I mean…come ON. I saw some of that speech this weekend. He talks like he’s drunk AND has early-ish dementia. And I know what both of those look like, with drinkers in my family and having been my mother’s caregiver for her Alzheimer’s until she died last August. Impossible to imagine Donald functioning at even a basic level in that White House job.
He never functioned at a basic level when he was in the WH. He was taking the morning to watch ‘Fox and Friends’, doing his hair and makeup, etc. He didn’t reach the Oval Office until noon or later. Then he played golf at every opportunity, charging millions of dollars to taxpayers at his clubs. He even charged high rates for golf carts for his Secret Service details.
My mother had it too -- it's so sad to see our loved ones go down that rabbit hole. *DJT's father had it too so what we're really seeing is how genetics works in real time.
I wish the media would run some of the old interviews with him, and side by side them with his current state of rambling. As Mary says, there is a marked difference. It would be great if the media would show the actual difference.
Another thing they need to do is publish the exact transcripts of all his speeches after every one of those rage rallies or his softball interviews his bud, Hannity, has with him. Those transcripts are EYE-OPENING!!
Don’t they run their ads on Fox, OANN, NewsMax?? Or do those networks refuse their money?
They need to make sure & run their ads during the type of regular tv network shows that maga ppl like to watch. I’d bet money that a lot of the women watch the soaps
The problem is that very few people see such videos. Meanwhile, the entire MSM is talking nonstop about Biden's age and refusing to cover his many successes or Trump's many failures.
That would be what unbiased reporting would look like but you and I know that the majority of the media is owned by corporations who stand to reap much profit by having Trump in the White House. It's way past time to expect the media to be fair with the possible exception of NPR.
Remember, the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Don't know who came up with that definition but it's apropos our constant expectations of objective journalism here. It doesn't exist anymore in America so let's find other avenues for our news and find ways to get the truth to our country.
The MSM *will* run such videos about Biden ... I've seen them. Biden is definitely not as articulate as he once was and it doesn't have anything to do with a stutter. But he's *competent* -- in fact this is the most competent administration in decades. And he's not a grifter, a bigot, a pathological liar, and a fascist like Trump. Comments about Trump's speech work to push back at the focus on Biden's age, but we have to go way beyond that to the issues.
He scared me from the moment he came down the escalator and launched into
a bigoted rant about Mexicans and yada, yada… On Election Day 2020 I went to the doctor for a routine checkup and my blood pressure was 190/95. I’ve been clinging to the hope that the courts would prevent him from taking office again. Now the idea of him being president again terrifies me. As you said, he’s been unfit for so many reasons from the beginning. Now I’m hearing that he’s going to get Intelligence briefings!
He’s absolutely losing what little cognitive ability he had. I completely agree with your assessment of his mental status. That combined with his complete disregard for the law, respect for others and the fact that he’s already shared classified information makes him truly dangerous!
I just heard a segment on MSNBC about him getting security briefings. There are still too many people and institutions treating him as if he were "normal" and trustworthy.
Gail -- Absolutely no one should get security briefings without some mental and background check. Donald didn't even bother to read them when he was president! The preparers finally got them down to one page for him, and he still ignored them. Stop and think about who will actually run the country if he is re-elected! He ran out all his generals who had the experience and depended on flunkies.
Many of the journalists on msnbc have, in fact, said he shouldn’t be allowed to get security briefings, bringing up all the latest news about his mishandling of the classified docs. They are postulating/hoping that if Biden insists on allowing it, he will receive a
*dumbed down* version. Even when he was President, he was so disinterested & they couldn’t get him to pay attention, that they eventually streamlined it down to 1 page & even then he didn’t read it.
Norah, I had an academic advisor in my college days (c. 1971) in the Sociology dept. who told me on graduation day that I would need to develop a good sense of humor or go stark raving mad. Your last post strikes me as a good example of 5he kind of humor he may have had in mind. I’ve observed that people seem to learn a lot while being entertained. We also seem to enjoy sharing things that we find funny with others. It seems like it might be a good way to educate people about this dangerous situation. After interviewing The President for his report about improper possession and storage of classified documents, the special prosecutor decided not to charge him with any crimes because he presents as a well meaning elderly gentleman with memory issues. Now I ask, who would be better possessing government secrets, an egotistical con man sinking into dementia or a well meaning elderly gentleman with memory issues? I know my preference.
