Nov 2

He was talking in code. And perhaps he retains the instinct and reflex for it, because even if he's got dementia he's still a malignant narcissist. But the guy is out of his mind and doesn't know what he's saying. He's gone over to dementia world and he ain't coming back.

The reason he said rifles lined up and shooting at Cheney is because he couldn't find the word "firing-squad". He would have said it but he's too far gone to use common compound words.

His language ability is deteriorated to the point that just about every sentence he says, he struggles with. His language is so disinhibited that he'll say anything that pops into his malignant mind. But most of the time he can't find the words for it.

And the idiot GOP still want this adled fool to be president, errr...king, of the United States. The guy should be in the mental care unit of an old folk's home.

For those who think Trump's comments about Cheney were taken out of context... [View all] LuckyCharms Nov 2 OP

Question, is there usually 9 people in a firing squad? MacKasey Nov 2 #1

At least 5 shooters are required, so 9 is very plausible and perhaps likely in some squads. LuckyCharms Nov 2 #4

5-6 is de rigeur. WarGamer Nov 2 #62

Six is traditional, but can be as many as 12, so this is NOT his "plausible deniabiity" because he said 9 hlthe2b Nov 2 #15

Surely there's no one in this forum defending him on context. paleotn Nov 2 #2

Yup, it's a bad mood to argue gas lighting. gab13by13 Nov 2 #6

maher did that. mopinko Nov 2 #11

Maher's a gaslighter too Clouds Passing Nov 2 #21

he has his fans. mopinko Nov 2 #27

I used to agree with many of Maher's markodochartaigh Nov 2 #61

Not surprising. Maher has serious issues and needs good therapy. paleotn Nov 2 #28

Count on Maher to pimp for trump. Paladin Nov 2 #67

When someone is defending gaslighting gab13by13 Nov 2 #3

It's not only the other side. n/t LuckyCharms Nov 2 #5

I stand by my post #3. gab13by13 Nov 2 #7

In addition, Dems are not the only people who read this forum. Not by a long shot. LuckyCharms Nov 2 #8

Well said. Think. Again. Nov 2 #31

When he talks about his beautiful white skin Emile Nov 2 #9

Yes it is. He's actually saying that white skin is better than dark skin. LuckyCharms Nov 2 #13

Certainly makes sense. "Parading" the implied positive contrast of his "skin tone" w "others". Ugh. electric_blue68 Nov 2 #71

no, barbtries Nov 2 #44

Hmmm, they (in their minds) don't care, or are proud of their racism etc electric_blue68 Nov 2 #73

Too magas, racism is a positive and maybe even the password to get into their sick little gatherings. Attilatheblond Nov 2 #74

well said and well argued, LuckyCharms fishwax Nov 2 #10

He's just not mentally competent enough to pull that off. Ms. Toad Nov 2 #14

I disagree with your first sentence 100%. LuckyCharms Nov 2 #17

In all of those, he's saying exactly what he wants to say, Ms. Toad Nov 2 #25

I agree 100%! ShazzieB Nov 2 #70

Yes, lack of impulse control is a result of his ongoing dementia... ananda Nov 2 #24

I agree. CrispyQ Nov 2 #32

It doesn't take mental competence... Think. Again. Nov 2 #36

Lying doesn't take mental competence. Ms. Toad Nov 2 #55

As those of us with direct experience dealing with mental decline know... Think. Again. Nov 2 #56

Before my spouse was diagnosed with cognitive impairment consistent with the early stages of Alzheimers Ms. Toad Nov 2 #72

What I see happening with trump is simple "bullshitting". Think. Again. Nov 2 #79

He simply doesn't have that cognitive ability and impulse control. Ms. Toad Nov 2 #80

After a lifetime of doing it, it's inherent and habitual to any of his conversations. Think. Again. Nov 2 #81

Lying, yes. Ms. Toad Nov 2 #82

I disagree. edisdead Nov 2 #60

He can barely read a teleprompter, let alone follow a message someone else crafted. Ms. Toad Nov 2 #69

Dump was taught gaslighting, it is prime nature to him to gaslight others. That is the way he functions.. Clouds Passing Nov 2 #23

+1. Exactly right. LuckyCharms Nov 2 #26

it's true. barbtries Nov 2 #30

It's not just any gas,either,it's methane. He's one of the world's major producers. BattleRow Nov 2 #37

He was a con man before he became a fascist. Now he's both. Martin Eden Nov 2 #41

I think it's both. He is appealing to the deranged, who think acting insane is cool, like Eloonatic. Clouds Passing Nov 2 #43

The dementia is definitely showing in many ways, but wnylib Nov 2 #52

But ... does any of that attract undecided voters at this point? Martin Eden Nov 2 #57

I don't think that Trump cares about attracting undecided voters. wnylib Nov 2 #68

He and his Rethug accomplices plan to steal the election. Martin Eden Nov 2 #75

And it's a fight that we will win. wnylib Nov 2 #76

i think the implication was clear. barbtries Nov 2 #29

He could not find the word firing-squad Farmer-Rick Nov 2 #39

Agree. MorbidButterflyTat Nov 2 #50

You're exactly right ... Chump's got dog whistles ... the cult-MAGAs know them and they respond FakeNoose Nov 2 #42

May I share this on social media? edisdead Nov 2 #58

Of course! LuckyCharms Nov 2 #59

Take away everything Trump's supporters claim was a "joke" or "he didn't really mean," and there'd be nothing left. n/t Beartracks Nov 2 #63

It's what Michael Cohen described as "code" 9 years ago. Nothing has changed. He learned it early. n/t Evolve Dammit Nov 2 #64

It's clear that he wanted that ODDLY SPECIFIC/DETAILED imagery out there. Wingus Dingus Nov 2 #65
