There is an arrogance in the Trump administration that is incredible..

[Stuart G]

And the leader is Trump himself......................
."I don't need to apologize for anything".".I can say anything, nothing is going to happen to me.." and so on..
..now that arrogance is a key...that will open the door to indictments and trials. If he pardons some, that too will come to haunt him... why?
Because the indictments will be so clear and simple, that 75 percent of the electorate, will know Trump and the crowd is "guilty"...sure 25 percent will say no. That is not enough...But this is a prediction..

The arrogance in the Trump administration is totally real..

1. That kind of arrogance has enablers and its Russia and the KGOP

2. You are correct....but in this case, I believe the Trump Crowd will go down..

Mueller will indict them, they may get pardoned, but then they must resign. I think it will be ugly in ways we have not thought about or could predict

The pardoning could in itself destroy the Trump Crowd....We will see what Mueller does. The one thing I do know, it will take time..

When the indictments arrive, they will knock the crowd down in ways the crowd never expected..

3. Yeap, it'll take time ... took 3 years for Christies Crew to go down and that was smaller in scale

4. Unfortunately that is one of his traits that his base admire.

?How does one acquire such a following with a catch phrase like "You're fired"?

5. I suspect they're unaware.

It's my belief that people like Trump are not cognizant that they are either wrong or evil by nature, hence the shock they demonstrate when accused of wrong-doing. For them, reacting arrogantly is just expressing their righteousness. I remember Nixon and Agnew all too well.

Watching the behavior of a lot of wealthy and powerful people over the years, it seems that with time and age they develop a hardened self-righteousness that is not malleable and almost irreversible. In some like Trump, it comes ingrained from their youth. Those around them - and especially family - become clones of that personality.

So, when they do fall, it is a huge crash. I feel no sympathy for any of them, except their small children.

6. So I was discussing the term "Hubris" with my Lit class today

in regard to Oedipus. Might there be some sort of semblance? I think so. I certainly hope so!

[Stuart G]

7. Just as an explanation ..with "Hubris"..those connected, always fall, always, are defeated and

that takes them... to a very low level..

Yes, I hope that happens to Trump and his group..

That their fall, is incredible, way down,,all they way down..
