Harris should call him on this and they should give both candidates true neutral party administered neurological and psychological evaluations and air it on TV.

Ummmmmm.
That might not be such a good idea. I have little doubt she has considerable psychological issues of her own.

What psychological issues do you feel that a 60 year old former prosecutor has? Not being an expert on everything isn't a psychological issue. It's just being a normal person. CLAIMING you are an expert on everything is.

Is there some sort of psychosis involved in smiling and laughing? No. Good grief. This is why people razz you for corny bothsiderism. That's ridiculous.

You're a wise man. I'm a bit surprised by your response.
I am going to start my response by answering your first question with a question.
Do you feel there are no 60 year olds, nor former prosecutors, who have psychological issues?
I am not a medical expert. I can only guess what psychological issues she MIGHT have. I have my theories.

YOU came up with - "Not being an expert on everything isn't a psychological issue". I am in complete agreement with you. I never said/claimed, nor implied, her not being an expert on everything is a psychological issue.

YOU came up with - "Is there some sort of psychosis involved in smiling and laughing?"
Again, I am in complete agreement with you. Well, sort of. People who laugh "uncontrollably", or at things that aren't funny, or in manners that are bizarre - MIGHT have a psychological issue. I'm not necessarily saying that is what Harris does but other people definitely do.
I had a girl friend who would laugh as a defense mechanism when she was nervous and/or uncomfortable. Yes, it was a diagnosed "psychological issue".

I also am in complete agreement with you that a person claiming they are an expert on everything is - a psychological issue.

All that being said, many (most?) people have psychological issues. I feel there shouldn't be shame associated with most of them.
My point was that something MIGHT/COULD come out about Harris that people would find fault with. Not necessarily me, but I have no doubt other people would.

Sorry you felt my post was "corny bothsiderism" and "ridiculous". I didn't feel that way. But I have psychological issues, so maybe it was and I wasn't self aware? It's entirely possible.

‘Outrageous abuse of power’: Trump spurned disaster pleas amid feud with governor

Bone Spur draft dodging confidence man. Cheats the middle class contractors. Doesn't pay overtime. Does not give a shit about the country or the people who follow him--who he derides and laughs at.

Oddly…the savior to those he despises.

Allowing Rudy, "America's Mayor", Giuliani to speak at your MSG Nazi rally show's just how putrid Trump and his supporters are. I mean really, Rudy Giuliani? WTAF? A confirmed liar who slandered two innocent Black women and ruined their lives? Where's your fucking humanity, Republicans?

Answer: You're in a cult, so you don't give a damn that Trump is making fools out of you, the very people he loathes. For evidence, see the morning shows today where "Little Marco" and Lindsay Graham, both of whom he has humiliated regularly, were doing the rounds, essentially calling American generals liars for calling out Trump and his fascism. What profiles in courage they are. John McCain is rolling over in his grave Lindsay, you pussy.

Do us all a favor and quit being such easily fooled dupes, Republicans.

I’m not saying that Harris is going to run away with the vote. But this Trump rally is what a Trump rally would look like, if held by a Trump campaign that expected Harris to run away with the vote.

Count on it.

My concern is he doesn't lose. If he does, then yeah, I will absolutely count on it.
Like you and I both know, the plan is in place for it to happen.

They have it set up, for sure.

They want to force Biden to use forces on US citizens. Burn it to the ground, build it back the way the Randy’s and Psych’s want it to be.

Look to the constitution and protect it always in times of civil unrest. Your life and freedom depend on it.

This piece does a very good job connecting the dots (in a specific case) in a way that demonstrates the breadth of the power grab that is underway.

Keeping the Authoritarianism Quiet

https://www.thebulwark.com/p/a-hatefest-at-the-garden

Over the last week, two billionaire newspaper owners—Jeff Bezos and Patrick Soon-Shiong—have overruled their editorial boards to squelch endorsements of Kamala Harris. Bezos’s decision came just hours before executives at his aerospace company Blue Origin met privately with Trump himself.

Meanwhile, a clutch of top plutocrats were huddling beachside at the Waldorf Astoria in Dana Point, California, wringing their hands over “how to protect themselves and their companies if Trump wins the presidency,” the Washington Post reports.

Team Trump’s message to these titans of industry: You’re right to worry. “I’ve told CEOs to engage as fast as possible, because the clock is ticking,” a Trump adviser told the Post. “If you’re somebody who has endorsed Harris, and we’ve never heard from you at any point until after the election, you’ve got an uphill battle.”

Over the weekend, JVL wrote two bangers capturing this dynamic of elite pre-surrender to Trump, describing how his open promises of lawless rule have led us to this moment. But I want to stress a different point.

What’s alarming isn’t just the prospect that Trump will brazenly violate the law to punish companies he’s decided are his enemies. It’s that he may not even have to. Trump’s proposed mega-tariff economic agenda will give him all the arm-twisting authority he needs to bring America’s moguls to heel.

When we’ve critiqued Trump’s plan to make the federal government run on tariffs in the past, we’ve mostly focused on his cockamamie economic thinking.1 But a massive across-the-board increase of federal tariffs would also mean a massive increase in the president’s discretionary control over various parts of the economy through the distribution of waivers and exclusions.

Trump habitually waves away arguments that his tariffs could damage U.S. companies by pointing to the president’s ability to grant carveouts. “I gave Apple an exception. Tim Cook is a great businessman,” he said at the Economic Club of Chicago earlier this month. “I did it for many companies . . . we do it for small businesses too.”

To punish Harris-backing CEOs, all Trump has to do is hurt their companies with onerous new trade policies, then decline to pick up the phone when they petition for relief.

And just to remind you: A re-elected Trump would likely be able to put his tariff agenda in place without a single additional word of federal legislation.2

Trump might forgo the scalpel for the hatchet, of course, choosing to go after his corporate foes in a more explosive, less legally defensible way. But what I’m trying to suggest is that even explicit economic retribution for political activity Trump dislikes might not look like open authoritarianism. The country may well continue its slide into quasi-dictatorship in much the same style as it has so far: with a whole ecosystem of Trump abetters rolling their eyes and scolding you for making such a fuss, even as it happens.

It should go without saying, but: this isn’t MICH’s Republican Party. This isn’t small government, light-touch stuff. This is BIG government, HEAVY-touch stuff.

Openly selling political favor in exchange for political support. And vice versa.

Good, I trust that they will eventually have to prove their case and will once again come up short since they will once again have zero valid proof just like after the 2020 election.

Trump's continuous dissociative raging kind of seals the dementia thesis.
