The Sad Cognitive Decline of a President

[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.

Damn it all, eh? Who’d a thunk it?

I think we all know where the ultimate weave is sitting
