Arendt's book introduced the expression and concept "the banality of evil". Her thesis is that Eichmann was not a fanatic or sociopath, but an extremely average person who relied on cliché defenses rather than thinking for himself and was motivated by professional promotion rather than ideology. Banality, in this sense, is not that Eichmann's actions were ordinary, or that there is a potential Eichmann in all of us, but that his actions were motivated by a sort of stupidity which was wholly unexceptional.

Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichmann_in_Jerusalem

I think Arendt's analysis of Adolph Eichmann also applies to most of the members of the Trump administration. We witness, daily, the cliché defenses of the administration's cruel and corrupt policies. I also believe the same sort of stupidity which Arendt observed in Eichmann is the defining characteristic of almost every member of Trump's administration, especially the President. They have no character, no moral compass and their arrogance is boundless.

She likely has no idea how repulsive she is. Just another Nazi.

The people who shamed her are heroes, using their right of free speech. We need more of this.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Sounds like the liberal echo-chamber around these parts, as prodded by the M$M.

Seriously, NONE of you think for yourselves. You're always flying off the handle, spouting second-hand opinions, spittle flying, with not a single fact nor a single question amongst you. And when you run out of other people's opinions to quote and are stalled in developing a logical argument, you resort to ad hominems and strawmanning, if not outright libel.

As long as you insist that everything is the Republicans'/ Democrats' fault, then you fail to grasp the REAL problem with American politics.

Meh...

I'm just going back to ignoring him. He'll lose interest again and we won't hear from him for months.

Trump folded so everything said by her about immigrants and Trumps policy was for not. Children being taken away from their parents is over. And, her press conference will be forever attached to her resume. And that folks is what I call justice.

Self inflicted GSW...

He so desperately wants to be that tough-guy dictator, but one small
problem - he justs cares too much what people think of him. He's a liar
that doesn't want to be caught in a lie. Isn't it ironic!

Both Putin and Kim don't give a flying fuck what people think...they
just do. Critics, Bah! Protestors, Bah! The Press, Bah! Informants, Bah!
They will kill them all!

Best that Trump can do is call them names.

All these folks are scared shitless. They don't know what to do. Hard to
follow a leader with no plan B, just total nonsense and chaos. When asked
if she knew where the young teen-aged girls were being housed, she hadn't
a clue. Yeah, she's toast.
