People accused Biden of having dementia/cognitive declineΒ βΒ the problem is that Trump is ALSO experiencing this, it's just that he does it in a way that involves pounding his chest like a baboon and doing stupid things.
09.04.2025 15:22 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Excerpt from an NYTimes article written by Ron Suskind, published Oct. 17, 2004 In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn't like about Bush's former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House's displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn't fully comprehend -- but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency. The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
Every American policy decision makes much more sense once you realise that you are a member of the "reality-based community", and the political leadership is not.

22.02.2025 01:42 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Voters seem to lack object permanence: this is why they don't believe the "woke" experts when they say putting your hand in a big pot of boiling water is a bad idea until they get burned. Seeing is, as they say, believing.
