Trump’s True Height Exposed as 6’3” Prince William Towers Over Him

Nordberg said:
It is sad that a 79-year-old man still judges people by their height and hires staff and administration officials on looks. What kind of strange and childish thoughts guide this crazy man? He is stuck at 16-year-old bully stage. He never grew out of it.

Thread 'What kind of person surrounds themselves with sycophants and needs constant affirmation?'

Asked of Google AI: What kind of person surrounds themselves with sycophants and needs constant affirmation? Most adults can correctly guess many of the answers.

A:
A person who surrounds themselves with sycophants and needs constant affirmation is often deeply insecure, masking their feelings of inadequacy with an inflated ego. This behavior is a prominent trait of narcissism, but it can also be linked to other factors like low self-esteem, anxiety, and a history of trauma.

Narcissism and insecurity
The defining characteristic of individuals who demand constant...

lol. Duncle Thinskin now tryin' to cast shade on someone not even in the conversation. <smh>

I'll let you have the "last word" here, Thinskin... Do your best. If you make it funny I'll even say so. This, however, was as much weaksause as the republicans winging about tan suits and sleeveless dresses.

Oh Damo. You know I can't see your alter-ego's posts, but I can certainly see who "Likes" you. No doubt you'll disagree, but IMO, that counts as being in the conversation. :thup:

"I'll let you have the "last word" here, Thinskin" = code for "I'll be running away for now." LOL

  • Adolf Hitler (Nazi Germany): Hitler created a culture of extreme loyalty, where dissent was not only forbidden but punishable by death. His Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, was a master sycophant who cultivated a state-sponsored echo chamber and promoted Hitler as "Der Führer," or the all-knowing leader.
  • Vladimir Putin (Russia): Modern examples exist as well. When he ordered the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Putin reportedly surrounded himself with "yes men" who reinforced his personal view that Ukraine would be swiftly defeated. The resulting military failures and ongoing conflict demonstrate the dangers of insulating a leader from honest feedback.
  • Idi Amin (Uganda): Amin was known for extreme narcissism and paranoia, which led him to kill anyone who challenged his power. His regime was propped up by henchmen and enablers, while his disregard for reality resulted in the deaths of up to half a million Ugandans.
  • General Douglas MacArthur (U.S.): Early in World War II, MacArthur was praised by U.S. media, which led to a bloated ego and a circle of "yes men". As the war progressed, his decisions became increasingly reckless, and he pushed away competent leaders who offered dissenting opinions. U.S. command was hesitant to remove him due to his public image, demonstrating how flattery can protect even an incompetent leader.
  • Lyndon B. Johnson (U.S.): During his presidency, Johnson was known to have a low tolerance for dissent, particularly regarding the Vietnam War. He dismissed aides who disagreed with him, leading staffers to form a secret "nongroup" to discuss their concerns. Many historians believe that a willingness to hear dissenting opinions could have saved thousands of lives.
Why this dynamic is dangerous
History is filled with examples that demonstrate the peril of this dynamic, as a leader's demand for constant praise can be catastrophic for those they govern.
  • Inability to adapt: A leader in an echo chamber of flattery loses touch with reality and cannot adapt to changing circumstances.
  • Bad decisions: When advisors fear offering critical feedback, the leader makes choices based on flawed or incomplete information.
  • Failure and chaos: From military blunders to economic ruin, a "yes-man" culture sets the leader and their organization up for failure, often with devastating consequences.

It's so funny because trump's just like all the dictator that make up legends about themselves. N. Korea has a legend that Jung has never taken a shit - I am NOT making that up!

They couldn't do that, there is no due cause strong enough to request that, I could see them trying if the site was somewhere you went to discuss the people you want to kill or something, but this is a place where folks rarely break laws and nobody is discussing such activity,

Kimmel didn't break any laws either. Who's going to stop TACO from identifying online posters who criticize him so his administration can doxx those people so they lose their jobs and fear for their lives? That's exactly where we're headed.

Kimmel wasn't arrested, nobody asked for a list of their employees, no memo was even sent. When ABC fires someone, it isn't an act of government even if Carr was on a podcast doing his best impression of "mob boss"...

Yep. I also recall a case where a pagan h.s. student was told he/she (can't recall now) could not wear a pentacle necklace while Xtian kids could wear crosses/crucifixes. They won her case.

Google AI:


The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) represents Christians in cases involving freedom of speech, religion, and association, often defending religious individuals' rights to public expression or challenging laws that favor one religion over others. Examples include defending a Christian organization's right to display religious advertisements, supporting Christian families challenging mandatory Ten Commandments displays in schools, and securing accommodations for Christian prisoners. While the ACLU's advocacy is broad, it includes defending the rights of Christian individuals and groups in various contexts.
Cases where the ACLU represents Christians:

  • Freedom of Speech and Expression:
    • The ACLU has represented a conservative Christian group in defending their First Amendment right to display a flag in front of Boston's City Hall.
    • The ACLU and its Louisiana affiliate filed a lawsuit against a law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, a case that included Christian plaintiffs arguing it violates the Establishment Clause.
    • The ACLU of Pennsylvania defended a homeless ministry and a church in a case involving zoning regulations for a soup kitchen and shelter.
    • The ACLU of Pennsylvania also assisted a non-denominational Christian couple in obtaining self-uniting marriage licenses after the county restricted them.
    • The ACLU has supported cases of Christian prisoners seeking religious accommodations, such as ensuring access to religious services and diets.

The rights of all should be equally defended.

The RW argument that the rights of others are being asserted over their own, while often widely exaggerated, is not completely without merit.

Perceptions are mostly opinions, but results are facts. The fact is that the average education of Americans is falling. How can the US effectively compete in the global market if most of our citizens are ignorant and poorly trained?

Kimmel was suspended because he hurt the Fat Fuck's feelings. Surely you understand the implications. The federal military is deployed in American cities. You should be able to see where this is headed.

I do, and I think Carr is a moron. I also think Kimmel was going to be fired without that idiot on the podcast putting on his best mob boss face. Nobody in this administration has ever been accused of understanding how to get the hell out of the way and let the private sector do its thing.

You "think" that without any evidence. Kimmel was blindsided. He was punished immediately after the feds threatened ABC. It was retaliation because he makes fun of TACO. Neither you, this website, nor anyone else is protected constitutionally anymore.

I do think that though not without evidence, it's called an educated opinion. We talk about those things on this board all the time... the affiliates had already told ABC they would not show his show before Carr pulled his mob boss impression on the podcast.

The Nexstar/Tegna merger was announced before the episode. That's when the FCC threatened ABC.
