I’m continually amazed that DonOld keeps bragging about “acing” a basic dementia test. Every person on Medicare gets one of these (or a mini one) annually. But he mentions his test almost daily. Too dementia addled to even understand what the test is.
It worked then and continues to be effective with Cheetolini base, it would be idiotic for him to adjust his patios. Nixon had a mid 30’s approval rating when her resigned, that seems to be the absolute bottom of the then “conservative” base, my guess would be that’s where Cheatloaf’s approval will settle, as the lyrics state “it’s all about the bass not the troubles.”
I had one of those at my last physical. I started chuckling because I was so tempted to reply man, woman, camera, TV in response to the words I was supposed to remember.
Sorry, ST. I love Andy but I’m 84 and I’ve never got a basic dementia test. Not a mini one. Let’s be accurate. There’s enough medical ageism out there.
Then your doctor has done you a disservice. You’re entitled to have an annual Medicare thorough exam, which should and must really include for your own sake a very basic test for dementia. It’s always stressful but it’s not that hard! You sound like a person who would ace it, but not in the Trump way!
I am not talking about an MRI, it’s a simple cognitive test that they ask you to remember five words, and then they ask you what they were a little while later. That’s what they give Trump while he goes on and on about those same words. I’ve had several, I’m 78 and my husband was a physician, and he took that same test given by his own physician. I meant that you should ask about that of your doctors. Maybe they don’t think you need it, but it’s given not as something that seems to be needed, but part of the annual required Medicare exam.
I'm on Medicare and don't recall ever having basic dementia tests. Do they give it secretly or are you programed not to remember. Actually I have an Advantage plan.
My hope has long been that a stroke leaves him with aphasia so he can't speak and ideally can't use his typing / texting hand, either. FAR better than having him be some sort of martyr like CK
I'm praying the Gods of Dementia will arrange the universe so that one fine morning, a wandering, sleepless, exhausted old fart will wander into the White House briefing role clad only in his Depends. Wonder how Karoline Spokesbarbie will explain that one...
My fantasy is that he has a stoke that leaves him bedridden, paralyzed, with aphasia so he can’t speak, so that he is “locked in”, but aware. It might be better than having him locked in prison, because then the next Republican President would not be able to pardon him out of jail.
The type that gives him "LOCKED IN SYNDROME" where all he can do is blink once for yes, two for no. Have a long and miserable life Demented Donnie Double Chins. You've been muted permanently. Champagne wishes and caviar dreams 🤗
I think it was Yogi Berra or maybe Dizzy Dean who once got beaned with a baseball and was taken to a hospital for X-rays. Later he returned to the locker room where teammates asked how he was doing. "They looked in my head," Yogi said, "and found nuthin'..." Yogi actually was very smart. However, the jury's no longer out on Trump.
Yogi was so great at quips, do you think they were all spontaneous? I’ve always wondered. He had a lot of downtime in the dugout, the like Brimsley and Farnsworth in “The Natural”.
Andy, is this satire? It sounds suspiciously like the truth to me. You are always ahead of the curve, and everything you print is true, so I think this might be an outlier, sober reporting.
That's Andy's brilliance. Sometimes I read his posts (on NOTES) and they are about serious matters, and then I start laughing from the zingers 🤣😂🤣😂 The truth with a 1/4 cup of sugar mixed in to make the medicine go down.
Worse yet, why do we let people like this become the POTUS? He doesn't represent us, he represents himself, like he always has. I guess it would be too much to ask Congress to impeach him, as they are a bunch of cowards beholden, for some reason or other, to the Putin lover called Trump.
He needs to get a brain MRI from somewhere other than Walter Reed and by a radiologist whose life is not endangered by telling us the truth. There are ways.........

Man woman moron idiot felon
And pedophile!
along with the rest of the RE-PEDO-CANS
Exactly!
Perfect
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How about megalomaniac to end the list of endearing qualities ? 😉
Here's the test the dementing felon aced:
"Idiot - man - grab - woman - p****"
Actually laughed out loud.
Not fair-those are 5 words he actually could memorize…
NOT IN THAT VACUUM
Liar
Man woman moron idiot felon weasel
Ha!!!!
I suspect that the “nothing “ that the MRI found was a vacuum. Even RFKkk Jr.’s brain furnished enough sustenance for a worm.
.....and, let's see, what do worms like to eat? Oh, wet dirt and *$#!! Plenty of dirt and the other stuff between RFKKK JR's ears.....
red wigglers eat decaying material. So RFK had a red wiggler attack.
except the worm died...
Of starvation
Love the RFKkk jr! And the RF stands for Roadkill Food!
Eeeuuuu.🐛🐛🐛
With his constant need for adulation (including the "self" variety), Trump often reaches for anything he can get.
Besides, the fact he claims success on this test (rather than remaining silent) more likely than not means it's false. That's how he operates.
He doesn’t remember that he has said it before. It frequently happens with the elderly
for those who remember, he has a skip in his vinyl album brain . . . he just keeps repeating the same old stuff he said 8 years ago

"it's all about the bass not the troubles".
That's a keeper.
I had one of those at my last physical. I started chuckling because I was so tempted to reply man, woman, camera, TV in response to the words I was supposed to remember.
That was a temptation I could not resist Marilyn.
The kindly woman testing looked at me and we both burst out laughing.
Empty? I thought he had 💩for brains.

