  1. Typical exaggeration. And you might want to look up "Broca's area". Unless, of course, you want to claim neurology in addition to gerontology as an area of your expertise.
  2. You would think that in the wake of this election, Trump supporters might cease and desist from making predictions. This election ought to have been an educational experience. For some, apparently not.
  3. Really? That's why Oz and others were piling onto him because of his stroke? The unfavorable reports on the his performance in the debate helped him? Kidding yourself much?
  4. I guess that, at the least, they were thinking that Trump's choice was worse. Thank you, Donald Trump.
  5. Well, even if that was a good point, for 4 years he wasn't. And he frequently and publicly abused members of his own cabinet, among many, many others. And I don't think someone who speaks publicly at frequent partisan rallies and is strongly hinting at another run for President is exactly a private citizen. He's a public figure and chooses to continue to be one. It's one thing to speak in private, quite another to speak in public in front of crowds. In fact, the Supreme Court recognized that differences in libel and slander standards when it ruled in the Sullivan case that public figures have a much higher bar to prove slander or libel than does a standard issue private citizen.
  6. It looks like Trumpism gone wild in the aftermath of the Pennsylvania elections. Mastroiano has refused to concede despite Shapiro's big margin of victory. But what's truly bizarre is that at 9:30 in the morning Pennsylvania time, Mehmet Oz called Jon Fetterman and asked him to concede. Are we seeing a particularly crazed example of denialism? https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3727173-oz-calls-fetterman-to-concede/
  7. Actually not. Unless you think calling him Trump and not Donald Trump is somehow abusive.
  8. You're puzzled because for whatever reason you are only looking at one variable. A strong dollar makes the purchasing power of the dollar higher than it otherwise would be.
  9. Please, share with me the terms of abuse I've directed at Trump.
  10. Do I really have to explain the point to you? Okay. Here it goes. It's one thing for a private citizen to engage in name calling (if, in fact, heybruce has done that). It's quite another for a political leader to engage in that activity. Especially when he does it on a regular and monotonous basis.
  11. You've made a good point. It's time for President heybruce to cease and desist from name calling.
  12. Something tells me that lots gets done and connections are made via informal and chance meetings. And by the way, the COP 26 meeting was held in glamorous Glasgow.
  13. If you were counting on a career as a political prognisticator, I would think twice about that.
  14. That actually very elementary economics. If the dollar is worth more, goods become cheaper to import. So that is a factor that holds prices down.
  15. 30,000 people will be in attendance. Is there a Meta version of COP 27?
  16. Given the dysfunction with the White House Staff, it's clear that Trump does not know how to work well with others. Abusing cabinet members publicly gives a pretty solid indication that the collegiality demanded in a Parliamentary system is not something he's capable of.
  17. Yet you claim to know what they are. How did you manage that? Telepathy?
  18. Cherry picking is not how dementia is diagnosed. The symptoms of dementia are not what you think they are.
  19. His predecessor would never have been made PM.
  20. Can you share with us your qualifications as a gerontologist that qualify you to make such a judgement?
