This one really is a pompous weirdo.  Sometimes I wonder if he really thinks that people believe all of his bloviating and thinly veiled bragging?
Coupe of paragraphs about his opinion on a TV show...  then bullshit nuggets of him unleashing his "power" from above.

I haven't posted much lately...
Mostly because I don’t feel have anything to contribute, and the sadness the vast number of us feel at this site has been well expressed by many. However, I wanted to relate something which I found ironically amusing.

During this self-imposed exile from cable news, my wife and I have been watching and re-watching series on Netflix, Showtime, and HBO Max. We just finished re-watching Game of Thrones last night and it is the first time for me to have watched the series in its entirety. I found it a rather empty, pornographically violent without verve or reason, and a depressingly predictable costume drama. I know this runs contrary to many who enjoyed it thoroughly, and that is fine: different strokes for different folks.

However, during the final episode, the remaining group of survivors is sitting around, trying to figure out whom to anoint as king, and one of the individuals states that perhaps the leader should be chosen by “everyone“ rather than this panel of royalty and their closest henchmen and henchwomen. There is a long silence… And then everyone burst into raucous laughter which goes on for some time.

For me, this was the most poignant moment in the entire series. The powers that be have no interest in the populace determining their leaders and find it positively laughable. This was the most realistic moment in the 70+ episodes of this series. In a way it was a punchline of a 74 hour joke.

I also want to relate an incident which occurred last night as we were locking up the Dental office. The group of us have been able to bond recently over one aberrant staff member who is disruptive and egocentric, and in addition, is being very stupid about it. Anyway, as we are walking out of the building, one of the receptionists asked me to say frankly what I think of Donald Trump. Now I know for a fact that except for me, the owners of the practice, and possibly one staff exception, everyone else voted for Orangina. At first I demurred but she pressed me and feeling my oats a little bit I said to her, all the while laughing, “I don’t vote for rapists, I don’t vote for thieves, I don’t vote for con men who sell bad steaks, drinking water, wine, and phony diplomas from fake universities, I don’t vote for liars, and you know what, I ESPECIALLY don’t vote for people who soil their pants in public, OK?”

Her retort was simply, “I understand.“ And I replied, still laughing, “I don’t think you really do. And I’m going to tell you that if this man were in your family, you would be thoroughly disgusted and depressed, but it doesn’t really matter because he is all yours now again and everything that happens in this country we are going to hang on his shoulders, OK? Just enjoy your free groceries and your dollar a gallon gas and have a great weekend.”

And I then drove off into the sunset.

Ahh.. what grace and elegance. This is what happens to a brain when you marinade it in DU.  I can smell it from here

If you know everyone in your dental practice voted for him, obviously they know you didn’t. Have they harassed you about it? Talked down to you? If they have, you would have left. If you felt free enough to laugh at a receptionist while telling her why you didn’t vote for the person everyone else voted for, are you feeling uneasy about what her boss may say to you? Unless you’re the boss. In that case, I would be surprised that you hired anyone who voted for him.

For the life of me, I cannot understand DU members, intelligent, successful people, engaging with people instead of just ignoring him. If you would have said, I don’t discuss politics at work, that may have really angered her into saying something she shouldn’t. Please do let us know what her boss (unless you’re the boss) says if and when she decides to discuss that with the boss.

All of this energy could and should be transferred to your favorite Democratic representative or Senator in DC. They have the power to do something.

Reel it in a bit, Ralphie. Not good for your DU health points.

Since your post is rather, shall we say confrontational, I’ll do the same. What would make you think based on anything I said that this was an office in which I had any status other than independent contractor/employee? I essentially no longer work in my original practice and there just day a month to babysit my reconstruction patients who need help and assistance of both the dental and psychological variety. I love them like extended family, but I understand my role and got out of there more or less entirely.

I have not discussed any politics at work until yesterday, and when confronted by a Trumpian, I was not going to back down. Our ****ing party is losing because we back down to these mother****ers all the time and I am good and *******ed sick and tired of it. I will not be silenced, I am not afraid and I can do anything the **** I want because I’m a ****ing doctor OK? They need me there and the boss loves me and he and his wife are both liberal Democrats so these ****ing people who collect a check every week do not have a leg to stand on as far as anyone is concerned. I produce an enormous amount of money for these people out of the blue, and can convince nearly anyone to have their dentistry done and to pay for it gladly. That is my major asset. In other words, I ain’t getting fired no time soon.

In addition, I don’t take shit from anybody anymore OK? I’m 72 years old and I’m tired of it. The reason I’m working now is because I tried to make friends with everyone rather than have a serious approach to finances and status by being Mr. nice guy. Well, no more Mr. nice guy when it’s appropriate not to be since I got ****ed by everybody and I have to work to pay the bills.

I hope I answered your questions.

Well, now the REAL PCIngrate comes out. HAHAHAH!  What a piece of shit. He just said it, he's better than EVERYONE ELSE.
I'm not into beating up old guys, but I might just make an exception for this one, given the opportunity.

What a complete POS.  His delusions of grandeur are amazing.

The smartest, most talented guy in the building is working at 77 because he’s a financial failure.

What a complete POS.  His delusions of grandeur are amazing.

And corresponding Delusion of Relevance.

  I am not afraid and I can do anything the **** I want because I’m a ****ing doctor ass hole  OK?

Shall we start a countdown till he’s back in the unemployment line?

Bullshit, you've posted dozens of times how you invoke your political beliefs into your "practice".

[FunkyZero]

And corresponding Delusion of Relevance.

These "fu**in DOCTORS" aren't well known for being financially savvy. Some are, but most are exactly like this dipshi*. They are arrogant a-holes, and they can never get along with their partners who are always other doctors. And wile they smile and make nice with their patients, they also treat their employees like absolute garbage behind the scenes. I've seen them have these girls to the point of crying. When I have to deal with them directly, they often try this exact "I'm a doctor" crap on me, and they are generally left somewhat speechless when they get the "and I'm the security guy, doctors aren't allowed to do that either". Man, I could tell some stories, but I'll refrain because it's inside business stuff and clients.
IF PCIngrate even really is a doctor, it says a lot that he's 72 and can't pay his bills without getting a part-time job. If I had to guess, he's on his 4th wife, insists on driving a cheap Porsche with a 1500/mo payment so he can park it next to the others in the lot, lives in a townhouse on a canal, and is in debt over his head due to his inability to manage his money and stop getting it all seized in divorce battles.
These guys are almost like cookie-cutter a**holes... not unlike many lawyers I've had to deal with. They have a really inflated view of themselves as a general rule. Don't get me wrong, maybe 10-15% of them are actually good people who defy the caricature outlined above, but they are the exception.

The last line in the story even sounds like parody.

AND... if I'm reading this DUmmys screed right, it sounds as if he now claims to only work one day per month. Yet, he has these interaction stories far more frequently.
Someone far wiser than me once said:  "DUmmies lie. They lie all of the time"

Maybe it's time that someone let PCIdiot go into a dentist office by taking out a few of his teeth VIA a big elbow to the lower jawbone on the side of his malignant face?
