It is estimated that approximately 25-70% of men with alcohol use disorder also have antisocial personality disorder. This is characterized by a disregard of others rights, lying, manipulation, arrogance, lack of responsibility and impulsivity. It is a chronic condition and, generally, refractory to treatment.
A history of alcohol use disorder should be a red flag for anyone seeking a leadership position and these applicants should be carefully assessed for signs of antisocial behavior.
Most disturbing thing about Hegs isn't Hegs himself. Although he's really effing disturbing.
It's the entire GOP infrastructure, incl Fox News, media apologists like Maggie Haberman and Scott Jennings. magnates like Bezos, and other goons who rally behind him, excusing/rationalizing/amplifying his dysfunction, even if the policies cause them personal pain.
Guys like Michael Smerconish who normalize him, asking impossibly stupid, both sides questions to his readers like "Is it possible these tariffs are good for us?". The Chris Cillizzation of our media is nearly complete
When I see Trump speak, I'm always more bothered by the people behind him, nodding, clapping, whoo-hooing, than I am by Trump himself.
Trump and Hegseth are just two really bad guys. But we'd never have seen either of them on such a big klieg lighted stage without the soulless dumbbells who've compromised their integrity to support racist, fascist, dishonest, destructive men and women supporting their every ounce of sewage. THAT is by far the bigger problem.
Sure. And you could have said the same thing about the goons behind Nixon, Reagan and both Bushes. It comes with the turf. You could also permanently disparage Bush-era converts like Nicolle Wallace, Tim Miller and Rick Wilson, for that matter. Cuz evil is evil and enabling it once is a mortal sin on their eternal souls (or something like that).
Purity is hard.
I wouldn't put Maggie Haberman anywhere near in the same bucket with Scott Jennings. Trump has a longstanding love-hate relationship with Mags and craves her approval; I find her CNN segments insightful since she's been on the Trump beat since forever. But I don't look to her for opinion journalism, either. She's a beat reporter.
Bezos has become beyond repulsive, but he did enable a great run of prizewinning journalism in The Washington Post when he just wanted to own it as a trophy property. I don't recommend subscribing, but it still doesn't mean that every last political piece in WaPo is utter trash now, though. Same with the NYT. Olbermann still quotes from them occasionally.
Smerconish and Cillizza are irrelevancies. It's like bashing Chris Cuomo, LOL
The Chris Cillizzation of our media is _not_ complete. There are plenty other competing opinionators out there. My YouTube feed is blissfully free of bothsiderists.
The most terrifying thing about experiencing an earthquake, is the absolute lack of control one feels when everything, especially what's under your feet, shakes. Sometimes, in this age of Trump, I get a feeling that's similar. That lack of control. Everything is shaking, could possibly collapse under my feet and there is nothing I can do about it.
It's almost like hiring the day drunk from a weekend news show to lead the Defense Department was a bad idea...... Too bad nobody warned us ahead of time.....
I can’t stand geriatric frat boys.

Which used to be _de rigeur_ for _all_ government positions back in the olden times when the Constitution actually meant something.
Kegseth may one of the best examples ever of the Peter principal at work

Reposted cuz hey it's relevant:
A FOX entertainer named Hegseth
With vaporous spewings of keg breath
Fired up on his phone
With a head like a bone
A convo which likely will beg death

The good news is that he’s not a dry drunk. The bad news is that he’s still an imbibing one.
