I keep coming back to a quote by MacArthur about Roosevelt: "...a man who would never tell the truth when a lie would serve him just as well." I don't think DJT is an idiot; nor is he a genius. He's crafty, manipulative, and, at his age, still intelligent enough to retain a glib tongue. Given that his mental grasp of reality is highly questionable, I'd say we've never had a more dangerous President. Let him take all the cognitive tests he wants. That still doesn't mean he's a rational thinker.

Lies, stupidity, and ignorance are the central axes by which Trump and his administration function, and this web of chaos infects virtually every function of government, including even these health exams. Trump is absolutely dumb enough to think that taking and passing the MoCA is a great feat - if he's the one doing it, anyways. But do we even know for sure if he actually took it, much less passed it, or are we just relying on his word? Under Biden, the full Walter Reed health reports were published on the White House .gov site, but as far as I can tell, Trump makes the whole damned staff there sign NDAs and diddly squat is ever officially published. The other times he's apparently taken the MoCA were not even at the behest of Walter Reed, but rather just the White House Physician, and we all know how 'respectable' that position has been under Trump, so that could be a bunch of crap too. Frankly, I'm surprised something like MoCA would even be a part of any serious testing of the president - isn't it a whole team of dozen doctors and physicians? You'd think they'd be a little more involved than using just your standard single page assessment, and Walter Reed hasn't apparently ever administered or asked to administer the test to any president before. I really don't know: it's possible he's the one insisting on taking them because he's done them before and he's a giant manbaby showing off his kindergarten art drawings, it's possible the medical team think he's mad as a hatter and wanted him to, and it's possible that it literally wasn't even a part of the health exam at all. He could even just be getting confused because he apparently took one back in April with the White House Physician again (if that's even true). It's 1984 with this administration and he's a lying nutjob, so how do you not question literally every last thing that came out of his mouth? Until at least a single respectable and trustworthy source attests to Trump actually taking the test and passing it, you might as well just assume the whole thing is a big bag of lies and throw it all out, because right now all I'm seeing are liars flying off the handle as per usual and the actual decent people with their mouths firmly gagged.

trump's improbable ignorance is tedious for multiple reasons, but not least 'cause it compels normal people to fill in the logic and reason holes he leaves behind when he provides an explanation for getting a dementia test, imposing tariffs on brazil, or suggesting merrick garland should be investigated for the 2020 election fraud scheme. 'cause trump explanations don't make sense if you take him literal, even the folks at msnbc will reflexive fill in the gaps or massage trump explanations/excuses with something plausible. otherwise most any discussion o' trump would devolve into concluding that the President is an idiot, which while accurate is not particular constructive. that said, trump has a few patterns, and doubling down is one o' his most predictable. after trump were questioned and mocked about his 2018 dementia test braggadocio, am thinking most o' us thought it weren't gonna be the last we heard o' how fantabulous he were for acing the test. maybe not as funny as his ongoing and evolving war on windmills, but the pattern is similar. HA! Good Fun!

I confess that I didn't put much stock in Trump taking the test again: it's at least the third time he's taken it and bragged about it after the fact for reasons only understandable to the uniquely stupid person known as Donald J. Trump. Every time it's been administered, there's been the same sort of "the fact that a doctor forced(?) him to take it implies bad things about his mental state" media reaction to it, but like most "surely he's doomed now" headlines concerning Trump*, that unfortunately really just doesn't matter to anyone who didn't already care the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth times they read it. The amusement I got out of it was the irony of Trump conflating a cognition test with an IQ test, but it's not like we didn't already know the guy was dumb. *Everyone should know all too well by now that the only headline that will convince anyone of Trump's certain doom is the one that announces his actual literal death. Until then or maybe until the economy really explodes and we've got tens of millions of people demonstrating in the streets weekly, I'm afraid that he will unfortunately continue to get away with just about everything. Not that we should ignore everything in the interim, but we've clearly decided as a nation where we're going with this until we reach a real boiling point that actually gets through to the average news-disconnected moron in our great country of proud ignorance and inequality.

