“The White House press corps would be in wolf pack mode if Biden were in the middle of a speech and suddenly veered into gibberish about boats and sharks. There would be front-page stories questioning whether the president, at 81, was suffering from dementia; and the op-ed pages would be filled with thumb-suckers about whether Vice President Harris and the Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment."

~ Eugene Robinson

@wdlindsy Although the format of the show is a bit rough, I would recommend that anybody interested in mental condition consider listening to the podcast called 'Shrinking Trump'. Two mental health professionals and their weekly guests both reinforce the fact (via speech analysis) that Trump is suffering from early-onset dementia and malignant narcissism and the fact that the mainstream media seems intent on not reporting on this.

Trump is not OK, and should not be making decisions that would devastate the US and the world.

@jerry How many more days of burning truck gif (aka your current employment)? Alas, I didnt add your countdown timer into my startup script so I need to ask.

While I am glad for you that (this) shitshow will be over, I will miss the near daily appearance of the truck-on-fire.

Update on my dad...

For background, my mid 70's parents drove from ATL to Michigan on Thursday to attend my neice's high school graduation. Friday morning, my dad wasn't feeling well and he kept feeling worse. After convincing himself that it wasn't just indigestion, he went to a local hospital ER. While there, he started developing intense pain in his chest. The ER docs hooked him up to an EKG and ran an enzyme test to see if he had a heart attack. They came back clean. But the pain was worsening. The doc administered some morphine, which apparently did nothing. They hooked him back up to the EKG and monitored him for a bit. While monitoring him, he had a heart attack.

The docs rushed him into surgery where he needed 3 stents to open up an artery that was 99% blocked.

He was moved out of ICU into a regular bed today and expects to be discharged tomorrow. He has to wear a defibrillator vest for the next 3 months, while he is assessed for futher treatments. My dad describes the vest as a "bra with metal pop-tarts all the way around his chest". I had a chance to talk to him today and he says that he feels better than he has in many years, other than the pop tart bra.

The doctor told him that the only real reason he was able to survive was that it happened while he was in the hospital. Apparently this sort of heart attack is not one that people commonly survive otherwise.

I am immensely grateful to the doctors, nurses, scientists, janitors, clerical staff, and so on, that gave me and my family the incredible gift of more time with my dad.

@jerry Thank you for the update. Aging issues do indeed suck.

Regarding the medication, you might want to check out Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs site to see if that medication (or others either of your parents may need to be on) is available cheaper there than other options. Without getting into the weeds of my situation, that site has saved my ass on two ongoing expensive maintenance medications.

@clankgy1@infosec.exchange avatar

@jerry Without sharing the specific medication(s), I'm curious if they offer it/them for what your parents need. I was stunned that they carried the ones that I needed as they are considered somewhat niche.

A feeble and confused #Trump posts a typo-riddled all-caps rant misspelling “Biden,” “disinforms,” “misinforms,” and other basic words

ICYMI, Lisa Rubin's version:

On eve of oral argumt on eligib to run in CO primary, the man now known as citizen is awaiting decision in NY AG civil fraud case. But ’s discussions w DA have now become a thing.

Specifically Engoron notes if Weisselberg indeed admitted or will admit to lying under oath in his ctrm, he deserves not only to know but also could determine ALL of his testimony is not credible

(Falsus in uno is shorthand for false in 1 thing, false in everything.)

@clankgy1@infosec.exchange avatar

@GottaLaff While Engoron's approach is solid IMO. it is frustrating to see yet enother accountability proceeding being delayed. At least this time, it doesn't appear that TFG is the one throwing the caltrops.

Maybe I should re-nickname Marj Q Greene ... Marj NO-IQ Greene.

Via Eric Kleefeld:

MTG is a top, influential member of the House Republicans, and she openly believes that Joe Biden getting inaugurated was an “insurrection.”

Greene: When they came to Washington to protest, you called that an insurrection but when Biden was inaugurated and this Capitol was surrounded with National Guard troops, none of you stood there and called that an insurrection

#NikkiHaley: "The Repub incumbent, Donald #Trump, did not get 43% of the vote in New Hampshire. That's a prob. He's not winning any additional people. He's not winning independents, he's not winning suburban women... he's not talking about anything but himself

Trump spent $50m of his campaign $ against him. Think about that. That's why he's not on TV in S Carolina. That's why he's not doing rallies is bc he's using all the money to pay for his legal fees. That's the story."

E Jean's lawyers are simply awesome.

👀 Via Klasfeld:

News

#EJeanCarroll's lead attorney threatened SANCTIONS against Trump lawyer Alina #Habba over her "utterly baseless" claim that a federal judge had an undisclosed conflict of interest. #legal #Trump

Habba's conflict claim is based entirely on a single-anon source story in NY Post.

Carroll's lawyer ques how the tabloid came to publish it & if the supposed partner at Paul Weiss — the firm where she and the judge both worked— "even exists."

@clankgy1@infosec.exchange avatar

@GottaLaff Threatening does nothing. Do or do not, there is no try. Without getting slapped around by the legal system, Habba will continue her shit-tier lawyering.
