> [@BlankSlate](#): > > And if Trump is suffering from the onset of dementia, who the hell would be able to tell? No shit. He’s had issues of grandeur all of his life. He has NO idea how the world works. How do you even respond to his thought that Biden is going to start WWII, or that you need identification to buy bread. He’s inexperienced, uninvolved, and just plain stupid. He says Biden has cognitive issues, and dementia. Where. Do. You. Start.

Quoting Dolt 45: > “I said that’s not possible, everything breaks down at one time or another, just look at Crooked Joe Biden. You need redundancy, you need TWO ENGINES! No high cost modern day plane should have only one engine. Well, an F-35 fell out of the sky yesterday. Hear we go again!” I think we should take Trump at his word about redundancy, and insist on co-presidents if he wins the election. ---

Like **bobot** said, it all just proves how tough, tough, tough he is, and _that_ is The Important Thing. Just look at his expression and listen to his tone when he concludes yes, it almost killed me, yet, here I am! That is to say, in his mind: _Yeah, I do not_ fear _it. Because I faced it my way and it was close but_ I won! _So “ha!” it’s no threat to me. If someone else cannot do the same, too bad. The weak perish: it’s sad, but it’s life, not a moral failure. Not facing it without fear, not testing yourself to see if you are one of the strong, now_ **that** _is the moral failure._ ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Let me get this straight … It’s all Boeing’s fault that their arch-enemy Lockheed built a POS jet. I thought the same thing, but I clicked to read the article. He criticized Lockheed for the F-35. I guess that while he was on the subject of airplanes he said that Boeing should have continued to build the 757, rather than upgraded versions of the 737, which would have avoided the problems with the 737 Max. Both of which are arguable positions. It may be that Trump has some idea what he’s talking about, or wants to make himself look good (he has a 757), or just a blind squirrel finding a nut. ---

Not knowing what Flight of Ideas meant I clicked on the link One part that stood out: Certain lifestyle habits also tend to reduce the chance of mania and psychosis in people who are prone to it. These habits include: - eating a healthy, balanced diet - practicing good sleep hygiene, such as going to bed and waking up at the same time each day - managing stress, such as talking to others and trying mindfulness practices getting regular vigorous exercise - tracking symptoms, mood levels, sleeping patterns, life events, and stressful or anxiety-producing events - tracking medication usage and watching for potential side effects - talking openly with healthcare professionals to find the best treatment plan - sticking to treatment plans, especially medication regimens - learning to recognize when symptoms are developing and what triggers them The man is doomed. ---
