Republicans are clueless when it comes to governing...I'm really surprised with all the rhetoric of the last 8 years they would a game plan on what needs to be done..But everything they seem to do, is in haste and to benefit the few...The invasion of Iraq was done without thought..Bush wars, military spending, tax cut, and repatriation, and done without thought...19 trillion of our debt is due to the last recession and Bush tax cuts..They are completely clueless..

Their only game plan is to dismantle what ever Democrats have done on healthcare and the environment, cut taxes for the rich..The have no plan for governing..

So after healthcare, business tax cut will be the focus..Why are businesses slated to pay a lower tax rate than me???..Why should Apple Inc. pay a lower rate than me??

If you spent more time bribing politicians and offering them jobs, and less time complaining about them, maybe they would give you some tax cuts too

Well seems like the talk is that they need to repeal Obamacare to pay for corporate tax cuts, so healthcare is still on the table...

Exactly- everyone can be a d*** at times, but at the end of the day most of us stop when people are going to get hurt. Politics tends to attract people who are on the psychopathic and sociopathic spectrum- very low to non existent empathy, obsession with having power over others etc, which is why some of them are fine pushing his measure through.

Basic humanity merely benefited by accident from ugly local politics.

Politics tends to attract people who are on the psychopathic and sociopathic spectrum- very low to non existent empathy, obsession with having power over others etc, which is why some of them are fine pushing his measure through.

Here are the three traits of psychopathy, does it describe anyone we know?

Boldness. Low fear including stress-tolerance, toleration of unfamiliarity and danger, and high self-confidence and social assertiveness. The PCL-R measures this relatively poorly and mainly through Facet 1 of Factor 1. Similar to PPI Fearless dominance. May correspond to differences in the amygdala and other neurological systems associated with fear.[1][2] Psychopaths are notorious for their lack of fear.[13]

Disinhibition. Poor impulse control including problems with planning and foresight, lacking affect and urge control, demand for immediate gratification, and poor behavioral restraints. Similar to PCL-R Factor 2 and PPI Impulsive antisociality. May correspond to impairments in frontal lobe systems that are involved in such control.[1][2]

Meanness. Lacking empathy and close attachments with others, disdain of close attachments, use of cruelty to gain empowerment, exploitative tendencies, defiance of authority, and destructive excitement seeking. The PCL-R in general is related to this but in particular some elements in Factor 1. Similar to PPI Coldheartedness but also includes elements of subscales in Impulsive antisociality
