@GottaLaff It's not a teleprompter glitch. He looks genuinely zoned out and confused.

@punkhaiku Whatever it was, he’s making his attacks on Biden moot

@GottaLaff If President Biden did this it would be the top news story everywhere. But since it's tRump it's ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@krakalak Exactly

@GottaLaff I've been thinking we need to find clips of him speaking, like 1 minute each, in real time, where you can see his lack of focus or otherwise bizarre speech. He benefits from the tiny clips the media goes for. He rambles for minutes and the media reports on the one coherent thing that comes out.

But this isn't it. It's just not clear enough. Unless it shows teleprompter problems, in which case it's a mild punk b/c he once said Obama needed his teleprompter.

cindyweinstein,

@GottaLaff. "Probable #Dementia" as #psychologist #JohnGartner calls it.

Here is a chart in my #memoir about my father's early-onset #Alzheimer's, written with #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller, detailing the different kinds of #aphasia, where the "assault," as #doctors call it, first starts in the #brain, and the #diagnosis.

@cindyweinstein Sorry, but I don't support armchair diagnoses.

I've cared for many loved ones with Alzheimer's. He doesn't appear to have it, but I have no idea. So I don't speculate.

cindyweinstein,

@GottaLaff. I get it. I find Dr. John Gartner's conversations with Salon's Chauncey DeVega very illuminating on this topic. You probably know this already but the doctor has a petition going with many healthcare professionals sounding the alarm.

@cindyweinstein I do know, yes.

But it's ok as long as you're a republican. Nothing to see here, folks, move along!

@GottaLaff Is it just me, or are all these sites visually like garbage dumps of advertising? I can't even find the end of most articles anymore. (old lady here)

@GottaLaff He’s staring directly at his prompter the whole time. It’s a technical issue. We need to stop pushing the cognitive decline stuff (which is always going to be pure speculation) and start pushing the fact that he’s a money launderer for oraganized crime (which is provably documented). Start pushing the fact that Trump’s policies caused all the price inflation of the last 4 years.

GottaLaff,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@gpburdell That’s all in the article.

@GottaLaff Seems like failed attempt to accent the point with music. Most of his rhetoric is just random words, anyway… 😁

@GottaLaff déjà-vu.

(This really happened on live TV, Giulio Andreotti was a lifelong Senator at the time of the incident. He died 5 years after aged 94).

@GottaLaff I see Drumpf is still playing that imaginary concertina

@GottaLaff And people want him as our president.

GottaLaff,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@IveyJanette That, right there, is the problem

IveyJanette,
@IveyJanette@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff They don't care. As long as he's white and racist.

GottaLaff,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@IveyJanette Exactly. I said that very thing to my brother yesterday as we both lamented.

@GottaLaff That's why so many whites voted for George Wallace in 1968 as a third party candidate for president. That cost Humphrey and the Democrats the election.