An MRI is required for special cases only. I have several doctors including Primary, Cardio and Dermo. Thanks for not being rude.

The White House physician has confirmed that Trump underwent “a full battery of tests,” including a bead maze and “coloring between the lines.”
He really thinks it’s an IQ test
I had hoped they would do his feet, thus showing purported Bone Spurs
It is pitiful.
That's because he doesn't remember saying it. He has to re"mind" us.
I'm on Medicare and don't recall ever having basic dementia tests. Do they give it secretly or are you programed not to remember. Actually I have an Advantage plan.
I had a dream he suffered from a stroke causing catastrophic brain damage... and no one noticed.
My hope has long been that a stroke leaves him with aphasia so he can't speak and ideally can't use his typing / texting hand, either. FAR better than having him be some sort of martyr like CK
I'm praying the Gods of Dementia will arrange the universe so that one fine morning, a wandering, sleepless, exhausted old fart will wander into the White House briefing role clad only in his Depends. Wonder how Karoline Spokesbarbie will explain that one...
"The President is showing Americans that he is not shackled by false beliefs about modesty. He wears his Depends with pride!"
Oh, yech! Now you've gone and made me imagine that scenario in my head! EEuuuwww!!! Blech!
it helps to look at pictures of kittens and puppies . . . find a pic of Mousse and Cookie quickly!!
"you know our president has always been transparent"
Oh my goodness. Ouch ouch!!! ROFL
My fantasy is that he has a stoke that leaves him bedridden, paralyzed, with aphasia so he can’t speak, so that he is “locked in”, but aware. It might be better than having him locked in prison, because then the next Republican President would not be able to pardon him out of jail.
doesn't he already babble incoherently?
yep, and its getting much, much worse
With a long period of suffering, like Joe Kennedy, understanding what’s happening around him, powerless to do anything. What karma that would be!
Exactly right! Now that's karma at work! 🙏
I have thought the SAME THOUGHT for years now!
The type that gives him "LOCKED IN SYNDROME" where all he can do is blink once for yes, two for no. Have a long and miserable life Demented Donnie Double Chins. You've been muted permanently. Champagne wishes and caviar dreams 🤗
OOFDAH!! 🤪
Well said!
Oh....was that a dream?
that wasn't a dream
😂🤣😂🤣
Your dream is our reality! Ugh. Emptiness. Living the dream!
Andy B. you keep me afloat when I feel like I’m drowning in a sea of arrogance and incompetence.
I can’t read this column if I have anything in my mouth.
I’m with ya on that!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
MRI was not needed to state the obvious
I think it was Yogi Berra or maybe Dizzy Dean who once got beaned with a baseball and was taken to a hospital for X-rays. Later he returned to the locker room where teammates asked how he was doing. "They looked in my head," Yogi said, "and found nuthin'..." Yogi actually was very smart. However, the jury's no longer out on Trump.

Ole' Diz did tell a version of this too.

Dementia on top of stupidity. It is all in the genes. Why do we still allow people like this to immigrate to our country?
Worse yet, why do we let people like this become the POTUS? He doesn't represent us, he represents himself, like he always has. I guess it would be too much to ask Congress to impeach him, as they are a bunch of cowards beholden, for some reason or other, to the Putin lover called Trump.

Andy your library of appropriate photographs never ceases to amaze me!
Right?! That’s always my thought as I laugh my old ass off!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
He's like Oakland. There's no there, there.
“Sir! Our MRI has now concluded
There’s just cerebrospinal fluid
Within your empty orange head;
Your brain is gone, not merely dead.
In fact, your body is a husk,
A robot owned by Elon Musk.
No wonder that your golf game stinks,
When you cavort upon the links.
It seems that, unlike JFK,
whose brain worm finally passed away,
The scans we took within your noggin
Showed sharp declines, like a toboggan.
It started as a likely hunch:
Cerebral sounds of “munch” and “crunch”
Were parasites enjoying lunch.
So now, your ceaseless string of lies,
Your wardrobe, with its crimson ties,
Your cankles in their special hose,
The hairs protruding from your nose;
Your big Qatari Air Force One,
Your hope to have a worthwhile son,
Will vanish in eternal night.
Erased by cerebellar blight.
One of your best! Need to publish a book-as I tell you all the time!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You da man.
Susan is right!
My favourite since I have become a subscriber. No brains found.
That would be the "Gulf of America"
So when they look at his brain and find nothing that’s not in the good zen way, right?
Andy, you're a bright spot - every day at least a smile - in this dark time.
Too true to be satire!
Everything I write is true.
Stated in Princeton - before having the first question of the night “If I quote Aristotles correctly…”
God if that was captured on video! Like watching a walk off home-run in game 7 of a world series. And my nieces got to see it!
