"Trump’s ‘secretary of retribution’ has a ‘target list’ of 350 people he wants arrested"

No, this is not a joke. And it is to be expected. As many people already are familiar with how #Hitler suppressed the opposition 2), I'd like to focus on #Soviet #Russia first. That same time period of the 1930's provides insights into a potential 2nd term for...

Though the idea that someone aligned with Trump and the GOP would think of planning and executing (pun not intended) something this horrible and violent is repugnant, it no longer shocks me.

And that is depressing is deeply distressing.

Me, too.
Did you see Ivan's bio (2nd link?) --He's also extremely competent.

IMO, both TFG and Ivan are Dark Tetrads 1) They relish making others suffer who oppose them.

If TFG remains power, he will carry out his repeated threats. With Ivan's professionalbackgroundand preparations, this will be done highly effectively.

You are very welcome.

I had not known the term until The Atlantic article last year.

When you search for "Dark Triad" and "narcissist," you will find several publications.

A business contact of mine who deals with their victims professionally, says that they cannot be "cured." It's either avoidance or detailed counter strategies.
