Gaslighting
"A form of intimidation or psychological abuse, sometimes called Ambient Abuse where false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their own memory, perception and quite often, their sanity. The classic example of gaslighting is to switch something around on someone that you know they're sure to notice, but then deny knowing anything about it, and to explain that they "must be imagining things" when they challenge these changes.
A more psychological definition of gaslighting is "an increasing frequency of systematically withholding factual information from, and/or providing false information to, the victim - having the gradual effect of making them anxious, confused, and less able to trust their own memory and perception."
Is it right for the President of the Untied States to spend every day running a political campaign? Wasn't Tweety elected to run the government, not a campaign?
Tweety uses his position like it is a toy box. Tweety keeps using a toy until he's bore or needs to distract us.
"Donald Trump Launches Operation Midterms Diversion"
By John Cassidy October 30, 2018
"By early afternoon on Tuesday . . . Fox and MSNBC—had reverted to subjects more to Trump’s liking: immigration, the southern border, and the allotment of U.S. citizenship.
CNN, to its credit, was resisting the President’s effort to dictate the news agenda and stayed focused [Corrected typo . . . ] on Pittsburgh, where the funerals of some of the victims of Saturday’s dreadful mass shooting were taking place, as the city was bracing for a visit from the President and his wife, Melania."
The man is clever, and evil, uncaring, dedicated to winning his p olitical situation. Tweety used an interview to bring a new immigration issue to the news, citizenship for babies born in America.
Them he announced troops for the border.
"On Monday, he announced he was sending more than five thousand active-duty troops to the southernmost reaches of Arizona and California, supposedly to protect the border with Mexico from a so-called “invasion” by Central American migrants."
There are limits to the deployment, of course, thank goodness.
Tweety is the master of distraction!
". . . the caravan of migrants and would-be refugees that formed in Honduras and recently traversed into southern Mexico is still a long way away: about a thousand miles from the U.S. border.
If and when the caravan gets that far, there is every reason to believe that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection—a civilian agency with sixty thousand employees and almost a century of experience—will be able to deal with the challenge of intercepting and processing its members."
More.
"The Posse Comitatus Act, which was passed in 1878, places strict limits on using the armed services as part of civilian law enforcement. In a briefing on Monday, Air Force General Terrence J. O’Shaughnessy, the head of U.S. Northern Command, said his troops would abide by the Posse Comitatus Act and concentrate on support duties, such as hardening border posts and transporting C.P.B. agents."
More.
"Of course, the truth is that the launching of a full-scale military operation had nothing to do with the requirements on the border and everything to do with the fact that the midterms are just seven days away. "
The sad truth is the worst people are not in the caravan, they are the President, the VP, and Congress, doing bad things to America, and for their selfish ignorant interests.
"Trump doesn’t give a fig about the accuracy of his claims, of course. He wants to increase Republican voter turnout next week. He has a low opinion of the party’s voters. And he thinks the best way to get them to the polls is to raise the spectre of white America being swamped by non-white immigrants. So, with the support of Mike Pence, Lindsey Graham, and many other Republicans, he’s going at it—pledging to send in the army, rewrite the Constitution, and who knows what else in the days ahead. As he said, there are some “very bad people.” But they aren’t in the caravan."
Bad people doing bad things in politics, the GOP and the President.