what on earth are you talking about? am genuine baffled. never did we reference something said by joe biden... or is this your reflexive whataboutism at play? serious, am having no idea what you could possible be talking 'bout. and pointing out that you provided an answer is equal meaningless. could tell us the reason doctors tested trump in 2018 for dementia were sun spots. suns spots as an explanation would indeed be a response, an answer. so what? am thinking part o' the problem is that you don't know how to make sense of a calendar. who was on the democrat ticket in january o' 2018? trick question. answer: nobody. as o' january 2018, andrew yang and one other guy had announced they would seek to run as democrats in the Presidential election, and biden were not one o' those two. trump never mentioned biden when he had his dementia test in January 2018... which is in part why we questioned whether you had bothered to actual read the article past the quote you used. wanna go back and look at this board circa january 2018? see how much discussion there is o' the democrat candidates for President in 2020, much less an assumption biden would be trump's opponent. you get it now? you provided an irrelevant answer. sun spots. trump's response about biden from your linked article is just as irrelevant as is sun spots. the notion trump got a dementia test to preemptive set himself apart from biden makes no sense, no matter how many different ways you repeat. feel free to strawman all you want, but bringing up biden ad nauseum is transparent futile and pointless. biden mental problems, which we lamented more than once, is irrelevant as to why trump a doctor administered a dementia test to trump in 2018, january of 2018. as to tds... you must be joking. am certain you ain't joking, but am trying to give you the benefit o' the doubt. lord knows why you would wanna bring up questions of evidence and truth telling. is a movie clip, but it is educational 'cause if we are talking 'bout evidence, the witness' propensity for telling falsehoods is always relevant. the deluge o' documented and confirmed trump lies is too significant to catalog on this board, but that improbable bloated ledger is prima facia admissible evidence if it is offered to impeach a witness' testimony. proof of past falsehoods is relevant when attempting to convince the finder o' fact (jury or judge,) that the witness's testimony should not be believed. as hard as it is to believe, sometimes legal rules is just codified common sense. your improbable need to give trump the benefit o' the doubt is the actual tds. given thousands o' examples o' trump lies about anything and everything, when confronted with a situation where trump mighta' lied to protect his "chronic narcissism," zor nevertheless finds trump claims convincing... in spite o' the calendar. sheesh. am thinking it is safe to say that the 224 lb trump lied about his weight recent and is known he has pressured doctors into lying for him in the past. is not just that trump lies routine, but that he lies about his health and well being and has conspired with doctors in the past to perpetuate the lies. so we got a pattern as well as a propensity for falsehood... even so, zor soldiers on with his tds? no lawyer would ever put trump on a witness stand, not evar, 'cause his propensity for falsehood would be relevant under cross examination. it would require no great skill by an attorney to convince any finder o' fact that trump testimony is functional worthless, particular if there were some personal benefit to trump in lying. can zor imagine why a chronic narcissist such as trump might lie about the reason a doctor tested him for dementia in JANUARY of 2018? am betting literal everybody other than zor can come up with a plausible reason trump might lie to cover up the reason for his JANUARY 2018 dementia test. am not sure why your father's doctor thought he should take a dementia test, but our father's doctor most certainty were not worried about joe biden. am betting that in near all cases when a doctor recommends that their patient respond to MoCA questions, the motivation is approximately the same: the doctor has concerns that their patient is cognitively impaired. trumps 2024 word salad explanation for why he were being tested for dementia is clearly aberrational... is not the typical reason a person is asked to submit to MoCA questions. that a chronic narcissist would want anybody to know they took that test is also suspect, but perhaps zor is speaking to us from the upside down? our father were a proud man and he were mortified that he were needing draw a clock and identify a giraffe. am having a hard time believing a chronic narcissist would wanna discuss their dementia test results. ironic eh? you asked "why" and you got a far better answer than you offered us. again, biden is irrelevant. look. at. a. calendar. wanting a dementia test in january of 2018 cause o' biden is an idiotic claim for reasons obvious to anybody who can figure out how to read a calendar. jesus. HA! Good Fun!

1.0.4 still didn't fix Inez not showing in the room. Milverstreet is turned as if speaking with someone but no Inez. If I complete his quest, he says "Thanks! Pity you didn't meet my operative" or something.

If I need something later in the story. DON'T LET ME SELL IT BEFORE I GET THERE IN THE STORY!!

After rushing a bit to get to this point on my second playthrough, it is not a bug that I could not use the Writ to get across the bridge, apparently that is intended. The bug was that I did not get the quest to cross the bridge (For Whom the Bridge Tolls) added to my quest log. The tragedy is that I'm guessing I could have found the arm and progressed the quest since getting the cousin there (Charlton) is actually a part of the quest. Basically it bugged out because I accidentally completed a part of the quest by sending Charlton to the bridge without actually accepting the quest (by my guess).

