As the president threatens to wipe out Iran and attacks the pope, even some former allies and advisers are questioning whether he has grown increasingly unbalanced, describing him as “lunatic” and “clearly insane.”

    I don’t think it’s so much that he’s gotten so obviously insane that more people are noticing it, but that he’s gotten so obviously insane that fewer people can keep pretending he’s not.

      Exactly. This isn’t really up for debate, he is and has been batshit for years.

      What a world we live in, where we can’t be sure that the President of the United States has dementia because he’s always been mentally fucked-up.

      It’s more that they’re trying to gaslight everyone else he’s fine, because he’s easily manipulated and gets blamed for everything.

      It’s the same shit that was happening with Biden.

      And why we can’t check out from the DNC before the next presidential primary this is our best shot to actually get a decent Dem to the general. And the bllionaires will spend a lot of money and cable air time to depress turnout in hopes of preventing that.
