You too
Capote was just so excellent I couldn't put that book down. I may need to start reading his stuff again.
Even today Trump lives in a bubble. Gen. Kelly seems to have figured out how to keep him there while still allowing for information to get in. I think that's why he's sticking around, he knows Trump can't be trusted to just anyone controlling him.

I agree. "In Cold Blood" is probably my favorite book and the film was quite good.

Your analytical comparison of DT & Dick Hickock is interesting - charming sociopaths - gift of gab

I vaguely recall that scene, as they were hitching rides or stealing cars to from US to Mexico.

I agree with this, to the extent I know anything about the brain or psychopathic issues.

You and H2O Man are giving me a lot to think about. I don't know when I pegged him as an abusive SOB
