King Donny was bragging about acing cognitive tests again.
It's the Montreal Cognitive Assessment that he's taken, and it isn't given for entertainment.
He's being given these tests for a reason. The fact that it's three times now is really remarkable. He pretty clearly doesn't know the reason he takes them, but he complies with the requests.
The reason is that somebody is tracking his mental decline.
The real question is who? His mental decline is patently obvious. Somebody has enough influence on him to be able to require him to take it without him knowing why. But who are the suspects and why are they tracking it?
An obvious answer is so that somebody knows when to flip the switch on the 25th Amendment and has his decline documented. Another reason, however, might be that at some point a guardianship and conservatorship can be established and somebody, perhaps Melania, can control his assets.
Anyway you look at it, we have a demented man with sycophants surrounding him in the White House, launching wars, experimenting with 19th Century tax structures, and ending the status of the US as a great country. This is being allowed to occur because it benefits somebody.
cont:
Kimberlay. Kimberly Guilfoyle. I love calling her Kimberlay. That's my little pet name but you are the greatest. I hope you come back here in 12 years or whenever the term ends
Trump about Guilfoyle.
It's fairly well documented that those with disordered desires lose their ability to restrain themselves in regard to them.

He didn’t think he would be kissing my ass, he really didn’t…and now he has to be nice to me….he better be nice to me, he’s gotta be..
Donald Trump on Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the ruler of Saudi Arabia.
What an irony. Bibi Netanyahu talked the demented Don into a war and the Prince has been urging Don to keep at it. US forces and finances are fighting a war in the Middle East for Israel and Saudi Arabia. Don's the ass kisser, but he's too dumb to realize it.

