Psychological projection is a defence mechanism of alterity concerning “inside” content mistaken to be coming from the “outside” Other. […] In its malignant forms, it is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against disowned and highly negative parts of the self by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others, breeding misunderstanding and causing untold interpersonal damage. A bully may project their own feelings of vulnerability onto the target, or a person who is confused may project feelings of confusion and inadequacy onto other people.
[…]
Projection tends to come to the fore in normal people at times of personal or political crisis and is commonly found in narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder or paranoid personalities.
voilà!

Republicans, thy name is projection. Sort of the equivalent of direct personal whataboutism. In SFB’s case it’s more like “I’m rubber and you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks on you.” Of course what he spews is typically many times worse than whatever was said about him. His Pelosi comments are a great example. He’s such a despicable prick.

The “shocking and totally unexpected” loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to the our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden. Many of our players were openly hostile to America – No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close. WOKE EQUALS FAILURE. Nice shot Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!! MAGA”
That rant was also dripping with misogyny, and a big dose of homophobia. He always sounds unhinged, but when you dissect it, he’s just an evil-genius at messaging to his unhinged hoard. Orange Adolf knows his audience. MAGAts.
This is where Dems need to do a better job. There are folks who will die for that orange guy, literally. They are lost causes. But tRUMPsky always makes so much noise that it’s hard to hear the truth above the clatter. The Lincoln Project is helpful for anyone with a tiny bit of soul they haven’t given to the cult leader. What we also need are folks messaging about what’s going well that is to Biden and other Dems, and all of the dangerous rhetoric coming from the GQP who are still willing to support the orange monster.
The messaging surrogates going after Orange Adolf need to be able to operate on his level of cruelty. And that’s where the eight-graders come in. Both they and tRUMPsky have a cruel streak and tiny hands. For every rant, they parrot his rant in a million ways, and cut him down to size. At the very least, it’ll make him lose his sh/t a little more every day.

Projection, he’s a master of projection:
When he accuses you, his “thinking” is askew.
All he says goes in the opposite direction…
trait of those who never do self-inspection.
It is just as if he had a brain infection—
He calls you “ho,” it means him though.
Projection’s his only strong suit, projection.
If he says you’re untrue, it means him not you.
You do not have to do any deflection;
because of him all slurs are a reflection.
All he says is worthy of rejection.
But does he know he’s a project pro?
Projection, a master of projection;
his thinking is askew, he means him and not you.
Projection, a master of projection;
this trait is nothing new for those whose views are skewed.
Projection, he’s avatar of projection;
nothing he says is true when it’s concerning you.
Reflections, his epithets are reflections
of him and not of you, because he’s askew.

Deranged Jack Smith is going before his number one draft pick, the Judge of his “dreams” (WHO MUST BE RECUSED!), in an attempt to take away my FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS – This, despite the fact that he, the DOJ, and his many Thug prosecutors, are illegally leaking, everything and anything, to the Fake News Media!!!
BiD, right you are, though you can say equal part evil-imbecile.
He started this gig as a reality TV show but because the ratings were so good, it’s now the real him.

“Republican presidential candidates are increasingly making Vice President Kamala Harris their prime target as they jockey for attention from voters, focusing on the No. 2 Democrat rather than President Joe Biden.”
A) POTUS Joe is perfectly capable of completing a second term. He doesn’t have a daily IV of cheeseburgers like someone else, he has a loving wife and strong social connections, and he’s got good genes.
B) Um, since SCOTUS reversed ROE and women are livid about their rights being taken away, VP Harris would be very popular if it came to that.
The only folks remaining in the GQP’s tiny, angry pup tent are racists, misogynists, homophobes, and (this might sound redundant) the poorly educated who are mostly Christo-fascists.
Biden/Harris 2024!
ps – RonDuh Satanist aka Bootsy , knows perfectly well how to pronounce VP Harris’ first name.
He uses her first name, not as a matter of familiarity with her, but as a sign of disrespect, i.e, misogyny.
He then shows further disrespect by mispronouncing it, repeatedly.
Now, did I intentionally not use his title, misspell and mangle his name, and make fun of his weird, white boots in this post? Yes. Yes, I did because I don’t respect him.
Looks like judge cannon stepped on her bippy this morning. Jack Smith had filed two sealed thingies over the weekend, and miss dum-dum unsealed them this morning. Something about more investigations and grand juries into the orange idiot. I wonder if she did that on purpose instead of asking the prosecutor to stop by her chambers and explain there before letting stupid know what is going on?
This does answer my question at the start which was about other locales, such as a coffin, where sfb might how stashed stuff.
Uh, he voted against it

Birmingham may be Swayne’s best j/d for being elected and not having her status as a trans woman being a hard no among the voters. Even so I’m not sure JeffCo voters in general are that open minded, but I hope to be proven wrong.
Ms. Bronc, you have a link to the article about Cannon unsealing Smith’s weekend filings? My Google search came up empty.
Sorry, I am still out in space. Mueller She Wrote on twit,

No, I shouldn’t have a protective order placed on me because it would impinge upon my right to FREE SPEECH. Deranged Jack Smith and the Department of Injustice should, however, because they are illegally “leaking” all over the place.
WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE IS DOING TO ME IS THE SAME THING DONE BY THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT IT WILL NOT WORK. WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Aileen Cannon, the federal judge presiding over Donald Trump’s trial on charges related to keeping classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, appeared to disclose an ongoing grand jury investigation in a court filing today, the Guardian’s Hugo Lowell reports:

“…Fed Governor Michelle Bowman warned that multiple rate hikes could be required to get inflation back to healthy levels.”
No! Are you high? Just, no.
“After Friday’s “Goldilocks” jobs report — which showed hiring in July wasn’t too hot, but also not too cold — Goldman Sachs economists wrote in a note to clients that they continue to anticipate the Fed will “decide that a final hike is unnecessary” due to cooling inflation.”
The Fed is going to push more folks into unemployment with their little game. And, no one, no one making these decisions will ever fell the slightest impact from what they do.
Tax corporations, tax billionaires, strengthen unions, make it easier to start small businesses, and for heaven’s sake, do something about affordable housing by preventing companies from buying houses to turn a profit (it’s not just individuals flipping a house here and there, it’s big business), and reigning in what landlords can do to their tenants.
I’m not sure she unsealed the documents – She denied the Motion to file them under seal and struck the Motion from the docket. The Rule regarding a Motion to file sealed documents, if denied, the Order is stayed for 14 days to allow the material to be withdrawn or the order to be appealed. Her Order didn’t fall neatly under the requirements of the Rule so we’ll have to wait and see how it plays out. One thing I’m pretty certain of – if Dumbass doesn’t become President again in January 2025 we’ll still be talking about Cannon and her stupid rulings.
If SFB wants the judge in NY to recuse herself, then the judge in FL should go, too.
the judge in fla is a trump appointee the judge in dc is not