As I read your post about people learning a lot while being entertained I flashed back on THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS. Does anyone on here remember that hilarious comedy show? Wouldn't it be terrific to have something like that show during prime time satirizing Trump?
Saturday Night Live did a good job but it was on too late for many I think.
Your Uncle is in bad shape. He's not far from having to be wheeled out like "Weekend at Bernie's". Come on all you free subscribers. This is great bang for the buck. Give it Hell, Mary!😃😃
MSM is glossing over it. That paired with today's Supreme Court ruling is leading me to believe that Big Business is successfully attempting to fix this election out of greed. I will vote, but I am expecting a lot of violence this year. Going to visit the friends and relatives overseas before November, as I don't know if our country's passport will be viable if Donald wins again. Stocking up on goods, cutting unnecessary expenditures and preparing for a worst case scenario. We citizens are on our own now. Vote.
I hope you both can chill a bit. The Orange Menace cannot win. I have big bets on that. I, like Mary, am a retired therapist, and I don't know of any competent therapists who think another Trump term is going to happen. Many people are gullible and incapable of clear critical thinking; however, most have a moral core and will not press the Trump button in November.
With all due respect you have too high an opinion of the moral core of Americans, sorry to say. An awful lot of German Jews thought that way about the German people's response to Hitler and found out the truth tragically. When people tell who they are believe them. We've been told.
As someone who is 70% Irish, and 20% German Jew, I am listening to my Spidey Senses, and being extremely proactive. There's a reason my 20% has no living relatives in Berlin since WW2.
hope you're right - watching interviews with MAGAs are terrifying - NO moral core, no basic intelligence, a bunch of damaged amygdala's following their chief damaged amygdala
They are terrifying, & so uneducated. Saw one recently where a news guy was interviewing a small group of young men waiting on Trump to arrive & they flat out said they didn’t think women should be allowed to vote!!
When they were asked who they thought should vote, they answered Christian men….& we all know they left 1 word out.
@Harlemscorp, No-I do not listen to MAGA cultists because they are delusional, ignorant and have no ability to think critically. The proof, however, is in the pudding. No way can The Orange Menace win in November.
No, you chill. He definitely can win. And therapists have no relevant expertise on this political question. And Mary definitely thinks Trump can win, which is why she sounds the alarm about him.
"Many people are gullible and incapable of clear critical thinking"
I’ve been researching many countries to move to. Trying to see, of course, if it’s not monetarily out of my reach, if they have a large ex-Pat community.
The governments of quite a few countries are starting to lean right so I’m making sure I don’t wind up with a country like that…
I agree but I think we have been on our own for a long time. The sad part of all this is the inactivity of our people. I lived through the 60's when the youth of America rose up in rebellion and were effective in ending the Vietnam War. Whats happened to the voices of dissent in America? Why aren't we shouting from the rooftops that Democracy is in danger of being destroyed by Trump and Corporate America?
They're the same people voting their own interests now. They don't care about the greater good. Generation Z protests, but they need to get to the polls.
I have been an environmental activist since 1979, and no one cares. They're too busy trying to survive.
I suggest they have time for social media. I Suggest they spend less time on their phones and more on doing something to improve the current condition of our democracy.
Mare very encouraged about Taylor Swift urging her millions of followers to vote. I guess we're truly in a new world where social media has the power to move folks into action. Good for Taylor Swift.
I mean, for example, when did we stop teaching our kids manners and respect for their elders ..... Little things like that?
All progress has not been positive.
Thought Society would become " better" Viet Nam, but it has just worsened. Never thought the SCOTUS would become a 6 member henchmen for either political party, in my lifetime. (1943 baby, here & mentally sound, just a bit slow moving;⏳⌛😲😂😂😎♏)
Like your Grandfather Fred, my Mom had Alzheimer's. I'm seeing the same signs in PO1135809. It's sad the family continues to allow him to show the world, they obviously received his compassion gene...
They are in fear of him. Mary's brother went over to his side, following the suit for their father's share of the Trump inheritance pot. Donald tried to steal the WHOLE thing bcz of his father's Alzheimer's disease .
