sure MM great idea. come on out to a protest near you. Hell bring the kids. There more than likely be lots of carnival rides and free food too. Of course if you are grown up and think about this mess for a minute you soon realize that these Soros paid protestors often turn violent and destructive....of course by that time your crazed lib reporter has left the scene and described as another peaceful protest. This video from LA late in the protest shows what libs hope to hide and lie about. Been spit on lately, hell of a way to try to feed your family, being spit on.
Wild video shows chaos in LA after 'No Kings' protest | Watch
Hey mc,
1. There were supposedly >3K separate demonstrations. What on the Almighty’s green earth does George Soros have to do with the decision by an estimated 9 million folks who attended these? Why are you mentioning Soros in this thread?
2. You showed one of >3K demonstrations with chaos. What about the other 3K+?
Thanks extremely much, mcfarm and Larry!
When millions of people protested peacefully across the country yesterday, THAT was the best that Fox could come up with?
It actually demonstrates the complete opposite of what you think that it does!
What you are stating is the exact opposite of the truth here, mcfarm. Do you really think that George Soros paid these people?
THEY are actually the patriotic Americans fighting to save democracy in our country. The insane propaganda YOU are getting from non serious, performing acts for money, like Mark Levin who sells snake oil, using choreographed presentations to steal his viewers intelligence is, ironically tricking people into believing that UP is DOWN and DOWN is UP.
https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/119065/
As if Donald Trump is NOT who he really is but is instead just too brilliant for people to really understand..........except for guys like Levin that supposedly really understand him and you need to tune into Mark Levin to get the interpretation right.
Let me be crystal clear as humanly possible to be crystal clear on this. Donald Trump is a a mentally ill psychopath with extreme delusions of grandeur that is totally driven by THE PATHOLOGICAL NEED to create over the top flattery, praise, fawning, brown-nosing and adulation around him.
The insatiable ego: why some people need constant flattery
So these individuals must continually look outward to know who they are. They need to see themselves reflected as great, admirable, brilliant, victorious, not because they genuinely believe these qualities reside within, but because they fear they do not. The mirror is not for preening; it is for survival.
Trump’s orbit reveals this pattern with almost clinical clarity. Aides who deliver praise are elevated. Those who offer truth are exiled. Advisors who flatter remain close; those who contradict are replaced. He constructs a world in which disagreement is treason and doubt is disloyalty. Only admiration feels safe. Only devotion feels tolerable. Only affirmation soothes the internal tremors.
For those who depend on flattery to prop up their self-worth, criticism is not merely unpleasant; it is existentially threatening. As noted before, praise is oxygen. Criticism is suffocation.
Over time, the leader becomes isolated inside a bubble of praise, precisely the condition that worsens the fragility at their core.
Again, Trump illustrates this structure with almost theatrical clarity. His firing patterns, midnight tirades, public feuds, impulsive purges, and explosive reactions to even the gentlest criticism reveal a psyche that experiences dissent not as democratic discourse but as a personal wound. Staff members routinely describe entering meetings prepared not with facts but with flattery, knowing that one misplaced comment could ignite hours of fury. Foreign leaders who discovered this dynamic exploited it; domestic rivals suffered beneath it.
In such environments, truth no longer functions as a shared standard; it becomes a provocation. Disagreement is interpreted not as a contribution but as betrayal. Correction feels like humiliation. Delay feels like defiance. Reality itself becomes negotiable. Those who tell inconvenient truths are dismissed as traitors; those who flatter are elevated as visionaries. Policy becomes indistinguishable from psychology. What the leader needs emotionally determines what the government attempts politically.
The consequences are far from abstract. Entire systems begin tiptoeing around one person’s fragility. Intelligence agencies soften their briefings. Legislators tend to mute criticism to avoid retribution. Diplomats recalibrate alliances around a leader’s vanity rather than strategic interest. Government becomes a mirror palace, calibrated to reflect only one person’s preferred image back to him. The irony is that leaders who demand constant praise believe they are projecting strength — yet everyone else can see that they are merely shielding weakness. Their power looks immense, but their emotional life is flimsy, breakable, desperate for applause. And because they cannot bear being ordinary, the country is forced to participate in a national performance designed to keep them feeling extraordinary.
This is the tragic nucleus of flattery-addicted leaders: people loudly performing invincibility while internally clinging to praise as if it were oxygen. They preside over a kingdom of mirrors — shimmering, reflective, and catastrophically fragile. And the public pays the price for the instability at the core, bearing the burden of governing around an ego that must be endlessly managed, appeased, and inflated. In the end, the nation bends more than the leader does, contorting itself around a single, unsteady psyche. And what begins as a personality disorder becomes a political disorder — one in which the country must continually shield its most powerful figure from the sharp edges of reality.

