The next week or so may be very interesting. Trump’s been slowly unraveling for a while now, but his disintegration is picking up speed. His 40% core is unshakeable, but he’s becoming less and less palatable to undecideds and this is when they really start tuning in and making their decisions.
 
Tom Cotton. Kash Patel. Clarence Thomas.
Could be, though I see Thomas in particular as a special case of secondary psychopath with the cover of a lifetime Supreme Court appointment providing a similar type of coverage that the primary psychopath provides. I feel like it took some time for Thomas to reveal his full awfulness, and that was him taking the time to experiment and test his lack of accountability for his actions. A primary wouldn't feel the need to do that.

Cotton and Patel are genuinely awful people, but to me they lack the out-of-the gate air of reptilian menace that I feel puts a person into contention for primary psychopath status.

But I think reasonable people can disagree, and in all probability its a spectrum and not binary anyway. I find the primary/secondary frame useful, but it's just a model that I use to help me make sense of reality, and not reality itself.

Yes. I will have to ask my wife about this. She's does forensic psychiatry.

Surprisingly (to me), I've never seen that distinction in any serious discussion, and my initial reaction was that it was something you made up. But since I almost always fact check myself before posting (unless I'm very sure what I'm talking about), I now see that it's a recognized distinction. I like learning.

If I'm Trump's campaign managers I'm wondering how long before I'm fired and replaced with Lara Loomer and Corey Lewandowski

Ha! It's so much worse than you thought...

I ran across it many years ago (pre-Trump era) in a $.99 self published Amazon book on hypnosis by an anonymous author!

Over the years (and in particular as the Trump era progressed) it sure does seem to have had a lot of explanatory power, so I've always kind of used the frame.

TBH, I'm kinda surprised it's an actual thing (thought to be fair to the author, it was apparent early on that he had a lot more going on than anything you would ever expect out of an anonymous Amazon self published $.99 book on Hypnosis author).

I think you know by now not to expect a lot of intellectual rigor from me, but I do collect interesting tidbits and curios when I find them.

Vice President Kamala Harris raised $47 million in the first 24 hours following her debate with former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday night, a sum that will likely expand a widening funding gap between the two campaigns.

That tally, shared by the Harris campaign with The New York Times, included donations from 600,000 people. It is her largest 24-hour fund-raising period since an initial burst of donations when she entered the race in July and raised $81 million on the first day.
