Happy Friday. There are 221 days until the midterm elections. Trump wants his name on our money, Epstein survivors sue DOJ and the racists are every bit as racist as you thought.
Hey Mr. C., Can we get away with that? Has anyone looked into this brilliant idea?
If we can..I think I'll put together something like the postcard project...You know get a bunch of people together..with abundant sharpies available and we'll have at it.
Hey LM., Here's some money fun..A friend sent me this link to Britannica. He was wondering why Americans call dollars Bucks. Great question...right? And here is why Americans do that;
Sharpies are what I'm going to buy in bulk if Chump's name goes on currency, but I also shall ask Congress to do to the $1 bill what has been done to the penny.
You know JJM, Way back in the first term of the orange urinal cake, we kept hearing the same old shit. Like trump doesn’t mean what he says, or he won’t really do all the things he said, or let’s be reasonable and not act like trump. Or let’s write another letter. Or, well the courts will hold him accountable, Or let the process work, Or we can’t just go to Mar a lardo and GET all of the TOP SECRET documents that the orange urinal cake has. How would that LOOK. And on and on and on… As I shouted at the clouds that YES HE IS going to do and has done all the shit he has said and will do…and here we are.
And he has nukes. Let’s hope I’m wrong about that. But he has nothing to lose, nothing.
He's going to be leaving this mortal coil soon enough. And apparently he wants maximum damage to just about everything.
Note eight: In my opinion, Wikipedia is highly reliable. I get a Monday through Friday post called NowIKnow.com. It's free, if you don't want to donate. The author relies heavily on Wikipedia. He's a super smart guy, trained as a lawyer, but doing tech work. He doesn't like being a lawyer. Neither did my brother.
Note nine: So what's the chance that if Barron enlists, he gets a desk job, and maybe a rank, at the Pentagon?
Note 10: My formal name is Alfred G Jonas MD. I'm a psychiatrist. I've been one for over 48 years. "Cognitive tests" do not include mathematical equations. No one aces them. They're designed to be failed. The question is how much can the subject get right before he or she fails. I always say it's like pole vaulting. The goal is to keep vaulting higher, until you fail. No one never fails.
"Not-so-funny money": I use cash often enough. Frankly, I would like to have a note that has the clown's face on it, and have it not be accepted, so I could take it to the bank and demand an image vendors would accept.
"Git 'em": Bondi and the other blond (Blanche) said they were breaking the law? That confession sounds like it needs to wind up in court.
"Racist scum": OK, I was wrong. The clown is racist. Or Pete thinks he is. Or Pete is racist, and is attributing it to the clown.
"Today's clips," paragraph one: I'm begging you. I'm on my knees, OK? Would you PLEASE stop writing "President Donald Trump?"
Psychologist here…💯 on the money with your cognitive test verdict. The a$$hole keeps repeating this crap & media people do not followup. Kudos to Community Notes!
Dr J (I'm Dr J, too), I just wanted to thank you for the support and back-up. The vast majority of people don't know what you and I do, because they weren't taught and trained as you and I were, and they don't have experience with this. I have loads. I don't know about you. How many years? Mostly testing, or mostly therapy? For me it's by far mostly therapy, with some prescribing. But one of my mantras is that in the mental health professions, the two most fundamental things the professional has to decide are 1) what makes people tick, and 2) how and why does treatment work. The professional's theories about those two things determine whether a lot of prescribing gets done, or a lot of therapy gets done, or a lot of testing gets done. The latter helps determine what the problem/diagnosis is, but it doesn't suggest what the treatment should be.
Dr J- I have 40+ years, have had stretches of testing, but then mostly therapy as well as academic teaching, workshops and business consults. Completely in agreement with you.
I've done some teaching in various settings over the decades, but now, it's just individual and couples' treatment. I always had an outside office until the pandemic hit in early '20, so I got out of my lease, and I worked from home. It was all virtual then. But once I got vaccinated, and patients did, too, I now just see them in my house. That's 1) if it's convenient for them to come here, and 2) if they're vaccinated. (I won't let them come here if they're not. Then, I rely on virtual.) If I know someone well enough, and they're too far away, and don't want to do virtual, I just do audio phone.
That's great that you're doing a lot of teaching and consulting.
Note 10: He is a patently unstable moron. How many cognitive screens have you had? As others elsewhere have pointed out, if we assume the clown is not lying, which is an insane assumption, why would he, or anyone, need three cognitive screens? The obvious reason is that he is getting demented, and we want to track the extent and rate of advancement of dementia. An important area of examination is memory. If he thinks cognitive screens include math equations, and if he has the impression that he "aced" these screens, then his memory is terrible. Although it's fair to say that he could have gotten every question wrong on these imagined screens, but if the examiner, who would have been a psychologist or psychiatrist, administered the screens properly, and did not give feedback, then he might, in theory, have thought he got them all right. He didn't. They're constructed to reach the point of failure.
