Reporter captures Trump's idiocy today before energy group in one very long sentence...

[hlthe2b]

Sorry, it won't allow me to cut out just the text on this one:

Link to tweet

[demmiblue]

1. Here ya go:

So crazy.

[Corgigal]

2. Pool reporter

are paid to listen to the old fool, not enough mind you , so you can listen to that guy. The rest of us don't need the headache. Nothing Important nor new will be mentioned.

[gristy]

3. No need to cut and paste the text...

I've never understood why that is done, to tell you the truth. Always get these OPs with the same tweet text posted 2, 3, even 4 times.

[hlthe2b]

4. It is done because those few who are not able to see embedded tweets become very upset when we

don't.

[gristy]

6. I suspect that most of those few would be willing to fix the problem on their end

Rather than making everyone else have to wade through the clutter that results.

[hlthe2b]

8. There have been entire threads complaining about it, not to mention those objecting on my & other's

threads, so I try to accommodate whenever possible.

[Mc Mike]

13. I appreciate being able to see the text, but haven't complained when I can't.

I like to be in the know, despite the old computer, os, etc. But when I can't see the tweet discussed, and can't get context from the discussion, I just back out of the thread. No crying.

[paleotn]

11. If only that were the most important thing we have to worry about.

[sobenji]

16. I suspect it's not a huge inconvenience

Helps those of us at work where twitter is blocked

[cojoel]

17. The issue is some people read the forums while at work

While DU is not blocked for them, Twitter is, and they can't read the complete posts unless the text is copied.

[gristy]

27. Can't they bring it up with their employer?

Say something like "I can't see posted tweets when I'm reading DU at work! Could you please unblock them?"
Threaten to quit if they don't fix it! Make it the employer's problem!

[Demonaut]

39. it's tradition here

you SHOULD post an excerpt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

9. It's a courtesy to those DUers on-line at work....

where their company's system blocks access to Twitter.

[demmiblue]

10. Yes. Some people seem vexed by the request for the courtesy of taking that extra step.

It isn't that hard, folks. Those people kind of suck (I put this in the "don't be an asshole" category).

[PandoraAwakened]

38. + 1 for a return to civility! n/t

[Celerity]

12. my pet peeve is when people do not cut off the shite after the main part of the url on tweets & pics

so you get the '?' and the shite after it displayed



and

[brush]

30. How are we to know the ridiculousness of the sentence without it being cut and pasted?

Why post this if you don't post the actual sentence?

[Leghorn21]

5. So wtf ever happened to "SPACE FORCE" anyway??!!

The moon, the Mars, the whatever!??

[Hekate]

19. Ah, Space Farce. The good old days. nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

7. Sometimes I suspect tRump is bipolar.

Many of his speeches sure look like manic episodes.....

Who the hell could sit and listen to 67-minutes of his rambling bullshit and lies?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

14. And repeat himself many times over....

Because he is incapable of an original thought, let alone how to answer a question.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. Yes, in my experience the repetition is quite common with bipolar folks.

"Joe! You've told me that 10 times already during this call"......

I remember one guy that was bipolar that had trained himself to recognize his manic episodes almost as if a timer had gone off. He would stop his ranting almost instantly and usually apologize, then allow the meeting to go on. Some others I knew I unfortunately had no choice but to just hang up the phone after say.....and hour. I guess I'm too easy and was raised to be courteous.

KY.........

[crazytown]

20. Trump is juiced up on Adderall

Amphetamines produce similar symptoms to Bipolar mania: 'She'd never taken speed before - told her her life story in triplicate'.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

34. Is that a reversible side effect or does it do permanent damage?

Never used the stuff but makes me wonder about some others I've known.

[crazytown]

35. It's a reversible side effect but ...

depending on the dose, and the amphetamine, the by products can literally dissolve the brain. Excess dopamine can resolve into hydrogen peroxide - not in therapeutic doses - more like over doses.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

26. My mother calls this "diarrhea of the mouth."

[KY_EnviroGuy]

33. Yes, an old country expression.

Or, just "running off at the mouth".

And there was another one the old men used: "if you ran off at the rear end like you do from your mouth, you wouldn't live an hour".

Good old clean country humor......

[Hekate]

18. Drugs. Dr Feelgood kept him supplied, as far as we know. Now who?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

21. Good question. Plenty of Rethugs would supply him anything illegal.

But heck, he has Walter Reed and a his own personal physician. You would think he would be the picture of health.....

Seems like he could get anything he wants. Executive order?.....

I'm sure they're pulling some bullshit to keep him glued together.

[happy feet]

25. No. Don't denigrate the real illness of bipolar.

His repetition is not him having a psychotic episode-Period.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

36. Not denigrating any illness, just discussing experiences.

No one here really knows tRump's true mental condition and he many have his doctors fooled.

Not possible even for professionals from afar, as his history is unknown and it's not published for sure what drugs he's using.

We certainly do have a long list of symptoms, though.

[DeminPennswoods]

22. FTR, it's Monaca, not Monaco

nt

[rocktivity]

23. When Reagan did it

we eventually called it Alzheimer's disease.


rocktivity

[SunSeeker]

24. But Biden's gaffes.

[ornotna]

28. They're keeping me up at night

Just in case.

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. If only most people understood this is donald rump, he has always been like this

he possesses no knowledge of anything other than a few paragraphs of Mein Kampf

He knows nothing at all about business, any kind of business.

He has never known anything about anything.

[no_hypocrisy]

31. My theory: Trump just riffs like he's doing a late night talk show monologue.

He has no idea what he's saying.

[stillcool]

37. I agree...loves the lights, thinks he's a star...

but when he's out of the U.S., he seems afraid, almost self-conscious.

[marble falls]

32. Good. We need strong Democratic candidate in the Senate. We need the Senate, too.
