      No shock that a Trump interview with an African-American would be a catastrophe.

      You just know how he feels about - [ looks around ] - immigrants!

      people forget musk was an “illegal” himself, having overstayed a visa (allegedly). I do wonder if he lied on any of his immigration paperwork because citizenship can be rescinded on the grounds of fraud. This would force twitter to be registered as a foreign owned corporation and likely would be forced to sell under the tiktok law and he’d lose the military contracts.

      Always correlated it with a stroke, but yeah could be many things. Stokes use the acronym “Fast” for quick recognition.

      Face- Drooping/Sagging, muscular slack

      Arms - hold up arms if one falls…

      Speech - Slurring, inability to speak properly

      Time - contact emergency services immediately, as that person doesn’t have time

    Don’t worry, when reporters asked his campaign about a very easily provable fact on a live-broadcast and widely recorded event, they said this:

    In an emailed response to an inquiry about the lisp from a Huffington Post reporter, the Trump campaign said, “Must be your s****y hearing. Get your ears checked.”

          That’s great timing. He’d have a day or so to screech about the votes for everyone’s amusement. Then dying soon after would help stop this election’s insurrectionists from doing terrorist attacks on the country.

      I haven’t been following too closely, but I thought he was more worried/upset about the dems swapping Biden for Kamala than the assassination attempt.

      • You don’t have to watch the news to know that the dude is completely rattled after a sniper took like eight shots at him and got him with a piece of one of them. If it was an inch to the other direction it would have torn off the side of his head. It was traumatic for Trump, to be sure.

        He’s been very obviously getting more senile over the last few months, even before Biden dropped out and before he got shot.

    The scheduled chat started 30 minutes late after Musk’s platform failed to launch a livestream, which Musk attributed to a “DDOS” attack. After the interview got underway, users were quick to point out that Trump didn’t sound as sharp as usual.

    Sure thing, Lonnie. You were under DDOS. I believe that because it’s not like your live chat with DeSantis was bogged down with tons of problems and this is a pattern. Fucking liar.

        I watched a video not long ago of him giving a tour at SpaceX. He was showing off the evolution of the rockets and he pointed out how the newer ones have fewer “fiddly bits” on the outside. And Muskovites think he’s a real engineer or something.

      They probably just cut server costs to the bone to save money and they can’t handle the load. Since their live streaming probably never gets traffic otherwise.

          I don’t think auto-scaling can scale to resources that don’t exist. Besides, I’m not sure how many people with both the competence and the spine to advise Musk when he’s doing A Stupid again still remain at the company.

              Oh absolutely, provided you’re versed enough to understand the resource limitations, the need to prepare scaling solutions and have the willingness to admit that your in-house resources might not be enough. I’m not confident Musk ticks any of these boxes, let alone all of them.

              And a competent team can only do so much. He ripped out data center servers, against his competent sysadmins’ advice.

    Second post: I looked up a short clip and I didn’t think it was all that pronounced. But maybe it also was more obvious with more exposure. I legit have a lisp, so I have a pretty developed idea about what that sounds like. I think mine is more prominent, or at least was before I learned to subdue it. It’s wild when I drink.

      Yeah it wasn’t actually a lisp, it sounded like his dentures weren’t seated right and he was drooling and producing excess saliva. People just don’t have a word for that so they are calling it a lisp.

      I have to say, sorry to you and others like you for being unhinged about it yesterday. I think other commenter was right: we didn’t really know what to call it. I switched from slurring to lisp every other chat message.

      But with that said, I do not think it was insignificant. In the beginning, it seemed like just some weird slip up sorta shit. By the end though, I could barely understand what he said sometimes. It got BAD.

        I didn’t notice anyone getting unhinged, but thanks nonetheless. I became one with my lisp years ago. I used to be embarrassed by it, but once I got it to be a bit less obvious, it became normal and natural to me to have a very slight lisp and was not a source of shame. I even advertised it on my dating profile to take the awkwardness away.

          Technically he died of pneumonia but he did have Alzheimers. It was on full display for years. But you rarely die of it. It just makes you much more likely to die from something else.

            Yeah, we had to watch my wife’s mom die of dehydration. Pneumonia is a really common Alzheimer’s related illness as they forget how to swallow and cough properly (or productively).

            Until we have right to die laws, dying from Alzheimer’s-related ______ is going to remain common.
