O.K. Republicans you all saw today's shit ..

... show is it now not abundantly clear
he is out of his mind and it is time for the
25th amendment?

Legless people walking, California doesn't have electricity, we bombed them @ breakfast, Obama is a stupid son of a bitch
(top of his class @ Harvard law), and when a reporter said, "I'm from Japan." Trump then asked him where he was from the
reporter said, "I'm from Japan."

I watched about 1/2 of his speech and the
Q & A and he is out to lunch and was wheezing like a very sick man.

My greatest wish, aside from him just dying, is that his death occurs in public. And that it is horrific, painful, and hopefully prolonged.

I'm talking shitting and pissing himself, blood seeping from every orifice possible with it all accompanied by howling and screaming. Even better if no one tries to help. I want to see everyone standing around looking at their watch while that motherfucker is in a thousand times more pain than can be imagined.

And I want an hour-long director's cut by Quentin Tarrentino highlighting the goriest parts.

I want to be able to play it on an endless loop and be able to pull it out and rewatch whenever I'm feeling a little blue.

What with one of his brothers having dumped a serving bowl full of them on his head one evening at the family dinner table.

We are not the only ones who see him for what he is. One of his brothers saw it decades ago and had had enough already by then.

Donald was tormenting his younger brother, Robert. Robert was getting more and more upset, but nobody could get him to stop until Freddie dumped that huge bowl of mashed potatoes on his head.

I wish I could say he learned something from that experience, but we all know that's not the case. It did buy Robert a respite from Donald's harassment though.

The first would be in prison for his crimes, rejected even by his former cult and no longer dominating the news -- except when he dies.

If he doesn't go to prison, here's my scenario:

He's sitting on his golden toilet, squeezing out half digested Big Macs while posting lies on "Truth" Social.

The device slips through his tiny hands, and falls into the putrid slop he just deposited. He stands up, turns around, trips over the trousers around his cankles, and hits his head on the back rim of the toilet.

Then drowns in his own shit.

It was a real shit show. I don't see the White House ever putting him out again
because his physical and mental health

Btw Trump is like my mother who has dementia... we just gave her a bowl of ice cream and 5 minutes later she asked for some dessert. The man is out to LUNCH.

The Hallucinating ChatGPT Presidency -- Is Trump a chatbot?

repost of https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220281483


https://www.techdirt.com/2025/04/29/the-hallucinating-chatgpt-presidency/

Judge for yourself.

Tue, Apr 29th 2025 09:34am - Mike Masnick

We generally understand how LLM hallucinations work. An AI model tries to generate what seems like a plausible response to whatever you ask it, drawing on its training data to construct something that sounds right. The actual truth of the response is, at best, a secondary consideration.

snip

But over the last few months, it has occurred to me that, for all the hype about generative AI systems “hallucinating,” we pay much less attention to the fact that the current President does the same thing, nearly every day. The more you look at the way Donald Trump spews utter nonsense answers to questions, the more you begin to recognize a clear pattern — he answers questions in a manner quite similar to early versions of ChatGPT. The facts don’t matter, the language choices are a mess, but they are all designed to present a plausible-sounding answer to the question, based on no actual knowledge, nor any concern for whether or not the underlying facts are accurate.

snip

This is not the response of someone working from actual knowledge or policy understanding. Instead, it’s precisely how an LLM operates: taking a prompt (the question about job losses) and generating text based on some core parameters (the “system prompt” that requires deflecting blame and asserting greatness).

The hallmarks of AI generation are all here:
• Confident assertions without factual backing
• Meandering diversions that maintain loose semantic connection to the topic
• Pattern-matching to previous responses (“ripped off,” “billions of dollars”)
• Optimization for what sounds good rather than what’s true

"Why are you not familiar with comments made by the President when the taxpayers of the US are paying your salary to keep abreast of what is going on in the world?" or
"Do you think you can perform your job as Speaker of the House adequately if you are not aware of what the leader of your own party is saying and doing?"

They get away with that shit every damn time and it drives me bonkers.
