The Orange One had a meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani the other day.
Oh my! It's looooove.
He's positively giddy!
As he flirtingly pats his arm.
Then the outfit change!
Everyone, left and right, is puzzled by this crush. There was this analysis going around the internet. There are many good thoughts in there, but I'm thinking the author is overthinking things. I think it is something more basic.
It's the dementia.
It's two-fold: forgetfulness and friendliness.
The Alzheimer-in-Chief, with his failing brain, may simply not have remembered that he was supposed to hate this Democratic Socialist.
We know that there are many people behind the scenes propping this guy up. He has always been ill-informed on the issues, and he can't absorb new information now with his increasingly-feeble brain. I bet he doesn't even write many of his own non-tweets anymore. He may not have remembered, going in to the meeting, that Mamdani was supposed to be his sworn enemy.
There is maybe an even more powerful explanation: I bet dollars to donuts that during their closed-door meeting that Mamdani tapped into something very meaningful to Donnie: New York City.
Li'l Donny adores the city. He was born in Queens and lived all of his life in NYC, until he had to leave in disgrace and felonies to the land of lower taxes. He fashioned himself into a Big Apple developer, hella crooked, yes, but if there is anything that Grumpf is able to love – and there's not much; love is not part of this person – it's the City of New York.
Mamdani also loves New York City. He was able to reach into this part of Baby Hands, and like a good cognitive therapist, was able to play upon that shared love. Add that to Mamdani's genuine niceness, charisma, ability to connect with people, and a smidge of flattery, and Gramps couldn't help but be charmed.
Again, I tap into my own experiences. I cannot count the number of grumpy old men I've turned around with just some kind words and genuine connection. Mamdani is good at connection. He's gracious, well-spoken, and intelligent. I think he just let DonOld be DonOld. And the president fell under his spell.
Today we look at disinhibition, a hallmark behavior of dementia.
Disinhibition is the diminishing ability to control one's actions, whether it is a verbal or physical action, or an emotional outburst. Simply put, the person acts on impulse.
Disinhibition can take many forms. It can be blurting out a thought that you would never say in a certain situation, acting out sexually, or even gobbling your food in huge bites when the speech therapist is sitting with you and has just told you to "go slow - take one spoonful at a time - chew well before you swallow!"
Not that I would know anything about that. 😉
Verbally, it's most often the absence of that little voice inside your head that tells you that now might not be the best time to say that thing.
I've been on the receiving end of some colorful disinhibited discourse from my dementia patients over the years. Some of the most memorable include:
"Quit smiling at me with those big horse teeth!"
"You really should have that mole on your face removed. It's really ugly."
and, the worst, very early in my career. When doing some nostalgia therapy, I brought up the 20th anniversary of Woodstock, which was in the news at the time (yes, I've been in the field for quite a while!):
"Ugh, I don't like that hippie n****r Jew music!"
Oh my!
Subject changed pronto.
We are seeing more instances of disinhibition by Dear Leader.
Of course, he lies as often as he takes a breath, his disdain for women has never been a secret, and he has always had difficulty with emotional regulation and inhibition of odious discourse, but it seems that his disinhibition has gotten worse lately.
The "Quiet Piggy!" is one instance. He panicked at the question about the Epstein files and lashed out at a woman with an intensity and a nastiness that shook us. People are not forgetting this one.
Here it is again. The reporter is Catherine Lucey from Bloomburg.
Another instance of disinhibition with the press was this exchange when Mary Bruce of ABC asked some pointed questions while he sat with the murderer Mohammed bin Salman. She had asked some hard questions moments before. This time, he pivoted from his usual "fake news" to lobbing personal insults, saying, "you're a terrible person and a terrible reporter."
The whole scene with Mohammad bin Salman was alarming. Not only did he rail on Mary Bruce, but he defended the murderer in the room and horsed around with him, laughing and joking about fist-bumps, calling him "one of the most respected people in the world." 🤮
When asked about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Kumquat Pol Pot painted the murdered man as "extremely controversial;" that the murder was simply, "things happen;" and that bin Salman "knew nothing about it."
Watch here:
Outrageous!
