I read and reread this sentence then tried to imagine it making it past any prosecutor with an ounce of professional pride.

Highlighted section: “Indeed, prosecutors specifically involved in the cases related to the Reflecting Pool made dozens and dozens of communications were made in an effort to identify and obtain the materials necessary to have all information to evaluate the case.”

Shot, and chaser:

A post by Steve Peers illustrated by a gi which shows two women talking, with one saying “I’ve failed at absolutely everything.”

My attempt to use Google search to identify the origin of the quote sees Gemini decide that I am “carrying a tremendous amount of weight right now,” which I’m not, and could you just help me identify a quote, please?

I think George Conway is on the right track, describing Trump as a cocktail of Cluster B Personality Disorders.

The four types of Cluster B personality disorders include:

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD): People diagnosed with ASPD show a lack of respect toward others. They generally don’t follow socially accepted rules.
Borderline personality disorder (BPD): People diagnosed with BPD have difficulty regulating their emotions. This results in low self-esteem, mood swings and impulsive behaviors.
Histrionic personality disorder (HPD): People diagnosed with HPD have intense, unstable emotions and a distorted self-image. They have an overwhelming desire for others to notice them. They’re easily influenced by others.
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD): People diagnosed with NPD have a sense of being better than others. They have an intense need for praise. They lack empathy for others.

These behaviors and thinking patterns can cause distress in many areas of life. This includes work, relationships and socialization.
