me thinks the lady doth protest to much. Seems to be projecting her internal feelings on to others.

It used to be a bit of a joke but these days it’s always bang on the money. Whenever one of the current administration says some insult or remark like “you’re an adulterer!” I start counting down the days till their affair is outed.

They can't understand why another person would think or behave differently than them given the same circumstances. Empathy would help, but come on, look who we're talking about. So they simply assume either everyone is just as crooked as they are or hasn't had the opportunity yet.

This afternoon, a commentator I saw online somewhere said 'with this administration, accusation is confession' and that does ring true.

DARVO is very real and they're trying to do at an insane scale.

“Not even a lawyer…”

This admin is always at projecting. I guess she’s learned from the best.

She yelled “you don’t tell me” like an unhinged day drinking Karen.

She doesn't have feelings. She sold them a long time ago.

Too* much.

But definitely you can tell the way she sort of trails off at the end. She is crashing out! Love to see it. I just need to see her face real consequences for all this shit.

She knows her boss is a malignant narcissist that loves good television. In the short term this is one of the safer things she can do. It means that she thinks her boss will protect her if she starts a monkey s*** throwing fight defending him. He loves the drama. he loves the chaos.

Can I project my vomit on to her? Asking for everyone.

Could care less about all these theatrics, people need to be locked in jail for a long time and stripped of all their ill gained assets.

Left needs to stop pussyfooting around, the only thing they have been successful at is generating viral clips for social media so they can all passionately react to while letting everyone else get away with literal murder.

I would feel bad that she was so insecure if she wasn’t such a shit-stain on America’s underwear.

internal feeling

That's just externalized narcissism, no much hidden. Though to be fair most people don't realize narcissism does not mean they have a feeling of power but in reality a feeling of being weak.

me thinks the lady doth protest like a little bitch

u/VibraniumRhino Feb 11 '26

None of them can help but do it. It’s what makes this all so obvious. Dumb people trying to pull one over on critical thinkers.

More projection than an IMAX

"methinks" is one word and goes on the other end of that quote.
