The Palmer Report? Really?

The Palmer Report? Really?

This thread is the first time I've ever heard of it. After a few minutes of poking around it, I've concluded it's a relatively small media-blog that's pretty strongly anti-Trump. I'm surprised by the number of comments some of the articles get, though, so just how small it is I can't be sure.

Back on topic: I've been questioning Trump's mental acuity since the first time I heard him speak in front of a crowd. When left to his own devices, he has difficulty expressing thoughts coherently, and tends to drift from one idea to another without completing any of them.

I hate to keep bringing him up, but I love John Oliver's show. A few years back, he did a segment on Trump's speeches, noticing that Trump sounded exactly like what you'd get if you typed an entire paragraph on your iPhone, using only predictive text to complete each word.

Here's the two and a half minute clip from that episode (brief language warning close to 1:20):

Nothing but a feeble attempt to distract attention away from the fact that the left is trying to foist someone who is undeniably brain addled and suffering from dementia onto the American public as a replacement

John Oliver is hilarious. Love that guy.

Too bad he doesn't trouble himself very much over details like facts and accuracy.

I guess people are in for the funniest (in a tragic way) presidential debates ever!

At least we no longer hear nonsense about Trump being a secret super genius.

You don't have to be a super genius when your opponents keep acting like fools and idiots.

More than a few rumblings from the Democrats laying groundwork to cancel any debates.

Trump actually fared well against Hillary. Biden appears to be growing increasingly senile every week. He might very well wander off stage like he's done recently during video press releases/speeches like he's forgot what he's doing or where he is.

They are quite transparent.

At least Joe will tell us his time is up before he walks off. "Time for hot milk and a nap!"

First of all, "scandal".

Do liberals even know what that word means?

Second, multiple named sources have said on the record that the President was not specifically informed about the supposed Russian bounties because the claims were not considered credible, and indeed today there remains much dispute over their veracity.

So claiming that we can determine Trump's mental fitness based on a dubious piece of intelligence that his advisors elected not to tell him about seems a rather odd argument to make. This isn't like Obama being given repeated and explicit warmings about ISIS for an entire year and then insisting he never saw it coming when the situation blew up in his face. Now that was real scandal.

If he's ever called on it, he can just say it's parody and that nothing on his show should be regarded as literal truth. Just like Rachael Maddow.

Or Glenn Beck, or Rush Limbaugh...

We should vote for Kanye West for President!
