I admire the sentiment, but not even an endless loop would penetrate. essentially, there's nothing there to penetrate.

I'm not being metaphorical...the dominant "theme" in his consciousness is that bottomless emptiness that needs to be filled all the time by as much attention, praise, admiration, fear...fill in as many traits as you can think of. and, being bottomless (and being empty), it's never ever going to be sated.

never. ever. as long as he lives.

this is hardly news, but just the fact that this person could even be a major party candidate for president (let alone "win") says terrible things about where we were at in 2016. and much worse things about where we're at NOW.

Oh, I SO agree with you, David! Call it my cynicism, but knowing that it wouldn't penetrate the emptiness, I harbored a secret desire to drive him even further over the edge, much like the torture of drops of water!