Netanyahu praises Trump's 'bold decision' to strike Iranian nuclear sites
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL4rmsJHX08
After watching that video, ask yourself how anything he said could be true if less than 9 months after it, Israel and the United States had to start a NEW war with Iran.
Bibi Netanyahu would make an excellent diabolical psychiatrist! He knows how Donald Trump's mind works and is using it ……exploiting it to the MAX to accomplish his own agenda in Iran.
++++++++++++++
Continuing from the article:
Flattery addiction is, in the end, both tragically human and painfully absurd. Tragic, because it reveals a psyche so precarious that it cannot stand without constant propping. Absurd, because the props must be rebuilt every day, like a stage set that collapses each night and must be reassembled before the curtain rises again. The flattery-addicted person must be inflated endlessly because they cannot tolerate being human-sized. Their emotional life becomes a loop: praise enters, but it never adheres. Approval is absorbed and immediately evaporates. The ego drinks but never hydrates. No amount of applause lasts until morning.
And the final irony, the one that turns this entire psychological structure from merely tragic to genuinely heartbreaking, is that those who need flattery the most intensely are the least capable of feeling loved. Love, unlike flattery, requires vulnerability. Love requires reciprocity, humility, the willingness to be seen without the armor of performance. Love demands an emotional nakedness that the flattery-addicted personality cannot risk. Praise reassures; love exposes. Praise stabilizes; love transforms. And transformation is precisely what they fear most.
Thus they remain trapped in a gilded psychological cage of their own making, surrounded by people but starving for connection, fed by applause but famished for affection. The world may see confidence, dominance, swagger, command. But beneath the spectacle lies a person who fears that without constant applause, they will collapse into the emptiness they have spent their entire lives trying not to feel.

mcfarm,
We have many commonalities as human beings that care about other human beings and even live in the same wonderful state of Indiana.
One of the strongest common denominators between us is our following the grain markets.
Food producers like you deserve tremendous recognition for the extremely high(price and production) risks and hard work that goes into farming. I know and have known dozens of farmers in this community. They have awesome families with the best work ethics and often wonderful spiritual belief systems. I taught many of their children in religious ed classes for 15 years and got to know them on a personal basis. They represent America's best.
One of my aims here is to provide reliable WEATHER and other information to help you guys.
HOWEVER, on Donald Trump we couldn't disagree more.
In this case, it's not just what we disagree on but OUR THINKING about it.
Your mindset is that you are right and think that your posts will convince others that you are right so that you can win a DEBATE, where one person is wrong and the other person(YOU) is right.
That is NOT where I'm coming from at all, mcfarm.
I'm encouraging you to express your opinions and totally understand why you have them.
Then, I'm SHOWING YOU THE TRUTH because I care about you, especially as my good MarketForum friend and Indiana pal.
Seriously, this is NOT a debate for me to win, mcfarm. I'm here to enlighten people with authentic, non political, objective truths using empirical data, evidence and doing it via the scientific method(that first tries to prove myself wrong) while learning massive amounts of things myself.
I look forward to times of being wrong myself because that's the best opportunity for ME to learn. I also realize that most of that was in Greek to most people/readers who are driven by their human cognitive bias and need to have what they THINK they know reinforced at echo chambers.
I do give you tremendous credit in still coming here and especially expressing MAGA views openly so we can discuss them. MarketForum is an ANTI echo chamber.
Opinions vs authentic facts
https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/118642/
It may feel like I'm picking on you, mcfarm but you'll note that I treated patrick(who is a lib) the same way on a Joe Biden blunder that started the war in Ukraine and there's nobody, anywhere that defended Donald Trump more during the 2.5 year Witch Hunt of Bob Mueller's blatantly corrupt investigation.
Which, no doubt proves my objective, independent authenticity.

Hey mc,
Do you not like the fact that millions of Americans exercised their freedom to peacefully protest yesterday? Do you think that Americans have a right to protest? Are you glad we have this right? Is this a good thing? Would you prefer it be like Iran where the only protests tolerated by the mullahs are those supporting them?
Donald Trump made it especially clear what he thinks about people's right to disagree with him below:
trump video pooping on protestors
This video was not some random far left person making fun of Donald Trump. It was DONALD TRUMP that posted it because he's extremely proud of his pathological mentality and hate for people that didn't vote for him and hate for less fortunate people. He wants to spread his toxic thinking to others.
Actually, he's already captured tens of million in his MAGA cult and even some of them are catching on and being repulsed and bailing, including the QUEEN of MAGA.
Donald Trump seeks vengeance against people that disagree with him, who he hates so much. Many that disagree with him in the past-including trying to re-litigate the 2020 election because he is so delusional, so convinced that his enemies stole it from him that he will put it above all else . He created that video to express his hatred and to simulate with graphics an expression of his desire for vengeance against people that disagree with him because his pathologically thinking mind lives in a manufactured world were Donald Trump must be exalted and adulated. Doing the opposite causes an emotional, knee jerk reaction of hate directed at those who don't conform to the manufactured world of Donald Trump!
He is constantly abusing his power to PUNISH people that disagree with him or that didn't vote for him because he hates them so much.
mcfarm,
I get why you feel this way. Soros does in fact spend billions for liberal causes which do have an impact.
But the person that spent the most money recently to influence politics in the United States was trying to have an impact FOR YOUR party.
Why is that ok but its not ok for Soros to do it?
What if Joe Biden had appointed Soros to a new governmental department that he created solely for Soros to impose his liberal belief system on our government?
That's what Donald Trump did with Elon Musk.
Your source is just not being honest by telling us just the part of the story they want people to think is the ENTIRE story.
