Yes, it's always been reported as "a member of Wallace's crew" in everything I've seen.

I had completely missed that.

Trump claims he aced a cognitive test and the doctors were "very surprised".

Has he ever done anything that he doesn't then brag about and claim it was the best ever done by anyone?

He challenges Biden to do the same test, which would be interesting.

I love that he says the doctors were surprised and doesn't see that as them thinking he's batshit insane.

I'd like to see him unzip that flesh suit and he's actually that North Korean dictator who golfs 18 on an 18-hole course every time

Right?

The president went on to say that he took a cognitive test “very recently” in order to prove to those questioning his mental acuity that he was “all there.” (It appears Trump is talking about the Montreal Cognitive Assessment he took during his 2018 physical exam, which he passed.)

Does that mean he would fail it now?

I want to say yes. I think mental capacity can decline pretty rapidly.

If 2 years ago was "Very recently" I feel he's lost something.

Goya Foods faces a boycott because their CEO said something nice about Trump.

1. Not sure how anyone can praise Trump right now.
2. Sick and tired of the constant subversive attacks on the 1st amendment. "Say what I want you to say or you're the devil and need to be cancelled."
3. News reports were quick to talk about #BoycottGoya trending last night, but not a single one was written about #BuyGoya trending today. I wonder why?

1 - Srsly.
2 - Not an attack on the first amendment, only govt can do that.
3 - Cuz it's a tiny reactionary movement? But here's a story on it: https://nbc24.com/news/nation-world/goy ... or-boycott

Also, I see several celebrities on the #boycott side, none on the buy side so far.

At any rate... welcome to capitalism where people vote with their $$$

It 100% is and I get where you're coming from and agree with it, but this new trend is weaponized disagreement. People didn't get sued and/or fired in the past for having a different opinion. They do now.

It may not be an attack on the first amendment, but it is an attack on free speech.

Oh, they did, I assure you. It's just the wind that's changing. People have definitely been fired for opinions before recent years.

Sure.

I still say when the mob starts making the rules, they become the government.

Prove it.

Saw a pretty good question asked the other day to college kids: "Name a time when conservatives shut down a liberal speaker on a campus." (Granted, it'd have to be in the last 20-30 years.) None could name a single time, yet all started the conversation with the belief that liberals were more open minded.

Just google it. It's easy. Being gay for the longest time, only recently protected. Hippies being fired for being hippies. All sorts of people never hired to begin with based on differences of opinions.

I heard there used to be signs that said long haired freaky people need not apply

He throws out ideas, and spitballs, so I wouldn't take that too seriously. But... to whom would we sell it?
