  1. Yet another day of the “What” (Republicans held to a completely different convenient set of standards than Democrats) with hardly anyone with a platform ever bothering to spell out the “Why” (Republicans are a 90% white voting bloc while Democrats represent the actual diversity of the country). Silent Privilege™️.

  2. Still blaming “them” for spending – It’s one of the biggest lies republicans tell

    How much did each president increase annual federal spending?

    Reagan: 80% in 8 years to $1,064T

    Bush 1: 30% in just 4 years to $1,382T

    Clinton: 29% in 8 years to $1,789T

    Bush 2: 67% in 8 years to $2,982T

    Obama: 29% in 8 years to $3,853T

    Trump: 70% in just 4 years to $6,554T

  3. Reporter: Do you agree?
    Dr. Nick: Nah, he’s fine. He wrote me a big check for doing this interview. Oops, maybe I shouldn’t have said that. Oh well!

  4. This is a man who took a sharpie to a map to quadriple down to lie about a hurricanes path. He hasn’t been in touch with reality for a long time.stop pretending this is new.

    We might need to use the 25th to put the spritely Vance into the driver’s seat. We already did Adderall, so lets have the Ozempic administration.

    The dude is 78 years old and it shows. His speeches are increasingly a meandering mess. He will only sound and act worse in 4 years.

    Unfortunately there’s this:

    Les Moonves in 2016, who was Chairman of CBS at the time:

    ‘It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,’ Moonves said at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco”

    “‘Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,’ Moonves went on. ‘I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.’”

    So while his cognitive decline deserves be be covered, it’ll be a cold day in hell before the psychopaths in main stream media do so in a fair, balanced, and neutral manner.

  8. His obvious decline works for him in a sense. Most people feel he’s running to stay out of prison. While he’s running he’s showing he’s in cognitive decline.

    If he wins he can pardon himself then step aside for Vance giving the GOP a chance to further destroy the country.

    If he loses, he will point to his decline as a ploy to stay out of prison.

    The best part is people suffering from dementia cannot consciously lie. It’s the whole reason his campaign doesn’t want him to debate again. Soon he’ll stop making public appearances.

    That’s means we’re in a short window where people can get him to answer questions publicly. Trumps craziest quotes will happen in the next few weeks.

  10. I wonder what it would be like if a U.S. source published something like this…

    Oh, wait, I can just go back to when the Times was screaming in headlines about Biden!

    Ignoring the cognitive decline, Trump is far too confident to make anyone feel comfortable. I don’t care if he was the smartest person in the world in the prime of his life, that level of confidence makes me uneasy.

    We are human and it is natural for us to make errors, if I had a doctor who was this confident as Trump, I would never go to them. When you’re cautious and not cocky, you take the time to be careful and fully understand what you’re doing.

    That level of confidence is what gets people in trouble, or worse dead.

    Losing touch with reality is a feature not a bug. Right wing world feels validated by that.

    NOW?! I would have thought bleaching the inside of the human body, something I think most of humanity can agree without much forethought is poison and will likely end in death, would have been the penultimate thing that would spark this warning… but hey what do I know…

  14. Additionally, about six years ago, an ophthalmology expert pointed out how often Trump’s eyes were dilated. Meaning, the pupil and retina were very large. He said that such enlargement suggests someone who is on amphetamines like Adderall. And that was six years ago!

  15. Sound the alarm bells…. For the past decade? I’m starting to think people are ignoring the alarm bells
