Reply to comment by krumpet_ in Ex-Capitol Police officer charged with obstruction tells jury he is 'embarrassed' by Facebook chat with Jan. 6 rioter by drakejones99

It's a great source of amusement to me to see them, over and over again, be completely willing to throw anybody under the bus to save their own skin while simultaneously believing everyone else just like them is trustworthy and will stay loyal. Every one of them would give up anybody they know, even their own family, for a day off their potential sentences. Yet they all think that every single other person is stupid enough to keep their mouth shut and take the bullet for them. Every one thinks that all the others are suckers, and that they're the smart one. A bunch of idiots all thinking the others are the idiots and all just continuously conning each other.

Often it's because they have enablers who actually let them screw them over while still covering for them.

So they keep thinking everyone else is a sucker. Until they're stuck in a room with only defectors around and no enablers.

On the other hand, the is this story about a professional poker player teaching a poker class.

When she asked her students can you deduce when a player bids high on a hand. Most of the students answered that the player must have a good hand.

The pro player was baffled by this answer and asked them what they would do if the had a good hand. The same students answered to bid low or check so the other players won't fold.

Than she asked why they expected other players to do the opposite of what they would do.

Well put my friend. A sign of great intelligence is assuming you are the dumbest in the room and try to learn from everybody else. Really trying to listen and take it all in trying to do the best you can with all the information in front of you. Their great leader had literally the smartest people in the world to accomplish anything and ended up advising everyone to drink bleach. Granted he did coordinate the entire mob to to siege the capitol, but even that he failed at. And turns out his great buddy Putin also sucks at war. There are multiple wagons circling Trump right now. The wise choice for this guy would have been to retire to a remote place to never be heard from again. But he had to be President and wave 35,890...red flags that his wealth was due to defaulting on debt, committing fraud, perjury, and most likely money laundering. Now he is leaning heavily into treason and espionage. All the while leaving an infinite paper trail of everything. I bet if the FBI digs up the spot where he and his cronies were gathered on his golf course, they'd find some interesting things. Those idiots didn't even bring golf clubs. Trump is the quintessential Stupid Asshole.
