In the Company of Cards, Ericka, a few notes June 15 reading
Bday Boy Blues, No Kings Consequences
I watched part of this reading and wanted to write about a few of the things she mentioned:
Question is:
1. How is the birthday boy feeling?
Answer: he got his party so he was happy. He's not feeling his best. He has heart trouble.
Today, the day after, he is better, having been shown some love.
Regarding feelings from the public, he doesn't understand why people don't like him. It isn't something he's going to spend much time on, though. "Turn the page, on to the next thing."
-------------------
The last paragraph is why I wanted to post this. His not dwelling on anything, such as why people don't like him, is something I have heard other readers say about him.
One of the other readers, I believe it was Corina, started to get inside his head and ran away fast. I think she said his head is full of misperceptions and unimportant stuff--garbage. She said she couldn't stand being there, not even for a second.
One time I saw him on television and started to tune into what was in his mind. I ran, too. No, just no. Not ever gonna' go there. The feeling I got was that I avoided a mud puddle.
If no one liked you, wouldn't you sorta' question it? I mean, if it were a few people, OK, fine. Not a big deal. But when massive numbers of people come out and claim they dislike you--even hate you--as a leader, wouldn't you think there would be a little soul searching? Not with him. Millions came out to express their POV and he gives it a few second's notice and is ready to move on to the next thing.
I know it's totally to be expected from a narcissist, but I still find it remarkable.
Ericka's next question is how will the No Kings demonstrations affect the political landscape?
Answer: It will force Democrats to be more decisive. They have to present a clear path.
For republicans, it will be a question: fish or cut bait. Do we cut him loose?
There's more but that's all I watched.

(43,528 posts)"Happy" with him probably doesn't resemble "happy" for anybody else.
Still, I think I'll run on over to Denise to find out what she has to say about that.

(4,723 posts)Been noticing that a lot in the clips that are posted about him lately. He always seemed to be doped up on something.

I'm not 100% sure on that, but I am watching and taking notes now. Corina thinks Putin will be totally disgusted with trump because of the lame-ass parade and the success of the No Kings. She says Putin thinks he's incompetent and a coward for not getting any of his stuff done.
Not sure if this is a prediction or an opinion. So far they're in the opinion section of the program, or at least as much as I can read from it.
I'll post later if I cover enough ground that it will be of interest.

(81,715 posts)Symbol for the kremlin. She thinks some jerk named medvedev is now running ruskie govt. If true, that could account for ruskies being fed up with kraznov.
Libby went so far as to say she has identified 3 or 4 doubles for pootin & experts have identified 7 doubles for pootin. Of course, the doubles could be due to his extrene paranoia.
I just watched most of MA. She is exceptionally concerned about the ME. She feels US could get sucked into it if Iran uses nuclear weapon & said she feels this is a real possibility. She also said Bibi might bomb a US base under the guise of Iran doing it in ordet to drag US into that war. I've never seen her so rattled about something.

(43,528 posts)Like a few days ago when Rosie was asked about trump's military parade, she said she "got nothing." Now she might have meant it would turn out to be a "nothing," but it also could have been that she wasn't seeing whether it would actually happen.

(43,528 posts)I got a big nothing. I interpreted it as trump not being able to stay in his stolen office for four years. I have known all along this was a big nothing, however, he sure did a great job of tearing our government to pieces and that part is no nothing.
Re his parade, if he's unhappy, I'm happy!

(81,715 posts)& after the media having screamed from the rooftops for days that we likely wouldn't know the winner of the presidential race for days or even weeks. Stunk to high heaven.
I agree that when Kraznov is unhappy, I'm happy.
