BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! A prominent psychologist reveals that Trump appears to have had a partial seizure in the middle of a speech — and it's crickets from the mainstream media! This should be front page news... “For the past few months, I have been showing various neurological concerns and some steep signs of decline from President Trump, but what we're going to start with today is extremely concerning,” said John Paul Garrison, a respected clinical and forensic psychologist. He was referring to footage of Trump's speech at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas last Friday during which the President seemed incapable of controlling strange twitches and body spasms in addition to struggling to find the right words. “What you just observed was a distinct and concerning neurological event, and you got to watch it cross both hemispheres in his brain. I'll explain what I mean,” Garrison said. “You saw his right arm jerk, and then you saw him blink, you heard his voice hesitate, and then you saw his left arm jerk," he continued. "You literally watched it travel across his brain. To be very clear, these were not simple muscle spasms; this is not something related to pain. You don't see any pain on his face. You actually watch it travel from one arm, to his eyes, to his voice, to his left arm.” Drilling down into specifics, Garrison speculated that Trump may have suffered from what's called a "focal aware seizure" which is a briefer, less severe form of seizure. “Now, what this is very consistent with is something that we see in people that have had strokes called a focal aware seizure or a focal motor seizure, and this can be focused in one part in the brain, and occasionally, it can spread to both parts of the brain,” explained Garrison. “I'm not insisting that's what's going on with him, but it is clearly something neurological, whether it's post-stroke or something else," he added. Garrison also said that Trump's pathetic attempt to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America" is likely related to the "neurological problems" he's experiencing. "Something that we see in general with people that are having neurological issues, whether it's dementia, sometimes in post-stroke behavior, the ability to make decisions, the ability to use good judgment, sometimes that goes away," said Garrison. "The idea that Trump is trying to create a hostile relationship with Canada is unbelievable and I do think that's all related to the inability to think through these situations in a coherent way," he added. Clearly, Trump is suffering from some kind of neurological issue. This possible seizure is just the latest in a long string of bizarre incidents. He regularly gets confused while speaking, falls asleep during high-profile Oval Office meetings, and is increasingly acting erratically, even by his insane standards. He often brags about passing cognitive tests, but the only reason that they'd be administered so often is if doctors were concerned. What do you thinks going on with Trump's brain? Please ❤️ and share if you support invoking the 25th Amendment!

Which is greater: Bill Maher’s arrogance or his willful stupidity? Tossup.

I had 3-4 weeks off Twitter with autistic burnout recently & my engagement is right down (also due to standing up to a vile group of trolls on here-they reported me lots, restricting my reach). If you see this photo it would be so ace if you could RT it or drop me a quick hello if you have a moment, both of which help an account get back on track. I also hope these little violas ping some floral dopamine in your meat computer & give you a small lift 🌿

Trump’s extended posting spree yesterday suggests that he’s literally *psychotic.* But the press is too terrified or timid to report that. Some professional journalists with laptops and cameras need to start doing the job of reporting on the disintegrating mental health of the man with control of the planet’s second-largest arsenal of nuclear weapons. It should be the most important news story in the world today.

Trump posted to Truth Social over 55 times in three hours last night. His posts included nonsensical AI slop, unhinged conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, and rants that his political enemies committed treason. Has he completely lost his mind?

Albert Roussel, composer of this beautiful & rarely performed mélodie. Here performed by Elly Ameling and Rudolf Jansen share.google/86ayqwMfacCmOD6…
A still under-appreciated figure, the outstanding French composer Albert Roussel — whose output included three operas, all very different to each other — was born in Tourcoing #OTD in 1869.

“He is not mentally okay.” @HC_Richardson makes sense of Trump’s senseless management of the country. #theweeklyshow #jonstewart #politics

If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak. He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected. France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy. Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust. Honestly? Understandable. Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.