We're entering the most dangerous time of the Trump interregnum, from now until the November election.
He's already bouncing off the walls. He's losing a war, he's threatening our Allies. Nobody in the world has any respect for Trump, and he knows it. Allies ignore him. Enemies ignore hm. And he can't win a war that he thought would last a few days.
The economy is tanking due to the war, and there's no end to that disaster in sight.
He's trying to ban mail in voting. That will fail.
He's been enjoined from further work on his pet ballroom, and the Court indicated that it was almost certain that it would rule against him. That will take months to happen, and work on the ballroom will never start up again. It's over.
He's going to start lashing out like crazy.
He is crazy.
The clock on the 25th Amendment is really winding down.
I still think my theory is more likely, but its interesting that I'm not the only one who is traveling this line of thought.
Uncle Mike, as he makes clear, believes that the plan is to wait until next year at which time the illegitimate occupant of the Oval Office, billionaire insurrectionist Donald Trump, will be impeached and removed from office, there by installing Vance as President. It's an interesting theory.
The problem with it, I think, is that it requires the cooperation of a fair number of Republican Senators to go along with it. I don't think they have the guts. Senators like Wyoming's John Barrasso have proven so spineless that he's being examined by the Washington D.C. zoo for a place in the invertebrate display. To be fair, they fear their voters, and in some areas, like Wyoming, the MAGA delusion is so deep that a lot of its adherents will carry it to the gave where they'll have to ask questions about why they supported an illegal war launched by an immoral serial polygamist while the environment went to pot. Barrasso will be right there with them, saying "they made me do it so I could keep my job".
Anyhow, I don't think enough Republican Senators will go along, unless the Senate GOP starts to hemorrhage pretty severely this November, in which case their save their job instincts will start to kick in.
My theory, which I've held here for a long time, is a bit more sinister.
I've thought since before the election that the plan was to let Trump slip into increasingly worse dementia and then remove him just before the November election via the 25th Amendment. That's nearly win/win for Vance. It might cause a huge sigh of relief amongst independents who are refugee Republicans and the two or three Republicans who aren't MAGA, saving some of the election. It also might give cover to candidates like Chuck Gray whose platform is that they love Trump so much, they want to be his adoring handmaiden. If he's gone, they can go to the cabinet, pull out the bottle of Old Crow, put on the Boomtown Rats single I Never Loved Eva Braun, and start acting like sentient mammals.
If it doesn't save the election, Vance can still be President for two years and start pulling the "I'm not responsible for this particular stupid Don idea" while also blaming the Democrats for everything else. Shoot, as the war against Iran will still be going on by then, he can declare victory and declare himself a hero, even if we haven't won by then, and we won't have.
Anyway you look at it, getting into office before Trump's term ends is Vance's only hope. People don't like him. The stench of Trump will attach too much for him to win on his own merits, and those merits, if you want to call them that, are not MAGA, they're NatCon.
The problem at this point is that while allowing Trump to get wackier and wackier serves their interests, we get deeper into bat shit crazy weird territory every day. As it is, we're at war now, it would seem, as Bibi thought this was his chance and Bibi, Putin, and rich people, some of whom are in the Epstein files, are the only people Trump listens to. We are in an area in which there are, now, hardly any limits, thanks to the Supreme Court. If Bibi tells Donny nuking Tehran is okay, there's no guarantee an addled Trump wouldn't do it, although we can still hope that there's backchannel conversations in the DoD about how far they let this go before they just start saying no.
Presumably, if Donny comes in and says, "hey guys, I'm going to put the ball room here and it will be fun to have a march through a triumphal arch after I nuke Tehran, let's do that today so we can fight North Korean next week and put on a cabaret in Havanna!" the cabinet will still say no, but again, the problem is that the people in this administration, with a hand of exceptions, might actually be too far gone themselves. Markwayne Mullin? For goodness sake, he needs to be sent back to 6th grade and be reminded you don't wear your hat indoors, not given a job with the administration. Steve Miller? Yikes.
Well, smoke and mirrors and backrooms. Marco probably is angling for the Presidency himself and doesn't want to be too tarred with Trump feces. There are probably others still.
By June or July we'll know if I was right.
A good clue I might be is that since the war with Iran started, Vance is hard to find.
Yesterday, early, the Armed Forces of the United States staged a commando raid and removed Maduro et ux from Venezuela.
The raid was loss free, which has caused one knowledgeable person I know to speculate that the Venezuelan military was in on it, and that it basically amounted to a coup in favor of Delcy Rodríguez of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela.
Pity poor Maria Corina Machado, the opposition leader we supposedly favored. I guess she's yesterday's news.
Anyhow, yesterday the senile illegitimate occupant of the White House, Donald Trump, came on and gave a rambling press conference full of weird diversions and babble, but he indicated "we", i.e., the United States, was going to run the country.
A commando raid an occupation does not make. Venezuela remains in control of the Venezuelan military and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela.
And Rodríguez rejected the assertion that Maduro has been replaced. No doubt a United Socialist Party isn't going opt accept the doddering old fool's suggestion that the country's oil is going to be taken back over by American oil companies, which aren't really American, but are international for the most part.
So what actually happened?
Well, if we look at it positively, a really bad guy was replaced by somebody we don't know all that much about, but who shows every sign as being just as much of a socialist as Maduro. Maybe she'll be better simply because she's educated. And perhaps she'll try to take Venezuela out of the drug business, although there are no doubt powerful forces that would resist that.
Maybe that's all we were trying to achieve, but based on the babble, Trump apparently believed that we were actually going to take over the country.
If the Administration was trying to do that, it fell way short of it, or so it would appear, and we're going to have to come up with some cover story for our failure, or we're going to have to outright invade the country.
I don't see that latter thing happening.
Which brings me to this. I don't think there was ever a plan to take over the country. I think the military needed a way out of this expensive endless project and this is what they came up with. Donny was told the results would be that he could install Marco Rubio as Maximilian I of Venezuela. Rubio probably went along with the whole thing as well.
Frenchy would be emperor of Mexico, Ferdinand Maximilian Josef Maria.
So now the project is divert Don while the sailors and soldiers are sent to new projects.
But, a military in the hands of the senile remains pretty dangerous to everyone, including the nation they are supposed to serve.
"Chemtrails" for those who are unfamiliar with this, is a conspiracy theory. As Wikipedia summarizes it:
The chemtrail conspiracy theory /ˈkɛmtreɪl/ is the erroneous belief that long-lasting condensation trails left in the sky by high-flying aircraft are actually "chemtrails" consisting of chemical or biological agents, sprayed for nefarious purposes undisclosed to the general public. Believers in this conspiracy theory say that while normal contrails dissipate relatively quickly, contrails that linger must contain additional substances. Those who subscribe to the theory speculate that the purpose of the chemical release may be solar radiation management, weather modification, psychological manipulation, human population control, biological or chemical warfare, or testing of biological or chemical agents on a population, and that the trails are causing respiratory illnesses and other health problems.
Uff.
The fact that this passed committee suggest that every member of this committee needs to return to kindergarten save for Barry Crago and Karlee Provenza
So who is on it?
Bob Ide
Barry Crago (voted no).
Taft Love
Troy McKeown
Laura Pearson
John Winter
Dalton Banks
Bob Davis
John Eklund
Steve Johnson
Pepper Ottman
Karlee Provenza (voted no).
Mike Schmid
Tomi Strock
Apparently global warming coming up with some blaming that on chemtrails. How ignorant can a person be? It's amazing that they actually will acknowledge that its occuring, and man made, but has to be caused by some bat shit crazy conspiracy theory.
Don't vote for anyone on this list after this, save for Provenza and Crago. You can judge them on their merits otherwise, but they didn't fall for this whacky shit or tolerate it.
Simply amazing, and depressing.