Firstly, Dickhead, no, Khashoggi was not "controversial." He was an esteemed Washington Post journalist working hard in a dangerous country. Secondly, being controversial does not justify being hacked up with a bone saw! Thirdly, murder by bone saw is not something that "just happens." That is when they get your order wrong in the drive-through. Lastly, the CIA determined that bin Salman ordered the murder. Period.
You are both despicable!!
But I digress. Back to disinhibition....
There was a moment of disinhibition during the Oval Office meeting when he announced new pricing on weight-management medications (or "fat drug" as he calls them).
Here he is, breaking all kinds of decorum and HIPAA regulations by naming his staff one by one, revealing their medial status:
He obviously was unable to inhibit some ferocious and uncontrolled lashings Monday, to the point that he developed a hoarse voice. How hard to do you have to yell before your voice becomes hoarse and stays that way? Hard.
Here he is with the hoarse voice explaining how he developed it:
The timing, though. I wonder if the stack-blowing was directed at Mike "Little" Johnson about the crumbling support for blocking the release of the Epstein Files. Johnson obviously had to tell him that the votes were not there. Drumpf reversed course and ok'd the vote on the same day that his voice became hoarse. I'm convinced that he only supported the yes vote after he had been told plainly that he didn't have the votes.
I digress again.
The yelling until he was hoarse? Clearly unable to control his emotions and inhibit his behavior. Not at all befitting a president.
Other Signs of Brain Disease
There were a couple moments during the Veteran's Day ceremony that were concerning. One was when he had difficulty raising his arm to salute. He was finally able to complete the salute and hold it. The hesitation was unusual, though.
I start the clip at that moment:
The other moment at the same ceremony is when he felt up the wreath he had just placed. Was this another disinhibition? Did the flowers look like boobs?
I had missed this tidbit but it was recently brought to my attention. Dementia, ignorance, stupidity? Or all of the above?
He conflates the Declaration of Independence with the Civil War.
Just one note on The Big News.
Today The Pedo signed the bill that releases the Epstein files. It was a remarkable, quick journey through Congress for the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The house passed the bill 427 – 1, and it passed the Senate by unanimous consent. No vote was even needed!
The fact that it passed the Senate within hours shook Speaker Johnson. He had counted on debate and amendments by the Senate, which would have sent it back to the House, delaying passage even longer.
But no.
The DOJ has 30 days to comply. There are some loopholes within the bill that may yet protect the bad actors, and the "ongoing investigation" may still be used as an excuse to keep them hidden, but the shit has officially hit the fan, and our country may be on the way to ridding ourselves of this disgusting virus. He is backed into a corner. Let's see what happens next.
Here's the latest evidence of Dear Leader's failing brain poop:
"Nobody knows what magnets are."
What the hell is he saying in this clip? What universe are we living in where words no longer go together to make comprehensible messages?
Note also the slurring.
These other moments have a lot of evidence of a failing brain:
Lies and dementia #1
There's the usual run of the mill lies:
Gas prices - no, they are not near $2. Nationwide, the prices range from $2.49 in Oklahoma to $4.67 in California. The official average gas price in the U.S. is $3.07.
Inflation - No, inflation isn't down; it's up 2.7% over last year. And the Walmart Thanksgiving Dinner grift is not an economic bellwether. It is a made-up number based on whatever Walmart wants to portray. In this case, a 25% reduced cost for a Thanksgiving dinner that has 28% fewer items. We went over this in the last post.
The good news is that even his most ardent supporters will be able to see that he is lying when they fill up at the pump and go buy to buy the old-fashioned groceries for Thanksgiving and gifts for Christmas.
Plus a fresh serving of "Every accusation is an admission" by calling Democrats "con men" who "make up numbers."
Dementia - the word-finding difficulty/use of "empty word" when he said, "the chart or whatever it is they do."
And slurring too.
Dementia: forgetting the House Minority Leader's name
REPORTER: Mr. President, could you tell us why you needed to get an MRI? I understand that the results were good, but what was it for?
"Because it's part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very standard. Why, do you think I shouldn't have it? Other people get it."
"Here’s what the story is. I had an MRI. The doctor said it was the best result he has ever seen as a doctor. That’s it. But, I had an MRI as part of my standard, yearly—or, I think they do it every two years. But I have the physical every year. But the result was outstanding.”
