Bagram is an airbase in Afghanistan, has little to do with the energy industry and the US state of Alaska is about 5,602 miles (9,015 km) from Afghanistan.

If he meant the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), he’s also wrong since it is estimated to have less than 12 billion barrels of oil while Saudi Arabia has proven reserves of 267 billion barrels.

He should be nowhere near any decisions made about military or energy; he apparently doesn’t have the ability to know what they are.

All this talk from Republicans about Kamala's supposedly unbearable laugh is really getting to me; it feels like a reminder of just how rampant a certain kind of ableism is. (I'm using a very loose definition of "ableism" here, but one I feel I can defend as meaningful).

Actually, this election cycle it's been more than just the discourse on Harris's laugh: there was an awful lot of equating Biden's inability to speak smoothly (struggling on a level that I sometimes have, on "bad teaching days", and I'd consider myself to be a more articulate person than average) with a senility advanced enough that he wouldn't be able to perform presidential duties in general. And now I'm starting to hear stuff about the Harris campaign adopting a talking point of saying that the Trump team is "weird", whatever that means -- I haven't looked into exactly what they're saying, but it seems slightly juvenile and plays into the general theme this time around of "hey let's (further) normalize treating someone's unusual trait as mock-worthy".

Trump was ludicrous even well before he hit retirement age. Those gallons of DietCoke® he guzzles every day act as a hallucinogen which accentuates his bizarre ramblings about sharks, batteries, bird cemeteries, and "the late, great Hannibal Lecter".

I think that we need to limit how old a person can be and be the president of the United States 🇺🇸 Joe Biden was too old, and we saw what happened to him during his term. I'm old so I can say this without feeling badly for doing so. I know from whence I speak. We make people retire at 65, but we allow people in their late 70s to be president. If they are too old to be a worker or run a company, how can we expect them to give an optimal performance as the President? It's the most stressful job in the world and it ages people faster because of the enormous pressure on them. We need younger people with new ideas and approaches to domestic and world problems. The old way of thinking isn't working very well. Have you noticed? Let's get some new perspectives and people who are young enough to employ those new ideas and who have the energy to do the job of president correctly. I really don't want another president to fall asleep in meetings or have no idea what's going on, do you?

Beyond Lies

Aloha kākou. Pedo-Hitler Biden’s Economic Bloodbath continues to wreck the economy as thousands of businesses shutter around the nation. Pedo-Joe Biden’s regime has deepened an economic strain across major retail sectors leading to a retail economic bloodbath. Major retailers, including Macy’s, Walgreens, CVS, Family Dollar, Walmart, and 7-Eleven, have announced closures. A staggering 2,599 store…

Whether ignorant or lying, 45 does not have the grasp of reality needed to be an effective president.

Trump falsely claims Georgia Governor Kemp had difficulty reaching President Biden while Kemp discusses the conversation he had directly with Biden.

Being this out of touch with the world, especially in a crisis, is one of the ways trump is not ready to be president.

Challenge #04025-K007: A Kinder Poison

A very elderly magic user has gotten a bit senile. Their grandchild begs Wraithvine to limit how much magic the elder can use so they're no longer a danger to themselves or others. -- Anon Guest

It's never nice to see a loved one fall to pieces. Watching Odasorin the Wonderous become lost in time and thereafter coming apart had not been something Aqirax had been willing to acknowledge until it got dangerous. After all, he loved his grandren[1]. And in cases of love, even the painfully obvious can be ignored.

"It's over," said Aqirax, having fired off another counterspell against Odasorin. "We won. They're gone. See?"

There was no army outside hir windows. There were no forces gathering outside hir tower. There hadn't been any armies threatening Odasorin since ze had turned seventy-five. Alas, hir anger at otherwise ordinary mistakes sparked memories of old threats.

Donald Trump doesn't know the difference between Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi.

Quick, call the dementia wagon! 🚐

Perhaps Trump could use galloping senility to his advantage to prove he's unfit to stand trial on those 91 counts. 🤔

Trump drinks 12 cans of Diet Coke® per day. That could be camouflaging his decline.

President Trump Reportedly Drinks 12 Diet Cokes a Day. Here’s What That Does to Your Body

The FDA recommends that healthy adults consume no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine per day. 12 Diet Cokes contain 552 milligrams.

The FDA lists these symptoms of over-consumption of caffeine:

People may see Trump's incoherent rants and conclude that he isn't demented because he's so animated. But all that flailing and blustering could be the result of excessive caffeine rather than personal energy.
