The Sad Cognitive Decline of a President

I was thinking guillotines.

@Horace said in The Sad Cognitive Decline of a President:

I don't think anybody knows exactly what will happen if Trump is elected. But in broad outline, concentration camps for his detractors seem certain.

What I don’t get is why Biden doesn’t just end this? The Supreme Court totally said he has immunity for a drone strike on Trump…

A lack of moral courage.

“The one thing I can't get used to is hydrogen. You know, you know, the story with hydrogen, it's great until it blows up, in which case you're not recognizable. Even guys, strong guys like this, they call your mom or your wife. Is it a mom or? Oh, look at that. Oh, I know them. Very wealthy parents. That's nice. You know, I know them. No, your kids wouldn't be recognizable. That's not a good thought. How's my son doing? Well he tried the new hydrogen…”

What the fuck.

He is a cancer, unburdened by what has been.

[jon-nyc]

And by ‘what has been’ you mean the previous words he uttered in the same sentence.

[Renauda]

Puts a whole new understanding to the literary device, stream of consciousness.

Maybe this should be under the physical decline of a president, but didnt want to start a new thread. LOL

Look at about 15 sec through 25 seconds as he has trouble getting into the garbage truck.

(But to be unbiased, he is 78 years old. And this just shows his age)

Sad. Elder abuse.

Where did the "250 million people are not garbage" number come from?

It's a brilliant troll of Biden. Controlled the news cycle and shoved Harris off the lead story.

Brilliant troll of Biden AND Harris.

(But, he looked every bit his age trying to climb into that truck)

I think I mentioned that I had problems mounting Simon from the left side...

There was a recent Ezra Klein podcast with Magie Haberman (NYT reporter on the elections beat) - and she's no fan of Trump, but she admitted that he's still mentally all there. She said he might have become a bit ramblier in his old age, even more tangents, etc.... but mentally he's been mostly the same guy that she's observed from the start.

Doesn't look that bad to me. :man-shrugging:

“So I just give you a little bit of a thing and by the way, the press will say, oh, he rambled, no, that's not ramble, you know what that is? That was genius, that's the weave, now, see, I, I wove frankly the rest of it I don't really even have to talk about, but that was the ultimate weave and, and think of it.”

I heard that on Rogan. I understood what he meant.

It's a storyteller device. He's just getting older and sometimes the circle gets too wide.