DJT lost his reasoning and ethical abilities some time in his childhood, if he ever had any. What bothers me the most is that so many Americans follow this pied piper of self-interest, self-destruction, hatred, and divisiveness. Why have so many people who once were sane, logical, moral, and smart following him into historical damnation?
Mare, they've stop teaching Social Studies ( the Mores of a Society), Civics , World History and even Cursive penmanship.... In America. Who does that???? Kinda dooms a Country to failure at some point, seems like to me😲🤔🙄😡
Raymond, they just crawled from under the rocks, creeped out of the caves, slither out of the barns and jumped into Damien's arms, where the permission slips were given for them to be " Your true selves".
They were here all the time, lurking in the shadows . Check out some of the films & footages from the Civil Rights time period, look at the faces of hatred; same people down the generations.
Only goes to show you that they were NOT sane, logical, moral or smart. Trump is who they see when they look in the mirror or who they desire to be. This is mass projection.
Which brings up the question: why are there so many who have probably been disaffected from childhood? Could one reason be terrible or no parenting? Which happens when women have no ability or inclination to abort an unwanted child in the first place.
What goeth around cometh around. . . and ruineth the country.
Also, remember when the very lives of Pence, Pelosi and others really were in serious danger —the Jan.6 nightmare —and how Trump did not seem to care in the least? That's pretty
If they had actually gotten their hands on some of those officials and killed them . . . ???? Clearly, if anyone, it is Trump himself who deserves that kind of treatment.
I think that charisma has to do with sloughing off socializing and signalling to the susceptible that they too can throw off the chains of decent behaviour that they have resentfully laboured under and can loudly be their very worst selves
Charisma in general amounts to something like being a socially adept and glib, smooth-operator who makes a great first or superficial impression. It is, of course, not at all a bad thing in itself. But it's not hard to see how that can be a facade —a false front that can hide a sinister reality, and suck people into circumstances in which they're being exploited, or . . . you get the idea.
There needs to be a concerted effort on behalf of Biden by the medical community to highlight these exact differences between aging brain and demented brain. I’ve seen the difference in the assisted living community my mom was a resident of before she passed FROM DEMENTIA. It is so clear that’s what’s happening to him.
People are not voting about that. Biden is more honest than Trump, and that should be obvious. The fact that people no longer see honesty as a positive thing is a gigantic problem.
There's Noone better able to show that he's mentally competent than Biden himself. He has to address this issue directly like JFK addressed his Catholicism directly and calmed those who were claiming the Pope would be running the country. I suppose most of you on here are too young to remember that or maybe you weren't born yet. But the right wing of the 60's hated Catholics and Kennedy faced it head on and won. Biden's mental acuity has to be handled by Biden.
I just sent an email to Pres Biden urging him to speak directly to the issue of his mental acuity. If you want to urge him on the address is: president@whitehouse.gov.
Thanks Mary! I’ve noticed how his thinking seems to be when I can stomach his speeches. He’s really losing it. Vote blue everyone and get trump and all his maga buddies out. Then maybe we can move on to changing the Constitution to eliminate the corrupt Scotuses.
There’s no need to do a Constitutional Amendment, which is very difficult, to fix the scotus. Congress has the power to expand the court & it’s been done in the past. Please listen to Elie Mystal’s podcast “Contempt of Court”, he has excellent legal ideas about how to correct the court.
His book; “Allow Me to Retort - A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution” it is so educational with great ideas
He's an evil man with no regard for his fellow man. I saw this in the 80's when he was building the Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City (another one of his failed businesses) and bankrupted several of his sub contractors that were Mom and Pop businesses because he refused to pay them the agreed amount in their contracts......They didn't have the money to fight him. Of course, he did, because he was still using his inheritance. And still boasting about his non existent "self made man" BS
Just listened to a documentary on Roku streaming that speaks to the 2 kinds of energies in nature. 1. The Bees, who have a special connection to Source as part of a symbiotic system helping beauty and diversity to flourish. There's one heart that connects all. A Hive Mind. Like an open brain the hive sends out its dreams into the world to be manifested.
2. The Locusts devours everything in its path. It has no choice. A Locust's behavior is rigid.
We humans are unique. We can act like a Bee or a Locust. We are free to change. We can exist symbiotically or as a Parasite.
