Aw thats a shame. He was a prick of a man as a politician but awful to see a man failing like that, he looks on the way out. I take no joy in that, hes dying by the looks. I wouldnt like to slowly die in the public eye.

Hes a ****. The sooner him and his ilk are gone the better. No sympathy from me.
Hes had the means to make peoples lives better and all hes done is whatever it takes to hang on to power and get rich.

No one forcing him to be in office. He wont relinquish so hes doing this to himself

No. Fuck him. That **** has done his best to ensure that literally hundreds of thousands die unnecessarily early and in extreme pain through their inability to receive necessary medical care, let alone ensuring Roe was overturned and thus 13 year olds have to carry their rapist’s baby to term.

Fuck that ****. Fuck everything he’s touched and fuck everyone that’s enabled him. I take plenty of joy from it, I’m just sad there’s no hell as he’d have to pack his bathing suit for it.

That could be a t.i.a.

Like a stroke but short-lived.

" speech may be slurred or garbled, or the person may not be able to talk at all, despite appearing to be awake; they may also have problems understanding what you're saying to them."

Could be. More likely vacant episodes due to something else like early dementia for example.
 
Fucking daft place, how are things meant to get resolved when everything is political there? Ive said there are no separation of powers and Yanks on here have complained about that.

"Fulton County's District Attorney, Fani Willis, a Democrat, has increasingly come under fire from some Republicans and Trump allies for her decision to indict Mr Trump in the case."

Over here, she would be a senior crown prosecutor for the CPS probably, that level. That they have to vote for DAs is mental. That they then ascribe political allegiances to them cannot be right, all round, Shirley?

I think they live by the idea that everybody has a political lean and so it is better to acknowledge that and know who leans which way than pretend it doesn’t exist.

It’s an argument, but not one I’m particularly fond of. I think all it does is pressure judges/DAs etc. to follow party lines.

no it goes beyond that. They actually vote for a DA, and that makes them a candidate who aligns to one party or another. And they campaign for election on issues as a result. They should just be prosecutors, on merit, internally promoted. Why, and how, should the administration of justice and the rule of law have any political edges around it at all? Mental place, and no wonder Trump behaves like he does as a result. They dont just enable him, they made him. Its a ludicrous way of running a country. They are jokers

I know they campaign and get elected, I’m just stating the way that is justified by Americans who are in favour of this system. They think everything is political, and pretending people are independent is pointless so they don’t bother.

I agree with you it’s totally bonkers.

I had a hard time understanding the American system of government until I was able to decode the bullshit. Giving politicians or even judges bribes is legalized “lobbying”, “campaign donations”, or “gifts” as long as it is declared. Unfortunately the rot is too deep in my opinion for their to be enough political will to fix this.

Who would appoint them and promote them on merit? Somewhere somehow a politician or politicians has/have to be involved. I would rather locals vote for a local DA than give whomever the President or Governor is the power to appoint them all. Judges on the other hand are in some cases elected and in some cases appointed, depending — but because they’re effectively supposed to be impartial jurists the process hasn’t been as overtly political as often, or even especially frequently. That said, when appointed, many are there for the duration, which can be very concerning when an overtly non-impartial political judge gets the bench.