Just to give you an example, if I screened you in the usual way, I would ask you to repeat three numbers after I tell them to you. Assuming you can do that, I'll ask again with four numbers. If you're still successful, I'll give you five numbers. And we'll keep going until you fail. If you fail at eight numbers, I'll give you eight different numbers, just to be sure. If you fail eight numbers twice, then your limit was seven. But what I want to know is where you fail.
I was just trying to make a point about the importance of failing the test. Intact people can commonly repeat about seven or eight numbers forward. The test also includes asking the subject to repeat numbers in reverse order -- if I say 2, 7, you say 7, 2 -- and people can repeat fewer numbers in reverse order than in the order stated. So something like five numbers, or maybe six, would be common in reverse order. But we still push until they get it wrong. It's not a value judgment. It's just to know someone's ability to perform the tasks.
From your other comment, I agree you're a smartass, and that leaves two issues. One is that you're clever and have a sense of humor, and the other is whether, in fact, you can do it. You can claim until the cows come home that your grandchildren can't read an analog clock, but you can. So after the examiner gets done rolling her eyes, you can stop wasting your time and hers, and just draw the clock.
I am clever and have a sense of humor - that's why I read Adam and Sam! Grandchild and young co-workers - cannot read an analog clock - nor do a lot of them know what "I'll pick you up at quarter of six" means - they understand "I'll pick you up at 5:45." I also heard recently that they are teaching palmer penmanship again in public schools so that they'll be able to actually sign legal docs when they're older. The times they are a-changing. Nice chatting with you.
Is "senile old fool" clinical enough? By math, I'm assuming that drawing the clock stymied him.
I go to Wikipedia every day for something -- if I have the luxury of time, I can get lost there, opening 30 pages at a time. They are the best (right now). I'm saying that quietly, because the Chaos Agents might be listening . . . they can't stand anything they can't ruin.
If he thinks that drawing a circle representing a clock, and showing hands that would indicate a particular time, is a math equation, then he's in some untraceable orbit.
I just took that frigging test - had to remember the five words (hated it), draw a three-dimensional figure (groaned loudly - couldn't do it in high-school math class) . . . but had fun with the "draw me a clock at 10 after 11." So, since I'm a smartass from Philly, I drew a square and put 11:10 in the square. The doc was like, no silly, an analog clock. I was like, ya shoulda said that! I drew a circle, then asked her if I had to draw ALL the numbers or could I just draw an 11, a 10, and the arrow. I got an eye roll. BUT, I did tell her that neither my grandson or any of the COLLEGE kids I worked with could tell time using an analog clock - nor could they read my handwriting - I had to print everything for them! They're gonna have to modernize that test! LOL
you said "Sam has a colonoscopy this morning so please send good thoughts and also maybe a pizza for later. Also, please make sure you stay on top of this shit"
You shouldn't say "colonoscopy" and "shit" in the same paragraph. Don't give him any ideas. :)
You know, I've been thinking it may not be so bad if he signs all the paper money. I hope it gets into circulation before he croaks. Then he'll get to enjoy the multitude of ways people will find to express their feelings BEFORE he shuffles off his mortal coil. Sorta like a preview of life post-Trump.
when in my early 80s and losing the occasional word, I asked neurologist for test - and was unhappy - draw a clock, identify a lion, repeat these five words - it's a test to see if you're gaga, not for those early slippages (now late 80s, soon 90, and hanging in there)
hah, thanks for only somewhat unsettling phrase...PS the other day I couldn't remember my last name (well, it's one of half a dozen and the one i never use, but still...)
Just read Sam's comment if you don't feel safe to be out protesting. Jump in the car and drive by protesters in the street & honk and then repeat. (In Tucson we will all be lined up and down streets in numerous areas). Protesters love it and you are doing your part too!!!! So glad I no longer use cash!!! I absolutely could not stand looking at that gaud awful sig. Can the UN Human Rights council even trust an investigation that comes out of this Regime?
A 14 year old running for governor seriously couldn't do worse than the 79 year old toddler we have in the White House. In fact, he's probably smarter, would do a much better job, doesn't wear a diaper ,throw food or need participation trophies.
Lookin forward to standing on a corner in Hudson Fl to show my sexy patriot face! Next big one, I hope to be back in Michigan, for! But who knows! We have a Pasco trifecta going, with protesting happening for two hours then moving to another site! Unfortunately, I developed Lupus this year and have to kinda play vampire! Not sure if I can stay in the sun that long! Do what we can, right?
