    I wonder if this guy ever thinks about whether his actions will ever catch up with him and what that might look like. He must know hes lying through his teeth every time he opens his trap. Regardless of whether he’s convinced himself of some arbitrary greater good, he must know how much his actions negatively affect his direct constituents, and the wider US and global populations. He must be aware that regardless of claims of greater good, the legal tightrope he’s walking is precarious.

    He either has an outstanding ability to suppress what must be constant internal screaming highlighting extreme personal risk, or he’s so fucking dense that he hasn’t even considered it. It seems impossible that someone could fail upwards so extraordinarily so it makes me think the former must be true and in that case how the fuck does he sleep? How does he stave of total nervous breakdown? Why would you put yourself through that to achieve so much misery?

    Maybe this comment more belongs in shower thoughts …

      It’s profitable and ego boosting, and he doesn’t care about anyone but himself, like the rest of people in positions of powers in certain societies (I mean, there’s always some in every society, but in some it is sadly all of them).
