I See Dumb People

Pretty sure the last time I heard that line, it was 1970. Sarcasm? Or schoolyard sophistry?
Vance: Vivek has spent his entire life building things and that's what I think Vivek should be proudest of in this campaign, and that's what the Democrats will not stop lying about. They will not stop lying about here is a man who has built his life building life saving medicines and also technology and nuclear energy.
Prolonged proximity to Trump is bad for your mental health. Is adding “-ization” to words a dementia related thing? Seriously, is it?
Certainly not since Nixon. So, the accusation is true? Meanwhile... Trump’s record is skipping. Again. All in the same press conference. Last night: Today’s event started like this: Then: Ending full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

    "Is adding “-ization” to words a dementia related thing? Seriously, is it?"

    it appears so. paraphasia and perseveration, inventing words/neologisms, etc, all of a piece. my late wife had what was characterized as early onset dementia, and she did that shit a lot as her cognition deteriorated (along with emotional dysregulation, which is why trump triggers me something fierce).

    Thanks, I thought it might be something like that. And my condolences. I had a few church members decline from Alzheimer’s or some type of dementia, and lost my sister-in-law to it. Not Alzheimer’s, although it was organic in nature. But she lost her ability to speak, slowly but surely. And emotional issues, hallucinations especially. It is very hard to deal with, even from a remove. But harder still when it is so personal.
