1. republican Comrade Casino* needs a double dose of Sal Hepatica

Obviously. He's probably holding in his deep-seated, unconscious feelings of GUILT.

It must suck to be a life-long liar and cheater, all the while pretending to yourself and others that you are not. He fairly reeks of IT.

Truth is a force. It has its own energy its own power. Like gravity, it can be ignored for a spell - but there are always, inevitably consequences.

Al Gore - taking off from Gandhi - talks about that in Inconvenient Sequel. I think Gore and Gandhi are right. While the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief may not be aware consciously of his guilt, that guilt is real and it's a FORCE at work within him that will have consequences.

But truth is a force in it's own right. The body knows it and shows it.

21. You really don't see how truth is, do you?

You're hung up on whether or not the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief feels it, or is conscious of it on some level. That is missing the point all together. the point I'm making is that truth, and response to truth, exists. Truth is a power. Whether republican Comrade Casino feels it or not is irrelevant to my point.

Here's a snippet from Al Gore's Nobel lecture in 2007: "Mahatma Gandhi awakened the largest democracy on earth and forged a shared resolve with what he called "Satyagraha" – or "truth force....In every land, the truth – once known – has the power to set us free.

Truth also has the power to unite us and bridge the distance between "me" and "we," creating the basis for common effort and shared responsibility."

22. I see the point you're trying to make

that may apply to 'normal' people. But not those like 45 - his psyche does not allow it - subconscious or not.

Last word on this one for me. Done here.

I usually make that face when I am constipated and . . . well best not to go into details.
