I'm quite sure my Senator has taken his measure long before this.

I watched my mother's behavior regress to a very childlike state, as her Alzheimer's progressed. The only "up" side to that was, the more childlike she became, the less she existed in a state of delusional thinking and accusatory rage and anger.

My 92yo mother is now more child like yet retains her delusional thinking and anger. She does rage but not too much these days.

I've told my family I'm making plans to end myself before becoming so self-centered.

The only occurrences that anybody has seen started with my Mom and her sister. Now her brother has another form of dementia. Before that, people were living into their late 80's and mid 90's, with no cognitive issues.

I'm hoping that my seeming to take more after my Dad's family will be a positive, for me, but who knows. The women, in particular, seem to live long and very productive lives.

I'm going to have a 'sit down' with my nieces and nephews (I don't have any children) about my wishes and plans, should things start to go bad. I have NO desire to put anyone else through what my brother and I experienced.

the gop will protect this ass. He is a very ignorant person, even BEFORE he slowly descended into whatever the HELL is wrong with him. He is damaging the entire country. We are a laughingstock throughout the entire world. He NEVER should have been allowed to get into the WH. Guess it shows how little regard the gop has for the office, eh? Here is a delusional tyrant, installing his family into positions of importance, and he is allowed to do it. He is a disgrace to the country.

he has no concept of normal adult behavior. It was never taught or expected and his enablers make sure he has no motivation.

He fits right in. I just haven't determined if he would be 7th or 8th grade.
I think 8th graders may be a little more mature.... so 7th it is.
