It looks like Project 2025 can start to be implemented.

Yeah. He gives morons a voice. I make no apologies for my description. I can feel in my bones major civil strife or war on the horizon. All the ingredients for major global instability seem to be coalescing.

I suppose the result is what constant gerrymandering does in the end. One thing's clear, Trumpites don't actually listen to what Trump says. The man, seriously, cannot string two coherent sentences together. It cripples my brain to listen to him. He talks absolute garbage. I'd rather talk to a dementia patient, at least they are what they are. Words fail me.

I can't believe there is so many retarded Americans.

AP says Trump only needs 3 more. What a shitfest we have coming.

Welcome Wallace. If you find you can't post any more today in a topic, there is a post limit on the first day to limit spammers. I think it's 5 posts. You will have no limits after today.

At least he's out in the open to be watched, now that he is openly wearing a MAGA armband.

Would a good analogy of what she's saying is like learning the etymology and structures in a language in order to understand the intentions of Shakespeare? What I'm saying is that you can have all the mental and physical tools at your disposal, but you still need insight and intuition. What is missing is someone having a paradigm-changing insight these last 50 years. It might not be a fault of science per se, just that we need the next Newton, Einstein, Galileo et al to move things forward.

Thanks. That makes sense.

Is the reason known?

Apparently, he might be being cautious if Trump is elected, given his pronouncements of retribution. Edit: Just noticed MigL already said it.

With Trump's words it's not sanewashing, it's total reconstruction and fairy tales. Even listening to Trump at the most basic level, his speeches are content-free, discombobulated word salad, consistent with a person whose cognition is falling apart. It is incredible that half the US population actually give this bloke a pass to be President of the United States and have access to it's nuclear codes.

The MAGA idea of a 'patriot' is "White wing" and "Far white". Those are two new labels I learned today, and how apt they are too. The author of those terms was Middle Eastern, iirc.

Yeah, the looping is the symptom and not the cause. Perhaps his brain refused to or couldn't parse it because it might create certain negative mental consequences. I used to dream of being chased by someone/thing, and could do the most impossible things to evade, jumping like a gazelle, flying over buildings etc. Sometimes I would be lucid part way through and control the direction of the dream, but didn't know what initiated the escape narrative. In my early twenties, I told a friend of mine and he said "Why don't you stop and turn around?". Some short time later, the dream narrative recurs and I'm running in complete fear, and as I'm crossing over a precarious rope bridge, I stopped. My friend irl had asked in our prior conversation if I could see in colour, see my hands, and feet as well. I looked down, and said "Yes, I can see my feet, and, yes, I can see my hands, and, yes, I see in colour." I slowly turned around with this electric fear and there was no one there, only myself. I surmised that was who I had been running from for the previous few years. I was in denial about being deaf and other stuff. It was avoided by my mother as a talking subject, so I thought it was something that was essentially forbidden to think or talk about. It was in her body language. She is a perfectionist and I wasn't 'perfect'. My stepfather took me to get my first hearing aid at seven years old, when it was realized I was deaf. She couldn't face it. That rubbed off on me. The dreams stopped after that.

His mental stylus that's playing his perception got stuck on a scratch.
