Ingraham displaying signs of brain damage

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/laura-ingraham-mocks-police-testimony-on-january-6-with-best-performance-awards/ar-AAMEkcM?li=BBnb7Kz&pc=U483

Fox News personality Laura Ingraham appeared to mock police officers who testified before the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot on Tuesday.

---snip---

"God save us from these third-rate theatrics," Ingraham said. "Now the award for best use of an exaggeration in a supporting role, the winner is [Capitol Police Sergeant] Aquilino Gonell who thinks the pen is literally mightier than the sword."

She then showed part of Gonell's testimony where he was discussing the fact that rioters had weapons and mentioned a pen as he said that the rioters' intention was to hurt police officers.


*************************************

One officer suffered traumatic brain injury, but Ingraham is the one whose brain isn't working properly.

you rly can kill someone w a pen if you know what you are doing.
we used to joke in my family that my nephew the army ranger could kill people w a playing card. he never laughed.
but a pen is actually a decent shiv.

In order to have brain damage, one must have a brain. She obviously doesn’t have one between her ears. Instead, I think she has a misplaced gall bladder. Why else would she spew bile, vitriol, and acid?

For it to become damaged.

And I’m sure anyone trained in combat could kill a person with a pen, quickly and efficiently.

My brain was "damaged" as a consequence of a subarachnoid aneurysm, right frontal lobe, in 2002. After a 9-hour surgery and 3 weeks in the ICU, and an additional 6 weeks off, I returned to work--a developer for one of the nation's leading companies in educational assessment. Although highly functional in work, the experience changed me in certain ways that I will not relate here.

I understand what you are saying. Ingraham is a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad person. However, it is a bit of a faux pas to categorically label her--effectively lumping her--in a way that casts aspersions on the many, many folks who have experienced actual brain damage.

No harm done. such cliche' is a common occurrence, and one I myself never considered on a deeper level prior to my own experience.

What she said about the Capitol police is despicable.

She is a horrible person. I should not have equated that to her being an injured person.

Unfortunately, to varying degrees, we've all been poisoned, some more than others. Ingraham definitely has heightened blood lead levels.

Their patients would be very easy to treat. They only have two parts - a mouth and an anus. And they're interchangeable.

I hope someone someday shows her how deadly a *pen* can be. Would be a good leaning lesson for her to see....if you catch my drift.

She knows what damage her words are doing and doesn't believe it, thus being a greedy kind of evil, or she actually believes what she's saying.

Either way, she's evil for embracing this.

Ye gods, I hate her guts. And the rest of her, too.

A huge impractical and largely pointless since most of them would require millions if not more and accomplish nothing.
