It’s such a bizarrely specific thing that it has to be real

my logic was "that doesn't seem like something people would do, but maybe he remembered something but didn't really understand it", it feels more like the thing boomers do where pop culture mixes in with their own memories and they can no longer tell what really happened and what they picked up from the news or some old movie

If you spend time with someone with dementia one thing you'll notice is the things they forget are the things that happened most recently, whereas they retain their earlier life memories for much longer- the memory loss seems to work its way backwards, and the impression I get is they begin to volunteer more information and clarity of detail for those older events as those become the only things they still remember

Trump getting COVID.

Trump wanting to open his shirt to reveal a superman shirt, but was stopped by his handlers.

AMLO, the Mexican president, holding up two religious amulets claiming that they protected him. He is now on his third infection. :lol:

Trump getting booed by his base for taking credit for the vaccines.

Also, this video, a staple of the doomsday econ thread.

quote:

Burnett and Trump have licensed the “Apprentice” format to dozens of other countries, and Burnett once noted that, increasingly, tycoons cast in the Trump role are “people with political aspirations.” At least half a dozen hosts have held political office, including João Doria, the governor-elect of São Paulo State, who is an ally of Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s strongman President-elect. Last year, Kevin O’Leary, one of the hosts of “Shark Tank,” announced his intention of running for Prime Minister of Canada, as a member of the Conservative Party, noting that he and Trump had “both worked for Mark Burnett, and we both got famous on reality television.” Burnett joked to more than one person that he was no longer simply a TV producer but a producer of political leaders. (Four months later, O’Leary dropped out of the race and returned to the show.)

For nearly two decades, Burnett has also spoken about his desire to make a television show with Vladimir Putin. In 2001, he sought to enlist Putin in a project called “Destination: Mir,” a reality competition in which the winner would be sent into space. The idea was scuttled after Russia decommissioned the Mir space station. In 2015, Burnett expressed an interest in building a reality show featuring Putin—not so much a program about politics, Burnett suggested, as a hymn to the glory of Russia, “the humans, the nature, the animals of the nation.”

I looked up the White House doctor who Trump tried to appoint as VA Secretary, and apparently he's an elected congressman now, so... uh... good for him? :shrug:

Looks like he ended up being a right wing shithead after all.

He believes uncritically that vaccines are killing people by the millions and shuffling around his former position as White House doc to lend credence to Covid conspiracies. He’s a piece of poo poo, yeah.