Taken from doc series Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds.
This explains a lot about our culture today especially Trump and his enablers. The Locusts. The Parasites devouring everything in sight and never satisfied.
Whenever I see the argument that "Joe is in a decline just as bad as Donald" my standard response is:
I don't believe for one moment that Jill Biden would not sit down with Joe if he was experiencing *legitimate* mental difficulty and say, "Joe, reasonably, you have to step aside."
Nor do I believe for one moment Kamala Harris has such little integrity she would "go along" with an increasingly mentally incapacitated President.
She wouldn't do that to the country, and neither would Jill. I just don't buy it.
Dean Phillips has been saying that the only reason he's in the primary is because "superstars" in the Democratic party, like Gavin Newsom, are declining to step into the race and challenge Joe's competence because "they're afraid of challenging the status quo."
Nonsense. They're not stepping in because *Joe is fine.*
Thanks, Mary, for saying what needs to be said about about Trump’s seriously declining abilities and, also, about Biden’s solid ability to grasp important national and international issues and to act on them appropriately...with, of course, his incredibly talented team. Keep up your great work!
His dementia will make it even easier for Bannon, Miller and Putin to manipulate him. NONE of them should be anywhere near POTUS, but the Surreal Court doesn’t seem to be worried about that.
it is so frustrating that the media misrepresents President Biden's mental ability and ignores Trump's cognitive issues. They cover him like he's behaving normally when he's not! How can the people that attend his rallies still want to vote for him? I feel like I'm in some kind of bizarroworld!
I mean…come ON. I saw some of that speech this weekend. He talks like he’s drunk AND has early-ish dementia. And I know what both of those look like, with drinkers in my family and having been my mother’s caregiver for her Alzheimer’s until she died last August. Impossible to imagine Donald functioning at even a basic level in that White House job.
He never functioned at a basic level when he was in the WH. He was taking the morning to watch ‘Fox and Friends’, doing his hair and makeup, etc. He didn’t reach the Oval Office until noon or later. Then he played golf at every opportunity, charging millions of dollars to taxpayers at his clubs. He even charged high rates for golf carts for his Secret Service details.
I agree with you.
Early-ish? Hell, it seems like full-blown dementia to me. I remember my paternal grandmother when she had it.
Well, early into mid. Hence the “ish.”
My mother had it too -- it's so sad to see our loved ones go down that rabbit hole. *DJT's father had it too so what we're really seeing is how genetics works in real time.
I wish the media would run some of the old interviews with him, and side by side them with his current state of rambling. As Mary says, there is a marked difference. It would be great if the media would show the actual difference.
Another thing they need to do is publish the exact transcripts of all his speeches after every one of those rage rallies or his softball interviews his bud, Hannity, has with him. Those transcripts are EYE-OPENING!!
That’s a great idea. I’d love to see that.
Send that suggestion to The DNC.
The DNC doesn't own the MSM. The problem is that the MSM refuses to cover this stuff.
The Lincoln Project will do it. They make some great ads
Very few people see that stuff, and people dismiss it as biased. There's no comparison to the MSM reporting Trump's decline as news.
Don’t they run their ads on Fox, OANN, NewsMax?? Or do those networks refuse their money?
They need to make sure & run their ads during the type of regular tv network shows that maga ppl like to watch. I’d bet money that a lot of the women watch the soaps
And as we can't count on the media to do this, maybe Mary can find someone to put a video together illustrating this.
Look to the Lincoln Project. They’ve been creating some ads illustrating his moronic speeches.
Indeed... they are masters at exposing his non-sensical bloviation/rantings.
Lincoln Project and Medias Touch or Glen Kirschner... perhaps. 🤔💯
They preach to the choir.
Agree, Media's Touch is very good.
I agree! A fine idea.
Great idea!
The problem is that very few people see such videos. Meanwhile, the entire MSM is talking nonstop about Biden's age and refusing to cover his many successes or Trump's many failures.
Biden's reelection campaign manager should be doing that! Always four steps behind!
Stop blaming the good guys. The MSM refuses to report it.
That would be what unbiased reporting would look like but you and I know that the majority of the media is owned by corporations who stand to reap much profit by having Trump in the White House. It's way past time to expect the media to be fair with the possible exception of NPR.
