    A few days after warning that Biden will lead us into "World War Two,"
    and claiming that he beat Obama in the 2016 election,

    Trump now says that Jeb Bush invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Trump is not well. Cognitively impaired.

    Bullshit. He appeared to be perfectly intact before about a month ago,
    when it appeared he might actually be convicted of jailable offenses.
    Queue up the apologists, and the sycophant press.

    Or maybe he's old and senile. Isn't that what the Repubs have been
    complaining about Biden?

    Can't believe this election is shaping up to be a contest between a
    bunch of cognitively impaired [supposedly] old men.

    NEW PARTIES NOW.

    chronic substance abuse or impending dementia, which is consistent
    with the blank eyes. His blotchy red and puffy face (and constant
    sniffling) are not new but underscore a clinician's natural suspicion
    that he is not cognitively healthy. His cartoon character menacing and bellicose posture is second nature to him."

    As an outsider it does seem a bit odd that people in the USA choose to
    elect people in their 70's as President... in other walks of life these
    people would have retired and be drawing their old age pensions!

    It seems a very dysfunctional way to run a country!!!

    Jessica: But you said, okay, you don't need to watch him, let's just
    hear what comes out of his mouth, and I put together some of Trump's
    latest cognitive beauties from the last ten days. He said you need an
    ID to buy bread. Has anyone shown ID to buy Wonder Bread lately?

    POTUS has access to others' opinions, etc. It can be dysfunctional
    when POTUS does it his way.

    He's trying to put on a show to avoid jail. He is not cognitively
    impaired; He knows exactly what he is doing.

    Exactly. JAB is falling for the same BS propaganda, just the other way
    around.

    Really? "Donald Trump liable for business fraud, says judge in New

    He didn't consider "consequences."

    Really? If nothing else, there is the "insanity" plea. I am not well
    read on this subject, but I'd have to imagine that there ought to be
    something similar for someone suffering dementia. Still, obviously, I'm speculating here.

    No, he didn't consider any consequences. I should have said that he
    "knows what he's trying to do". That doesn't mean he'll succeed. I
    suspect that he won't succeed... Trump's goose is "cooked", and he is
    grasping at straws.

    I believe this represents a true fish story.

    What does the expression fish story mean?

    an exaggerated story
