“I’m proud to officially name the undispuut…” Trump said, before muttering unintelligible gibberish for about two seconds.

“Trump, slurring: I’m proud to officially name the…undishpu…the…jshhhh…whendidthiscomeout,” wrote the Headquarters account, which is operated by Harris’ team.

        My friends MILs last conscious experience was screaming for her deceased parents in the hospital while vomiting and shitting blood (cancer).

        By all accounts she was a wonderful human. I hope Don the Diddler experiences this and much, much more.

          This has been your reminder to vote for candidates who support voluntary euthanasia. Otherwise this might be you, or your loved ones.

            My grandfather went out via MAID and I’m proud that he had the choice to go out with dignity.

            I’m not sure of that MILs politics but I am sure at that moment she’d have understood the necessity of the program.

      Ok, I won’t. The president passing changes nothing, the party is doing all of these things, this is all longstanding goals of theirs, the president just hijacked it, and has since lost his marbles and they are holding his hand. They still plan on stealing elections, and are in a position to do it now, there is no one to stop them, and the opposition to them is still run by unpopular sold out corporatist hacks that can’t reliably win a fair election, let alone rigged ones. We are FUCKED.

      We could take it back in the succession fight, but we won’t because we allowed the people that brought us Hillary, Biden, and Kamala to remain in control of the party, soon to force aristocrat newsome on us. It’s fucking pathetic we still listen to these ivy league hacks, and trust them, but that’s where we are at, with leaders that see popular reform as the enemy, not the fascists seeking to rig elections.

          Not to mention the re-normalization of rape culture. And to get rid of the fucking foreigners stealing all those lucrative jobs picking fruit or whatever. And to protect the god-given right of schoolchildren to blast each other’s brains out.

          There’s all kinds of reasons really! We shouldn’t be so quick to judge.

      Meh, after watching the clip, I wouldn’t even say it was bad. Just false hope in a click-baity title. I wouldn’t call it as much as a slur as a memory lapse of what he was supposed to be talking about. Started reading and basically said oh shit is this real?

        A memory lapse makes you forget the word, not slur something unintelligible. He went back to normal quickly, but something happened.

      Yeah, Americans have been well aware of this all along, but 'Mericans (Y’allqueda) have been gaslighting endlessly saying he’s totally fine.

      All of these idiots just do what the TV tells them.

    Sorry to disappoint anyone who hasn’t watched the video yet, but it doesn’t look anything like what’s being implied by the description given by the Daily Beast or by Harris’ team. They make it sound like he had a mini stroke on stage or something, when it looks more like he was reading off a written speech someone made for him and tripped over a sentence that took him mildly by surprise. If anything it looks like the same Trump interrupting himself mid-sentence that we’ve seen for decades.

    It’s not a great moment in speechmaking history, and it would be nice if he did step down for health reasons, but I didn’t see anything there that I haven’t seen hundreds of perfectly healthy people do when reading from a card.

    I am once again begging people not to post a headline that starts with “Trump, 79,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.

    Just give him a few hamberders and a couple Red Bull to wash it down with. He’ll be all good.

    “Sparks” implies that he has not been exhibiting health related issues (I refuse to call them “concerns”) for over a year now.

    Remember when they went all over Hillary for acting like having a stroke? That was 10 years ago. And she is still alive.

      I mean, Trump was acting like he had a stroke 10 years ago too, and he’s also still alive.

    “Concerns” is absolutely not the correct term to be using. “Hopes” would be much better.

    While different today, slurring while speaking was a great Canadian political tradition. They were all drunk.
