(112,849 posts)He obviously did not have educational challenges, but social interactions, I would say his cringe reactions are pretty consistent.

(759 posts)you dont get much exposure and anyone can do it. With his roles, Rubio will end up much more impressive and prepared to be the nominee.
And no, Im not endorsing or impressed with Rubio in any way. I just think hes much better positioned with primary voters.

(2,647 posts)and by the way, what is it with these Trump appointees, hirelings, and VP with the heavy makeup and Botox shite? Like the new political drag-queen vibe. As a woman raised in the 60s, I never wore that much sh*t on my face but of course that was another time before these toxic fem/male cultures took over.
Now don't get me wrong, I loved the 'drag queen' looks of the 60's to 80'r rocker sh*t but they were playing to the crowd and freedom of expression times, not these troglodytes of the far right. Everyone knew what was up back then, these creeps are intellectually too crimpled to even see themselves. It is like every day is a new Twilight Zone episode.

(16,586 posts)I was and am very fond of my parents and had a very happy childhood. That is how I have escaped turning into a damaged human being (in spite of annoying drivel). I have overall been lucky wrt humans. Machines and their unseen creepy makers otoh
I have casually wondered if this is why these creeps are the way they are..shrug..

The New York Times report suggested that Elon was well aware of the accusations against his father as relatives wrote to him for help.
Elon Musks post on dad Errol
The Tesla billionaire has made no secret of his estrangement from his father, whom he once called a terrible human being. In a 2022 social media post, he accused his father of doing bad things. The post has now resurfaced on X, gaining a sinister overtone in light of the charges against Errol Musk.

shares.
In some ways, Carlsons mother represents everything he despises: San Francisco, counterculture, drug abuse. Perhaps its no wonder, then, that he doesnt much want to talk about herunless its in negative terms.

(4,394 posts)the type of children whom the women decided should be "culled" before adulthood,
before they could grow up to be the kind of men
that it appeared they were destined to become!!!
(Basically bullies and bloodthirsty despots--- Donald Trump is of course the greatest example!)
((The Kevin Costner movie was only very loosely based upon the original book--
and never came close to exploring any of the deepest themes of the book,
such as this one))
