I agree with this, by the way.
I’ve read many times over the years that the offices keep close tally of how the calls to their offices go, and it really does motivate them.
Now, the fact that they all fear being primaried more than they fear being complicit is a problem, but you know, Muck’s 400 billion dollars have rights too.
It isn’t the 931 number listed here?
This shit is moving faster than shit through a goose. It’s easy to miss some shit.
It’s not a local number for me. I call from my landline (I work in telecom - you bet your ass I still have one of these.), so they see a 615 area code. I figure if I use my cell phone, they’d be more likely to dismiss the 919 area code.
Deliberately? Are you suggesting something of a pun on venerable? He’d have used caps or something for that, wouldn’t he? And not capping SAD is worrisome.
I may not be a doctor, yet I play one on person, woman, man, camera, TV - yet from my far-enough away POV he seems, let’s just say “less cognitive” than before. I could see the same sort of thing with Reagan in his latter second term, certainly I saw it in Biden.
Trump’s story about his cognitive test in July 2020 was to make the point that he’s still there. The same guy we’d hear wanted one-page daily summaries of everything in the world and whose brain would go ‘la la la’ if over-taxed. Here’s what he said after it:
Trump went on to explain the test, saying that after several questions, the doctor returned to the list of words, asking Trump to repeat them. “And you go, ‘person, woman, man, camera, TV.’ They say, ‘That’s amazing. How did you do that?’ ‘I do it because I have like a good memory? Because I’m cognitively there.’”
Clearly this is one of his people approach him and say “Sir, (you are the greatest)” anecdotes. It’s always “Sir” and here he’s saying that doctors were amazed that he remembered something like the example or instructions. This is the so-called Montreal Cognitive Assessment, the test Trump is referring to, and a typical answer is “Face, velvet, church, daisy, red.” I cannot imagine doctors (other than his own) being “amazed” unless he’d just recited Pi to 300 digits as well.
I don’t know how fat his fingers are, or if I’m missing some clever pun or intended insult, he could not find the Z? There is clearly less “there” there than four years ago.
ETA: I’ll readily admit if I’ve fallen for Poe’s Law
I’d be surprised if Trump could recite pi to five digits.
I would honestly be shocked if he started with ‘3’ and not a 5 minute rambling spiel trying to stall while his aides desperately signal with 3 fingers while he totally misses their cues.
“Five…”
“Three, sir!”
Does Trump know what is favorite color is?
I’ll go with White.
“Hush, Harriet! That’s a sure way to get him killed!”
Recite Pi? I like pi, but I have chefs for that.
Alternately, Trump’s doctors are just constantly patronizing him because they know stroking his ego is the only way to get him to follow directions, and he’s too stupid to distinguish flattery from genuine praise. “Wow, sir! I’ve never seen ANYONE memorize that many words before! You’re so smart and your father can’t possibly have been ashamed of you!”
He’s starting to back down on the Jyna tariffs now.
“Sir, I am amazed, considering you tried pushing a door marked Pull and then angrily blamed an intern for it and demanded they rehang the door, that you have an IQ above 10.”
Who’s ready for the First Annual Donald J. Trump Award For Outstanding Achievement In The Field Of Excellence?
“And must reflect the brtightest STARS on its stage from acros the nation.”
Cool, so:
Scotty Baio
James Woods
Kid Rock (ideal Kennedy Center performer)
Elon
Gretzky
Roseanne
Joe Exotic
God, I can’t wait for 4 years when a rational Democrat takes office and we get to witness the Great Undoing; rolling back all the stupid bullshit of the Trump years. With chairman of the Kennedy Center just being the latest and most egregious example.
Hm.
There doesn’t seem to be any evidence whatsoever that Democrats, LGBTQ people, books, or drag queens, are hurting kids.
You know what actually DOES hurt children? Guns, any number of organized religions, Gym Jordan, Matt Gaetz, and the Boy Scouts of America – institutions much beloved by Conservatives.
People who accuse the former of hurting kids?
