The Long Road Out

My ex for instance. Trump, who swims in the deepest putrid self-reflecting pools. A few others. People who just want the spotlight. Any spotlight. For those in similar situations—join with me in remembering: 1. Past memories are ruined. You can’t heal from them. 2. You can’t have your own present when a performer is manipulating you. There’s no happy compromise for now. 3. The future—you’re kidding, right? Why waste your future on a fraudulent and depreciating asset? Change the locks. Hit delete. Save your beautiful self. Share all that previously wasted love with someone who will be there when you’re in trouble again.

Look at our moron go---he passed a “count backwards in increments of seven” test and he thinks he’s a genius!   At exactly 12:35 in the morning, unable to sleep, the President of the United States went on Truth Social to announce that he had scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on what he called a “high difficulty” cognitive test proving his “extreme intelligence.” But the test he was bragging about, the MOCA, is not an IQ test. It is a dementia screening tool that healthy adults are expected to pass without difficulty. Healthy, confident leaders do not spend their Saturday nights bragging that they passed a dementia screen and calling it genius.   Reese points out that this is the fourth time he’s taken the same test, with the same questions.  He’s 120 for 120!    But he can’t remember the first three exams.  Oops.  F on that one, Don.  Dimwit.
