Honestly it's a little how my mom talks when she gets upset. Just a stream of things that are loosely connected but are all bobbing along on the same river of emotion.

It's how I get stuff like "You never call me you call your cousin he's cheating on his wife you know just because you broke up with your girlfriend doesn't mean you have to take it out on me". You can kind of see how there's a shared feeling or theme there but it's not articulated.

I'm going to guess that for someone who produces output like that, input of that type goes in easily. They're just vibing on the emotions.

    It's one thing all the parodies like SNL miss. Every mockery of him makes more sense than his babble, because you need things to make some sense to be funny for more than 90 seconds.

    "Covfefe" gives you what, two seconds of a joke? When you work it into something, that something ends up more coherent than actual Trump.

    "This is the guy I want to represent my interests in international negotiations."

    "Joe Biden is the incoherent one."

    Biden is too old, and I wish we would have ran someone else to aim for 12 years. His administration has done a pretty decent job with what they've been given to work with. Honestly, we need to give them enough margin to be able to legislate without enormous concessions.

    But when the alternative is gestures wildly that, this really shouldn't be an open question.

    An internal combustion engine came up to me, big strong internal combustion engine, tears in his eyes, and said "Sir, I want to thank for all you've done for this country, from the bottom of my spark plugs."

    They do believe the car thing. A relative of a friend told me she didn't want Biden to take away her Honda CRV because she liked it so much. She seemed to think it was a nearly done deal, Biden's coming to reclaim all fossil-fueled powered vehicles and make everyone buy electric cars. I didn't ask for details.

    Of course, the Republicans are standing strong against this atrocity.

    So this is the new "Obama's gonna take all your guns!!1!" trope.

    Which of course he didn't. Either of the times the GOP leaders said he would. And they knew it. It was just to create hysteria among their base.

    Yep, though the gun manufacturers, via the NRA, probably drive that one. They LOVE it when a Democrat is in office because they can say that and watch gun sales rise.

    I'm convinced they also love shootings, or at least did, for similar reasons - I'm sure, for a while, gun owners worried this latest shooting might be the one that generates new restrictions on gun purchases, so out they went to buy. At this point I don't think they have anything to worry about; we as a country seem to have decided mass shootings are Just Great, so that little fear probably doesn't work as well any more.

    Let's never forget the NRA's solution to school shootings, after Newtown, was literally, "More guns in schools."

    A friendly reminder that half of all Americans have the literacy skill of a 12 year old or younger.

    We should be precise. 7th grade reading skill is roughly where uou should be at 12 years old. A 7th grade reading level is literate, able to read and understand most words, and able to derive meaning.

    Adult illiteracy is nothing to be ashamed of. More adults should seek help with their literacy skills, and people should not be made to feel stupid just because the educational and social support systems failed them in one way or another.

    Celebrating ignorance is the real problem. Trump is not just illiterate, he's incoherent. His statements are gibberish, and his followers revel in the confusion and consternation he evokes in others.

    All the talk about Biden being mentally unifit coming out of the Trump camp has to be pure projection. Trump is what, only 4 years younger? He's had some gaffes just as bad imo

    They're both mentally unfit IMHO. One is a bit demented, the other is lucky that his dementia happens to help cover a pile of seething shit.

    Elon Musk is just sitting there listening to this word salad, clenching his asshole as tight as he can, realizing he decided to gang up with the assholes who hate electric cars.

    Clearly somehow some people don’t hear it as ramblings, but as someone who speaks like them and should be president again.
