Is that 'MTU' as in 'Michigan Technological University'?

OCU

Trust me, I'm not objecting to this (we used to live in Michigan and we still have lots of family and friends back there), it's just t we've now been reduced, as a nation, to accepting hand-outs from places that a lot of people out there, particularly those who have traditionally supported Donald Trump, would consider as being 3rd world or even worse, perhaps even one of those S###hole countries that Trump is so fond of disparaging.

This is the big endorsement that Trump has been waiting for...

Note that my comment above was based on my recollection of this item from a month ago:

That test is not only used when diagnosing dementia or Alzheimers, it's also used, as was done in my case, to make sure that there were no problems resulting from the heart surgery. They were concerned about blood clots forming and this is part of how they determine that no damage was done. I had to do physiological tests as well, such as walking a straight line, standing on one foot, touching my nose with my finger while my eyes were closed, squeezing the doctor's hand, etc.

Biden gave quite a well received speech yesterday after touring a factory in Pennsylvania. Of course, Trump attacked him later on Faux News because Biden was wearing a mask while he was on the factory floor talking with the employees.

Has Trump called the Supreme Court Justices "stupid" yet?

No, but he's referred to their ruling as another hoax.

OCU

I took the Montreal Cognitive Assessment when I had my heart valve replaced. You take it before surgery and then you take it again before you're discharged from the hospital. You than take again at your 30 day and 90 day follow-ups. And while it might look easy, there are sections that can be a bit tricky like being given at list of 10 names and then 5 minutes later being asked to repeat back as many of those names as can you remember. Being shown a sketch and asking you to draw it, and then 5 minutes later being asked to draw the same sketch again only this time they don't show it to you, you have to do it from memory.

BTW, there is no 'acing' the test. It doesn't work like that. Granted, there is a threshold that one needs to reach to be considered OK, but I suspect that very few people ever gets every segment of it 100%. I mean, there's things like while looking at a picture, describe what you think is happening. There is no right or wrong answer, they are just testing whether you can form rational thoughts or not, as well as how aware you are at perhaps some nuances in the picture.

OCU

But he has added another new word to our vocabulary: "CAIGHT"...

OCU

I just heard that Trump referred to today's Supreme Court rulings as hoaxes.

Apparently Trump has NO idea whatsoever what that word even means.

We have a granddaughter in Texas who, when she was in the 7th grade (she'll be a high school sophomore this Fall), as part of a special program for high achievers (run by Duke University) that she was part of, took the high school SAT exams. Now she didn't 'ace' them, but she did do well enough that the people running the program said that if she had been a graduating senior, she would have probably been accepted at most major universities. And at the end of her freshman year, she already had a 4.6 GPA.

OCU

It is absurd for universities to expect student to pay @ $100,000 a year in tuition costs for on-line classes. At that point, the only thing being paid for is the prestige of the university pedigree. But, obviously, for some prestige intoxicated people, that is all that matters.

And for those "prestige intoxicated people" who've already spent a lot more than that to fake their kid's school records to get them into one of these "pedigree" universities, the $100k is nothing. However, it's not like the old days when all it took was slipping a few hundred to the smart guy in your class who was "good at taking tests".

And now Barbara Res, former executive vice president of the Trump Organization, responsible for building projects, including Trump Tower, is contemplating writing her own tell-all. She's already written an autobiography, but the the other night, during an interview on MSNBC, she alluded to writing a new book detailing Trump's business activates. When asked if it would be out before the election, she winked and said "maybe".

Wait until Trump loses the election and he blames "ANTIFA/Whoever" and these same militia idiots convince themselves that they're saving the nation from socialism and left-wing fascist anarchists.

OCU

To his really hard core 'base', the sin that they will bemoan the longest will be Trump's failure to "Make America White Again".

OCU

Unfortunately, Trump can't be replaced before January. I fear that he's going to go full scorched-earth if he loses the election. Trump could do a lot of damage between November 4th and January 20th.

OCU

Perhaps, but as part of their "We will do whatever it takes to get reelected" plan, if that's what it was going to take, so be it. From Trump's point of view, considering how much there was to be made, what's a few thousand lives, particularly if it's mostly poor and colored people as well as those who are too old and sick to even be counted on voting any more.

OCU

Of course, they'll make the argument, like that militia group in Oregon last month, that they scared away the George Soros sponsored ANTIFA caravans of black looters, which only existed in the minds of the right-wing, white supremacist militia members who showed-up armed to the teeth. They are too far gone to accept the notion that someone has been playing to their most base instincts, and it was so easy, just a few posts on social media and suddenly the world is coming to an end if they don't get in their pick-up trucks and drive halfway across the country with their Confederate flags and AR-15's.

OCU

Owning slaves is one thing, which while it might be seen as reprehensible by any sort of modern standard, it was the idea that the Confederacy chose to destroy the United States in order to protect this institution, that is where we draw the line, history-wise. It's the people who, when they had the chance to stand with the country, chose the route of treason, those are the ones who do NOT deserve any sort of honor. As for those who came before the Civil War, while we must not forget their history, they at least didn't try to destroy America.

The Trump campaign, and to a lesser extent, the RNC, has left unpaid bills all over the country since Trump decided to run for the presidency in 2015.

Actually it was the NC governor that created the situation, which obviously you are unaware.

By informing Trump and the RNC that North Carolina intended to follow the CDC guidelines as they apply to large gatherings.

I wonder what Trump will have to say about 'Law & Order' in those 12 counties where the sheriffs are going to be ignoring the law. Isn't that anarchy? According to what Trump said last night, this disdain for the rule of law is the result of leftest-socialistic theories being taught in our public schools. I suspect that these lawless counties is NOT what Trump had in mind when he was throwing out the 'red meat' last night.
