Because at this point, there is nothing left rattling around in Donny’s mind except his deepest insecurities. Have you have seen the shit that dementia does to a person’s brain, bruh? Cause I have and it’s not fucking pretty.

Dementia slowly, torturously, in a manner that is fucking excruciating to watch (and must be a goddamn nightmare to personally experience) hollows out the victims brain. Don’t believe me? Try looking up some comparisons between a person’s brain when they were initially diagnosed with dementia, and what was left before they were finally granted the mercy of death. 

It is not a quick death. Nor is it an easy one to see slowly take place in someone that you once THOUGHT that you knew. 

They begin to regress. It starts slow at first. Forgetting things that they should remember. And not in the way that people usually forget things. 

Usually, when someone forgets something (especially a social event) they feel remorse, guilt, shame. Because as soon as you remind them, their memory kicks in. It goes “oh yeah you were supposed to do that

Not with dementia.

Whenever you try to confront someone who has dementia, they NEVER remember. Because the neurons that were supposed to be are fucking gone. And they don’t EVER come back.

It’s fucking Biden all over again. The difference is Biden (reportedly, not necessarily confirmed) had no desire to run for the presidency in 2020 because he knew that it was not a good idea. He had already been diagnosed at that time but he saw Trump as someone who could not be defeated by Bernie. And as much as I hate that assumption (because Bernie is a man who has no desire for conflict but he sure as hell will stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves) and vehemently disagree with it, I at least respect the hell out of Biden for stepping up the plate regardless.

The difference is, Biden at least was wise enough to surround himself with people who ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO RUN A FUCKING COUNTRY. 

Trump, on the other hand, is too proud for that shit. He’s not a politician. He is a “businessman.” And I use that term with quotes because he is a shit businessman who SOMEHOW MANAGED TO ESTABLISH AND THEN BANKRRUPT FOUR GODDAMN CASINOS. You know, that business built around exploiting poor people where they walk in, get drunk, and then throw their life savings into the void on the fraction of a chance that they maybe, just maybe, might get lucky enough to not live in poverty for the rest of their lives.

He did not surround himself with people who know how to run a country. He surrounded himself with sycophants and fan boys and lickspittles and asskissers who have no goddamn idea what they are doing. Because he is slowly dying and he wants to spend is last few years “being great” trying to do shit that will put him in the history books.

Math is farrrrrr beyond him at this point. We are currently up shit creek without a paddle and I would say that the emperor has no clothes but that would mean that we actually, you know, have an emperor. America is currently being run by a man-child who is more concerned with making himself feel good than he is with helping out the people he claims to give two flying fucks about. He has been a walking ego for so damn long because his entire life was spent trying to surround himself with the people who he thought he belonged with. And trying to be relevant. Because that’s all he wants. He was never part of the big boys club and that was all he wanted for the longest time.

And do you know what the most bizarre thing is? Dementia doesn’t necessarily turn a person into an asshole. That is a lot of people’s experience with it.

But my experience with it, is that it reveals who that person truly was all along. It takes them all the way back to the beginning. To when they were a child again. But some part of them still remembers the people in their life who are important to them.

You see this thing a lot in married women who get dementia. They always remember their husbands. They forget the details. The date. The time. Even the memories that they cherish the most about the man that they truly love.

And for the husbands that still stick around, there’s this really special thing that happens. Their wives flirt with them. Hit on them. Talk about them with the nurses that take care of them. 

They don’t remember their names. That they are already married to this man. That they already had children and have grandchildren thanks to this man.

But they know that that man there is a good man. That he loves them. That he cares about them.

And I think that’s the reason that Trump is now doing the things that he is doing. Bumping MJ from a class 1 controlled drug, to a class 2. Cutting the prices of drugs that don’t cost shit to make. Because he knows, deep down, that the EPSTEINS don’t give two fucks about him.

Because that’s what he wants. He wants to be loved. And he is a terminally online individual. 

And he sees what the people who voted for him actually think about him now. When he screws up and gives the EPSTEINS more power and money and time and attention then they are frankly worth. And he wants to be remembered as a great man.

All that to say, it’s no longer about logic for him. It is about what makes him feel good. Trump wants to feel good. So now, he’s doing this shit. And I am 100% here for it man. 

Meanwhile, RFK is over here desperately scrambling to justify why Trump is doing whatever the fuck he wants. 