REPORTER: Was it your brain, or … ?
"I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well."
and he went on:
"Now, the other thing I took is I took, as you know, a uh advanced, very advanced test on mental acuity because I think a president should have to do that. And as you probably heard, I aced it. I got a perfect score. I got the highest score. I got a perfect score."
So much wrong in this couple of minutes.
"I have no idea what they analyzed."
Huh? The body part being examined is surrounded by a separate piece of equipment called a coil, and the scanned body part goes inside the MRI machine. Did he not know what part was inside? And of course, physicians would have absolutely given him informed consent information and explained the procedure.
How could he not know that his head or chest or shoulder or cankles was being scanned? Answer: he can't.
"It is very standard."
No. It is not. MRIs are used only when there is a serious concern of a serious condition. It is not standard.
Neither is two "yearly" physicals in the span of a few months.
"Why, do you think I shouldn't have it?"
Well, you certainly shouldn't have it as a "standard" procedure, but you definitely should have it if they are trying to diagnose disease!
"The results were outstanding."
No. The results were either "within normal limits" or pointed to a disease or defect. There is no "outstanding" in most medical exams (though I'll give you, if your cholesterol numbers improve drastically since your last blood test, your physician may give you a high five and an "Outstanding!")
"I took a very advanced test of mental acuity and got the highest score."
Honey, we've gone over this. It was a cognitive screen for dementia, "not mental acuity," whatever that means. The "highest score" signifies (that means "means," sir) very little.
If you did undergo more extensive cognitive tests, there is no "highest score" there either. You, sir, are an imbecile.
Baby Hands is now suddenly calling for release of the Epstein Files.
Well, this is an about-face! What's up li'l guy? Why the change of heart?
The given reason is:
"House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party."
He said so and more in a non-tweet over the weekend:
What's going on?
Could it be the simple matter of a rare cave? It may be that the reason is that he realizes he doesn't have the votes to let a veto stand, so let's cut to the chase. We'll figure out a new batch of lies later.
And maybe add to that a dollop of Democrats that are implicated, which it will take the heat off of him, and a pinch of knowing that his party is fracturing over this and he can't afford more defectors like popular MTG.
But that sounds too grown-up and presidential, so likely not it.
More likely, the 7-week delay in having the House come back to session was to give them time to redact, redact, redact. He ordered AG Barbie Bondi to open an investigation into the Democrats (only) who are mixed up in the filth, so now there's a built-in excuse to cite inability to release the files because of an ongoing investigation, or if they are released, his name is under 5-letter-long black bars.
But I said to go ahead and vote to release them. <throws up hands>
Or, maybe the files are no more. He could've gone ahead and ordered the documents' outright destruction.
Or, there could be other reasons that only he and his glitchy brain muck understand.
Know this, Slime Bucket. The survivors are still here, ready to bring the sunlight to this fetid, filthy pile. They won't go away even if the files do.
Believe the women.
Katie Johnson is a pseudonym, but she is a real person.
In any case, the Epstein Files matter will go to vote tomorrow (Tuesday, November 18). I'll be in the midst of a planned power outage all freaking day, so I will have limited ability to follow the news.
The Searchable Database
A site called Courier created a searchable database of all the emails that the Oversight Committee released. The Felon's name is in there more than 1600 times, more than anyone else, including Epstein himself.
Note this: he didn't deny that a BJ happened, he just denied that it was Bubba, the 42nd President of the United States, on the receiving end! A Bubba BJ did happen, and there are photos of it.
The new Bubba is speculated to be Bubba Saulsbury, son of (I kid you not) Dick Saulsbury, a Texas oil magnate.
This doesn't stop the world from making Bubba the 42 BJ jokes from now 'til kingdom *ahem* come.
Megyn Kelly
People are still talking about Megyn's horrible words that excuse away sexual abuse of teens, as if it's somehow less odious than sexual abuse of children younger than teens.
Here's the thing. Even if they were over 18, the supposed age of consent, these girls would have still been without the power to consent in the face of enormously powerful men. Trafficking and sexual abuse of women is awful at any age.
