What drugs is he on or has walked too close to a windmill, he is even more the lunatic than usual Shock

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 05/02/2026 15:06

It might be more a case of what drugs he isn't on, by this point. I'm sure there are corrective drugs available to smooth out the worst excesses of early dementia.

There really isn't much that's particularly effective.

As there is not much news on him, how about foil hat time :-)

I noticed this:

Brad Karp resigns as chair of major law firm after Epstein emails become public | CNN Politics

See at the bottom:

"Karp made headlines last March after meeting with President Donald Trump and reaching a deal for the president to rescind his executive order that suspended security clearances for lawyers and staff at the law firm."

Hmmm. I wonder if someone has been using the Epstein files for their own nefarious ends ?

There are a lot of people today who have a guilty conscience. That is what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes stories, discovered. One day he decided to play a joke on 12 of his friends. He sent them all a message that said, “Flee at once. All is discovered.” And within 24 hours, all 12 of his friends had left the country. I think that is having a guilty conscience. It was just a joke. Nothing was discovered. But these people felt so guilty about something that they got out as quickly as they could.

I fear that is an urban myth, published in Tit-Bits magazine in September 1897 in their section for jokes and what they called "fancy stories". It usually involves an Archdeacon, who vanished completely, rather than twelve men who all left the country.

You know, I've been musing lately on Scrotus' increasingly insane remarks and 'threats'. He really, REALLY enjoys making his 'pronouncements' and throwing his insults.

So I think it's not necessarily increasing dementia, I think perhaps it's mental and emotional 'death grip syndrome'. He has to increase the frequency and 'strength' of his words because his satisfaction level decreases with the frequency of his verbal vomit. Maybe we'll be lucky and, as with DGS sufferers, soon he won't be able to 'perform' at all.

I know, wishful thinking. It's really that he's just hugely egotistical, has never been told 'no' or 'shut up', getting senile, and/or having Satan Miller and the rest of the 2025 crew whispering in his ears. I vote for all of the above.

Lately he's reminded me of a manager I once had. He loved the sound of his own voice and had a 'captive audience' in the staff. He'd call frequent meetings to 'discuss new legislation/regulations' but after the 15 necessary minutes for the actual subject, he'd end up bloviating on his opinions, 'knowledge' of all things, and what the staff didn't know until he 'enlightened' us. He once held forth for at least 30 minutes on the 'correct' pronunciation of the name of a city in our state, including (incorrectly) giving its 'history'.

Oh heck I once had a boss like that (female)

She loved the sound of her own voice, she was only happy when denigrating someone over nothing. She mimicked people behind their back and expected staff to laugh along. She was forever being stopped in the street with people she knew telling her how wonderful she was. She played a really nasty trick on the staff once that reduced some of them to tears. She threatened staff with the sack if they didn't own up to making a mistake that was of her doing. She lived for praise, any praise.
Goodness knows how I lasted so long in the job but I handed my notice in at a really inconvenient time and was jubilant to land her in it.

It was a long time ago but she really was a female Trump!

Yes, that. All except Clinton, who seems to have gone the other way and demanded that they publish and be damned. His only condition is that if they plan to publish what he says, they must publish it in full and without self-serving redaction.

Solidarity sister!

We got rid of ours but not in a completely satisfactory way. He was accused by a female member of staff of sexual harassment including pinning her against a wall. Her complaint was upheld (and swiftly too!). But instead of being sacked, he was 'kicked upstairs' to one of our Agency's large regional centres where he had no real staff until he could 'decide to retire'. A 'regular' staff member would have been sacked as soon as the complaint was upheld. This was in the early '90s and par for the course. Upper management was very rarely sacked over a 'personnel matter'. So they did the usual "Well we could sack you, but that's so much paperwork and you'd lose your pension. So how about we transfer you to XX place and you retire as soon as you're eligible".

It looks like it's a legit 'thing' (as in not having malware, etc) but I'm not clicking on it for fear of seeing upsetting things or images I don't want to see. 'Cuz I don't need to see the mangled body in the morgue to know a murder has been committed. It's enough for me to see the bloodstains.

I think l need a break from all the Epstein stuff. The algorithm threw up a video which people are saying is John Podesta. Nothing really to see, just audio, darkness, random lights. Apparently it's been around for years. It's a child screaming and crying like they are being tortured and a man shouting. It's the most disturbing thing I've ever heard in my life. I feel traumatised. Got knows what was happening and what happened to that child 😥

menopausalfart · 05/02/2026 20:14

@AhBiscuits I imagine the stuff they haven't released contains a lot of video. Trump supporters are still saying he's innocent on social media. The bar for decency has been set so low.

ThejustbrothersCarlenaNSoul · 05/02/2026 20:16

Trump saying America needs to move from Epstein files as there will be no new prosecutions.
Only AM ,mandelson ,Maxwell were at it now somehow that doesn't ring true.
Epstein had a lot of visitors to his various places round the world.
All these girls who were trafficked etc were for someone's benefit.
Nope Trump there's definitely more to see.