Remember, the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

Everyone attributes it to Einstein but it was actually Rita Mae Brown (figures that a woman wouldn't get credit for her work). https://www.businessinsider.com/misattributed-quotes-2013-10
I agree!! Great idea!

He ran out all his generals who had the experience and depended on flunkies.
Completely agree Gail
Many of the journalists on msnbc have, in fact, said he shouldn’t be allowed to get security briefings, bringing up all the latest news about his mishandling of the classified docs. They are postulating/hoping that if Biden insists on allowing it, he will receive a
*dumbed down* version. Even when he was President, he was so disinterested & they couldn’t get him to pay attention, that they eventually streamlined it down to 1 page & even then he didn’t read it.
imo he absolutely should not get any briefing
Indeed.
I could have written this.
I knew he was a Sociopath when he never got a dog for the White House.
They probably wouldn’t allow him to get a pooch because he’d kill the poor baby.
First President to not have a pet of some sort with them.
He said Barron had allergies. BS lie. He could’ve got a Bichon or Maltese because they’re hypoallergenic.
My daughter had severe allergies and she never had a reaction to either one.
Then all of a sudden there were plenty of the symptoms of Sociopathy.
I just want him to to gtfo. Now…
As I understand it, sociopaths are made, psychopaths are born. Maybe he's both. Lucky guy.

Do you read Jeff Tiedrich’s Substack?
He’s funny as hell & does a Saturday morning edition called: This Week in Stupid. His was the 2nd one I subscribed to, the 1st was Jo Jo from Jerz
Ummmmmm, maybe you need to consider the source of that report a bit more.
THE DARK TRIAD. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/dark-triad

Only $340,000,000. a ticket. To go to a worthy cause.

How is one in fear of an old, overweight, demented person? I know, I own Mary's book.
DJT lost his reasoning and ethical abilities some time in his childhood, if he ever had any. What bothers me the most is that so many Americans follow this pied piper of self-interest, self-destruction, hatred, and divisiveness. Why have so many people who once were sane, logical, moral, and smart following him into historical damnation?
Great question that a whole lot of us ask ourselves. I’ve come to terms with the fact that these people weren’t too bright to begin with.
Let's fix the weaknesses that made him possible in our presidency.
When was the last time you helped a relative with their Civics class homework? In my family, not since the 1990s.
Mare, they've stop teaching Social Studies ( the Mores of a Society), Civics , World History and even Cursive penmanship.... In America. Who does that???? Kinda dooms a Country to failure at some point, seems like to me😲🤔🙄😡

Also, remember when the very lives of Pence, Pelosi and others really were in serious danger —the Jan.6 nightmare —and how Trump did not seem to care in the least? That's pretty
. . . that's pretty telling about Trump, and about as callous and despicable as anything could be.
He has not earned ANY respect; he desecrated the office of the President.
He should always be referred to as "the Disgraced Ex-President."
Never mind the "innocent until proven guilty" technicality in this instance. We've seen enough for ourselves (—and seen too much!)
If they had actually gotten their hands on some of those officials and killed them . . . ???? Clearly, if anyone, it is Trump himself who deserves that kind of treatment.
I think that charisma has to do with sloughing off socializing and signalling to the susceptible that they too can throw off the chains of decent behaviour that they have resentfully laboured under and can loudly be their very worst selves
Charisma in general amounts to something like being a socially adept and glib, smooth-operator who makes a great first or superficial impression. It is, of course, not at all a bad thing in itself. But it's not hard to see how that can be a facade —a false front that can hide a sinister reality, and suck people into circumstances in which they're being exploited, or . . . you get the idea.

There needs to be a concerted effort on behalf of Biden by the medical community to highlight these exact differences between aging brain and demented brain. I’ve seen the difference in the assisted living community my mom was a resident of before she passed FROM DEMENTIA. It is so clear that’s what’s happening to him.
People are not voting about that. Biden is more honest than Trump, and that should be obvious. The fact that people no longer see honesty as a positive thing is a gigantic problem.
They want power. They are selfish.
Yes! Terrible and mindless! (And, to boot, as un-Christian as could be.)
