> [@Atamasama](#): > > He has passed out in public many times. Usually, it’s just him falling asleep while someone else is talking, but still. It wouldn’t be all that remarkable unless it happened mid-speech. Just dozing off even if he was passed out, isn’t very rewarding for the spectator. To me, it doesn’t count unless he actually falls down flat on his face.\* That’s what I’m waiting to see. And that will be cause for fireworks! 🎆 * * * \* Bonus points if he has to be hoisted up by EMTs and carried off on a stretcher. Here at The Home if anyone falls, staff are not allowed to pick them up. We have to call the fire department and they have to send paramedics. I’m guessing that is for liability reasons. Fortunately, we are right next door to a fire station. So this happens around here probably once a month. ---

To me, it doesn’t count unless he actually falls down flat on his face.\* Well, if he was standing up and yelling into a microphone and passed out, that’s exactly what would happen. If it happened while he was sitting in a chair, it would be like every other day. ---

It’s so Trump of him to say he is going to give a long speech to show what he is capable of, while obliviously disregarding how that would affect anyone else there. ---

Technically you’re not allowed to post solely in a foreign language, at least not without a translation. That’s not the same as only being allowed to post in English. A post that’s only a picture, or series of pictures, that’s fine. Though a picture that has non-English wording on it is a grey area and another reason why I’m glad I’m not a mod. 😆 ---

I wonder if they have generators at the fair. If not, when it’s time for the idiot to speak, everyone in the D.C. area should turn on every appliance they own to the max. ---

That should work anyway, because the generators are probably crap and will break, run out of fuel, be so loud no one can hear themselves think, or any combination of those possibilities. ---
