Mookie you are projecting Roland00 Send a noteboard - 20/06/2018 11:48:20 PM

Mookie you are projecting. When you are in charge of the executive branch who gets to craft executive policy. When you have majorities in both legislature branches you get to create the laws. When you have both these, the executive and the legislature control you get to set the terms of the engagement.

This is a failure of leadership, this is a failure of will, for will only works when subject to reason. Emotion controls the human mind, but it is up to reason to change emotion into will, to guide the emotion into will like an elephant rider directs the elephant. From from will we get action over time, we can make a "promise to the world" and take steps over space and time to enact this promise into reality.

If you get to set the terms of the engagement (and this is what happens when when you control both houses and the executive) you can't blame it on the other side. When you have no power, when you have no control you can't enact your will.

Blaming this on the Democrats is pretty much the definition of psychological projection. Saying the Democrats are for open borders is projection when Trump, Ryan, and McConnel control the keys to the car.

Here is a common man definition of psychological projection.

Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. These impulses and qualities you are defending from can be conscious impulses or qualities or unconscious ones.

Sorry Mookie you are wrong here.
