Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I've been hearing about Trump's deteriorating mental state since the Obama Administration. As far as I'm aware, his brain is just the Shepherd Tone played above the event horizon of a black hole.
Incidentally, I've been hearing about Vladimir Putin's declining mental health. And Xi Jinping's. And Kim Jung Un's. And Nicholas Maduro's. And Mitch McConnell's. And Chuck Schumer's. And Joe Biden's and Hillary Clinton's. And Keir Starmer's. And Manuel Macron's. Elon Musk's. Peter Thiel's. Sam Altman's. Masayoshi Son's. Everyone from MTG to AOC to 34 year old Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani get this treatment from time to time. Really, anyone the corporate media doesn't like on a given day is perhaps hours away from a full aneurysm.
Why do people take these headlines seriously?
Elon Musk Biographer Details Why He Thinks Billionaire Is ‘Going Mad’
It Kind of Seems Like Peter Thiel Is Losing It
Chaos and lies: Why Sam Altman was booted from OpenAI, according to new testimony
(Btw it's "Shepard Tone", after Roger Shepard. Minor detail.)
Hey hey hey..
That doesn't agree with my prior bias!
This is a team sport and this is criticism of the "other" team! Are you not a team player?
No but I am about a month out from subscribing to Trump getting interviennous monthly treatments for Alzheimer's. On the Sam Seder show they out the dots together and have been keeping a calendar. Trump's pretty good and energetic for the first 10-15 days of the treatment, them slides into the second half before he gets his next dose. When they can't get a vein in the forearm, they use the vein on the hand.
There is also the requirement of an MRI before treatment and when treatment is ongoing, and both Trump's ebbs and flows and that weird elective MRI he got about 2 months ago line up with the use of this particular medication.
If you @ me back I could prob dig around and find the clips of the discussion, but I'd over 50/50 on him getting Alzheimer's treatment for amyloid plaques interveinously. It's one specific medication for this exact thing that requires this specific treatment sequence.
Here, found the clip: https://youtu.be/1sVPDDtNmBg
Three MRI in three months, cycles of mood and energy levels on approximately 1 month cycles, consistent with monthly treatments for amyloid plaques, MRIs to monitor progress.
Yes don't tell these billionaires they lost their marbles how dare you.