Shrug, right back at you. You asked the question of why, twice, you got the answer, twice second time with a direct quote- and you didn't like it, twice. Nobody else's fault but yours about that. Indeed, your response is highly reminiscent of what you'd expect from... Donald Trump insisting something is wrong because Sleepy Joe said it. I'm not one to take Trump at face value, but there is literally nothing to support your assertion- made twice- that Trump's doctors wanted him to take a cognition test. Nothing. His doctors don't say that. Trump didn't say that. He has a demonstrated history of demanding them to be taken previous and (allegedly) took them previous. He even got it being a cognition test rather than an intelligence one correct, initially. You might think it's silly trying to own Biden by passing a cognition test, I might think it's silly* but it's entirely in keeping with Trump's character over decades, and is something he demonstrably said he'd do and supposedly had already done more than a year ago. Again, the clearly in decline Biden couldn't be 'forced' to take one as you asserted Trump was. There is literally nothing to support you except it being Trump. You do actually have to come up with some evidence that Trump is lying besides his lips moving. Otherwise it's just Trump Derangement Syndrome and you can accuse him of quite literally anything- and whatever he says is evidence for your view. In this case everything is readily explainable by the one thing pretty much everyone except his absolute fanboys would agree Trump has- chronic narcissism. He was boasting about passing the test because Biden refused (or 'refused'), and because a load of people asserted he had dementia, and because he said he would and people would complain if he didn't. That's what he said, it makes sense from the perspective of a chronic narcissist, it's what he said he'd do more than a year ago; and there's literally no counter evidence provided. Disbelieving him him just because it suits you is an extraordinarily weak argument, even for you. Indeed, it's not really an argument at all. *not wholly so, after all Biden clearly was in decline and you got lots of people asserting Trump had dementia as well as a deflection from that. From Harris's recent comments you get the idea that she would have loved Biden to have taken one as well before deciding to stand again...

I can cause a crash at will on PC (Gamepass) by playing borderless window and either alt-tabbing to the desktop or pressing the Windows key. This is new since today's patch. It was working flawlessly for me yesterday and before.

It was fine before today's hotfix, but now it crashes every time I try to alt-tab or accidentally press the Windows key.

the domestic terrorist label problem predates 1/6 by a smidge am not suggesting false equivalency and you could find older posts from Gromnir where we warn 'bout the slippery slope potential o' the domestic terrorist label. is not a new problem... but am admitting our failure o' imagination pre trump. the scale and scope o' what steven miller and the other trump admin authoritarians is implementing we so did not foresee short o' contemporaneous with a major war or economic cataclysm. in times o' relative peace and prosperity we could not have predicted the american people would shrug off masked troops in the streets acting on an extra judicial basis to intentional cause panic among the population. earlier in the year, trump identified people vandalizing teslas as terrorists. antifa is now terrorists, and antifa membership is pretty much determined by the doj disliking your social media? possible drug runners, thousands o' miles away from the US and likely carrying cargo meant for europe is narco terrorists. next? but again, as much as we would like that it were true, the problem didn't start with trump and it sure won't end with him. just kidding. the gandhi quote might be misattributed, but am thinking it is axiomatic that our current american divisiveness ain't gonna get better anytime soon... and is no chance for improvement while so many believes they is justified in exacting retribution on wrongdoers. they deserve it, so is ok that they should suffer. HA! Good Fun!

Thank you for sharing

This appears to have been fixed with the latest patch. Thank you!

DJs threat to declare the mythical antifa as a terrorist organization got me to thinking about the future... when MAGA is declared a terrorist organization. He's laying the groundwork for that event. What was 1/6 if not a domestic terrorist act? Should be fun.

Sorry if I have bad grammar

I got to meeting Ruth, then decided to do the Auntie's Choice quests to get them to work together. I got the dialogue to start the team up and finished the Auntie's Choice side and Auntie Cleo even referenced that I had already done some quests for the Order but when I got back to Ruth I couldn't tell her that Auntie Cleo wanted to work together. All i can tell ruth is "I'd rather not make an enemy of Auntie, but I suppose there's no way around it." This seemingly locks me out of having them team up. I dont know what to do because I did literally everything I could to get them to work together. Any help is appreciated.

A website I saw said you get her upgrade kit from two different quests, not the graft quest. And when I spoke to her after completing the grafting one, I did not get any dialogue about upgrading her equipment. So not sure this is bugged.