Even at age 18, a child's brain is still developing. A woman's brain hasn't fully developed until the early-to-mid 20s. The trauma will inform their lives no how old they are. Of course, it's more and more heartbreaking the younger a child is, but the degrees of harm are negligible. Sexual abuse is never, ever excusable at any age. We shouldn't even have to talk about this!
Listen to this actual child answer Megyn:
@cheeringforchange Here’s a reminder from an actual 14 year old about what a child even IS. If adults are out here debating the “acceptable age” of abuse, then kids aren’t the ones who need to grow up. ✨sources✨ https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2256 https://apnews.com/article/megyn-kelly-epstein-pedophile-comments-people-30b26bfef2f648e29521c67d76a74af3 https://www.reuters.com/world/us/megyn-kelly-criticized-remarks-epstein-victims-age-2025-02-12/ @The Megyn Kelly Show #megynkelly#protectchildren#childhood#predator♬ original sound - eloise
Megyn should be ashamed at herself for excusing these inexcusable acts.
The Rest of The Crap o' the Week
WTF MTG?
Our little Marjorie has had an about-face and is finding herself on The Tangerine Palpatine's List of Wrath.
She has broken with him, mostly on Epstein, and is now attempting to eat a tin of humble pie.
It all sounds good, but I ain't buying it. She's been a horrible person for the last five years in office and now wants to claim that, "Of course I never want to cause any harm or anything bad for anyone." Yeah. Uh-huh. Sure.
Funny that her death threats only come now, from her own party. When she was being odious, hideous, insulting, and racist, did any death threats come from the other side?
No. Because we are not violence-prone sicko sycophant cult members.
Here she is talking to CNN's Dana Bash about her change of heart.
Still, there may be some good to come from it. She still has strong support from her constituents. Perhaps her stand – if it holds and she lives – will give others a way to voice their opposition. Maybe? Or is that just my Pollyanna heart talking?
James Comey Prosecution in Peril
And tangentially, the case against Leticia James.
A federal judge said that regarding the grand jury proceedings against Comey: "The record points to a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps, missteps that led an FBI agent and a prosecutor to potentially undermine the integrity of the grand jury proceeding" and called the government's handling of the case held "genuine issues of misconduct."
Some yahoo made a poster to show Dear Leader and he jumped on the idea.
It's a stooopid idea, one meant to enrich bankers yet again and bankrupt regular Americans.
The Tariff Grift
Even Faux News acknowledged inflation.
Oh my! Prices are rising, especially with groceries! What to do?
Reverse the tariffs! What a genius! Who is the idiot who ordered tariffs in the first place?
This Disgusting Creep.
I didn't think I could hate him more.
ICE Shit
Detained pastors
Michael Woolf (two "o" Michael Woolf the pastor, not two "f" Michael Wolff the writer) was detained, along with other protestors in Chicago. Here's a photo:
An off-duty ICE officer was arrested in Riverside County, California after holding a minor at gunpoint.
ICE illegally deported a woman who was a victim of domestic violence. She had helped get her violent husband deported. Then they shipped her right to her husband, who was at the airport when she arrived.
There's more, but truthfully I don't have the bandwidth to outline all of the ICE atrocities. People are being terrorized all over.
The Felon pardoned some of his fellow felons
You remember the names of those who perpetrated the 2020 "Stollen Election" Fraud. Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, John Eastman. All pardoned by "proclamation" on social media.
The thing is, these people were convicted on state charges; none were charged in federal court. Pardons can only be granted to criminals convicted for federal offenses. Five years on, and he can't give up the election fraud and coup attempt. It's just another smoke-and-mirrors game this moron is inflicting upon We the People.
The Felon Hosts Other Criminals
And – of course – insults with racist tropes at the same time!
Syrian interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa visited the Whitewash House recently. The visit is notable because no Syrian leader has visited the U.S. since Syria gained independence in 1946. Al-Sharaa was an al-Qaida operative who once had a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head. He led the rebels against Syrian President Bashar Assad. I'd say this guy has the real potential to return to his violent past in a country still ripe for unsettling activities!
But we should understand that it's because of that past, not in spite of it, that the Mango Mussolini is so smitten.
Then this weird, insulting and completely racist thing happened.
The second Middle East terrorist to be visiting The People's House will be murderer and all-around evil guy Mohammed bin Salman.
