“McConnell is a control freak in the most powerful legislature in the world. He relishes stopping everything for the people while bending over for his corporate paymasters, from Wall Street to Houston to the Koch brothers.” – Ralph Nader, Albany Herald, Oct 23, 2021

Good article but for the fact that He seems to yet think the LARP that is politics is “reality.” It is scripted and played out on the literal world stage, the script written, the characters cast, the directing from the wings, by the psychopaths in control.

I don’t see what you are talking about – that he shows a belief in politics is “reality”? To me, he’s just making a point about Trump in particular.
She’s talking about the fevered imaginings of her mind, brought about by a delusional psychosis.

FCC Chair Ajit Pai Unmasked Psychopath?
Many have accused FCC Chairman Ajit Pai of being a telecom shill between his background as a former Verizon lawyer and his determination to ignore all public input (not to mention complaints about comment bots) as he kills net neutrality. And apparently, his attempts at joking about it are only reinforcing those views. Gizmodo has obtained video of Pai trying to roast himself at the Federal Communications Bar Association’s annual event, including a pre-recorded skit where an actual Verizon executive (senior VP Kathy Grillo) talks about wanting to “brainwash and groom a Verizon puppet” to become the FCC chairman, with Pai responding that it sounds like an “awesome” idea.
Aside from the jokes falling flat, there are all kinds of problems with the routine. To start, FCC officials shouldn’t be joking about being shills. Whether or not they have industry backgrounds (like former Chairman Tom Wheeler), they’re supposed to take corruption allegations seriously instead of turning them into comedy sketches. The humor fails in part because there’s a painful degree of truth to it — it wouldn’t have come up if Pai weren’t pursuing the exact deregulation policies that major telecoms want. And crucially, telecom executives shouldn’t ever be involved. If anything, Grillo’s inclusion in the skit supports accusations that Pai is on the take, since he’s clearly cozy enough with Verizon to recruit one of its VPs for a gag.
For that matter, why would a Verizon executive agree to appear in a skit that makes light of corruption, especially knowing that the video might become public and damage the company’s reputation?

What an arrogant little pup! But that’s life under Trump. You probably think Ajit is acting like a typical psychopath. To which, I would reply not all bad behavior is indicative of psychopathy. This whole regime is like an alternate “reality,” a dystopian nightmare (or is that a double negative). Thank gods, we still have recourse to legal challenges. That can delay implementation long enough for a new government. Jones’ election in Alabama is a sign the tables are turning. And that arrogant pup, Moore, refusing to concede has got to be for the purpose of letting McConnell delay seating Jones so he can push through that dreadful tax bill before he is seated. I read that a sizeable group of Trump supporters are evangelicals who think Trump was chosen by “God” to bring about Armageddon. So the worse Trump does, the happier they are. They want the world to end. If that isn’t psychotic, it’s pretty damned close. Which is an excellent opportunity for me to point out that people who aren’t psychopaths can do things politically that are as bad if not worse than what a psychopath could do. Instead of testing politicians for psychopathy, maybe we should be testing voters for insanity. (I say this tongue-in-cheek as I know what an impossibly bad idea it would be to test voters. I haven’t forgotten the literacy tests under Jim Crow. I wish I could really think of a way to protect ourselves from crazy voters but, as someone said, “Democracy is a bad form of government but all the others are so much worse.”)
Anyone can be antisocial and corrupt. It is not necessarily the antisocial political moves that raise my suspicion of psychopathy. It is Ajit Pai’s gloating and glee over his foul actions that appear to be psychopathic.

You’re probably right there. Non-psychopathic politicians tend to be embarrassed by their own destructive actions. Makes you question what embarrassment / guilt is for when it doesn’t prevent moral shittery.
Happy Christmas to you both and / or happy hanukkah to Fran.
Thanks. I was going to say “you too”, but that would be too much 😛

I agree.
Non-psychopathic politicians often see a world that’s heavily colored by their own ideology, then add the fact that people who are good at lying, are also often even better at believing the lies they tell themselves. Behavioral brakes like embarrassment / guilt can be useful to have, but they are even more useful if people take the time to reflect over their own actions sometimes.
I think that the atmosphere of the political parties makes it into a gang or mafia type of expected loyalty situation. Nobody wants to be outcast, because they will be minimized and their voice will not be heard. The worst people then gain control of the best people in groups like that.

You control the content here, and you have a leftist slant. You simply delete my comments so they don’t appear if they disagree with the agenda you are pushing, communism, socialism, fascism. You label those who don’t agree with you psychopaths. Psychopaths don’t exist, and if they did, then politicians are a class of them by themselves. The billionaire elites, as a class, and even the entire families, can be considered to be a psychopaths, of whom none is as evil as George Soros(architect of social networks such as yours), and the global plandemic’s architects Bill Gates, Klaus Scwab and Fauci et al.
You can refer to me as a psychopath all you want. You can decide not to put my contents here. It matters not. Just remember, that there are many who have similar viewpoints like mine. And they are normal people. You don’t speak for them. You can create an echo chamber, as leftists are wont to do, but that is all it is.
The only improvement this world has seen, is that information is no longer being hidden by people like yourself. Pontificating with social methods of control by means of labelling others as having mental illnesses lose their power when you will not point out the obvious destruction being done by democrats, their enablers, the rich elites, the corrupt ones in the republican party, the foolish, lazy and gullible who go along with whatever anybody tells them.
Labelling someone a psychopath then makes a lot of sense. Most of the things one is being “ordered” or “required” to do, are not of any personal assistance to you. They are,however, of assistance to others(for the greater good, you might say). A person with a healthy dose of self-respect or a love of life, or a desire for rewards and a disdain of penalties, would disagree.
You therefore wage a propaganda campaign, together with your leftist “psychopath” friends, to paint a picture that the gullible will swallow. I have seen the attacks on Donald Trump, and how he was taken down by the media, the democratic party vote rigging machines, Zuckerberg money and the China Virus. However, you can not lie about the current rate of inflation, the price of gas and commodities and the general state of disrepair of the economy, including the state of the border.
No amount of calling people psychopaths will change the truth. Eventually, it is the man who gets things done, and who does not care for your nonsense, will be the one who does, and, since most of you will be too soft to even face the truth, you will be forced to face it. But you will probably just say, like your ilk has said before, “it wasn’t real socialism”.
This is a leftist website, that is designed specifically to promote socialism by attacking those who are moderate and not on the left. McConnell is nothing but garbage. He’s neither a friend of the right(who he has betrayed time and again) nor a friend of the left(unless he’s approving Biden’s judges, or carrying water for the democrats, or harpooning republicans somewhere).
I am putting this here because you already deleted three posts that pointed out your obvious liberal slant. Have fun, liberal!

I have not deleted any of your comments, not a single one. The weird thing is that you are the only one who’s comments needs to be approved every time, so you won’t see them right away. Go ahead and check, even though we don’t see eye-to-eye, I leave your comments where you put them. You must have gotten yourself put on the WordPress watch list for ranting on other blogs. As for the leftist slant, I don’t want to do that specifically, I guess that the left hides it better. The right is easier to catch because they put their disordered thinking in plain sight. Psychopathy is a neurological birth defect, why do you keep saying that it doesn’t exist? That’s like saying ADHD doesn’t exist. McConnell makes his psychopathy apparent loud and clear with his instant obstruction of policymaking process.
