I get so tired of listening to the pundits and reporters on the TV stating that there is no logic to the assassination of Suleimani. There is a logic to it. I flabbergasted that it isn’t obvious to everyone. Apparently, everyone isn’t reading Ye Olde Blogge because if they had been, they would know the logic.

The Logic

It goes like this: the Ol’ Pussy Grabber don’t do nothing what don’t benefit him personally. You wanna know the logic behind the illegal war crime that he just committed? Look no further than how it benefits him personally. When you do, you find that we ain’t talking about no smoking gun emails revealing that he (a) knew stopping the dispersal of funds to Ukraine was illegal, (b) he personally ordered the stoppage, and (c) there was a clear quid pro quo of bribery no more. We also ain’t talking about whether we should have witnesses and documents at no Senate impeachment trial and whether these emails are smoking gun evidence of obstruction of Congress. Because who tries and, possibly, removes a sitting president during a war? No one, duh!

How do I know this? How can I state his logic with such confident impunity? He’s a fucking narcissist! It is all you need to know about him. Let’s quickly review the signs, symptoms, and consequences of narcissistic personality disorder, AGAIN, for those in the back who are too busy checking their social media on their phones to get the first four hundred times.

I rail against the disaffected, disinterested, disconnected iNdEpEnDeNt voter all the time, but sometimes I think the mEdIa is just as fucking bad or a card carrying member. Geez, these people are more irritants than anything else.

The Signs of Narcissism

From a post on 23 June 20-fucking-16, the signs of narcissistic personality disorder as applied to the Ol’ Pussy Grabber:

• …you know when you’re dealing with a narcissist because that person put the ASS in asshole. How many times have you heard about something the Ol’ Pussy Grabber has said or did and thought, “What a first-class asswipe!”? A lot, amirite?
• A narcissist is a personality type that fails to distinguish the self from external objects. As in the Ol’ Pussy Grabber don’t distinguish himself from the nation or the gub’ment. His needs and the nations needs, same same as they say here in Asia. He can’t distinguish himself from external objects, people, or things. It is all him all the time. Remember that.
• Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence (sic) lies a fragile self-esteem that’s vulnerable to the slightest criticism (from Diseases and Conditions Narcissistic personality disorder). All that shit sounds about right for the Ol’ Pussy Grabber and goes beyond the vernacular assumption that a narcissist only cares about himself, and, we see this every damn day with the Ol’ Pussy Grabber! Every belittling tweet and comment displays his lack of empathy and fragile self-esteem.
• A narcissist reacts with disappointment, unhappiness, and anger if special favors, exceptions, or admiration are not given — that’s what puts the ASS in asshole (Diseases and Conditions Narcissistic personality disorder). Does the Ol’ Pussy Grabber think that special favors and exceptions should be afforded to him? He sure does. Is he pissed because he don’t get enough credit for all of his great accomplishments — more than any other president has ever achieved? — he sure does.

To sum up, the sign that you’re dealing with a narcissist is that they put the ASS in asshole. Is the Ol’ Pussy Grabber an ASShole? He bet your sweet bung cherry he is.

The Symptoms of Narcissism

Here are the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder from the same post on 23 June 20-fucking-16:

• Having an ego so bloated that you think you are more important than you are
• Deluding yourself that you are exceptional even if you haven’t ever done anything exceptional except being an exceptional ASShole
• Lying through your teeth about everything you’ve done and your talents and your skills
• Fapping to fantasies of your own success, power, brilliance, beauty
• Needing to have your ass-kissed constantly
• Needing special favors and exceptions to be made for you because you are some kind of a special fragile snowflake
• Expecting others to ask how high after you’ve screamed jump at them and like it!
• Taking advantage of others to get what you want
• Being an insensitive asshole unable to acknowledge the emotions or needs of others or even that others exist outside of the purpose of meeting your needs
• Seeing everyone around you as being green with envy for you and your bullshit
• Being a stuck-up shit like some little queen bee high school mean girl

Damn me to living in the Trump WH if that don’t sound like the Ol’ Pussy Grabber through and through. No further comment needed.

The Consequences of Narcissism

So, what are the consequences of having elected such a narcissist to office? Here are some predictions from the same 23 June 20-fucking-16 article:

• …more extraverted, at least at first — How much time does the Ol’ Pussy Grabber spend at Mar-a-Lago?
• …less agreeable, read that ASShole…pathological liars (Campbell, et al., 2002) Has there been a less agreeable motherfucker elected to office, ever? Okay, maybe #MoscowMitch.
• …impulsive, that is valuing short-term rewards at the expense of long-term costs (Vazire & Funder, 2006) Jesus give me a Valium enema, is it even possible to have an argument against this one?
• …fantasizing about academic success, which explains their disinterest in real live academic stuff (Robins & Beer, 2001). Does the Ol’ Pussy Grabber read anything or pay attention during his daily brief? No. ‘Nuff said.
• Ha! The more self-importance the narcissist feels, the more likely he or she was academically absent, meaning did not learn a damn thing in school. Can a narcissist learn? No, no he cannot.
• If they can do something, it is divide and conquer. The fuck you say.
• In addition to being overly sensitive cry babies, poor listeners, blackholes of empathy, and highly competitive, they are averse to mundane details. In retrospect, this detail explains so much.

The Predictions

Now for some of my more specific predictions of what the administration would be like:

• It will have the paranoia of Nixon, the ineffectiveness of Harding, sheer callous cruelty of Jackson, and the racism of Wilson. One of my most favorite lines ever written and one of my most accurate predictions, only it is far worse than we ever imagined it could be.
• [N]o where in that mix will there be any clear policies or agendas to pursue because Mr. Trump is completely empty and devoid of anything other than a slavish devotion to his own ego and utter fear of the narcissistic wound. Is that one spot on or what?

Jesus copulating on the cross, this entire mess was completely predictable from the decent down the golden escalator. Does anyone in the media use any of this information very effectively? Hell no. They are as culpable for this shithole of dumpster fire as the Ol’ Pussy Grabber and the Repubes are.

The real question the media should be asking isn’t about the logic or reasons of assassinating Suleimani, but the process that was used to get there. Specifically, they should be asking what role Putin played in the action since it plays into Putin’s designs for the region and world. They should be asking about the role that distracting us from impeachment and the damning evidence of the recently released emails played. Instead, they treat it like business as usual. At the very least, they could be noting that when an administration is as dishonest as this one, there is no reason to take them at their word for anything.

When all the branches of government fail us and the fourth branch, the press, fails us, too, it is up to us, We the fucking People, to save our own asses if we want to keep our democracy.
