@jeanne-mayell or someone else (maybe lawrence?) predicted I believe that Trump would "fall" either literally or figuratively but I am not certain where that prediction is? I have a vague recollection it was for May or June though?
I came across this just now - regarding the typical stance/posture that those with FTD (fronto-temporal dementia) have - usually leaning forward otherwise they are at risk of jerking/falling backwards.....

Interestingly, Speaker Pelosi used the term confabulate when speaking about him as well - Pelosi said doctors have previously asked her “what’s the matter with him?” “Look up the word 'confabulator,'" Pelosi said. "He just really doesn't even know what the truth is."

I took statins for about three years. So in December of 2018, both my knees went out, and my back and legs were hurting. I thought it was stress because my trailer burned, and I have a bad back. Then, I had a sudden ten pound weight loss for no reason. Doctor ignored that and the odd pain I had up by my right collar bone. I also had thinning hair. The last straw was my liver had spots on it (We'll watch that.) Then I read statins can cause liver damage, and since I don't use anything that would do that, I decided it was the statin. They tried to get me to take another one, but I said no. I think they fibbed when they said my cholesterol had gone up 80 points in three months, when it had only gone up 25 points in the five years before that. My knees got better, not well, but better, I can't do anything about my back, but my liver is OK.

I'm on medicare. They don't do much. Last time I went in for blood pressure pills, they said you get ten minutes with the doctor, but it was less than five. I wouldn't go at all except for the BP pills, and the one they gave me before this one, gave me a mini-stroke. I only took one a day for five days.
Good News! I just read on twitter that the Lincoln Project is starting to do commercials on McConnell! Yeah thank you! I believe they have already released one on rump playing golf while we top 100,000 deaths. The arrogance of these people, Reps mainly, is amazing. The more I listen to rump and turtle the more I realize they are either so far out of touch they don't know what they are doing or they are so desperate they will throw anything at the wall to see if It will stick.
The anti-Amy commercial turtle has started here in Ky are a joke. All of the pro people hav Western Ky accents. That's where all his rich supporters are. Most are actors and what they say are lies and everybody knows it. Amy McGraft had a virtual town meeting this week and it went really well. Unfortuneatly I forgot about it and didn' tune in!
Happy Memorial Day to all.
Hi Elaine, my husband tried to take them and they shut down his muscles! One thing I know is the reason I like going to my doctor is she listens to ME. I told her don't ever put me on them, and she said, "Ok, then take flax seeds (ground) every day". I did just that and it put me in a better level (even though borderline high) but my good vs. bad cholesterol ratios are very good. My husband does the same thing once in a while, but since he's not as regimented about it I hid them in his breakfast - whether it's in the bread I bake, his cereal or even pancakes. LOL
SO since the Orange nightmare is a real and present danger and threat to all of us - whether they are supporters of his or not - I've decided in my daily life that when folks (whether I know them to be his supporters or not) to TELL THE TRUTH IN MY OPINION. I no longer hide and feel like I can't be honest about what I think of him. Example: I was at the dentist on Friday. (The poor dentist and her staff all wore two face masks, and the plastic shields and practiced every safe thing you could think of.) I felt totally safe, but worried more about THEM.
Anyway, everyone brings up the Virus so I just said "Well, in my personal opinion, our current POTUS is responsible for the extra 43k deaths that would have been spared had he not denied this was an issue back in early February if not sooner. If he had listened to the intelligence officers who told him this was coming, he could have shut the entire country down by mid or late February for 3 weeks, no flights etc. and stopped it in his tracks. The lives and economy would have been opened up by late March and we would be done with closures, but have social distancing and opening already."
I bring up that exact sentiment to anyone I talk to on the phone or anyone now who mentions how terrible this virus is and I don't care who agrees with me or not. So far no one has said they don't agree or boo to my sentiment.

@yogagirl I keep getting emails telling me Amy is losing - in an atttempt to get money - and saying that her poll numbers are 47% to Jackass' 49%. I thought his approval rating was something like 12%. What gives? If he indeed wins, there is massive cheating going on.
I wrote to Nancy Pelosi - just because I felt like I had to do something - and I asked her what the Democrats were planning to do to circumvent interference with voting.
I will be honest - I don't think the Dems are tough enough. He should be being impeached a second time. And we might not be in this position if the first time he was impeached they had forced all those people to testify by arresting them and withholding their salaries, which they could have done. No they didn't want people thinking those witnesses were martyrs. So now we are.
What I get tired of hearing : 'We're better than that', when whatever happens. Evidently we're not since we keep saying it.
@suspira44 I don’t know what to tell you. Ky is politically dirty always have been. The polls we see here they are tied. MM runs a lot of anti McGrath ads that are blatant lies. In the large cities people hate him. In the rural areas they think he’s god even though he has taken everything they have including their food stamps and they still vote for him. Two reasons, he’s a man and he’s white. Right now there is a group of big fat dumb folks marching on the Governor mansion protesting wearing mask. The signs they carry are awful, they are pro 2nd amendment. They even burned him in effigy in front of the mansion.
