They've all got it, and it ain't coronavirus

Post by Maddy » Wed Sep 23, 2020 9:29 pm

When Hillary took her infamous fall and reappeared, a few weeks later, with thick prism glasses and a narrative about a head injury, I posted to this forum that something was up. I had spent too many years defending sociopaths not to recognize the malady, which affects just about every white-collar criminal whose attorney breaks them the news that they might actually be going to prison this time. The theory, apparently, is that a serious infirmity should land you in a medical ward as opposed to an actual cell--a proposition which may be more folklore than reality. But you can't really blame them for trying. Anyway, I recognized the symptoms immediately when Biden began spouting gibberish and putting his mask on backwards, and when Nancy Pelosi began having "senior moments" a few weeks ago. Now today we have Nadler appearing to lose his balance before "awkwardly shuffling away" from the podium. On live TV, of course. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Justice Roberts is going to feel a bit queasy this week, and I'll await the diagnosis with anticipation.

I'm actually finding this all quite amusing.

I love your theory. In my view, Clinton and Nadler and Biden and Pelosi... appear to be be genuinely slipping. They exhibit symptoms that I don't think can be faked. Tomato Tomahto. It will be interesting to watch.

And this guy is the picture of health

Only a few more days till the debates.

But, oh yeah, those docs are going to be pumping Biden with those secret anti-dementia drugs, so whatever he says isn't going to be him, its the drugs. He's normally completely addled.

Corto, you seem to be a smart guy. You're in an industry that requires it and you're on a forum that demands it.

Lately, though, you seem to be believing what you read instead of what you see. Trump does his day job and then a couple of hours of standup - "working the crowd" sometimes TWICE a day after the business meetings. Ask Smith how hard it is do standup for a few hours. He handles ad lib questions on the way to the chopper. At the rallies he riffs off of the crowd energy, frequently straying from the teleprompter. Multiple 10's of thousand's of people line up hours in advance, hoping to get a seat. The highest energy show in town.

How do you compare that with a guy who calls a lid at 9:00am every other day, never strays from the teleprompter, has rallies of 5 people in someone's backyard with socially distanced lawn chairs? Do you think people don't notice the difference when they are electing the leader of the free world?

He's got energy, no doubt. But they are ALL old. Neither of them should be running.

So my choice remains, 4 more years of Trump, the stand up comic, rip everyone a new one Twitter guy, or someone who has some more likely ability to bring this country back together, even if it is just a little bit more. Easy choice for me.

All Biden would have to say is I promise not to use Twitter, and he would have my vote.

Both are going to drive us more into debt, in different methods, so that aspect makes no difference to me. I'd rather have money put into social aspect programs vs. more tax cuts.

If I do get a sense in any of these debates that Biden is truly losing it, I'd consider Trump. But again, I'm in IL, so it doesn't matter.

It all comes back to Scott Adams (I think) and how everyone's perception of reality is different.

It's quite frustrating isn't it?

And I'm not saying he's falling down the ramp, either.

But neither is Biden a babbling idiot. He's been known for decades for making gaffs, no? But now those types of gaffs have conveniently been wrapped in potential dementia.

And I'm not saying he doesn't have some level of it, I don't know, I'm not a doctor.

But by the same token, Trump acing the cognitive test he took (which was a joke for anyone with a working brain) is a joke.

Take the CDC. Liberals, esp. have been saying FOLLOW THE SCIENCE. Oops, until the science isn't following their narrative. Then it becomes, Trump must be forcing the CDC to say things. Don't listen to them.

A vaccine is our savior! Unless it comes too fast, then Trump is making it unsafe!

The radical left is going to install antifa and BLM members as your neighbors in the suburbs! No, they aren't.

A conservative judge is going to be the end of America! No.

So much exaggeration and hyperbole, on all sides.

Tuning it out is good for the mind!

Based on other discussion with Carto we ain't on the same side...but dude you nailed this one.

A big AMEN...good heavens, I just want people to use their OWN God-given brains again.

Side note: There are two narratives that arrive every fours years like the sun rises every morning in the east.

D: Narrative...the R candidate is stupid, ignorant, not sophisticated, hates the little people

R: Narrative...the D candidate is a left wing wacko socialist who will turn us into the Soviet Union if given the chance

See you in 2024, different election, same narratives.

8 All things are full of weariness;
a man cannot utter it;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It has been already
in the ages before us.

And today it's being reported that Robert Mueller has joined the ranks of the cognitive decline crowd. That particular infirmity makes it awfully hard to remember the answers to deposition questions, doncha know.
