Face it: Donald Trump, at 78, has lost his grip
The age issue has flipped. In July, President Biden was rightly disqualified as too old for another term. The same is true of Trump today.
Hold on a sec, - just - hold up. You’re telling me, okay, the guy who can’t finish a thought at all, who lies all the time as a conversational style, who wears botched paint on his face with little raccoon cutouts for his beady, cloudy eyes, with his wet hair that goes to the middle of his back all whipped up like cotton candy, in a huge plastic girdle that makes him stand like the front-half of a centaur, with lifts in his shoes, and a high, whiny, grating voice with the jacking-off-two-giants-dance . . . .
You’re telling me he’s worse than the 2016 version? Cause all that’s the same.
he's louder.
and smellier.
Nailed it
He’s eating the dogs
He’s eating the cats
He’s dripping the Syphilis from his tiny mushroom 🍄 peen
He’s emboldened by his Syphilis induced dementia
"grip" wasn't what drew republicans to trump in the first place, it was the authoritarian racism, and he's still got plenty of that, so they're going to support him again, because republicans realized that they could never win on their arguments in a secular egalitarian democracy, which is why they've sought to tear it asunder since the civil rights act, with the southern strategy in 1966. trump isn't a symptom, maga was always the goal.
Weird. I thought he was totally sane in 2016. Stop voting for this weirdo that wants to fuck his daughter. Yes, his crimes are horrible, but the worst part about him is that he is so annoying.

That's because you didn't know about him. He's been pretty much a perv, crook and liar all his life.
I think the real tipping point for me was the day he had a press conference and started looking up at the sky and shouting that he was the chosen one. It seemed like he genuinely believed it and seriously expected god to come down from the heavens to praise him.
Been saying for a couple of years that he went past a tipping point. Not sure when I noticed, 2021 or 2022? Not being funny, but I bet he won't be able to speak in public sometime in the next 2 years.
There was a great article where experts analyzed his speech patterns and it was eye opening.
Found it!
(Crud. Can't get past the paywall.)
Alas, nevermind. :(
I wanted to read it, so here's the archived version. Thanks for sharing!
I feel like I've seen this headline (and slight variants) multiple times in the past few weeks. It's almost a Gish Gallop statement, because where do you begin?
It implies that he had a grip 4/8 years ago.
It implies that he ever had a grip.
It implies that his public statements are weirder now than before, when they've always been bizarre.
It implies that Donald Trump's policy positions are peculiar to him, when really he's basically reflecting what Republicans have been trying to push on us for decades.
No, he's never had a grip, but there's been a noticeable change since even 2016. As there was a noticeable change to 16 from ten years prior. He's just gradually declining. It means nothing for his base that they are voting for a Vance succession, apparently.
Just to be clear—I know it's said that this is almost a gish gallop statement—but it absolutely is not.
Since we're just talking about the headline and not the contents of the article, then this is just a statement. It's not an argument so it can't be a gish gallop. If we take the implications of the statement as premises and the headline as a conclusion, then this is just one singular argument which also means it cannot be a gish gallop. Any argument will have a number of premises. Where do you begin? At any of the premises. Demonstrating that the premises are false will show the conclusion to be false. By definition a gish gallop is a great number of arguments that overwhelm an opponent. One argument simply cannot be a gish gallop.
Let him drag the entire GOP to hell with him.
If you're young...
Never, never, ever let Republicans forget this is who they are. If they try to claim less government or family values ever again, the response is Donald Trump.
Problem is he may take the USA down with him
America will remain. There's a chance it'll remain as three separate countries.
This will be a VERY challenging time, if so, and the risks of Chinese loan sharks or oppressor-nation saboteurs will be very high.
But, when it's done, we'll all have two strong coastal nations, a brand new arctic province and a mexican state, and a central area for everyone to ship their lead, cobalt, and recyclables.
That happened well before his first presidential run.
He has been mildly incoherent for a couple of decades. In the past most of his apparent dithering can be attributed to figuring out how to say something repugnant or false without becoming legally liable. As his mind decays this meandering style of speech has become untethered. He can't remember the complicated web of lies anymore. I wonder how much self awareness he truly has.
What, just now?

If you have nothing to add to the conversation then shut the fuck up. You're annoying enough as is, but when you literally have no reason to post, then don't fucking post!
