“Learn to say ‘no’ without explaining yourself.” [Unknown]

So much has been written — including at this website — on how to avoid the toxic influences of a narcissist, a sociopath or what-have-you.

Really: This is just about all you need.

If you need or want the loyalty of someone in some context — personally, professionally — that’s one thing. Then you WANT to give them your reasoning, even if they don’t ask for it.

But if someone demands your reasoning as an entitlement … watch out!

Biden is now saying that if his Democratic Congress doesn’t give him everything he wants on the climate and abortion, then he’s going to mandate it by executive order.

Does anyone know that this is the definition of a DICTATORSHIP?

America’s system of government was premised on checks and balances; on the distribution of power.

The radical left, now speaking through the hapless and demented Biden (their puppet), now says, “Our way is the ONLY way. When courts or Congress support our goals, it’s the law of the land — and woebetide anyone who disobeys! But when courts or Congress defy our goals, then we are all insurrectionists now.”

It’s madness on a scale never seen before in our country’s history, and perhaps never fully anywhere.

While it’s true that Biden can only get away with so much, since executive orders can be undercut by lawsuits or sheer defiance, the lawlessness and authoritarianism fostered by this attitude is the most anti-American thing we have ever seen in America.

And just think: Biden and the left are acting PRECISELY like they always predicted Trump would act — and rarely, if ever, did. They are the dictators. And they think anyone who disagrees with them ond ANYTHING is a dictator. Including people who simply want the freedom to be left the hell alone.

I like people who buck the system. Individualists. I often warn people: “Somewhere along the way, someone is going to tell you, ‘There is no “I” in team.’ What you should tell them is, “Maybe not. But there is an ‘I’ in independence, individuality and integrity.”

As her husband’s faux presidency plummets to the ground politically, regime “First Lady” Jill Biden whines how Joe “had so many hopes.” I guess this translates to: “Joe had SO hoped to annihilate America by now. And worse still: Someone else may get the credit!”

What an unspeakable POS. They are a criminal family, in charge of the gang of amoral mobsters we still call a government.

Mobsters ultimately eat their own, and each other, as we all know. The Bidens will probably fall victim to this; but the awful truth remains that we live under the rule, whim and arbitrary power of mobsters.
