Learn what "phonemic paraphasia" means! It could be our nation's salvation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraphasia#Phonemic_paraphasia

Phonemic paraphasia, also referred to as phonological paraphasia or literal paraphasia, refers to the substitution of a word with a nonword that preserves at least half of the segments and/or number of syllables of the intended word. This can lead to a variety of errors, including formal ones, in which one word is replaced with another phonologically related to the intended word; phonemic ones, in which one word is replaced with a nonword phonologically related to the intended word; and approximations, an attempt to find the word without producing either a word or nonword. These types of errors are associated with Wernicke's aphasia, among others. Phonemic paraphasias are often caused by lesions to the external capsule, extending to the posterior part of the temporal lobe or internal capsule.

1. Oh? You mean the problem lies within TSF's swollen head?

WHO could have guessed?

[mopinko]

2. when he dies, i want to see sections of what's left of his brain on the front page of every paper in america.

personally, i’d rather see him found insane than guilty.
at this point in history, the part where w dont ALLLLLL recognize a madman when we see i is a huge threat to this country and the world.

5. They need to harvest what remains of that brain.

Whatever parasite or fungus is nesting in there is a health hazard.

8. Sounds biohazardous! And recover the embedded electronics for analysis!

15. Sounds like The Last of Us.

Spores will come out and everyone in the immediate vicinity will be infected.

18. I say nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

24. I knew that was going to be something funny, and it was!

Thanks for the laugh!

9. I don't care what takes him out.

Just that something does and soon. I'm not sure I can take much more.

3. Nightmare scenario: trump picks MTG for his Veep.... and wins in 2024... trump falls apart...MTG is President. JHFC!

[Attilatheblond]

17. Not to worry. He wouldn't want another raging narcissist anywhere near him. Too much competition

He seems to like people who step away from the spotlight and are just willing to do crimes for him.

[ShazzieB]

25. Exactly.

As I said in another post a while back, MTG is too mouthy and opinionated for TSF. He likes people who do his bidding and keep their mouths shut!

Elise Stefanik seems more his type to me, and from what I've read, she may be on his short list.

6. He can get thrapy for that, later this year in prison. In the meantime, I recommend he surrender to it.

[usaf-vet]

12. There is no expert here. But I believe his narcissistic behavior/personality will not let him do that!

7. Initially I thought, "Yada yada yada" Then I read the rest of the paragraph.

[SergeStorms]

10. We should be seeing articles like this...

on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN etc. and not on Raw Story.

These could be the most important articles people in the U.S. could possibly read before the November elections.

The MSM wants to make sure the election is close and sweeps worthy. Ratings baby, ratings. The closer and more controversial the election is the more 🤑🤑💰💰 money these corporate monsters make.

What a sad commentary on our country and capitalism.

11. His drugs are catching up with him.

26. Breathing hair spray didn't help.

Adderall and Alberto VO5.

27. Aqua Net.

Nastiest and cheapest stuff on the market, I think.

[SergeStorms]

28. Aerosol super glue.

My Mom, back in the "big hair" days of the 60s and 70s, used that stuff.

The smell was toxic enough 😷 but the stickiness of it was alarming. Sometimes she'd walk around while spraying her hair and everything in her path was super-sticky afterward.

[2naSalit]

31. My older sister...

She was the sock hop, big skirt and every hairdo that came along so of course, hairspray was a must. By the time I was that age, I was a hippie and that stuff was not part of my world.


My mom used it too but I didn't live with her much.

13. His entire life is a

lesion on the soul of humanity.

[Lonestarblue]

14. In 2016, the media reported almost nothing beyond. Linton's emails and Trump's rallies.

Now they report almost nothing of Trump’s rallies because they know the reporting would show Trump in a poor light and that he has serious mental problems that are most probably early Alzheimer’s. But every time Biden almost stutters, it gets reported along with snarky comments about his age.

[Happy Hoosier]

16. It's been increasing in frequency since "hamberder"

He's definitely spiraling down.

Normally I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone.... but I hope he's afraid as his brain turns to mashed potatos.

[electric_blue68]

19. TY. Yeah, I'd read the other post, and immediately thought that's what you were referring to.

I thought "phonemic" sounded like either phonics, or a description of how you see the dictionary break up a multi sylable word.

And "paraphasia" sounded like either paraphrase, or reminded me of aphasia.

[PlutosHeart]

21. Yup. Let's show an MRI.

[SergeStorms]

29. He'll refuse to debate Biden....

let alone compare any health data.

He believes all he has to do is lie and boast about everything and people will believe him. The MAGAts will, but everyone else is going to need some proof.

[ancianita]

22. The bad news: Science will help Trump become un-convictable due to diagnosed mental incompetence to stand trial!

More bad news: it still won't disqualify him from running for president.

[FakeNoose]

23. It almost sounds like dyslexia, doesn't it?

Except that dyslexia refers to a reading disability, e.g. reading words backwards from right-to-left rather than the correct left-to-right method. But this phonemic paraphasia concept has more to do with a failure to interpret spoken words correctly.

I've actually wondered if Chump is hard of hearing, as many older folks are. While he was in the White House he often shunned reporters' questions, or he'd pretend to listen and then give an answer that was completely out of left field. It just seemed like he wasn't paying attention, or he was embarrassed to admit he couldn't hear the reporters' questions.

This idea of phonemic paraphasia makes a lot of sense. If it's true, then what happens is Chump thinks he hears something, but it's not what the person actually said. Then his answers sound like gibberish.

It would be interesting to hear Bob Woodward's take on this, since he spent so many days and hours interviewing Chump for his books. I wonder if Woodward has ever mentioned whether Chump has a problem with hearing or understanding people in face-to-face conversations.

30. Just yesterday

I was discussing with a friend her cousin's recent stroke and the effect it's had on his speech. This seems to describe it perfectly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraphasia
...snip
This lesion can be caused by a variety of different methods: malfunctioning blood vessels (caused, for example, by a stroke) in the brain are the cause of 80% of aphasias in adults, as compared to head injuries, dementia and degenerative diseases, poisoning, metabolic disorders, infectious diseases, and demyelinating diseases.
