    The Glossers came to the U.S. just a few years before the fear and prejudice of the “America first” nativists of the day closed U.S. borders to Jewish refugees. Had Wolf-Leib waited, his family likely would have been murdered by the Nazis along with all but seven of the 2,000 Jews who remained in Antopol. I would encourage Stephen to ask himself if the chanting, torch-bearing Nazis of Charlottesville, whose support his boss seems to court so cavalierly, do not envision a similar fate for him.

      do not envision a similar fate for him.

      Just like Musk, Giuliani, Herman Cain, My Pillow asshole, etc., they all thought they were special. They thought they were in the “in” crowd. It’s a fragile position no matter who you are, because you’re “in” only until they don’t have a use for you.

      Bezos, Zuck, Miller, they’ll all find out eventually that they aren’t special too.

        Yeah, even “powerless” narcissists need someone to feed their ego, and will eventually turn on that person and need a new one.

        It’s just worse when the narcissist has power.
