#DonTheCon's Treasury Sec Scott #Bessent, said on #ThisWeek that the #StockMarket has recovered nearly all of its losses after the Market plunge in early April, and "The Media called it the worst Market plunge in 100 years. But just 3 weeks later, the Market has recovered almost all of those [self-inflicted] loses, and I never hear the Media calling this The Greatest Recovery in history."

The #DOW didn't recover BECAUSE of his polices, but b/c he WALKED THEM BACK! #Gaslight

This is how the #narcissist in my life #IllegallyOccupies my territory for 2 yrs now. My personal situation matches that of countries globally.

Trump Is Gaslighting Us (big surprise 🧐)

“In response to the #Trump administration’s black fog, #Goldberg…released the texts in order to allow people to reach their own conclusions. For its part, the Trump administration once again wants you to believe that two and two make five.

IN THE 1944 FILM #GASLIGHT, a young woman, Paula Alquist, falls in love with and marries an older man, Gregory Anton. Over the course of the film, Gregory—cunning, moody, charismatic—deceives Paula into thinking that she is losing her mind.”

The Atlantic · Trump Is Gaslighting UsBy Peter Wehner

#FnS invited on #Gabbard to #Gaslight everyone as to what we saw with our own eyes in the Oval Office yesterday and she did not disappoint.

Host Shannon Breem asked Gabbard if #Zelensky "had a point" that #Putin can't be trusted to make a deal with no guarantees (which #Putin repeatedly broke in the past.)

Gabbard's answer was to declare "[T****] is the only one trying to end this war that has been going on for over 3 years", but never actually answers the question.

Gas mantles get very hot.

There are still British Gas employees whose job it is to light Londons remaining 200-odd working gas lamps. Imagine your job title is literally serial gaslighter.

(This gas lamp in Carting Lane, London was placed over a sewer in Victorian times to encourage stagnant gas to rise and escape through the vent.
It’s the only one left which is still working.) #gaslight #gaslamp #london #sewers #history #britishgas

In addition, if you look very carefully at the right hand side, just below the glazed section, you can see the small tap which would have been turned on to let the gas flow through to the mantle before it was lit. This would have been done each night by one of Glasgow's army of leeries or lamplighters. They'd then return in the morning to turn off the tap, so extinguishing the flame.

A former gas lamp (now converted to an electric one) on North Gate to Victoria Park in the west of Glasgow. It's one of a pair created, along with the rest of the gate, in 1887, by Walter MacFarlane's Saracen Foundry. You can tell it was originally a gas lamp because it has an open base and a vented cap at the top (needed to allow oxygen in to feed the flame).

Cont./

A pretty good breakdown of how the T**** campaign managed to #gaslight everyone into thinking they will be the defenders & protectors of the very institutions they seek to destroy, and put #Democrats/#Liberals on the defense, defending institutions we've long been critical of.

Pay attention #DNC. This is YOUR fault:

Ever since I opened this platform, there has been a person who has been gaslighting me. He has created different accounts. His strategy is to mirror my behavior, and then, when he show up again with another account (I recognize them because they post the same, or almost the same, things), he acts indifferent and denies being the same person. I know it’s the same person....
