Actually, the last 2 episodes showing his trial in Miami ( for the Tallahassee murders) you can see the psychopathy in action.
One thing in common....those soul less eyes. Chilling.
Like Trump, Bundy had to be in charge, thought he was the smartest one in the room, had to have all the attention in the room, and lacked any capacity to see himself as others did. Like Trump, he lived in a fantasy world, described himself as a wonderful kid growing up,with no problems,
etc.
creepy.
watching the Bundy mini-series, and seeing Trump more clearly....amazing similarities.

Fascinating list of the 7 social classes in 1841 England. Esp. the 7th.
And notice the number of families/indiv. members of each class.
Entire history in one page.

Here is story of it:
It may be the biggest dump of personal login credentials in history, affecting some 773 million unique accounts.
Cybersecurity researcher Troy Hunt revealed today in a blog post that the massive collection of login information appeared last week on the cloud sharing service MEGA. Hunt runs the website Have I Been Pwned, a database of breaches where anyone can see if their information has been exposed in this dump or others.
Cybersecurity experts have called the database among the largest collections of usernames and passwords yet, more than twice the size of the recent Marriott breach. Dubbed "Collection #1," the dump includes information from thousands of websites —
t’s still unknown who collected the information or where the breach originated. The information appears to come from a random assortment of sites, ranging from botanyconference.org to organic.org.

A lot of people do not realize that a business bankruptcy is so different than a indiv. person's bankruptcy, and this mis-understanding can be seen in all the scathing comments aimed at Trump's multiple bankruptcies.
He called it a smart move, and he was correct.
business bankruptcies allow a company to screw the people they owe money to while keeping money for itself/company leaders.
In trump's case, years ago, Wilbur Ross, then one of the owners of Bank of Cyprus, arranged for Trump to have 450.000....a MONTH...
when he bankrupted the casinos. ( casinos now reported to be used for money laundering).
The business people he owed $$$$ to got nothing.
Back in early 2000, PG&E was charged with scamming Cal. residents on power bills. Enron was involved, but that was not known till later.
When finally investigated and charged, PG&E simply divided itself into 2 entities. One entity held all the debt, the other held all the $$$$.
Guess which one went bankrupt?
They can, legally, do it again, cause Congress wrote and re-wrote the bankrupt laws for that purpose. The CEO and board members will walk away with millions. Just watch.
Don't be fooled by California's PG&E bankruptcy.

Very close friend has Hispanic granddaughter who was born here. She was visiting her relatives in Mexico. Papers in order, etc, but the problem was the 16 hour wait in line, in a car, to even get to US border check, last week.
"The line stretched for miles" she reported.
Very happy the young lady is back home, they are not planning any more trips until the situation is resolved,
They were in Mexico when Trump pulled his shutdown stunt.
I dunno how the trucking industry works with border crossing, but I would assume this is having a hell of a financial impact.
16 hour wait to cross (legally) from Mexico to US.
