POTUS 45.10 - Stage Two in Perpetuity

Dementia? Nah - when it's not scripted, he talks exactly like you'd expect a self-trained, egomaniacal real estate schmuck to talk. He was like that in the 80s and 90s, too. The difference is that Orange Droolius is in so far over his head, that using sales-speak to describe history, or foreign policy moves just sounds like dementia.

Media needs to stick to the APA rule; you don't diagnose a patient you've never examined in person.

Agree entirely. Don't ascribe to dementia what can be explained by simple stupidity and dickishness. Trump isn't mentally ill, he's just dumb and mean.

Obviously the Russian thing is a thing that will take time to put together and prosecute/investigate, but for the general public, WHAT will be the last straw? This stuff keeps building, and building......when will it be "Ok, that's enough. At the minimum, for the good of the GOP, President Trump, just stop. Resign on your own terminology, but just resign and blame who you have to?"

I know he won't, but let's roll with the possibility.

Trump would have to be caught banging two pre-teen Muslim boys while screaming "Allah Akbar!!" at the top of his lungs, while in the background Ivanka is getting the full golden shower treatment from a couple of old Muslim women in full hibab while Jared watches from the corner whipping his skippy and reciting the Koran.

And even that probably wouldn't be enough.

We cannot sit and wait for our norms to save us. We must save our norms.

This over-ripening scandal is potentially so much bigger than Watergate, that it will be getting it's own moniker.

You think from now on instead of -gate scandals will be -trump?

Re: POTUS 45.10 - Stage Two in Perpetuity

Stories now about how Trump's awkward and illogical speech may be evidence of cognitive decline. I'll bet the guy can't smell a thing.

For you to have decline, first you have to have cognitive.

Depends on the scope.

"-ghazi" for fake scandals
"-gate" for minor ones
"-TBD" for RICO and/or treason

A local radio station's Facebook page posted the Melania hand slapping video. A friend of mine defended it, saying Melania swatted his hand away because it was inappropriate to do in that country. I haven't seen that anywhere else, have you? She's another apologist and I want to say BULL****. But wanted to check before I did.

The good news is that Hannity is choosing this as his hill to die on. He has refused to retract and may starting getting the O'Reilly treatment from advertisers.

It was mildly amusing when the trophy wife (First Trophy?) slapped away those tiny groping fingers, but the whole story is being blown way out of proportion. What benefit is there to trying to force the ogre and his prize into some hand-holding cultural norm of marital bliss that would be an obvious lie? And if she's domineering or proud or whatever well, good for her for hanging onto a shred of dignity. I'd leave her alone. He could use a little dominating.
And sorry if this has been covered - I haven't had time to read the thread