There's Noone better able to show that he's mentally competent than Biden himself. He has to address this issue directly like JFK addressed his Catholicism directly and calmed those who were claiming the Pope would be running the country. I suppose most of you on here are too young to remember that or maybe you weren't born yet. But the right wing of the 60's hated Catholics and Kennedy faced it head on and won. Biden's mental acuity has to be handled by Biden.
He will have the perfect opportunity to do just that on Thursday in his SOTU speech.
Yes, I pray he does well.
I just sent an email to Pres Biden urging him to speak directly to the issue of his mental acuity. If you want to urge him on the address is: president@whitehouse.gov.
900 mg of Adderal is a deadly amount. Idk how that could be humanly possible.
My daughter, when she was still here, took 30mg twice daily. It says right on the bottle, “Amphetamine Salts.”
Perhaps you added an extra 0 to his dosage.
I got Stout’s audiobook, very illuminating, just on 2nd chapter
Thanks Mary! I’ve noticed how his thinking seems to be when I can stomach his speeches. He’s really losing it. Vote blue everyone and get trump and all his maga buddies out. Then maybe we can move on to changing the Constitution to eliminate the corrupt Scotuses.
There’s no need to do a Constitutional Amendment, which is very difficult, to fix the scotus. Congress has the power to expand the court & it’s been done in the past. Please listen to Elie Mystal’s podcast “Contempt of Court”, he has excellent legal ideas about how to correct the court.
His book; “Allow Me to Retort - A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution” it is so educational with great ideas
Not to mention the Adderal. Currently he is running on fear, terror, and 900mg of Adderal a day. His brain is turning into cottage cheese.
I replied to your comment but under another commenter’s post! I don’t know how I managed that. Sorry. The comment said TFG was taking 900 mg a day.
I agree, it cannot be 900, I’ve actually never seen a dosage above 70mg daily.
He's an evil man with no regard for his fellow man. I saw this in the 80's when he was building the Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City (another one of his failed businesses) and bankrupted several of his sub contractors that were Mom and Pop businesses because he refused to pay them the agreed amount in their contracts......They didn't have the money to fight him. Of course, he did, because he was still using his inheritance. And still boasting about his non existent "self made man" BS
Amen
Just listened to a documentary on Roku streaming that speaks to the 2 kinds of energies in nature. 1. The Bees, who have a special connection to Source as part of a symbiotic system helping beauty and diversity to flourish. There's one heart that connects all. A Hive Mind. Like an open brain the hive sends out its dreams into the world to be manifested.
2. The Locusts devours everything in its path. It has no choice. A Locust's behavior is rigid.
We humans are unique. We can act like a Bee or a Locust. We are free to change. We can exist symbiotically or as a Parasite.
Taken from doc series Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds.
This explains a lot about our culture today especially Trump and his enablers. The Locusts. The Parasites devouring everything in sight and never satisfied.
Let's be The Bees the world needs.
Whenever I see the argument that "Joe is in a decline just as bad as Donald" my standard response is:
I don't believe for one moment that Jill Biden would not sit down with Joe if he was experiencing *legitimate* mental difficulty and say, "Joe, reasonably, you have to step aside."
Nor do I believe for one moment Kamala Harris has such little integrity she would "go along" with an increasingly mentally incapacitated President.
She wouldn't do that to the country, and neither would Jill. I just don't buy it.
Dean Phillips has been saying that the only reason he's in the primary is because "superstars" in the Democratic party, like Gavin Newsom, are declining to step into the race and challenge Joe's competence because "they're afraid of challenging the status quo."
Nonsense. They're not stepping in because *Joe is fine.*
Thanks, Mary, for saying what needs to be said about about Trump’s seriously declining abilities and, also, about Biden’s solid ability to grasp important national and international issues and to act on them appropriately...with, of course, his incredibly talented team. Keep up your great work!
This is a no-brainer. (Pardon the pun!)
His dementia will make it even easier for Bannon, Miller and Putin to manipulate him. NONE of them should be anywhere near POTUS, but the Surreal Court doesn’t seem to be worried about that.
it is so frustrating that the media misrepresents President Biden's mental ability and ignores Trump's cognitive issues. They cover him like he's behaving normally when he's not! How can the people that attend his rallies still want to vote for him? I feel like I'm in some kind of bizarroworld!
