This is a fantastic tweet. I mean I realize that he himself is too stupid to realize it, but this is basically "Mr. Greatest Negotiator Ever" admitting to getting conned. You know, if it were true.

". . . he starts signing them like they're, uh, butter."

WTF?

 

What?  Are you telling us you don't sign your butter?

There's space on the other side of the mountain. Maybe not this much space, but space.

even if you’re a trump supporter, his noticeable decline from ~4 years ago is fucking startling. 

Just commented that to my husband. He still looks like an overweight piece of shit then, but he has declined even further both mentally and physically. Just listening to him speak then, he speaks faster and is more coherentish (sign them like butter?) Listening to him now really makes him sound like something just ain’t right.

Yes, but in contrast and to the best of my memory, I cannot recall seeing a semi-serious thread here regarding taking away women's suffrage.

He was talking the same, still spewing the same bullshit. But yeah, he has aged between then and now. And he might be taking more drugs. 

I'm inclined to believe the speculation that he suffered a mini-stroke back in November or whenever that Phase One of his physical occurred.

mini-stroke is one of the dumbest phrases adopted by the general population.

Why do you think it's a dumb phrase? Is there a more appropriate one? I'm not knowledgeable about strokes in general, cancer is what kills my family.

Maybe He wants us to use TIA?

Trump’s Incompetent Administration?

but yeah seriously, a lot of Speech_Language Pathologists I know who are Trump leaners think he had one (or more) 1-2 years ago, a TIA...not a stroke

So Trump is considering giving his acceptance speech at Gettysburg?  The site which marked the beginning of the end for most of the things his supporters believe in.  Not to mention the largest three day loss of life on US soil until his handling of the coronavirus. 
 

That’s a bold strategy cotton let’s see if it pays off

What would happen if the players were able to play but they all decided to kneel during the National Anthem? Could his Twitter account handle that?

Ok, I'm not very informed in that regard.

It's a transient ischmic attack and don't worry, plenty of doctors call it a mini-stroke to laypeople.

Didn't think Trump would come out pro-union for the players...interesting

(yes we all know he's too stupid to read the actual print and see it calls for forming a players association)

That it is. Great follow on Twitter. Turned his life around after getting hooked on opiates.

So it's got to be a near-lock that if he gave it at Gettysburg that he'd do it in front of Lee's statue. No way in hell he gives it anywhere on the side of the battlefield that represented the army that won the battle and the war. There are way too many monuments on that side dedicated to separate battalions and divisions that represented New York in that momentous and history-changing battle for him to even consider stepping foot over there.

Transient Ischemic Attack - the name is very appropriate and gives you the exact mechanism. Mini-stroke suggests you have ischemic damage, you don't.

It's a term overused by ER and Family docs in situations they cannot explain when the MRI is without any abnormal findings.

I still think it’s the drugs.  You have a speed habit, like he obviously does, your processing loses it’s fluidity.  Your brain starts working in jumpy sparks and disconnected thoughts.

Thanks to you and others for the explanation, esp about the mechanism. I learned something today and that's a good start to the week.

Yes. It's a weird world we live in. A basketball player and the voice of Steakumms are two of the most coherent voices in the din of Twitterville

Liberate College Football would have been way cooler.  

SNAP INTO A SLIMJIM!

Trump is naturally attracted to business models facing imminent widespread bankruptcies. 

As much as it pains me to say it, Trump yelling that we should play college football means that the season probably needs to be cancelled.

legislatures around the country should rush out a bill that says "if you do this minimum level of social distancing and whatnot with your football, you're free of liability from sicknesses from it."  i don't really think that football (without fans) will result in more COVID19, but the liability issue is just off the charts, so no one can chose to do it.

Why do you think that's a good idea? Why should universities be free of liability when information is available and coming out regarding long-term heart complications, etc. from the disease? 

Genuinely curious why you think it's a good idea that universities, administrators, coaches, and others should be allowed to make money with zero risk. Is it just so we can watch football games?

because the marginal risk to a football player seems very low to me, or maybe even better if they play football.  I don't think the off field social distancing by the average player would be better than a lockerroom that is sanitized all the time by the sorts of staff D1 programs are able to roll out.  

but the lawsuit risk is way too high because invariably some would get sick. in short (and in morbid terms): there are going to be deaths this fall of some D1 players.  I'm not all that sure that there will be more while playing football. there might be less.

I really don't think you've thought this through. Like at all.

So if players get a known infectious disease that kills them, then there should be zero liability for the money makers because you think that they might have gotten it somewhere else, also? And you think that college football should be played this fall despite professing the belief that there will be deaths. You want them to play even though some of them will die. Honest question, what's wrong with you?

If the players are not playing then their safety is their responsibility. They are in control of their behavior and their environment. If some of them were to die it would be tragic. But we don't need to upend the entire concept of liability just so you can watch football. If you were actually concerned with their safety and truly believed that the campus bubble would keep them safer, then what you'd be proposing would be for them to stay on campus and in that bubble but not play any games. Games involve additional staff, travel, unknown third party contacts, etc.