We've dropped the infertility drugs to make lots of Trump babies I'm hoping by the midterms.
Dr. "Oz".
What the crap?
Also, at this event an unidentified man collapsed beside President Donald Trump.
Dr. Oz, did go to help the man, while Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ran away from the scene. The video of Kennedy's hasty departure is impressive.

Esquire, which I don't read, but whose cover I saw declares this to be "The Age of Stupid and openly wonders if the US will survive it. It further declares that the US went from anti-intellectual, to anti-intellect.
That seems pretty correct to me.
The Atlantic has an article entitled Why the Past 10 Years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid, noting "Social media has dissolved the mortar of our society and made America stupid. It's actually from 2022, and compares the US to the Biblical Babel.
So on this topic, I'm not alone.
Trump is spouting stupider and stupider stuff by the day. He insults people throughout every single day.
The country literally can't keep going this way. Stupidity will bring it to ruin, if not the entire globe to ruin.
There is some evidence, albeit not overwhelming, that thinking people have had enough.
Recently I linked in an Ezra Klein episode on Nick Fuentes. It's here:
Well worth listening to, and absolutely frightening.
I'm noting that, as it wasn't until that episode that I appreciated the degree to which the current GOP, and the populist right, is being influenced by incels. Right after that, through synchronicity, it occurred to me recently how many right wing populists are basically misogynistic, racist, losers.
Not all of them by any means. There are many very right wing thinkers out there, and some of them are in the Trump camp.
Not too many of them are really MAGA anymore however.
There are, however, a group that spend all their time hating blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and women, because if all those people, they think, were "in their place", an easy life would be provided to them.
Well, bucko, the world was never like that. Get up, get out, and get a grip.
Trump feeds into these people's sense of worth. They love him, he desires love, and therefore, well . . .therefore.
This was oddly illustrated by this on Twitter, posted by one Richard Cooper, who seems to hate women, but who also, on his Twitter feed, like to demonstrate his hatred for women, by posting pictures of barely clad women.

