Trump: "The reason I don't want to talk about affordability is because everybody knows it's far less expensive under Trump than it was under Sleepy Joe Biden and the prices are way down."

Explanation: quite a while back (2016) I had one of my long argumentative exchanges with another member over whether one could diagnose Trump's pathologic narcissism without seeing him in an in-person exam. I noted there was so much footage of him in the public sphere that not only was an in-person exam unnecessary it would only muck up matters given someone with a personality disorder like Trump's would have a profound lack of insight. It would mean he wouldn't/couldn't give honest replies to questions anyway.

At the time the Goldwater Rule was brought up which essentially was an ethical position one should not publicly diagnose a person withe a psychiatric disorder. But countering that was the ethical position of a duty to warn.

Dr Bandy Lee was close to getting tenure at Harvard when she came out with a book about the danger Trump posed to the country based on her duty to warn. Her teaching contract was not renewed. The discussion of the Goldwater Rule became front and center and a duty to warn was brushed under the rug.

Come forward a decade and it's clear Trump's diagnosis had been correct, he is dangerous and I was right.

Thanks for the information on Cassandra, an interesting literary character no doubt.

Plants are far too intelligent to attend a speech by The Donald.

Viruses, now, I wouldn't put a thing past those sneaky little ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊...

Attend a speech? I dunno. They seem like a perfect captive audience to me. They refuse to walk out, even when subjected to Trump level singing and dancing!

Emmer: "There is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about. That is a direct quote from Commie Mamdani! And it should terrify every single freedom-loving American."

Channeling Saint Reagan, while forgetting what a Lefty RINO he's turned out to be.

"I think you all know that I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.'"

Everything is down more than everything else

Trump: Gasoline is way down. Inflation is way down. The biggest thing is inflation. The second biggest thing is energy. Energy is way down. What’s also down—gasoline. Also, the biggest thing is inflation and it’s way down.

Few more days and his loop will be just 1 word long. What word will it me ? Inflation ? War ? Biden ?

Correction: She was at Yale when this happened. She is now at Harvard.

Bandy X. Lee - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org
In 2020, Yale University failed to renew Lee's medical faculty position for allegedly breaking the Goldwater rule in her speech regarding Alan Dershowitz and Trump. Lee sued Yale for breach of contract and breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, but after an unexplained change of judges, the suit was dismissed in August 2022. Lee subsequently filed for an appeal, but on June 20, 2023, the appellate court, to which the same judge who dismissed her suit was promoted, upheld the ruling. Lee warned against the silencing of intellectuals and criticized Yale's declaration of "no obligation to academic freedom" in her case as "abandoning its principles in a time of greatest need."

Cassandra​


ByRobinson Jeffers

The mad girl with the staring eyes and long white fingers
Hooked in the stones of the wall,
The storm-wrack hair and screeching mouth: does it matter, Cassandra,
Whether the people believe
Your bitter fountain? Truly men hate the truth, they'd liefer
Meet a tiger on the road.
Therefore the poets honey their truth with lying; but religion—
Vendors and political men
Pour from the barrel, new lies on the old, and are praised for kind
Wisdom. Poor bitch be wise.
No: you'll still mumble in a corner a crust of truth, to men
And gods disgusting—you and I, Cassandra.

Indeed, my recollection is that many if not most people agreed with you, because even then, he was so clearly not well.
