A Bully By Any Other Name…
abulia n. (also aboulia)
1. abnormal lack of ability to act or make decisions.
2. loss or impairment of the ability to make decisions or act independently.
Formed by combining the prefix a-, meaning “without”, with the Greek word boule, meaning “will”. Abulia, or without will, is “most often used in medical or psychological contexts to describe physical or mental conditions that make it difficult, if not impossible, for an individual to act or make decisions…”

Politics - from the root Latin words poly, meaning “many”, and tics, meaning “blood sucking leeches.”
I just wish he would pick up his marbles and go home. A bully by any other name. . . Bushupidity or Georgerous!
In the words of Teddy Roosevelt, “Bully bully!”
