Musings of a stable genius;
Donald Trump: Doug Burgum, he was the great governor of North Carolina... He's the Secretary of Energy plus a lot of land.
(Fact: Doug Burgum was never the governor of North Carolina and is not his Energy Secretary. I cant explain the lot of land statement)
Hes demented.

When he becomes insupportable, chosen successors will step onto the bus as Trumpsky gets a good look at the drive train and suspension.

"Sane" and "insane" are definitions used in the legal system, to serve as a measurement of knowing right from wrong, and the ability to work with a defense attorney. By that standard, the felon is "sane."
Being "sane" does not imply either mental health or mental illness. A person can have a major mental illness, and be competent to stand trial. The felon, of course, does not have a major mental illness. As my 2020 series of interviews with Dr. Bandy Lee document, he is a sociopath, who has numerous factors found in the Cluster B personality disorders.
More, he is at an age where his cognitive skills are declining.
I consider the bastard to be a criminal and insane. Thank you

(594 posts)Oxford Dictionary online. Done. Fin.
it says, "The use of insane with this meaning can be offensive, although it still has a technical use in law, meaning that somebody is not able to understand that their own actions are wrong or not able to understand a trial process." Which is, of course, what I have been saying. But you are free to use it, despite being exposed to the Oxford dictionary!

(77,418 posts)At 93 years of age, my aunt was sharp as a tack. She would have made the felon cry in a debate. People have a wide range in terms of mental decline, based upon DNA, life style, diet, excercise, and ways of navigating stress. However, in general, the felon is at the age the decline tends to start. Of course, there are different paces in decline.
