    He literally is at the stage of dementia where it’s visible in the face and he’s lashing out at people on camera. Why is he still president?

      If I had a dollar every time I heard “Politician I hate definitely has late stage physical/mental illness and will be going away shortly”, I’d be rich enough to blow millions bankrolling corrupt NYC mayoral candidates who promised to keep my taxes low.

      Trump appears healthier than Cheney and Cheney lasted five years longer than Trump is right now. So don’t hold your breath.

          And in another five years, I’m sure he’ll look even worse. But will he still be breathing out that noxious brew of smarm and bigotry? So long as he’s still breathing.

            And in another five years, I’m sure he’ll look even worse.

            First off, have you ever had relatives with dementia? When you have a relative, especially a close relative, you can see the signs. A drop in the face is one of the most noticeable, often it’s one of the first things you notice, alongside other things like trouble walking, coordination issues, and often Erratic, Hostile behavior. The last one of course is one that Trump has always had, but the other ones can be seen very clearly in most news footage of him. Man’s got issues.

            Second off, I don’t know what things are like over there, but here we have public information films that are broadcast on TV to teach people how to spot a stroke, because it’s imperative that you get someone help when you suspect a stroke. The signs are:

            • A droop in one side of the face.
            • Trouble lifting their arms.
            • Slurred speech.

            The Acronym “FAST” is used here: Face, Arms, Speech, Time. A droop in the face is something that remains for a while after a stroke. Donald Trump very likely has either had a stroke or a severe brain injury on the level of being shot through the head and surviving. If I saw a man who looked like Donald Trump in that picture in the Supermarket, I would stop and ask if they were OK, because I might need to call a fucking Ambulance!

            And I’m not saying that for partisan reasons, even with Biden’s senior moments I thought that (as did he) that he was getting too long in the tooth, but it’s very clear this man has dementia and it is developing quickly. His father had dementia and people who have had family members with the condition are at a higher risk of having it.

            All of this is an issue because this man is in charge of Nuclear Weapons and is also the head of a personality cult that the ruling party want to maintain no matter what and thus is reluctant to officially at least trigger the Twenty-fifth Amendment. Donald Trump is becoming incapacitated and the Administration is reluctant to accept that.

            Despite not being American, the fact that America has nukes, one of most powerful armed forces in the world and are in a Cold War with two others nuclear armed nations with one of them at war with a European country and the other threatening to Invade an ally and the source of the world’s Microprocessors, and has a President who’s very clearly had a stroke and is developing dementia, it is kinda my problem because I don’t particularly want to be vaporized when the Russians slam nukes into Edinburgh City Center and Edinburgh Airport, because I just happen to be in the blast radius of both of those places, ken?

      He will progress to the point where he won’t even be competent enough to speak, and they will not article 25 him. They’ll hide him away in the white house and Vance will effectively be the president, or someone in his cabinet will effectively take over. And we’ll have our own little death of Stalin.

        I honestly don’t think we’ll know he’s died until multiple days later if it doesn’t happen within a public place. If it happens with few witnesses, they’ll ride that dead pony as far as they can, push through as much as they can “as tRump”, before announcing it. Weekend at Bernie’s: US Corpacalypse
