> To be fair, you don't know for sure he had it back then (or even now), either. Not unless you're a certified mental health professional who has had enough sessions with him to make that call.

Apparently not, because I knew for sure he had it, and was right. In fact I have a 100% accurate track record in identifying people with dementia. So the idea that I would need to be a doctor and have many sessions with him to know for sure clearly isnt true since I have shown a near perfect accuracy in the past.

Dementia is easy to diagnose. What isnt easy to diagnose (and what i made no attempt to do) is what kind of dementia he has. In retrospec we can speculate even on that given the rapid onset (its likely lewy-body), but yea the specific form would need some tests. But to just say he has dementia, that is pretty trivial and not a hard call to make, like at all.

@louis

I'm less concerned with that and more concerned with people denied the existance of dementia at all, claiming he simply wasnt demented.

@trinsec

@trinsec

Yes this would have been 4 years ago. You argued he didnt appear to have dementia, I claimed he did. While he may have been more functional you must admit you were incorrect in your assesment he didnt have dementia.

My argument was not that his dementia at the time made him unfit but it was rapidly progressing and thus unfit for a 4 year term, which was true, and at the time you defended against.

Trump shows signs of stupidity, but no he doesnt show signs of dementia of anykind, just plain old idiocy.

@louis

Oh well nothing too bad about just disagreeing and being wrong. But even so sounds like a good opportunity to reflect and consider what other blind spots you may have, since that was a pretty big one IMO.

Are you saying back then you would have admitted he had dementia but just that his dementia was mild enough you voted for him anyway? Because thats a very different argument then disagreeing with people who claimed he had dementia at all.

@louis

@trinsec Werent you one of the ones who were pretty adamant about him not having dementia. I mean you didnt block and were always polite about it. But I do remember you arguing pretty strongly you didnt see any signs of dementia no?

I'm curious now that the party itself has dropped him due to it, have you changed your mind?

@louis

And yet, I had no trouble seeing the obvious dementia in 2020 and was clearly correct. The only difference is the dementia progressed to the point that it got worse and at a certain point no amount of denial will get you through it.

But the fact is, reflect on that. Clearly people were screaming he had dementia, the fact that you didnt think he did and it turned out he did suggests perhaps you were blinded to the truth and couldnt see what was obvious to everyone else.

The real takeaway here is if you couldnt even tell a person with severe rapid onset dementia has a problem, what other issues are you unable to see due to biases? Perhaps you should rethink how harshly you criticize someones opinion of your candidate as well if you were blocking people who said that.

Remember that time we elected a president with rapidly progressing dementia and all the democrats would block you or call you a Nazi and disagree with you when you pointed it out. Then his own party dropped him for having dementia....

Good times, good times.

One day Robert Reich will get something right... one day... today is not that day.

@freeschool We plan on reactivating that after the next update which looks like is a day or two away. it would really slow down the upgrade otherwise.

@kilroy_was_here In america we light fireworks by shooting guns at them. No need to guess :)

@realcaseyrollins They as a group cant, a cell or collection of cells can.

For example during the attack initially, one cell came up with the idea and then spread it to the other cells. The cells that wanted to contribute joined in, the cells that objected didnt. Then they attack. But did the organization dictate it, or was it just an organic process of agreement of some people?

So how would that look for a surrender, if asked to surrender and 10 out of 100 cells agree to surrender, does that count as a surrender inthe same way that 10 out of 100 cells attacking count as an attack?

@realcaseyrollins How can a decentralized cell-based terrorist organization ever surrender? Cells are formed and operated independent from eachother. No one commands them.

@realcaseyrollins I mean they have bee n damn nnear whiped out. They couldnt attack even if they wanted to... The war really did turn into a genocide. The death toll has been astronomical.

@realcaseyrollins Its not about who initiated the offensive at all. Its about who is willing to honor the Truce. Ukraine is willing to honor the truce. In fact since they refuse to attack into russia itself they are in compliance by default. Russia is unwilling to honor the truce, so they are in violation. Russia being the aggressor prior to the truce is irrelevant.

Likewise, the attack from palestine into israel was before the truce period. During the truce period palestine hasnt been attacking israel, only attacking within their own borders. So Israelis the only one in violation, this again is underlated to who was the initial agressor.

@realcaseyrollins Because they are purely defensive and willing to engage in a truce.

@realcaseyrollins The olympic Truce is a principle of the olympics that all participants must agree to a war truce on all offenses during the period of the olympics and atleast 1 week following. This Truce isnt just a principle, it was passed as a resolution of the UN itself specifically for the purpose of the Olympics.

Any country committing war offenses during the period shall be banned from the Olympics.

Russia is banned from the Olympics this year because they are attacking Ukraine and therefore have been banned.

@realcaseyrollins

Moreover, because theIsrali violated the "olympic truce" but palestine has not, technically Israel should be banned entirely and Palestine should be allowed (their offensive was not during the truce period).

@realcaseyrollins What, Palestine is recognized as a country by over 75% of the UN, **not** a territory... Why are you asserting something as absolute fact when it is in fact entirely arbitrary and decided by each country AND the exact opposite of your assertion is the overwhelming majority of the opinion?

@ambulocetus @medley56

Im sure it is, just too many trolls for too longnso now he is scared toninteract meaningfully. Sad, bit understandable.
