Dementia and Alzheimer’s patients have a very difficult time staying focused and awake. Remember Ronald Reagan falling asleep with the Pope when they were trying to hide the fact that President Reagan had Alzheimer’s? I don’t wish either of those diseases on anybody, but people need to wake up and smell the roses and see what’s really going on!!

Thanks for the great take on today’s day in court.

I certainly don’t wish Alzheimer’s on Trump. Not that it isn’t obvious he’s already in serious mental decline.

But I want him awake, alert, with all his faculties intact. I don’t want him missing a minute of his incarceration and knowing exactly how fucked he is.

Him getting Alzheimer’s lets him escape that.

So I’m writing another comment to my comment. I’m off the road for the night and I finally had time to look at major media and Substacks. How can there be such a glaring difference? CNN doesn’t mention a single thing. WaPo only says he nodded off. Nope Ogre, ageism will not be dead after the first day of court because journalism is out to lunch and maybe dinner too☹️

The scent would be like burning sulfur in this court case.

Lol, I guess the proceedings were just too dull even if your freedom is at stake. He went a little heavy on his mud facial too.

It’s not like he doesn’t know the story by heart - he wrote it.

Wrote it but denies authorship

Classic Judge Kacsmaryk move.

My first thought was that maybe his lawyers gave him something to calm him down and it was a little too effective

They roofied him! Hah!

That was my thought, too. Finally!!! —a way to get him to sit still and shut the f--k up!!!

Guaranteed. Probably Valium.

He was probably sundowning all night, so they gave me some type of benzo. His lawyers needed him calm. I much prefer the sleepy version of him instead of his constant bitching & moaning.

Maybe they didn't get an Adderall break today.

A Cornell psychologist stated that Drumpf has phonemic paraphasia - swapping parts of words for other words - and is a sign of dementia. At his Saturday rally he did this several times, as in trying to say “alien” that turned into”allinthin”.

But this was never “the last real attack the press had on Biden.” It was never real, except real stupid manufactured ageist shit.

That's true. Not "real" as in "true" but real as in effective.

Ah. You forget though, evidence wnd facts don't matter to their talking points. I understand every rightwing source is silent on this.

Can't imagine why.

This is the sort of thing that happens when you stay up all night angry tweeting on social media.

But about Don. This is the guy who was against the US Korea free trade agreement because they weren’t ’paying enough.’ So a letter was prepared, and snatched off his desk. He didn’t miss it. That’s a problem.

A bigger problem is that if Trump is re-elected, his staff will be sycophants and guard rails will be removed.

Or he wasn’t asleep at all but was trying to demonstrate his contempt for the proceedings. Don’t @me, I hate him too. I just wish he’d 🤯 already.

I like your thought process re: contempt, but it’s more likely he was bored out of his everlasting mind after he finished bonding with or intimidating jurors as they were interviewed.

I could not claim to be unbiased as a juror, although I do relish the truth of an issue, but the joy of glaring back at him would be delicious.

Until I was kicked off the jury.

“The press loves to both sides everything. So here’s permission to both sides the fuck out of the age topic.”

You know they won’t do that. Both Sides has never actually meant Both Sides. It means that a Republican misdeed has to be balanced by a Democratic one, even if the equivalence, or the misdeed itself, has to be created out of whole cloth. It never happens in the opposite direction.
