Dr David Owen first raised (I believe) the concept 'A common thread tying these elements together is hubris, or exaggerated pride, overwhelming self-confidence and contempt for others (Owen, 2006)'.

And whilst not widely accepted, he has begun a useful discussion on this subject;

Hubris is ultimately what being educated at the best schools, colleges and universities produces.

People with unshakable drive, enthusiasm and ability to skip from catastrophe to the next with no loss of self confidence.

Not wishing to go off on another tangent, but having worked under various mangers in a largest organisation, those attributes some of them had.

But some of them had additional not so pleasant attributes, such as arrogance, aberrant behaviour, infallible, selfish and immoral standards but judgemental of others. Quite frankly, unpleasant individuals, in charge of others.

Its what soulless mega corps want.

There's an incredible amount of effort being expended in pursuing every possible avenue against him.

Thats cos he's a crook not a nice person. ?

The rats are leaving the sinking ship.

Edit; sorry thats a slanderous statement.

You think they'd have found something by now.

Expect more of these noise "investigations" that deliver nothing but still the media will blather on about the twice impeached and constantly under investigation former president.

Either the Democrats employ the worlds worst investigators or these are witch hunts.

But I know you don't like him so I guess that makes it all good?

The investigations into Trump's businesses are nothing to do with the Democrats or the press and nothing to do with a witch hunt.

Trump and his businesses have been in and out of court for years, he thrives on it.
The cases being resurrected now are ones that were held off due to the election, bit of a privledge there.
Can't imagine a Court holding off a case for anyone else.

Here's why a group of tennants in a block of 138 units, are suing,

Ms. Green is among a group of tenants in rent-regulated apartments once owned by Mr. Trump’s father who have filed a lawsuit against the president and his siblings, accusing the Trumps of a decade-long fraud to win artificially high rent increases through an invoice-padding scheme.

The scheme, first revealed in a 2018 investigation by The New York Times, involved tacking at least 20 percent onto the cost of materials purchased for the apartments, with Mr. Trump, his siblings and a cousin splitting the extra proceeds. The maneuver generated millions of dollars for each sibling, with no work required. While the siblings were still liable for income taxes, the maneuver allowed them to evade far-higher gift and estate taxes on part of the fortune they received from their father.

All big businesses are in and out of court, success is dependent on sailing as close to the wind as possible, sometimes crossing it.

When a tax code runs into volumes anyone can and will fall foul of it.

Who and what to prosecute at this level is entirely political.

Still no Burisma investigation yet?

 

[Darkwood]

Biden repeatedly questioned in the election run up whether if president he would stack the supreme court, a method constitutionally frowned on and a clear move that is made to rig the legal system.
At every step he either refused to answer or made unclear comments.

BIden is now president, already making large steps to stack the courts... you would only do this for political reasons to subvert the law to favour any trial that you needed to.
Biden puts questionable people in charge of the system that is going to see his son been prosecuted over the Burisma saga and child ---- images.

Anyone seeing the links yet, his son found to have been in receipt of briberies and child ----, some of the evidence linked the President too, if he can destroy the case against his son then he can also get a home free run himself.

Talk about been the Judge and the Jury on your own son's case.. meanwhile just released is an interview that exposes child abuse throughout the deep state including many figures mentioned in this thread already.

The USA is a mess, the media are political zombies, big tech is crushing conservative opinions, court systems are rigged and 3 months later even under court orders States are still refusing to hand over ballots and machines for audit....OH and btw Biden has signed EO's that can bring in new laws that allow the audits of the ballots to be blocked legally and for the illegal votes that judges has recently announced were in fact illegal can now be counted.

I don't care what side of the coin you sit here but you have to admit that this is corrupt throughout and people wonder why half the country is peed off.

Trump in his 4 yr term never once stacked the courts or brought in laws to subvert the results of ongoing trials, imagine if he had and the outrage yet Biden does it and no news coverage.

All I ask here is those who don't believe the election was rigged then answer 1 simple question, why won't they hand the Ballots over, this would have proven they were legitimate as they claimed 3months ago and Trump would of accepted it, 3 months later and still refuse to release them - WHY ?.. a definite way to prove it wasn't rigged... or the only way to show it was..actions and words here, actions speak louder.

It may not be defined as stacking, but Trump rushing through the appointment of Coney Barratt in record time to beef up the majority the Republicans already had was an insurance policy for him incase he needed the Supreme Court, was that not outrageous?

Fortunately Justice won out as it most likely would if the Court had a Democrat majority and the Supreme Court ruled against Trump.

Didn't Trump pardon a load of his mates who had been convicted of crimes recently? What's that all about?,I'm happy to be enlightened as to why it's morally acceptable

 

[Darkwood]

The US politics like I have mentioned before is not like ours, there are many political prisoners caught in weighted legal decisions and it is common for any leaving president to reset the system so to say.

Trump granted clemency (pardon) to 143 people mostly caught up in political games and a corrupt judicial system that was weighted in the Dem's favour.. he actually was very selective and careful who he pardoned given the scrutiny he was under and his choices were not a surprise or any real scandal.
In reflection obama gave clemency to over 1900 people and there was many questionable decisions but the media are not really bothered scrutinising Obama as they are all part of the same Deep State system.

The fact the media spent little time of the list of Trump Pardons shows there wasn't any real shockers or scandalous choices.

It's common for departing presidents to issue pardons.

You might want to look at the pardons issued by Trump and several of his predecessors.
