Two of the blogs I checked into today, Neo and Don Surber, both caught my attention with posts that brought me back to the notes I’ve been taking and keeping under the heading of Cowboys and Evil, after mention of those two subjects was made last month here at Levity.
Neo’s post on predators and prey entitled: Rittenhouse was (and is) the designated prey of psychopathic wolves, brought clarity and invited insight into the motives and intents of those involved in the Rittenhouse chase and shooting. It confirmed the thought I’d had earlier, after learning of Rosenbaum’s record of sexual molestation involving young boys, that it was likely he was experienced (savvy, to use Neo's word) in sensing vulnerability and setting up/hunting down victims, as abusers and bullies tend to have an uncanny ability to sniff out their prey. Which had started me wondering: Who was the cowboy? Who was the outlaw? And, what was driving all involved to do what they did?
Surber’s post from yesterday, on President Oddfather, also opened the door to more by setting up the Oddfather parallel, while coming right out with naming the person involved as evil.
Both tied into what I’ve been reading and thinking about after pulling an almost 40 year old copy of Scott Pecks “People of the Lie” (1983) off the shelf in my downstairs library to re-read it, along with “Further Along the Road Less Traveled” (1993) based on Peck’s lectures. Though I’m not yet ready to post on the notes taken from those two books, I'll close with this from Peck, which also, in a reverse way, addresses the situations presented at both links:
“Mental health is the ongoing process of dedication to reality at all costs."

The Eminent Mr Surber thinks Brandon is faking it. The Blonde disagrees.
PS All manner of rumors circulating about getting rid of Chlamydia floated mostly by a story on Commie News Net, some through the 25th Amendment allegedly at the connivance of Dr Jill.
I'll leave it to others whether this, if true, is the French Revolution writ small, but it may well be the Democrat party is coming apart at the seams.
The exodus from Lefty paradises like CA and NY due to unlivable conditions of all sorts is starting to look like a diaspora. If so, the electoral clout the Demos have had for almost a century may be disappearing.
Evil does seem to turn on its own.

I wonder if it may be a both/and sort of situation? One that involves a combination of:
-dementia and deceitfulness,
-carelessness and willfulness,
-confusion and cunning
-physical/mental breakdown and hubris
-loss of cognition and entrenched (now glitchy)thought patterns based on years of calculation, manipulation and play-acting

Well put, Mama.
The two are anything but mutually exclusive.
He’s been a nasty phony piece of business his whole life and that’s not going to change as dementia sets in
A comment on a post elsewhere where baby-kissing is used as the cover topic under which the inappropriate touching of children by Creepiness obliquely comes up and falls:
Powers Booth's Sen. Roarke character in Sin City spelled it out plainly. 'Power comes from lying' and getting everyone to play along with it.
Back to People of the Lie.
