I’m so sick of seeing hundreds of pictures of evil Twitler every day! It has damaged my mental health and probably shortened my life. And I’m not one of those damaged much (at least so far) by his evil deeds.
We’ve had a lot of discussion of Trump’s mental problems. But I think the key word is “evil.” He exactly meets the description of evil in the great psychiatrist Scott Peck’s book “People of the Lie.” www.amazon.com/...
I just had the thought to look up the “7 deadly sins” in Christian moral theology, which are thought to be the gravest sins that are fatal to spiritual progress and to salvation. Here’s a nice summary:
People have always been immoral, shiftless, and self-gratifying. For ages, humankind struggled to find a conceptual system to operationalize their spiritual shortcomings.
Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.
Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.
Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.
Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.
That sure sounds like Twitler, every last detail!
I think impeachment should come quickly, with a new twist that the House can introduce new facts and grounds into the Senate trial as they become available. There’s no law against that.
