I know we’re all shocked that the corporate media, which spent so much time speculating on Biden’s supposed cognitive decline, is silent on this matter.
No! I refuse to accept mental decline as an excuse.
He was a dumb racist fuck 40 years ago, before any of the decline began. He remains a dumb racist fuck today. He’s just stupider now.
downward spiral
I’m pretty sure my brain is also on a 40 year downward spiral. I think I peaked at 17.
Argh! Donnie may have been commander-in-chief, but he was still a civilian. (The thought of Trump being subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice does make me smile.)
I know it’s a bit muddled in the US due to the militia origins of police forces (and militarization).
Well, he probably has been on a downward spiral since his return to civilian life.
Wasn’t he in a military school?
Wasn’t he in a military school?
But still under civilian law and authority. Unless he enlisted or was commissioned, still a civilian. Citizen Bone Spurs.
They’re not making excuses for him, they’re just analyzing how he gets his bullshit across. It’s not either/or. He was an asshole in 1984 with a sharp mind; now he’s an asshole with a declining mind. We knew this. Time will do that to you.
I mean, I’m not sure where curing his mind deviates from the sending him to hell narrative, but there are some Aaranofskys still around, or I could see him having epiphanies about how labor groups and old buildings should improve together even if he’s not the MC in the story.

That, and I still have my pet theory that he had a mild stroke while in office. Or Long COVID. (or both.)

Is the usual penalty for treason still apply from that? /snark
In other news, water is wet.
Now I gotta pee! Thanks a lot!
Time will do that to you.
So will a poor diet, lack of exercise both mental and physical, and the probable abuse of prescription drugs.
Don’t forget the syphilis!
Slightly different sort of brain “worms,” but 'twill do, verily, 'twill do.
