Is he thinking clearly?

One doctors recommendation, without any actual examination. The President has a team of doctors and advisors around him. People he listens to, in contrast to the incoming version. They report no concern. If a concern was reported to Trump whoever did so would just be fired.

Of course there are drug dealers, they're everywhere but that's not the point. When there are a few hundred more with far more ruthless tactics looking to take over there will be a big change.

Should anything like that happen then I would anticipate our Police dealing with it. I have no more tolerance for lawless behaviour than anyone, wherever it happens, by whoever is involved. So if there’s an issue get it sorted.

They didn't deal with it anywhere else in the country but there's always a first time.

😳

Good Grief, you’re surpassing yourself tonight Wisbech!

So to add to your other “qualifications” you are the first person in history able to make a medical diagnosis based on edited video evidence?

There’s a place in Trump’s cabinet for you. He needs people able to come to those kind of conclusions.

One doctor who happens to be a neurologist but others have also voiced concern.
Weren't there also assurances that Reagan was fine?

And once again. Kamala had her work cut out losing to him but she rose to the challenge.

The analysis will take time to crystallise, even if some early hypothesises are emerging.

The only thing that, in my opinion, is certain is that it was an unwise result that will harm both the USA and the rest of the western world.

It’s done. We can analyse to learn the lessons but the primary task is now to mitigate the impact.

One lesson should be to have a candidate with some policies and credentials other than just not being someone else.

There were several hundred neurologists during Trump’s first term who wrote an open letter expressing concern about him but who were reprimanded by their registration body because no diagnosis should be made remotely.

I don’t recall anything regarding Reagan other than after he left office.

Not necessary. There was this time. That was just a Trump slur that worked. Not just in the USA apparently.

The fact that Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's after he left office is the whole point.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

That’s a lot of words just to admit you were wrong 🥴

As I already had done there was no need to do so again. So it’s you who are wrong.

It was an attempt to explain the difference between a prediction and a hypothesis and to consider why the hypothesis needed revision. As they often do when new evidence emerges.

An attempt that was always likely to fall on stony ground.

Sure. That must be the reason Biden was so eager to step down.

Nancy Pelosi says Biden’s delay in exiting race blew Democrats’ chances

Had Biden left sooner, she noted, the party could have an open primary. Now they must ‘live with what happened’

I don’t know how much experience you have with Alzheimers but both my father had it and my first wife now suffers from it.

My father’s came on very quickly. My ex wife’s has taken a decade to reach its peak. A friend’s wife was perfectly well 12 months ago, but in a care home today.

So Reagan being diagnosed after leaving office does not mean he was suffering whilst in office.

I agree with her. It could have made the difference, but we will never know.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

Didn’t he show respect by pleading guilty? Pity the racist Labour Councillor ( who still hasn’t appeared in court) didn’t follow suit.
Still glad you have moved on as you said you would 😂

Respect? No.

A desire to get the reduction in time that accompanies a guilty plea, yes.

What others do is irrelevant.

I am moving on. No point in fighting lost battles. There is a war to be won.

His son claimed he was in the early stages during his presidency but I suppose we're unlikely to find out now
Sorry those close to you have had this experience. It's a horrible and frightening situation.

I saw this notion being toted around for a while before the election. Narrative goes that Biden, by way of revenge for the coup against him, openly came out for Harris by way of screwing the Democrat Party as they could not then refute her. The people behind pushing Biden out never really wanted her to be the candidate.

Along with other claims around Biden deliberately looking to undermine her success from the whole MAGA hat incident, to his calling Trump supporters 'Garbage' and even his wife wearing a bright red dress when they went to cast their votes.

There is definitely some credibility to this especially now the spin is all about blaming Biden.

 

[eaglesdare]

What an absolute feeling of relief the last few days have been.

It just can't be underestimated how much a fork in the road trump winning is. The world already seems a brighter place.

Strange how we have to wait till January till he officially takes over. Seems he is already taking the lead now with other world leaders falling in line.

In UK Sunak was out of downing Street the morning after the election results.

I've just got back from the States and saw the Democrat meltdown first hand. On their news channels they were very quick to start pointing the finger of blame at anyone and everyone from Biden to the electorate (of course) but only a couple of their commentators appeared to have "got" what had happened. The panel was open mouthed when a young female panellist, when asked what she thought the Democrats needed to do to earn back their lost votes, simply answered "Drop Progressivism".

Something I found really interesting though was that they seemed to agree that the bussing of migrants to Democrat led areas that had no real experience of what those near the border were living with was a game changer as it suddenly brought the problem, literally, to their doorstep. It appears they didn't know how to handle it and it very quickly became a problem shared.

Wouldn't it be a good strategy to follow here? Imagine the response in places like, say, Cornwall, or Brighton and Hove.

Well Starmer has planned operation scatter so…

Adult and Trump are not words that belong together.

Nor is the idea that he has a brilliant team. Trump doesn’t do team play. He has sycophants who depend on him for their survival. Disagree, you get fired.

He is a baby, who has grown old but never grown up or discovered the wisdom of age.

Bringing in someone like the nutcase Kennedy is evidence of his terribly poor judgement. We will see Alex Jones or David Icke next!

Mr Icke is no fan of Trump but that doesn't mean he would've voted for Harris!
