To the Chagrin of Some and to Bernie's Fault, He's not a Sociopath

We saw clear evidence of Bernie's non-sociopathy during the last town hall with Anderson Cooper. Anderson asked him about releasing his full medical records. Bernie said, "probably not, Anderson." Had Bernie been a sociopath, he might have responded, "When Mr. Trump turns over all his medical records, I'll do the same." He didn't because he needs to ascertain all the repercussions of releasing his records in full. He's not going to lie to the American people as a sociopath might with a glib answer. Btw, I was surprised that Dr. Sanjay Gupta was calling for--I believe he said--heart ejection volume. Now, I'm not an MD, but if Bernie had had low ejection volume, certainly his pulse would have been high to compensate and if his pulse had been lowered with beta blockers, I doubt he'd have the stamina to even be on the campaign trail. Gupta is part of a profession that kills in order to maintain their status quo. Let's be wary. Why do I say,...

Rush Limbaugh and the Lesson for Other Republicans

Rush Limbaugh is a witty and humorous conservative and I wish him a speedy recovery but he's got two personal problems: he lies for Trump and he may not be a sociopath like the President. These two facts do not concern us so much as they concern Mr. Limbaugh who has cancer and may have gotten it from the stress of lying repeatedly on behalf of the President. Let me explain the link a little better. If you are a sociopath, you can lie all you want and not feel any of the stress of having lied, and not feeling stress, you tend not to get sick. Cancer is known to occur in people who are under unrelenting stress. Rush Limbaugh got sick with cancer because he is not a sociopath but thought that he, like the President, could get away with lying non-stop. I just saw Mitch McConnell on CNN. He also looks like he could come down with cancer any day. He may come across as the cool professional politician but inside he knows he's lying for the President and that stress will be his und...

Lacking "Fly on the Wall" Status, Perverse Thinking takes over at this blog

So, Sex hits the WH again. I've used the term sociopath before but I'd like to start using the more euphemistic "narcissistic personality disorder" instead (NPD for short). Such persons do not have any qualms with sex--they are true Bonobos. It comes as no surprise that the President would enjoy talking of and engaging in sexual activities with abandon. Unlike the Bonobo who use sex to avoid conflict, the human NPD has not perfected the assuaging behavior; and, I got to say, it may be because puritanism is too prevalent in human society. Luckily for POTUS and the likes of Clinton, extenuating factors enter the picture such that Mr. Trump can "get away" with lockeroom talk and sex with prostitutes. There is a line to be crossed, however, and violence to women is still a no-no. It was curious to me why POTUS would defend Mr. Porter. My overactive mind came up with this, "She was engaging in fellatio when she bit my penis, Mr. President, I then punched ...

Donald J. Trump, How Different from You and Me?

I have come to recognize POTUS' behaviors as those of a sociopath but before we get too involved, the reader needs to understand that sociopaths play a needed role in our society--they make the best surgeons, soldiers, lawyers, and, unfortunately for the consumer, businessmen. The main reason for their success in these areas is that a sociopath is cool and collect. More so than in the average person, he/she is able to think without emotional baggage or emotion that can cloud one's judgment. However, that is not to say that our sociopath friends and family (if you look for them, you'll find them) are stoics and can keep from showing us their very universal "human" side. On the contrary, when personally assaulted, for instance, they are quite capable of lashing out at others and being as vindictive as the next guy. Let's outline the sociopath's characteristics and then relate them one by one to President Trump: Deficient in Empathy Uses Glib responses ...
