Quiet Piggy!

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." ðŸ¤®

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. 


And now, your Piggy Memes (and a few others)!

















Clay Jones. This is his first cartoon after suffering a stroke! I wish the best for this brilliant cartoonist!

Lastly, if we don't meet again before Thanksgiving, have a wonderful one, Resisters!


Quiet, Turkey!
