A new memo from the Justice Department says President Donald Trump no longer has to follow a Watergate-era law barring him from holding on to presidential records when he leaves office.
It is the latest action by the administration to stymie transparency, government watchdog groups say, and yet another Trump swipe at the National Archives after its role in prompting the criminal case he faced for allegedly mishandling national defense materials.
The DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel – which gives legal advice to the executive branch – issued an opinion Thursday that said the Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional.
Dementia.
Everyone thinks it means all of the sudden you stand in the corner mumbling at the walls and wearing your underpants above your clothes… but it starts oftentimes years ahead of diagnosis with irrational, defiant, rash decisions that are put down to stubbornness and age.
Also, Trump IS terrified of ending up like his father, so in keeping with what he learned from Roy Cohn, it’s about keeping everyone around him off-balance so they can’t tell if it’s really mental impairment, or some “5D chess” move he’s making.
Ultimately, he probably at this point, doesn’t know himself. Part malignant narcissist, part desperate terror, part dementia and part self-delusiuon.
We’ve lived thru a decade straight of the president showing clear signs of dementia…
If any American can’t recognize the signs of brain damage (specifically dementia) by now, they haven’t been paying attention or theyve got something of their own going on.
I think a lot of people also forget that there was a gamut of immune response to Covid… It ranged from no issues at all to dropping dead within a few weeks. At what point did the low oxygenation in those made just ill enough from Covid to end up with breating problems, also get a touch of mental decline from that as well?
I know a lot of people that seemed much quicker on the uptake and had more mental acuity before Covid… and historically I’d be the first one to take the position that I don’t know shit and usually have my head up my ass. Now, I’m the one that seems to have my shit together when so many no longer do.
WTF?
