Geeeeeeeeeeez! WTF was that?

[TruckFump]

Words escape my ability to describe what just aired on MSNBC.

CV 19 Brief...and the Orange Asshole is all over the place. Flynn? What the hell????

1. The more outrageous the lie, the faster his arms and hands are moving all over the place.

[TruckFump]

2. I swear, Alec Baldwin as Trump makes more sense than the Asshole himself.

I could not believe what I was hearing.

Not. One. Cogent. Thought.

4. His insanity becomes even more apparent when transcripts of his statements are published.

His brain is completely disordered, it's pure chaos in there.

5. did you see this?

List of diagnostic criteria for "Thought Disorder" begins half-way down the page.

[link:https://www.hopkinsguides.com/hopkins/view/Johns_Hopkins_Psychiatry_Guide/787025/all/Thought_Disorder|


Formal thought disorder descriptors (adapted from the Thought, Language, and Communication scale)[1]:

Poverty of speech: restricted quantity of speech; brief, unelaborated responses
Poverty of content of speech: adequate speech quantity with prominent vagueness and inappropriate level of abstraction
Pressure of speech: increased rate and quantity of speech; speech may be loud and difficult to interrupt
Distractible speech: topic maintenance difficulties due to distraction by nearby stimulus
Tangentiality: Replies to questions are off-point or totally irrelevant.
Derailment (loosening of associations): spontaneous speech with marked impairments in topic maintenance
Incoherence (word salad, schizaphasia): severe lack of speech cohesion at the basic level of syntax and/or semantics within sentences
Illogicality: marked errors in inferential logic
Clanging: speech in which word choice is governed by word sound rather than meaning; word choice may show rhyming or punning associations
Neologism: the creation of new "words"
Word approximations: unconventional and idiosyncratic word use
Circumstantiality: excessively indirect speech; speech is liable to be overinclusive and include irrelevant detail
Loss of goal: difficulty in topic maintenance in reference to failure to arrive at the implicit goal of a statement
Perseveration: excessive repetition of words, ideas, or subjects
Echolalia: speech repeats words or phrases of interviewer
Blocking: interruption of speech while ostensibly in pursuit of a goal
Stilted speech: odd language use that may be excessively formal, pompous, outdated, or quaint
Self-reference: The patient is liable to refer the subject of conversation back to him/herself.
Paraphasic error (phonemic): word mispronunciation, slip of the tongue
Paraphasic error (semantic): substitution of an inappropriate word to make a specific statement

13. I'm pondering getting a subscription to Johns Hopkins psychiatric guides to see more info.

I do know that Thought Disorder is somehow connected to schizophrenia and that the diagnosis is made using Rorshach Test to just get the patient talking (and then make observations about the various aspects of speech and thought.)

3. Perhaps they should stop holding these during his "sundowning" time

Just a thought..........

7. Is there any link to this ?

I don't own a telly, so I'm not sure what is being discussed here, but it sounds disturbing.

11. His inner petulant child comes out big time.

In his rallies he gets the adulation fix he craves, but he can’t get that in these pressers so he goes for second best, bullying and fighting.

After saying to one reporter that he isn’t using the brain he was born with what would he do if the reporter insulted him back? But, of course, no reporter will do that which is why a Trump attacks reporters like that. I really wish someone would shout back at him, “Do you have any decency at all?!”

[grantcart]

12. Did he get stuck on the word aroused again?

[Blue Owl]

14. All part of the shitshow, folks
