...and has an old man stoop. His balance is off. He speaks in word-salad. Many with personal and professional experience have noted all the signs of senile dementia. There are also signs of prescription drug-abuse aside from the dilated pupils and sniffing -- very likely a steady diet of uppers.

Bejesus, as my mother used to say. Are you looking at the same man the rest of us are? He's incapable of doing the job, and the only reason he is still there is an unholy alliance of GOP politicians and oligarchs intent on destroying the republic and looting the Treasury.

His Father came to America without a cent in his pocket and made a real estate fortune so impressive even Woody Guthrie wrote a song celebrating it. (Actually, Fred Trump was born in NY and Guthrie's song was a screed against slumlords that called out Fred by name)

And his Uncle taught at MIT longer than anybody in history and is the guy who invented nuclear. (No, his Uncle did teach at MIT but not longer than anybody in history and he did not invent nuclear)

And his Sister was a Judge. (who resigned rather than face a scandal)

And for further proof, just look at his beautiful kids!

I bet has had all the Big Macs he could possibly want for the past however long it has been (time is all running together now for me). All I can think about is a Hardee's chili dog and Big Macs. It's been years since I have been to McDonald's or Hardee's. Those were the first two things I started missing at the beginning of this thing. And they are all I keep thinking about while going hungry half the time since this thing started too. I'm rationing my food because most local grocery stores are out of so much. Food Lion's shelves were almost empty a month ago.

I hate Trump. Not only does he get pampered and protected, but he can do whatever the fuck he wants and gets away with it, even when it comes to health. I hate him even more now that I realize they haven't processed my order for my hamburger/hot dog chili that I use. This is at around 4 times as much cost wise, compared to what I usually pay. It was about $4 a can online, from a place recommended by the company that makes it. Usually, it is less than $1 a can. I could live off that stuff and be vegan. I planned to eat some of it each day with buns and ketchup only, and maybe mustard sometime too.....IF I can even find either hot dog or hamburger buns anywhere.

I hate Trump.

together every day before appearing in public, and even then he seems pretty much out of it. The rest of his day is probably spent having his phony hair weave carefully arranged, slathering on the orange goop, shooting up whatever drugs are keeping him alive, and doing whatever else is required to make this old, fat, tired POS look human.

...the strength of the relationship between diet and the immune system.

It's not that they're not somewhat related, but neither is it true that good diet and exercise turn your immune system into an invincible fortress, nor that bad diet and lack of exercise leave you vulnerable to every germ and virus that comes by.

It's partly genetic, partly environmental, and partly we don't know enough yet how the immune system works.

How do you know he's never sick? Not a sniffle??? WT?? Haven't you watched any of his sniffling performances? I know it's difficult to do, but have you even watched him on an clips? He's strung out on drugs and doped up most of the times he is on camera. He has to use a golf cart to go any more than 25 feet.

By the way, what happened to that Phase 2 of his so-called physical? The people that he hasn't fired are those that are sworn not to divulge the truth about him under threat of life most likely.

He's CONSTANTLY sniffling and sniffing. Any appearances of good health are just that...appearances. His handlers do a good job of covering up any illnesses he has, which I strongly suspect are many. But, even his make-up doesn't always cover up the red-face during bouts of elevated blood pressure. He's likely ill WAY more than he lets on.

I usually think that they are speaking for themselves, and clearly often they are.

It is rather curious to me, that someone can represent that being a single human being in a sea of billions of human beings, on a tiny planet, in a tiny solar system in vast galaxy which is one of only an unfathomable series of galaxies in an unfathomable set of galaxy clusters can claim to speak for the ultimate source of the universe, should such a source exist. It is even more curious that they assume anthropomorphic qualities to this source.

The early Christian theologian Tertullian reportedly said Credo quia absurdum, "I believe because its absurd."

If the attribution is correct, well, I'm not Tertullian.

It is absurd that a poorly educated fool with a low grade mind and a lack of morals sits in the White House. That this absurdity exists implies no other.

I do not have doubt.

I've seen too much and heard too much to discount that there is A Higher Power.

My Tradition of Faith sustains me especially now in this outrageous mess.

I keep myself from 'wishing' ill on *.

His fate does not belong in my speech.

Tertullian initially put forth some sound theology, but he went astray when he embraced Montanism eventually.