Well, I don't know what sort of background Cooper has, but in the age of stupid, there are a lot of comments like this out there.
This one, however, actually went viral, as it sparked thousands of degreed women to post their own photos of their graduations with "look at the degree on that chick", including the extremely conservative The Catholic Engineer, whom I follow. I'm a very conservative Catholic, but The Catholic Engineer makes me look like a liberal in comparison. But she's very interesting, very willing to engage in debates, and she also is coincidentally a pretty woman.
Adding this pic to the trend too cause it's cool

She is some sort of aerospace engineer, which is pretty darned high test.
Anyhow, the entire concept that men don't like intelligent women is complete bs. It's long been established that generally people marry somebody of like IQ, save for the super wealthy who have lost their morals and marry bimbos. I'll note here that it would appear that our nation's (illegitimate) leader, who very clearly isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, doesn't appear to have selected all of his "wives" based on intelligence, which doesn't necessarily mean that they're not intelligent. Only Marla Maples seemed to be an exception, but of course I don't know much about any of the lineup. The current occupant of the lineup might be smart, who knows, but given his wealth and her (then fully on display) looks, it seems to be the classic trophy situation.
That's been one of the things that's been so baffling. Trump's not smart, and he behaves like a wealthy playboy, and that's stupid. There's nothing admirable about that at all, and in no prior era would anyone have thought so.
Anyhow, since the introduction of Trump into politics there's been the rise of basement dwelling incels. No, they don't control everything. There's really mad right wing conservatives who were and are upset with moral decay. There's the illiberal democrats of the National Conservative movement, many of whom are real intellectuals (and probably mostly married to really sharp women). There's the Neo Traditionalist who are trying to grope their way back to an imagined Hilaire Belloc golden age that never really existed, but which they wish did and hope might, again. There's the really scary Evangelicals of the New Apostolic Reformation who seek to make the nation a Calvinist republic. All of these are tied up together in a coalition, now seemingly starting to fray, that has been MAGA.
But an undoubted part of that is the Nick Fuentes group of populists. They're angry, they're nasty, they are anti semitic, anti women, and pretty much opposed to anyone who isn't a basement dweller. They believe the women, Indians, Jews, Blacks and, ironically in the case of Fuentes, Hispanics stole from them simply by being here. Educated women, blacks, Jews, and others have taken their jobs and maybe the girls they would have had, they believe, leaving them with no future. They found a voice in people like Fuentes and Tucker Carlson, and even people like true, but radical, intellectuals from the other camps, like Helen Anderson, who imagines that radical feminizatist still exist and are wiping out society, as she's written about here:
It's a short article. It's also incredibly wrong. I've lived through the era in which law went from mostly male to increasingly female, in terms of lawyer demographics, and it really hasn't made one darned bit of difference in the law.
As noted, things seem to be changing a bit. I'm hearing more and more people who ere MAGA adherents suddenly question it. People as MAGA as Marjorie Taylor Green are now openly at war with a mentally failing Donald Trump. A war is going on inside of MAGA about Tucker Carlson's bromance with Fuentes.
And now this. People reacted heavily to the "look at the degrees on that chick" comment, a comment which suggested, basically, that women had value only for their physical and secual attributes.
I actually went in and liked Turner's Twitter feed, as she's an evolutionary biologist, one of my favorite topics. I'm not exactly threatened by a woman having an advanced degree in that topic.
Indeed, looking back, and I now have a lot of back to look at, in my dating days, there was never one single girl I dated that wasn't really sharp. One went on to be a school teacher. Another I lost track of but she was the valedictorian of her high school class. One was working on a masters degree in geophysics and obtained it. Two were law students. And finally there's my wife, who is pretty darned smart.
Indeed, look at the degrees on those chicks.
But consider the stupidity of the nation right now. It's appalling.
We'll close out this edition of this sad trailing thread here.

First it was the screwball chemtrail stupidity, now this:
*I'm using the word Ignoramus in its original English connotation, as derived from the Latin. I.e., an ignorant person.
Not a stupid person.
To willfully believe something stupid is ignorant, particularly when done by intelligent people. Some of these people are undoubtedly highly intelligent, and I don't know that any of them are stupid, but they're willfully voting for something that is just a weird silly conspiracy theory.
