    heron replied to Beerman's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Trump is not the only one to deal with scary possibilities by refusing to ask the questions. There's more than one expert who believes that it's likely that trump is mentally impaired. Does that...

    Exactly. Most nurses learn early on to avoid premature "conclusions" about disease processes. But ... maga has its marching orders. Speculation =/= conclusion. It's true! Look it

    I hadn't thought of that - good point. I don't believe trump had a head CT. I said I wish I could see one but that I doubted that he would allow it. AEB his proposal for dealing with the rapidly...

    Yup. I first posted about that tactic quite some time ago here on AN - back when spidey'smom, viva las viejas. AZhiker, Zashagalka and other conservatives were posting frequently. Rush Limbaugh and...

    Of course they are. It makes a nice distraction from trumps mental dysfunction. Whether you think it's deteriorating or same-old-same-old, there's no question that the word salad, flight of ideas,...

    Maybe someone should point out that everybody dies and there's a special place in hell for sadistic sycophants. May trump and his merry band of psychopaths get back what they give out three times...

    Would still love to see trump's head CT. Since trump's solution to negative heath trendsis to stop testing, I doubt he would even give

    Still, this wouldn't be the first time a disease has been present and progressing for a long time, sometimes years, before becoming symptomatic enough to trigger a work-up. Pancreatic cancer,...

    heron replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    So ... if I understand your post properly, Biden was probably in the no-regular-testing age group for up to 18 years prior to having actual symptoms. I suggest that we hold off getting all thin...

    Well, whether stable or unstable, "mental health disorder" is definitely high on my index of suspicion. It's only one of the factors that could be affecting his performance, but I'm continuing to...

    I disagree that Trump's mental health seems stable. But, then, my viewpoint is significantly different from yours. Until I see more of his mental health history, it's all very speculative anyway. Will...

    Then you're not paying attention. The fact that you're not seeing any discussion of trump's mental and emotional disabilities outside this forum kinda proves my point, doesn't it? I've been seeing it...

    Probably. It's nothing new. It's how we create wealth and who wouldn't want more of that? It kills a multitude of birds with one stone. It'll further decimate the public school system, for one...
