No guarantee on that though. Trump could literally be the Walking Dead and the media would just ignore it.

In order to have cognitive decline, you need to have cognition to begin with.

Trump has sued CBS, alleging it edited an interview with 2024 with Harris last fall to benefit her. CBS News has denied that. CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, is in talks to potentially settle Trump's lawsuit. At the same time, Paramount Global is seeking administration approval of a merger with Skydance Media.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainmen...538643?cmp=rss

This paragraph really captures the whole thing. Trump makes a big deal about nothing, company "settles" so they can get their merger approved. Trump walks away with bribe, company makes boatloads more money. The American Way just keeps getting greasier.

Quote:
In addition to the tussle with Trump, Paramount's controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, has expressed unhappiness over some network coverage of Israel's war in Gaza, including a 60 Minutes piece this winter. Paramount began supervising 60 Minutes stories in new ways, including asking former CBS News president Susan Zirinsky to look over some of its stories before they aired.
Ah, the world where a shareholder can censor journalists. Democracy is indeed dead down there. Money is power. That voters so blindly handed it to them should be a stern warning to the rest of the free world not to give these mother####ing right wing weasels a goddamn inch.

Is Trump going to sue Fox News for all their ridiculously obvious edits of his interviews with them?

Hidden?

The man looked at a solar eclipse. That was when things were going "well".

Look at his face, he clearly is unwell. We need answers now and a second opinion on his health and cognitive ability. Its time we have a real conversation if this president is fit to serve or should he be in jail for the remainder of his life.

So, I guess only 99.9% of what he does is evil and gross. I'm glad to see that bi-partisan cooperation is still possible, although there is pushback against this new law.

Unless he's doing it for his own selfish reasons...

I say we spin up bots using Grok to flood Xitter and Facebook with Trump-Musk-Zuckerburg three way deepfake porn and see how this really works. Since it is the platforms being held responsible...

Aw crap, of course. That should be allowed as parody but we know how that’ll go. So he signed a good bill, but will use it further his agenda, like every law.

Oh yeah. That was a good one. Interesting to see how Fox and MAGAts will spin that.

Realistically...? Its a miracle of modern medicine that a man with his diet has even made it this far. To the point...where I will consider the possibility that he is a Lizard-Man in a Man-Suit.

It is actually, and astonishingly, the most likely probability.

UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest healthcare conglomerate, has secretly paid nursing homes thousands in bonuses to help slash hospital transfers for ailing residents – part of a series of cost-cutting tactics that has saved the company millions, but at times risked residents’ health, a Guardian investigation has found.

Those secret bonuses have been paid out as part of a UnitedHealth program that stations the company’s own medical teams in nursing homes and pushes them to cut care expenses for residents covered by the insurance giant.

In several cases identified by the Guardian, nursing home residents who needed immediate hospital care under the program failed to receive it, after interventions from UnitedHealth staffers. At least one lived with permanent brain damage following his delayed transfer, according to a confidential nursing home incident log, recordings and photo evidence.

“No one is truly investigating when a patient suffers harm. Absolutely no one,” said one current UnitedHealth nurse practitioner who recently filed a congressional complaint about the nursing home program. “These incidents are hidden, downplayed and minimized. The sense is: ‘Well, they’re medically frail, and no one lives for ever.’”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/..._b-aplnews_d-1

Certainly not with a bullet in their back.

Quote:
“APK drove everything,” said one former national UnitedHealth executive who worked on the initiative with nursing homes in more than two dozen states and spoke about the confidential contracts on the condition of anonymity. “You gain profitability by denying care, and when profitability suffers for the shareholders, that’s when people get crazy and do things that are not appropriate.
You are starting to get it, except you applied that to shareholders instead of society. That your concern is only for keeping crazy investors at bay may be a sign you are missing something more...impactful.

Last half hour or so of coverage of meeting between Trump and South African president was difficult to watch. Just bizarre
