The Frankish Reich

Ahh, thanks for the diagnosis. Another doctor I guess. This is becoming a doctor's forum. Your Twitter monkeys most have spent some quality time with the DSM to find that one.

Well, thanks, Elon, for the Monday Morning Quarterback post. The insiders all told you when it was coming and exactly when it was coming but you kept that to yourself. I'm impressed.

Again, look at the chart. I've said what we're seeing with Biden is not atypical with a man of his age. And will not be atypical as we see Trump move into that age. So I see that you struggle with comprehension (are you in your late 60s?), but the point is that he is mentally competent to serve as president, but there are very serious concerns about someone of that age committing to an additional four year term. Is fit. May not be fit in 3 or 4 years. Is that really so hard to understand? And apply it to the other guy. I find him unfit not because of his age (yet), but because many of his closest advisers as well as his own VP candidate are on record calling him an "idiot" or "moron." As in "an idiot right now," not "may become an idiot some day." Really, has that ever happened with any other president in history? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Pro Bowler's Association? Yeah. Nobody who's worked closely with him has every called him an "idiot" or an "effin moron."

Applying the NYT chart to myself: I'm in my late 50s. I definitely know that my Spatial Visualization (which fades quicker) is not what it was in my 20s. Part of that was I was in a very different job - one that required that skill - when I was young. So lack of practice. But also just something that requires effort now, that came easily/naturally in my younger years. Vocabulary? Yeah, that's at it's peak. I have fun using unusual words and phrases with the Gen Z'ers and Millennials I supervise. Speed? As in speed of recall? Yeah. Sometimes a name or word doesn't come to me immediately anymore. But it comes. The metaphor is the hard drive in my brain chugging through an old-fashioned "search" function. Reasoning? I don't think I'm being too kind to myself to say that that is at its peak. That's what my job is, and I catch all kinds of logical errors in the legal briefs, etc, that I review. Memory? I don't detect any issues, but maybe my kids do. I don't remember ... Look at the chart. I'm saying that mental acuity with aging is not a linear function, and that there are certain steep declines to be expected in one's late 70s and early 80s. I thought you taught math?

Here's what I'm seeing, which fits my personal impressions as a guy with lots of relatives in their late 70s and 80s. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/21/opinion/president-physician-cognitive-testing.html Trump is 3+ years younger than Biden, but if elected he will be older than Biden is today by the end of his term. Green = Vocabulary Orange = Spatial Visualization Red = Reasoning Blue = Memory Purple = Speed On the X axis, the hatched area is from Trump's Age to Biden's Age

Yep, run with that!

Good to see you're not getting all unhinged about yesterday's developments.

Keep fighting yesterday's battles with last year's talking points! No worries. The right-wing Twitter feeds will shift to something Kamala by later today.

I'll get back to you once I get done reevaluating my life and priorities .... ... OK. Done. I'm good.

True. But nothing sinister there. That's how politics works. You might as well go back to the Republican Primaries and look at how Nikki Haley was pushed out, finally resulting in her half-hearted endorsement of Trump.

Yep, let's keep posting in the Hunter's Laptop thread. Because as of yesterday NO. ONE. CARES.

Wrong Cramer.

Someone is definitely freaked out by this turn of events.

So JD was trolling me c. 2016? Yeah. That's it.

Just got this. I think it has to do with the time change between the USA and Moscow.

You should definitely run with that one. Then when he reemerges you can claim it's the Fake Biden.

So you tell me: what would inspire JD Vance to suggest that Trump may be America's Hitler? You seem to have a good handle on such things

Hey, we've done a pretty piss poor job of choosing our own leaders. Why not outsource that too.

Oh, it was good all right. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/kiwi-billionaire-peter-thiels-money-links-to-jd-vance-donald-trumps-running-mate/P3OGYOSJRFG5TCQP2DA3WFJZEI/ I have no problem with Gay Kiwis choosing our leaders.

^^^^^ QAnon Alert!! Notice the first line in the tweet above: "Calm before the storm." We have successfully revealed what NC Bills is all about. Still all about.

I never compared him to Hitler. His own VP candidate did that. I suppose you should ask him, or ask the great MSM to ask him. What would inspire a brilliant young man to even include the words "Trump" and "Hitler" in the same sentence?

Would put Alabama in play!

Oh, she started out that way. No doubt about that. Although your question makes me wonder why Peter Thiel had such a mancrush on the All American Country Boy. Hmm...
