I used to work with a partner who would send me email and then come down the hall to see if I got them.
Actually got caught in the bathroom "You never answered my question."

Here and here. Get the papaya salad (be prepared for spicy).

Are we all in agreement that Trump is the dumbest person to ever hold national office? People keep arguing that he says things like, "Wind noise gives you cancer" because he loves fossil fuel and wants to mislead his base. But even if you believe he knows how ridiculously stupid that statement is (and I don't), the fact that he thinks he can influence people by saying it is, in itself, beyond stupid.

Have you considered the possibility that one reason we're so polarized might be that we have an intentionally unrepresentative federal government?

I'm assuming he just says whatever pops in his brain? Someone made a joke years ago that windmills will be found to cause cancer, and it floated up to the surface of the soup that is his brain as maybe truth. It also helps that he doesn't care if he is flat out lying. He obviously won't take any handling.

To be honest, Reagan might have been really dumb too, but his speeches were micro-managed.

I think he has the brainworms and they are getting worse.

But he also is extraordinarily sharp in some very particular ways.

On the list of reasons for our polarization, I think I would put that somewhere below the rules differences between college and pro football, and somewhere above Seasonal Affective Disorder.

It's not that he doesn't care, it's that he shows his status by lying. Caring for the truth is for other people. When you are the Alpha, you get to say shit with impunity, and other people repeat it because you are the Alpha.

Of all the people you know, I am the last one you should explain to what it is like to be the Alpha.

Self-refuting! If you were an Alpha, you would signal that by lying. If that's the truth, you are not an Alpha.

He has very high emotional intelligence. He reads people well, and he knows how to find their weaknesses. And for certain types of people, he has a remarkable ability to push their buttons.

George Conway is right. He is either mentally ill or quickly declining mentally. Ignoring the fact that he is a racist, narcissistic, insecure baby, it certainly appears that he is having a lot of trouble speaking clearly. Cognitively, something is wrong. While I'm sure he's always been an asshole, he has, in the past (but unlike now), been able to speak coherently and...make sense. Conway linked to an interview of Trump from the 80s and that Trump sounds totally different than 2019 Trump. "Articulate and coherent" according to Conway. If my uncle spoke like 2019 Trump, I'd tell my mom to get him to a doctor immediately.

If it was your uncle, and the doctor was going to say, he has the brainworms and there's nothing you can do about it -- don't let him operate heavy machinery or argue with people on the Twitter -- would you go to the doctor to hear that? Depressing.

Why don't you love your crazy uncle and how come you are siding with foreigners and effete liberal snobs over him?
