The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is something physically wrong and cognitively wrong with Trump, he knows it, and he's angry and frightened.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

my wife grew up in a cult (JW) and I have lots of traumatic memories from my catholic childhood - the older I get the more convinced I am that forcing religion on developing young minds is child abuse.
A child suffered panic attacks after hearing fire-and-brimstone sermons and being told her dad might go to Hell.
A judge stepped in to stop it.
Now the Maine Supreme Court will have to decide what's more important: religion or a child's mental health?

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
