stop kissing his ass and report on him fairly. So far, all the MSM still seems to be sanewashing him on a daily basis.

And don't the corporate leaders by now know they're hitched to a train that's about to crash?
