    America’s and American media’s acceptance of this kind of political leader is a sign of the country’s mental decline

      We’re witnessing the decline and fall of the Roman empire in real-time. It’s heartbreaking. Still time to recover, I hope, but when damn close to half the populace vilifies intelligence while embracing ignorance it’s a petty thin hope.

    I like to imagine that he has a team of doctors propping him up for each appearance.

    Remember he wanted Biden drug tested? Yeah, that’s projection.

    His Drs carefully manage a cocktail of meds to maintain his virility. Uppers, downers, vitamins, protein, prophylactics, diuretics, the works. The thing is, they thought that with careful management if the dosage they could stave off the inevitable crash until after November 5th, sadly though his 78 year old mind just can’t take it and he’s falling apart.

    That’s what I like to imagine anyway.

    It won’t change anything. Nobody who still intends to vote for him is going to suddenly change their mind because he’s lost his. People aren’t voting for him because of his policies, they’re voting for him because of either their impression of his personality, or because he’s not a Democrat. There just aren’t going to be people who see THIS mental decline as the deciding factor while all the rest of the evidence that the pants-shitting dementia-patient wasn’t fit to manage his own medication, much less the country, just wasn’t quite enough.

      unfortunately I’ve come to the conclusion that nearly half of this nation is comprised of idiots.

    “Illustrate” “Comfirm” “Demonstrate” “Verify” “Highlight” “Are a stark, clear and empirical evidence of”

    There were better ways to frame the story.

    But, but, he once took a test where he had to identify complex things like a man, woman, a camera, and perhaps other objects that were in his line of sight while he was bragging about it and the doctors concluded that he was indeed conscious at the time of the test! Has Obama Hillary been able to prove his her consciousness to doctors?? So vote Trump/Pence on November 5th and vote often!

    Gets confused about who is talking to him before remembering the ear piece

    Who the fuck is Harris and Vance? Biden’s VP? But Biden is the VP. And I thought his name was Pence.

    Guys, guys, get this, this guy in my ear says that the government is so bloated that even the VP has a VP! We need to build a wall to keep those VPs out of my swamp!

    Colbert said he dances like he’s jerking off two horses and enjoying it. I see it now. Cant unsee.
