I'm getting the feeling that chump is experiencing a manic episode now

The press conference yesterday was the beginning. He is really getting more unhinged.

I used to work with a man who would have them from time to time. It was until he passed away that I realized he was biopolar with manic depressive disorder. The more I see chump he reminds me of my crazy boss. I used to just stay silent and not engage. If you engaged him he became more unhinged. His wife called once and she said she was glad I answered because she was worried about him that particular day. He came back in the office and asked who I was talking to, I told him it was his wife and I was holding her on the phone. He started yelling at her over the phone about something stupid. Then when he got off he yelled at me. I kept silent and then he called his wife and apologized then apologized to me. I can imagine the staff in the White House experience this daily. But sometimes he was a great kind generous person.It got so tiring but he paid me well and I worked part time so I could put my son on the bus to school and meet his bus at home in the afternoon.

Otherwise, maniac works.

And if you're comparing SCROTUS to your former co-worker, it doesn't really work either because SCROTUS is never kind and thoughtful. I don't think he's bipolar, he's just a full-time asshole.

An asshole from top to bottom. One big sphincter that talks/yells/rants/blathers.

It would be too stressful for me to work somewhere like that. I'm a big wuss.