This perk is bugged in multiple ways. One, sometimes when killing unaware humans, a heart is not harvested. Two, even when a heart is harvested, HP does not always increase. This may be related to the Treacherous flaw, which reduces Base HP by 25% (which should not affect Max HP, but this may just be bad wording), but in that case the heart should still give +1.5 HP instead of 0.

ya think? HA! am having a hard time taking you serious. trump wanted to be tested for dementia? his idea? the 224lb trump wanted to prove to self, prove to the world, that he were just as sound o' mind as he were o' body? alternative: mayhap the reason he mentioned it were 'cause the fact he got the test were recorded. Presidential records and all that. am having no idea what were the real reason why trump got the test, but is improbable biden figured into the calculus in January 2018. am s'posing that once trump took the test he could either find some way to hide the fact the test were administered, or he could try to spin the circumstances. as such, am seeing a relative obvious and plausible reason for trump mentioning it. admitted, hiding the fact the test were administered would not be unique in Presidential history; has happened numerous times in the past. however, trying to cover up scandals in the trump wh were a hit-or-miss proposition in 2018 as his staff were notorious for leaking and knowing that your co-conspirator were the pill-popping and alcoholic ronny jackson might have been cause for concern. heck for all we know, kellyanne conway found out the truth at which point trump woulda' suspected wapo or cnn would have the story w/i twenty-four hours? sure, we know that in 2025 trump coulda' had seal team 6 disappear ms. conway to keep her from spilling the news, but that weren't the case in january 2018. doesn't actual matter what were trumps' thoughts 'cause regardless it takes near zero imagination to picture a trump convinced o' his own ability to dr. mesmer willful obtuse maga faithful (and zor) into believing that there were nothing at all curious about his being the subject of a dementia test... 'cause how many other stoopidly bad situations has he successful spun? again, trump took the test in january 2018, so the biden explanation should immediately dissolve into insensibility for anybody paying attention... anybody but zor. ... and am wondering if you even bothered to read the rest o' your own linked article, which is pretty damning for trump. regardless, am amused anybody would find a gobbledygook bit o' word salad from a pathologically mendacious 224lb horse's mouth at all persuasive when there is a skeevy and self-serving explanation available. *shrug* in any event, as predicted, this become farce all too quick. HA! Good Fun!

I can also confirm this is happening on XBox Series X, although I had done the drones quest by accident when exploring the island before even visiting Milverstreet the first time. Inez disappeared after the first meeting, Milverstreet said "ignore her" on the quest turn-in even though she wasn't in the room, and I thought it was just a instance of "you'll meet her again later". Now I've done almost the whole island and Milverstreet wouldn't even give me the quest to win Westport, which is where I got looped into this bug. So it doesn't just break Inez... It has broken a whole series of quests.

Shrug. "why did doctors feel it were prudent to have trump take the MoCA?" or " but that fact is not actual relevant to the significance o' a doctor determining a MoCA were warranted" assumes- without evidence- that the doctor wanted it. It happened because Trump wanted it to. Maybe, just maybe, it being spelled out in an actual quote from the horse's mouth- Donald J Trump himself- might help? from April 12, 2025. He even got what the test was right, then. Sure, Trump could be lying about his motivations just because it's Trump and he lies. Chances are significantly higher that he was telling the truth- otherwise, why mention it?- and wanted it specifically because Biden didn't take one, as he stated. The chances of him being 'forced' to take one by his doctors are also shot to pieces by Biden not being forced to despite his obvious decline. Indeed, in some sources he is said to have refused to take one.

Can confirm - the hotfix did not fix the Inez bug.

Judge Blasts Border Patrol Boss Greg Bovino For Violating Excessive Force Order “Kids dressed in Halloween costumes walking to a parade do not pose an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer,” U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis told Bovino during a court hearing Tuesday morning. “They just don’t.” am having no idea what is the "block club chicago," or how trustworthy they is as sources, but am having read a couple stories which are near identical but are paywall protected. also, much o' the relevant info is quotes by bovino and ellis which am able to tentative verify via multiple sources. also, this effective vacates the earlier appellate ruling, so the original tro preventing national guard in portland remains in effect... though am forgetting the duration o' the original tro, so there could be a need for the original judge to reissue the tros. gives us a headache trying to keep all the troops in the streets cases separate. HA! Good Fun!
