Holy effing shit...I think I have the diagnosis:

(Yes, I know. I don't care what you think about television diagnosis)

From Wiki:

Tardive dyskinesia is characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements. Some examples of these types of involuntary movements include:[6]

Grimacing
Tongue movements
Lip smacking
Lip puckering
Pursing of the lips
Excessive eye blinking

Rapid, involuntary movements of the limbs, torso, and fingers may also occur.[7] In some cases, an individual's legs can be so affected that walking becomes difficult or impossible.[8] These symptoms are the opposite of patients who are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's patients have difficulty moving, whereas tardive dyskinesia patients have difficulty not moving.[9]

Respiratory irregularity, such as grunting and difficulty breathing, is another symptom associated with tardive dyskinesia, although studies have shown that the prevalence rate is relatively low.[10]

I've only been doing this for 42 years...I saw him this weekend and it came to me in a flash. It accounts for almost everything including the inability to walk any distances and problems with steps.

T's and P's: thoughts and prayers

He’s clearly got some issues but you know there are good and bad people on both sides of this equation . You know in your heart that not everyone who goes to a mall is a good person so we need to reserve judgement until we find our who he killed and wounded and their backgrounds, police records, school tardiness, litterers. You can never tell what miscreant this Second Anendment champion and fan of the greatest President who ever held office eliminated from the population.

of course.

I'm being serious: Donald Trump discovered America

In the sense that Christopher Columbus didn't REALLY discover America: there were indigenous peoples here for thousands of years prior to 1492, BUT in a certain limited historical, political, and financial context, one can posit that Columbus did just that.

Now in 2015, America was getting by with its "indigenous" culture: the melting pot (which was really just a tossed salad) was humming along doing its primitive thing and along came this explorer who reawakened a pre-Civil War/Reconstruction mentality which had been more or less forcibly repressed for over a hundred years in one form or another. He awakened the sleeping giant a la the Nixon campaigns, but he really tore the lid off the top of Dracula's coffin and it is now perpetual night, where the vampires of hate may roam unimpeded. This is the new America, discovered by the grifter family of Trump. Remember, Columbus was not a hero of mythic proportions, not a statesman, not an intellect like Da Vinci: he was businessman who sought profit.

I rest my case.

I figured out the secret of her Kidneys:

M: Donald, I’m on Bialysis

D: Melania, I’m taking off my shoes and socks.

M: your toes are awful

D: well I have Toelio.

M: what? I thought I’d was called Polio

D: now I’m taking off my pants

M: omg! Your knees are frightening.

D: I have kneesles

M: I thought it was called measles

D: now I’m taking off my underpants

M: oh ho! Now you’re going to tell me you have smallcox, right??

Hey Chuck Todd: The pressure is now all on YOU

because, you slimy motherfucker, you college dropout, David Brinkley-Wannabe, when the history of this era is written, they're gonna be all over you cable hosts, particularly the hosts of the venerated shows, for allowing this renegade, tinhorn Mussolini, this fascistic, perverse, Russian-controlled tool, to have taken over the Executive branch of the United States Government, without calling him out for what he is: what I said before in all my posts plus a brazenly lying son of a slumlord who has no, and I mean NO, redeeming qualities. Even John Gotti was loyal to his underlings and dressed beautifully, for crying out loud. This raft of show hosts, who claim to be journalists, are the sorriest bunch of assholes I've seen in a long long time.

Oh and Chuck: your new beard looks like someone pulled your pubic hair up onto your face with a ratchet wrench.

Now see...THAT's how you go after these assholes...like the Ferret does...no punches pulled. No mealy-mouthed shit.

i HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT...WHAT A LOVELY DREAM IT WAS

I "dreamt" that Mueller pulled an Al Pacino from And Justice For All, wherein he as a criminal defense attorney gets up to begin his defense of the miscreant, perverted, abusive judge, brilliantly played by John Forsythe (cast against type) and he posits as to why the horribly abused prostitute would lie about what happened to her. He puts forth various reasons why and then negates them, finishing with the utterance that SHE'S TELLING THE TRUTH. That he's a sick, twisted human being who should go to jail for the rest of his life.

It was the first, I believe, of the Pacino screaming soliloquies which became a staple of his films.

"Feeling sorry for Melania" and other horseshit...

My father, whom I've referred to countless times in my posts, once told me that the most frightening two words a soldier can hear are the words "Unconditional Surrender". That means and meant that the military must fight until the last breath of the enemy is taken from him and the capitulation is forced rather than elective. For my Dad, who agreed with the policy as implemented in WWII, it meant that he would most certainly die on the shores of the islands of Japan, since they were readying his battalion for the land invasion. The bomb was then dropped of course, and the rest is history, and he, unlike hundreds of thousands of others including the resident populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was spared.

We must fight and force unconditional surrender of these fascists who have co-opted the Federal Government and are systematically destroying anything and everything which promotes liberty, health, welfare, education, science, and Truth. The process can give no quarter to the enemy...not one iota, because even if half-dead, they will rise up and attempt to destroy us.

So I don't particularly want to hear odes to the sanctity of the wives and children of these miscreants. There is a pervasive evil which is imbued in them all and like the Anopheles mosquito or the Medfly, we must eradicate them from the positions of power, starting with dogcatcher and proceeding up the ladder to the Presidency. I for one give not a millimeter of ground. There is no falling back, only marching forward.

AZ: A new term...not the state...

I'm driving in to work this morning and this pops into my brain: as I've stated many times before, I have treated in my practice approximately forty thousand people and supervised the treatment of at lest that many at a dental school here in Philadelphia. I have dealt with the whole gamut of individuals: from literally a Nobel Prize Winner down to convicted rapists and murderers; from venerated politicians down to the lowest scum of street politicos who, in this town, are and were shakedown artists; from clergy who are almost literally saints down to clergy who are accused and sometimes-convicted child molesters. You get the idea...

But this guy in the White House is in a class all by himself, and watching that video of his non-reaction to the young lady telling him that her family was annihilated led me to this conclusion: he is ranked at a Universal Constant:

Absolute Zero: AZ (pronounced AyZee)

When they say there's no moral or ethical floor for him or his behavior they are correct in all respects. As his behavior asymptotically approaches the possible nadir, he approaches the Absolute Zero of human behavior. Thus he shall be known in my parlance as AZ from now on...

I'm old enough to remember bumperstickers in the 50's and 60's:

Keep your (symbol for heart) in America or get your (symbol for back end of a jackass) out

America: Love it or Leave It

Impeach Earl Warren

and others...

This sentiment is of course, hardly new. This malignant tinhorn Caligula has lowered the level of tolerance/acceptance to depths unseen since the MccArthy Era or the worst of the Vietnam War era. Actually even lower...America has great potential for rallying around the oppressed. Unfortunately it may have a GREATER potential for destroying the fabric of Civilization.

I will give this guy credit for one thing: he has taught me how to hate again. I'd almost forgotten how, but I hate him, his repulsive cadre of syncophants, and his equally disgusting family with a passion which rivals in intensity that of the first woman with whom I fell in love. I just want to live long enough to see the end of this and them.
