"no he likes falling over and dribbling"

Trump falls over and dribbles continuously

He just accused grieving parents of being evil on live TV for wanting answers

Trump is weird. With Biden there was an obvious and significant decline from about 2021, and it was hideous by 2022 (which is when the lefties on PB started circling the "it;s a stammer" wagons)

Trump seems to go up and down. One day you decide he's entirely lost it, then two days later he is sharp and funny, and mocking the media quite successfully

I am not at all sure he has dementia. I am sure he is weird and probably mad and utterly unfitted to be POTUS

ICE are a bunch of thugs mandated to ignore constitutional protections.

ICE interrogate kids at youth baseball practice—threatens to arrest coach when he defends them.

Every kid on team is U.S. citizen.

"Agent said if kids are here legally, what do they have to lose," coach explained.

"I told them they still have their 5th & 4th Amendment rights."

Youman Wilder has not only coached baseball on Manhattan's West Side for 20 years—he also has a law degree.

He has since changed the practice schedule as a precaution to make kids feel safe—but all except 2 players have still been too afraid to come back out to the batting cages...

No prizes for guessing that racial profiling was involved.

It astounds me how many utter thugs must have been hiding in the ranks of ICE, only held back by fear of getting punished. They didn't get this way overnight. If you're prepared to interrogate kids, snatch mothers from their children and kidnap people off the street, you were always like that.

If the dems get back control before Trump turns the US in to a dictatorship, there are going to have to be soviet-scale purges of law enforcement at all levels.

The Soviet purges created a people even more brutal and subservient to the great leader.

Plus lots of slave labour.

Of course if the Dems want to have any purges they could first purge themselves of all those who participated in the big lie that Senile Joe was capable of being President for another four years or perhaps all those who supported unrestricted illegal immigration.

The problem being that there would be very few Dem politicians left in DC if they did so.

Air india preliminary report is out. When the BBC digests it, details will be here:

Switching off the engine fuel supply seems an odd decision by the pilot when taking off.

The speculation would be something like he was trying to do something else like retracting the wheels and pressed the wrong button.

I can't help thinking that the ability to know which button to press is, or should be, the baseline knowledge for a pilot

I think the pilot uses those switches to shut off the engines each time the plane lands. They would certainly know what they do.

It doesn't sound as though that's a thing they could do by accident, though, if the process described upthread is accurate.

I think your last paragraph is definitely true. I also think he is not very bright and also not well educated. On the last point he often comes out with stuff which has come as a surprise to him, so assumes nobody else knows, when most do , but he really doesn't seem to have dementia.

I disagree that "he's not very bright". He seems genuinely very bright, not an educated "intellectual", but sharp, cunning, witty, adroit, yes, that's one reason why he entirely outfoxed the GOP the establishment and is still running rings around people. He's genuinely clever (and also wildly flawed)

Bankrupt 6 times, so he's not very bright

His TV persona is that of a genius, so people call him that, even when he says and does really, really dumb stuff

Running lots of businesses and some of them going bankrupt isn't, per se, a sign of failure.

The fact that he doesn't seem to have, net, grown his inheritence is.

He has, interim, become President of the United States. Twice

Perhaps he has bigger ambitions than "growing his inheritance"

The stupidity on this site vis a vis Trump is quite exceptional