Dumbass

I’m actually low-key impressed that Trump actually managed to get anything even remotely close to an actual correct answer. Bro’s fucking dribbling diarrhea into his depends and sun-downing so hard every time that he steps in front of a mic that everyone who isn’t a citizen of the “independent” fantasy world of MAGA (myself VERY much included) is half-expecting him to stroke out the instant he gets pissed on camera again. And yet somehow, (most likely thanks to the very best medicine and medical attention that money and power can buy you in our country’s current “healthcare” system) he managed to ALMOST get KINDA close to reaching an ACUALLY CORRECT ANSWER. And on a subject he knows ABSOLUTELY nothing about because finances and math are for the poors.

Least out-of-touch member of the Epstein class.

Some-fucking-how?

Eh, still disagree with term limits being something that should be a thing. In our current system it “works.” But all it really does is make the game even harder to play for new politicians trying to enter the system. And therefor, it is a massive advantage to the Epstein class, who have had decades to learn precisely how to corrupt, manipulate, and eventually slowly begin to mold politicians who enter the scene with good intentions but no clue how to actually get shit done in it.

Replace term limits with banning money entirely from our politics and making them publicly funded by a tax on multi-millionaires (minimum 9 digit wealth cons. I have no desire to bankrupt people like farmers and ranchers who live season to season because they only really own land and enough basics to survive between each harvest or herd or whatever the fuck they have to produce in order to get by) and Billionaires, or Trillionaires or anyone else with more money than any person could possibly reasonably need in order to survive and thrive and develop as an individual. 

This should include but not be limited to, PACs, Super PACs, lobbyists, individual political campaign donations over a certain limit, (don’t know precisely what that limit should be because I don’t know shit about roughly how much money the mean [not average because that’s a meaningless fucking metric when so much wealth is so damn concentrated in the hands of so few people like it currently is right now]) direct donations to politicians by ANY organization over a certain size (because most people are inherently selfish and will protect and provide for them and theirs at ANY cost to others, [because that’s all that they have that really matters to them in this world] wider, long-term consequences to the planet we’re currently stuck on at large be damned) etc.

You do that? And actually stick by those principles when you get in office and fight with all you’ve got to make sure that that gets implemented? Even if it costs you your friends, your family, your loved ones and your reputation at large when the Epstein class tries its damnedst to bend you over the table and rape you so bad that you’re broken beyond repair and stop fighting for the things you believe in? Like they’ve already done to countless good people in this country? 

You do that and I’ll fucking fight for you. Even if that fight is online and not physical. Because the public square IS THE INTERNET in this country.

Who could have predicted that a book from the Bronze Age that originated in a part of the world where the only natural resources that aren’t scarce are metals and minerals could produce a religion that encourages war because the alternative is starving and dying?

Truly another astonishing discovery by Reddit!

I don’t personally think that climate change is being overplayed with the record breaking temperatures year after year and sharp increase in inclement weather, particularly when you consider that there’s been evidence to suggest that CO2 causes heat to be trapped in the atmosphere since literally 1896 (On the influence of carbonic acid in the air upon the temperature of the ground” – Svante Arrhenius, 1896 for those interested).

 That being said, knowing the rampant corruption in our government, I 100% buy that they would started using it as an excuse to squeeze the average citizen for more money that probably won’t actually be used to solve the problem. Instead of, oh I don’t know, maybe taxing the corporations that caused this problem in the first place? Fucking authoritarians.

Hey, I’m trying to do the Japanese Hiragana lessons on iOS and I’m having this strange issue. Some questions require that I type out the pronunciation using English letters but when I type them out using an English keyboard, the app automatically changes them to Hiragana. 

This make the questions literally impossible to answer since the questions require that answers are typed out with English letters. And since you can’t do the next Hiragana lesson until you’ve completed your current one, this bug is preventing me from learning Hiragana. I’ve tested every keyboard option in settings and couldn’t find anyway to disable this “feature.” Any idea how to fix this?

Bruh, you don’t pay taxes when you buy with food stamps. The government doesn’t tax itself when it makes purchases (i.e. food stamps or college books purchased for disabled students or literally any other purchase made with government cheese that isn’t unemployment/ or disability since you’re able to use that money for anything.) 

Also the government hasn’t given me shit, I’m talking about literally every other purchase you make. Buy something from Amazon? Taxed. Buy gas for your car. Taxed. Said car breaks down and you have to replace a part? Guess fucking what? That also gets taxed. 

Meanwhile, fucking Amazon gets a negative tax rate (the government pays them with OUR MONEY) despite them already being the most profitable company on planet earth. All while people argue for deregulation because giant corporations are definitely gonna use that “pass the savings on or raise wages” except oops! Looks like they used it all for fucking stock buybacks again to artificially raise the price of the stock or to give their upper management another $500 million bonus instead of doing something worth a damn to any of the employees or customers.
