Sometimes I think I hear all I can stand just by following the news, but we all need to be informed. I'm currently a little over halfway through Mary Trump's second book, it's not as personal as the first one, she goes into a lot of U.S. history in this one, but it's still smart and well written and I recommend this book, too.

that freakin' slob dressed up in a suit at one of his rallies. I have a hard time believing he's not gonna just drop dead one of these days.

I used to be way overweight, eat like hell, and some days drink nothing but coffee and diet Pepsi. The first improvement was ditching the soda and drinking water. I felt better right away. I started eating healthier food but still way too much about then. My blood work still was okay somehow.

If I had to go back to a diet close to TFG, I would feel like I was dying, I'm sure. If I did that, I may as well start drinking and smoking again too. At least I'd feel good while I was drunk!

I'll be amazed if he can run again just because of his health. You'd think that after the mini-stroke episode that sent him to Walter Reed, they would have done everything they could do to get him on a healthier diet, but you'd see some improvement quickly if they did, especially if they got him to exercise at all. Nope. He still looks like hell.

But it's also that what he says often makes no sense, he was clueless in the beginning, but he's gotten rapidly worse over time. It's been said that he can't remember what he said previously, but it's gotten that he contradicts himself more than once in the same sentence. Not that this matters to those who don't mind hearing him bloviate about himself, but he was and still is a clear and present danger to the country. And now that we know what transpired with General Milley, it's even worse than we thought. Are the Republicans really that anti American?? They have done nothing that indicates otherwise...
