The full depth of his battiness is getting lost in the political coverage of his presidential bid.

      It could also be the mercury poisoning or the batshit insanity.

        Actually the real answer, iirc, is that his brain was too toxic for it to survive. I’m not even kidding!! :-P (he ate so much fish that he gave it mercury poisoning)

        Then he used that to claim that he had a mental disability that was so bad that he should not have to pay money to his wife after the divorce.

        Now his campaign says that despite the brain worms, he totally doesn’t have a disability.

        This man is amazing - he is literally all things, to all people, at all times (at least in his own worm-addled mind, that is!:-P).

          How long do you have to cook fish to cook off the mercury?

            Cooking doesn’t help any. I wondered if washing would… but also no. Or trimming, but again no. Basically you just need to avoid it.

            https://www.fda.gov/food/environmental-contaminants-food/fdaepa-2004-advice-what-you-need-know-about-mercury-fish-and-shellfish says you can:

            eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) per week of fish you catch from local waters, but don’t consume any other fish during that week.

            It’s got a ton of good advice - which types of fish are okay, which are less so, deeper answers to timing and many other questions too.

              he ate so much raw fish that he gave it mercury poisoning

              So why did you write raw fish there and not just fish?

    A worm literally ate part of his brain, so him being crazier than I’d think is a pretty high bar.

    After reading the article: Alright I’ll admit it, he’s crazier than I thought.

      To be honest though look at his family. They definitely have the story behind them for him to know this kinda shit. Deeper than the Trump lineage or the Clinton one. Up there with the Bush ones.

      If George W started saying this shit I’d think either dementia slip of the tongue or truth.

      And who’s to say it isn’t actually true? Look at the Project for the New American Century and 9/11. Somebody with influence must have had some kind of plan to take advantage of the situation. Blackrock and Goldman are pros at capitalizing on events. We know the World Economic Forum was already thinking about a pandemic.

          They work for the good of the people who fund them, like Blackrock and Goldman.
