For four years libs were screaming about ageism and immediately go back to it when Trump comes around again. Both these guys should be disqualified if the US was in any way a meaningful democracy and not a terminal empire with a useless gerontocracy and corrupt oligarchy.
anyone over retirement age should be barred from running, and that should not be controversial.
If you got on a plane and the pilot was 80 you'd be a bit worried, and we let these fucks run the most powerful nation ever to exist.
This article and every one like it have been on repeat since 2016, I dunno how people still have the attention span for "today's Trump insanity" after 8 years. It should be obvious to anyone this has no effect on politics and only makes news orgs money.
Seriously. "Latest rally consistent with dementia," great, so were all of the others.
Word, I’m burned the fuck out on these articles almost as much as the ones that say that Trump is just steps away from prison (tangentially related: fuck MeidasTouch and their ilk)
Wake me up when something actually matters again
I think it's the news media exploiting people's desire for something cathartic in lieu of having any meaningful politics to change anything. US politics right now is like a show/spectacle that people react to from opposite sides. Posting the same fucking articles and memes is like a way to manufacture and participate in a simulation of your individual political views having some significance, outside of any popular politics where they could actually change something. This is clearly the case with Trump too, for all the insane shit he governed like a milquetoast Republican.
Trump saying Hannibal Lecter is coming across the southern border is batshit crazy
I hear "[Hannibal Lector] was a nice fellow but that's what's coming into our country right now."
wtf do you have a link? It wasn't in the article
This is basically that South Park episode "Mexican Joker" where all the dumbass border patrol agents think there's a Mexican Joker coming across the border.
Fuck me, this guy is a moron.
We’ve moved from the world of ‘Simpsons already did it’ to the world of ‘South Park already did it’ and that’s a horrible state of affairs
I'm not defending Trump, but don't statements like these run counter to the Goldwater Rule?
The wiki article you linked has a section on Trump and how it does not break the rule. So I would say, based on the evidence you presented, no it doesn’t.
That section does not describe how it does not break the Goldwater Rule. I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion based on what it reads in the section.
It lists specific instances where the rule and commentary on Trump intersect, as well as citing commentators that disagree with the APA about how the Goldwater Rule is applied with Trump.
Except it does. It states that the Goldwater Rule applies to members of the APA only and that the APsaA does not consider it an ethical matter. So it is an ethical guideline of a certain organization so the members of the APsaA are not breaking any rule since it is not part of their organizations ethical guidelines.
Lol, they have an entire section on Trump. That's how crazy the guy is.
His puppeteers are salivating though.
It’s an important factor though - the end of Reagan’s presidency included lots of speculation about who was making decisions as he deteriorated. Whether you like the guy’s policies or not, you should “get what you paid for” rather than policy be decided by an unelected advisor or family member
If Congress hadn't been purchased by the same people who would be making decisions for a demented president, they could invoke the amendment to replace him with the VP.
But that might be pure projection, if you take into account what one psychologist said on Saturday.
Yeah, so one random guy claims something? Bullshit article.
I hate trump beyond and can't wait for him to die already, the world will be hetter for it, but that doesn't change that these fluff articles are nonsense.
While I do really hate this guy, and I also assume he isn't mentally fit to manage a Wendy's, never mind being president...we shouldn't be listening to doctors willing to diagnose psychiatric conditions or mental health based on how someone is acting on TV. No doctor can get enough data to make an accurate diagnosis that way.
Yet they have telemedicine, that is tantamount to "how someone is acting on TV", no?
What? Absolutely not. Are you talking to people on your TV? More importantly, are they answering your questions? Have you ever even had a telemedicine appointment?
For Medical marijuana with an M.D. By the way, they now have AI to detect malingering by video. so... if an AI can do it, the doctor could use the tool & get the results as their own. That's what is happening Right Now with AI. People are passing off AI results as their own, and they are generally better. My understanding is AI can get 90% on the LSAT & by next week will probably have the same result or better on the MCAT. [zero passes]
Yeah, Any doctor thats willing to go on TV and diagnose someone they've never personally met, is a doctor that should be ignored and avoided.
cause no reputable doctor will go on TV and do that shit.
Plenty of reputable doctors will go on TV to discuss illnesses and shit, but they wont diagnose someone like this.
This cat is a PhD doctor, not a medical doctor. I wouldn't listen to any of his diagnosises.
I got this comment in my message replies and i was confused for a solid minute about why you were denigrating a poor cats college efforts before I clicked the link to see the context and realized, oh, yeah.. not meow cat. lol
He has enough money to pay right? All the lies are bought
I mean, what shine the article, it's the hatred. thats as far as possible from any clinical stance.
