@jwdickerson @yourauntemma I think we've had this exchange before. Ive said from the beginning (and despite all those who vociferously insisted over and over he was a malignant narcissitic) that TRUMP IS A CRIMINAL PSYCHOPATH (who is dementing but that's another thread) and have written extensive 1/

@yourauntemma threads (see @threadreaderapp) explaining what criminal psychopathy is and why Trump is a criminal psychopath, AKA more formally as Anti-Social Personality Disorder w/Psychopathy (ASPDp).

1) Trump is NOT a Narcissist. He does NOT have NPD and IS NOT a nalignant narcissist 2/

@yourauntemma @threadreaderapp (which BTW isn't even a valid DX, is not in any iteration of the DSM and more importantly IS NOT backed by research)

Lastly (but very importantly) narcissists ARE NOT DRIVEN BY SADISM

2) Trump is NOT a sociopath (someone who due to poverty & social oppression with few if

@yourauntemma @threadreaderapp any other options, is driven to crime to survive; who does not particularly enjoy it but as the only way to survive, become a way of life...eventually you become numb as that's just a fact of life)

@yourauntemma @threadreaderapp 3) Trump IS/HAS Anti-Social Personality disorder w/PSYCHOPATHY
which is driven by sadism

i.e. Trump is a PSYCHOPATHIC criminal

Trump IS NOT a sociopath. He does not now nor did he ever need to commit crimes to survuve. TRUMP IS DRIVEN TO CRIME BECAUSE HE ENJOYS 5/

Personally, I don't use but I gotta ask b/as long time SA Counselor & Clinical Neuropsychologist,
What ARE these people so on re weed about? Theres NOTHING abt weed comes anywhere close to t/individual, 1/

relational, marital familial, societal and physical and mental health damage done by alcohol (ism) daily. PERIOD FULL STOP

& Research that was so long denied has found a plethora of bennies.

That's not to say no abuse occurs or is possible, (however, [stick with me here] 2/

I see a variety of WS groups currently abusing [t/great American symbol of home family & motherhood] MILK these days...
Hey, if it's a substance/any substance or something transduced or processes by your chemical brain [neurochemistry baby] use misuse, abuse addiction & 3/

deadly addiction is a thing, A BIG THING including "thought addiction," [we MH profs call this obsession] which seems a likely group DX for folks on the right who are virtually obsessed with weed as if it were Hitler, meanwhile they're tryna convince themselves he had a 4/

Bottom line: Cannabis Use/Abuse Disorder is far less (note t/word LESS) common, far less damaging both in t/short- & long-term & pop #s for Cannibis Use/Abuse are no where near those of alcoholics & the resulting death maiming 5/

The Kushana Empire was founded by Mahārājādhirāja Kujula Kadphises, a Shaivite Hindu convert from his ancestral Steppe religion of the Yüeh-chih. He was not a Buddhist, as popularly believed.

A thread on the Hindu Emperors of the Kushana Dynasty.

The Kushanas were part of a tribal confederation called the Yüeh-Chih that originally lived in the western part of the Gansu Province of China. They were pushed west by the invasions of the Xiongnu (Huna) confederation. Kuja Kadphises united all the five sub-tribes under Kushana.

Emperor Kuja Kadphises had converted to Shaivism, a Mathura inscription from the Tōkrī Tīla mound (Maṭ village) clears up previous confusion (Based on him being called "satyadharmasthita" or 'steadfast in the true dharma' people speculated he was a Buddhist)

This is incorrect.

The Mathura inscription applied the same epithet to Emperor Huvishka (satyadharmasthita) but explicitly says the Kingdom was conferred upon its founder by Lord Shiva (Sarva is the epithet of Shiva). This makes it clear Kujula Kadphises had adopted Shaivism & the Kharoshti script.

This also makes sense, when we realize his son, Emperor Vima Kadphises was also a devoted Hindu Shaivite (and in his coins we clearly see a trishulin ithyphallic shiva with a tiger skin).

So his son had just been continuing his father's tradition & upbringing.

Paul Warburg attended as the American representative, at the Treaty of Versailles conference, where his brother Max was on the German side of the bargaining table…. Before World War II, Max Warburg served on the board of directors of I.G. Farben, the giant German chemical firm.

On 23 September 1984 the BBC broadcast the apocalypse: the story of nuclear war and its effects on the people of Sheffield. Filmed on a shoestring budget it still causes nightmares to this day.

This thread is not for the squeamish.

This the story of Threads...

In 1965 the BBC had filmed The War Game, a fictional docu-drama about a nuclear attack on Britain. However under pressure from the government the BBC withdrew it from screening. It was finally released in 1966 as a film in selected theatres.

For many years the withdrawal of The War Game had rankled many at the BBC. Surely it was a public broadcaster's duty to show the public what the reality of nuclear war would mean. Finally in 1982 they did so.

A Guide To Armageddon was a documentary for the BBC's peak-time science series Q.E.D. Produced by Mick Jackson it graphically depicted the effect of a one megaton explosion on London. It also explored how well people could survive such a blast if they were in a fallout shelter.

Jackson had carefully researched his subject and knew how under-prepared the UK was for nuclear war. The physical and psychological effects of atomic attack would catapult what was left of Britain back to a 14th century mode of living, a time when bubonic plague killed millions.

In 1928, the American holdings of IG Farben, the American branches of Bayer Company, General Aniline Works, Agfa Ansco and Winthrop Chemical Company, were organized into a Swiss holding company, the Internationale Gesellschaft für Chemische Unternehmungen AG or IG Chemie in short
