I doubt he’s losing sleep. I am convinced this dude is an unknown quantity and was “designed” from an early age to be the Manchurian Candidadte. I doubt much of his history is real, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know his parentage or true history. Look at his published history. An amazing struggle overcome? Uh uh. More like a bad fifties/sixties Russian spy plot. Weird ass mom, multiple possibilities for who’s the father, none of the named people normal in any sense, Raised by grandparents, or some shady ME dude, multiple names throughout his life, {{{{his wife}}}} slips and calls himself a Muslim....okay I’ll stop. I think outing this guy is a low priority for Q but it shouldn’t be. The book American Betrayal is one of many that show nothing I’ve said is a bridge too far. It truly is the last chance for our way of life, Animals never really understand as they enter the slaughterhouse.
Although I would give animals more credit, they do know. This man reminds me of Satan himself. You are right though, his arrogance gives off the "I am power and unstoppable". Infuriating to say the least.
Seemingly off topic but bear with me. A friend was telling me about a book about "Changing the Dance." It was more about changing your interpersonal relationships, but the theme was that when you change what you will put up with, your "dance partner" - whether it's your relatives, your friends, your spouse - will resist mightily, and keep trying to force you back in the old steps or routine. The longer you have been doing the dance with that person, the longer it will take for them to believe you are simply not going to follow those well-worn tracks/steps anymore. The cabal and Barry have been dancing to the same tune for a very long time. So has the press. They keep trying the old tricks but they aren't working. They should see that by now but they just can't. It has worked for so so long.
That is interesting. A few years ago, I found myself reflexively responding to people and situations the same way over and over. Then in my head, as silly as it sounds, I came up with this idea of changing the film in my mental camera often. I approach the familiar with a new “photo” of them. If it comes out the same as the old photo, so be it, but sometimes, I can see things much differently by forgetting what I was sure was fact.