If Trump actually gets his name on our currrency I will redact it on every piece I come across. And with a damn Sharpie.
Same!
Same here.
That or add some verb after his name!
Hey Mr. C., Can we get away with that? Has anyone looked into this brilliant idea?
If we can..I think I'll put together something like the postcard project...You know get a bunch of people together..with abundant sharpies available and we'll have at it.
Yes, you can. For years, I stamped every bill I got with the words "Money Isn't Speech". It's legal.
Hey LM., Here's some money fun..A friend sent me this link to Britannica. He was wondering why Americans call dollars Bucks. Great question...right? And here is why Americans do that;
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Why-Is-a-Dollar-Called-a-Buck
History can be very fun.
Let's do Art on greenbackx,!!!!
🤣👍🏼
Sharpies are what I'm going to buy in bulk if Chump's name goes on currency, but I also shall ask Congress to do to the $1 bill what has been done to the penny.
What a great idea! I'll do it too!! Not that I carry cash but I do carry a 20 for emergencies.
Note #2 - Colon cancer survivor here, so fingers crossed for Sam! The prep's a bitch, but the drugs are delish.
Note #5 - How TF did a convicted felon vote????????
Hey Ms. M.,
You are brilliant…maybe the orange urinal cake has committed voter fraud by mail.
“Most felons who have served their sentences — including parole and probation —
and have paid all their fines, restitution, and fees can vote in Florida elections.”
More here at FloridaLaw:
https://www.findlaw.com/voting/my-voting-guide/can-felons-vote-in-florida.html
(of course even if he has committed fraud, so what?)
You got a lot of info there Adam.
This part...But ain’t that what they’re supposed to be doing like every goddamn day?
I'm holding firm no matter what this asshole says it dies. FUCK YOU SCHUMER!
WHY wait till trumps shit goes this far? When so many Americans are hurt or killed or having a hard as fuck time to make ends meet.
Fuck all the flip floppers.
As far as Sam - GOOD LUCK Buddy.
(Ouch) Lol
It actually doesn’t hurt. You’re asleep. The icky part is the prep.
Lol just the idea, I suppose.

He's going to be leaving this mortal coil soon enough. And apparently he wants maximum damage to just about everything.
NO KINGS...OR LUNATICS!
Deep evil intentions. On a video I saw, he had said 'I'm never happy'.
So no matter how much damage he does he still won't fill that void.
A massive heart attack can't come fast enough, io.
Or a little blood clot 🤷🏼♀️

Hey FJ,: Note 8. Did not know any of that.
Note 9: A very real and frightening thought.
Note 10: Much appreciated info...so the very stable genius... might not be. LOL
And lastly...YES, please Adam & Sam adopt a new name for the orange urinal cake.
We could have a contest and all the SP's could pick the one we can all live with.
NO KINGS....

I’m not sure that telling us Sam has a colonoscopy and to “stay on top of this shit” belong in the same paragraph. 😂
It was definitely LOL!
Good point WB...Ewe.
you said "Sam has a colonoscopy this morning so please send good thoughts and also maybe a pizza for later. Also, please make sure you stay on top of this shit"
You shouldn't say "colonoscopy" and "shit" in the same paragraph. Don't give him any ideas. :)
Good luck to Sam, and you have a wonderful weekend Adam.
Omg… friend sent this one!

Then he'll get to enjoy the multitude of ways people will find to express their feelings BEFORE he shuffles off his mortal coil. Sorta like a preview of life post-Trump.
I saw where someone posted everyone taking a big sharpie and blacking his name out since he likes his name heavily redacted
LOL JJ....
when in my early 80s and losing the occasional word, I asked neurologist for test - and was unhappy - draw a clock, identify a lion, repeat these five words - it's a test to see if you're gaga, not for those early slippages (now late 80s, soon 90, and hanging in there)
Happy upcoming birthday.
Now you know why it's called benign senile forgetfulness. You forget the occasional word, because you're in your 80s. And...?
hah, thanks for only somewhat unsettling phrase...PS the other day I couldn't remember my last name (well, it's one of half a dozen and the one i never use, but still...)
Bingo
I'm sure that for Trump subtracting 7 from 100 would be considered difficult and a high equation. He's not lying on this one!
After your colonoscopy Sam, eat and drink up! ♥️
Hope the colonoscopy went well, Sam. Good on you for getting one! The prep is the worst!
I thought about using a sharpie to cross out his name on new dollars but my sharpie will be ready to write
…. Pedophile by his name…
or maybe I’ll cross it out and write OBAMA in big beautiful capital letters🤣
….so many choices🤔
And why would they be making more money if we are not solvent?
Just read Sam's comment if you don't feel safe to be out protesting. Jump in the car and drive by protesters in the street & honk and then repeat.
