Paramount had an open and shut case regarding the 60 minutes lawsuit, and yet they folded. We don't live in normal times.

When the Federal Government controls licensing, and the licensing bodies have been stuffed with Trump appointees, the extortion is easy, especially when Mike Johnson has effectively mothballed Congress indefinitely and handed over his authority to his master while Mad King Donald does what he pleases.

Missed this earlier. The intent is clear: an 'Enabling Act' that takes all effective power away from Congress and gives Trump the power to do as he pleases, which makes Johnson's mothballing Congress make even more sense. They've obviously been reading the (German) manual.

And the pharmaceutical company requires supervision and approvals from the FDA, which is ultimately controlled by RFK and Trump. We.Don't.Live,In.Normal.Times.

I was simply highlighting that this was picked up by the press (and there are many references to it).

Well, it's a start, even if it's only because they think their coffee has got too pricey.

What I missed here is that this needs to go through Congress, as only they have the 'power of the purse' (as long as Trump lets them). So it's probably a way for the less crazy Republican senators to pretend they are pushing back for the sake of their re-election prospects.

Shows how he just doesn't understand this stuff (is not very clever). Tere can be no such thing as a "very hard IQ test". It's a measure of IQ so hard questions on a particular test just means for a given IQ you need fewer correct answers.
And as others have said, dementia testing is completely different from IQ testing.
He was probably told the nature of the test and 5 mins laster had forgotten what he was told ...

Or maybe they told him it was an IQ test so that he wouldn't throw ketchup at them. I very much doubt that anyone would have the courage to tell him that they were monitoring the progress of his dementia.
