The doc said he was "only joking" when he insulted Anthony Davis.
My respect for that doc went way down (around the 11 minute mark).

but the GOPee is going to be using this 2 years of a marshmallow Congress to ram through every crackpot idea they ever had.

Two years from now, the game will change. Either Congress will get better or it will get worse, but neither one will want that obviously demented old gasbag for the face of the government and one way or another, he will be out. It will be fine with him, he'll lose interest after the tax cut for billionaires and the job will be cutting into his golf too much.

In any case, I can add a new observation to the poor use of language, confabulation, flight pf ideas, and "I don't knows.," he's becoming increasinglty disinhibited. 10 years ago, he registered his disapproval of anyone who asked him any tough questions in an interview, but he saved it up for later (example, Megyn Kelly). Now, the mildest softball question asking him to clarify an answer sends him immediately into attack mode, a blind rage at the person and the news group. One reason AP and Reuters jave been banned is that their people were making him do this on a daily basis---it was showing rater badly and the news people weren't the ones looking bad.

Anyone who has ever coped with a person as progressive dementia gets as bad as it gets will recognize that one, it's not long until hestarts tushing people and taking swings at them. At that point, denial will be impossible because video will leak.

I would not want to be his family, his staff, or the press. I don' have much sympathy for any of them, the latter deserving it because of all the sanewashing they've done over the past 15 years.. Not my circus, not my big, fat, demented monkey. It is, however, going to be fun to watch.
