President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Small dicked fat pant loads who buy sex, like trump and presumably YF, are Intimidated by smart women. Look at the dipshit women trump surrounds himself with, wife #2 and #3 don’t have much personality or brains. Ivanka is vacuous. pOnderossa was an illiterate nobody. Sarah Huckster is a brazen liar but not well spoken or thoughtful. Kellyanne? Nothing impressive between the ears.

 

When I covered Trump in NYC in the early 90s, it was no problem to get him on the phone, or have him call you. It was also no problem to get naked photos of Marla faxed to us on a daily basis.

 

Right along with the lunch menus.

 

We should ban coffee and other caffeinated drinks due to the affects they might have on the depressed.

Ban coffee!

Abstract
Of 83 hospitalized adult psychiatric patients, 22% reported being high caffeine consumers (750 mg/day or more); these scored significantly greater on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory than moderate and low consumers. High consumers described significantly more clinical symptoms, felt that their physical health was not as good, and reported greater use of sedative-hypnotics and minor tranquilizers. Since caffeine modifies catecholamine levels, inhibits phosphodiesterase breakdown of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, and sensitizes receptor sites, association of caffeinism with both anxiety and depressive symptoms is possible.

Yeah, that sounds like a fun article to write.

I'm not sure why you would doubt this. Marijuana messes with brain chemistry. That's not helpful for someone who is battling depression and suicidal tendencies, and is looking to fight them with prescription medications.

Is it shocking that articles dealing with his suicide didn't get into the harm that using marijuana would have done? Not at all. Suicide articles almost always tread softly, and bringing up his marijuana usage would have seemed like blaming the victim.

Hell, read the articles about Erica Garner's death -- from a heart attack, not suicide. They all mention asthma, but almost none mention that obesity likely played a role in her asthma.

It's not nice to say.

Erica Garner, the daughter of Eric Garner who became an outspoken activist against police brutality after her father’s death at the hands of a New York police officer, died on Saturday, according to her mother. She was 27.

Ms. Garner had been placed in a medically induced coma last week after an asthma episode precipitated a major heart attack. She was being treated at Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center in Brooklyn, and died there. No official cause of death has been given.

Erica Garner, Activist and Daughter of Eric Garner, Dies at 27

 

The chapter in Infinite Jest that has the man waiting on the woman to bring his marijuana would be a good Rorschach test for this board.

 

Is it funny like the sentence where David Sedaris writes about rebelling against sharing Halloween candy so much that he hurriedly shoves as much chocolate into his mouth till it starts dripping onto the floor?

 

My gosh. For people who claim to abhor "whataboutism", you sure play a lot of it when marijuana gets mentioned.

Talk all you want about booze -- but shut the fuck up about coffee you assholes -- it doesn't do anything to defend what I've said about marijuana.

 

I'm not sure that Murrow would be able to deal with the level of culture shock, although his insights would be priceless.

I wish we had Molly Ivins and Hunter Thompson to chronicle this. Trump would be right in their wheelhouses.

 

You can look up my don't-give-a-shit'ism about whataboutism as there are no whataboutism posts.

I'm simply stating that you're way off the fucking mark about pot being some kind of trigger for suicide.

 

Anxious to hear how trump will help.
