That could cause an explosion like Captain Kirk talking a planet-controlling computer into a breakdown.
I’ll grant them this - it is legitimately impressive how they can sit there with looks of rapt adoration while watching a response of such monumental ineptitude. They got half the Oscar winners beat for acting.
Judging oral communication as if it were written is slso a bit apples & oranges.
To me, the two signs that his cracker is cheeseless and cracked are that he fails to finish most of his sentences, and where he does he rarely has specifics, only generics (“great”; “I love”) and filler words. He frequenly shifts focus mid-thought.
All pretty common in oral narrative, but the lack of overall cogency isn’t, to me, the sign of a healthy mind.
Wt actual F?
I think I see a flaw in that analysis. Difficult to read? Nay, it’s impossible. A string of syllables babbled together does not make something college graduate level reading.
What is the companion line to that? Is it
Madness takes its toll
No, the line after It’s astounding is, Time is fleeting.
It’s then that we get Madness takes its toll.
All joking aside, I recall during his last term reading an article about how it’s very difficult for translators to render what he says into another language, since he’s so incoherent in his thoughts. And of course he’s gotten worse. I’d expect such an AI attempt to organize his speech into coherency to fail, just on the GIGO principle; it can’t clarify an underlying rational train of thought that isn’t there.
That’s too rambling and incoherent for me to even want to try forcing it into the form of “Poetry”
I don’t think they’re acting.
Yeah. The reason for the “Leopards Eating Faces” meme in the first place is that the Right is full of people who blindly worship their leaders and just…listen without hearing when those leaders talk. They’ll just listen to their master’s voice and read whatever meaning they want into it, regardless of what the actual words say.
That’s a major reason why Trump can get away with spouting gibberish - his followers aren’t listening to the actual words in the first place. Just the words in their head.
I feel like we need a Monty Python type response to this!
“I resent the implication that the Pentagon is a haven for Drag Queens! It’s well known that we now have the problem relatively under control, and that it’s the State Department that now houses most of the Drag Queens in the Federal Government! -Signed, Lt. Col. Felicia Featherboa, in an off-the-shoulder sundress and cute little sandals.”
I put that into ChatGPT and asked it to evaluate the statement:
Clarity & Coherence
- Weak: The statement is meandering and hard to follow due to its stream-of-consciousness style. It lacks punctuation and sentence structure, making it difficult to identify clear points or transitions.
- Repetitive and circular: Thoughts are repeated in slightly different ways without adding depth or clarity (e.g., “I love the quarterback like his girlfriend too and his wife…”).
- Unclear subject shifts: The speaker jumps from topic to topic without smooth transitions (Kansas City Chiefs → Native American names → Cleveland Guardians → Washington Redskins).
Structure
- Very poor: There are no real paragraphs, topic sentences, or logical progression.
- Run-on sentences: Nearly every sentence is extremely long, making it hard to identify the main ideas.
- Lacks editing: There are many filler words (“uh,” “you know,” “frankly”) that clutter the message.
Tone
- Informal and conversational, which might work in a casual setting, but not for serious or sensitive topics like the representation of Native American communities.
- Potentially insensitive: The statement discusses Native American identity and team names without nuance or demonstrated understanding of how Indigenous people themselves feel about the issue.
- Overgeneralization: Claims like “they like when they’re called by various names” are unsubstantiated and risky, especially when speaking about a diverse group.
Intent vs. Execution
- The speaker seems to be trying to say: Team names with Native American references are not offensive, and in some cases, they are a source of pride.
- However, the delivery is confusing, lacking in evidence, and poorly organized, which weakens the credibility of the argument.
Summary:
This statement is not well-written. It would benefit greatly from:
- Clearer sentence structure
- Logical flow of ideas
- Removal of filler words and repetition
- A more thoughtful and informed tone, especially when discussing marginalized communities
- The speaker just shutting the fuck up.
Don’t worry Trump will soon start selling special Patriot Decoder Glasses that make the uncomfortable passages disappear.
One of the intellectual sports - if you can call it that - at my high school, was “public speaking”. Similar to debate, but just the opening arguments, and no questions. There were two rounds. The first was scripted, on a chosen subject and memorised.
We had the chance to read from the script in the first case. In the second, we were given the subject at the back of the auditorium, got about 30s to prepare while walking down and onto the stage, and were expected to talk for one minute on a completely unknown subject. Any subject, “density of a neutron star”, “Arnold Schwartznegger’s mother”… etc.
Factual, but way outside your average 18yr old student’s ambit.
Trump is doing the second, every time he speaks.
At least we students had the ability to make self deprecating jokes so as to use up time with laughter. Trump instead uses words to fill time. But he doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of the words, phrases and sentances he utters.
Do you remember when, no matter who the woman is or her position, the newscast always described what she was wearing as though she were on a catwalk. I wonder how Tan the Conman’s outfit would be described.
I’m thinking about this thread I started fifteen years ago.
Would that he could.
Does Orange Anusface think words like Chiefs and Braves and Redskins are Native-American surnames? Or am I an idiot for trying to follow his train of ‘thought’? (Don’t answer that.)
He probably does. And he probably thinks my clan chief, Sir Malcolm MacGregor of MacGregor, is Native American.
Killjoy. 
See, that was a minor annoyance I had with Obama during the '08 campaign. Whenever he was off-script, there would be a lot of um-filled pauses in his speaking. Apparently someone else noticed it as well, because by the end of '09, he ad been trained out of that.
Naturally, Felon-ONE does not have that problem because he just fills the gaps in his speaking with verbal effluent, which often results in goofy digressions because SQUIRREL! he has to address the content of the digressions. “Um” indicates a pause to gather ones thoughts, of which there is no evidence that Felon-ONE has any.
