Trump rode golf cart while G7 leaders walked through Sicily

President Trump chose to ride in a golf cart while his foreign counterparts took a walk through Taormina, Sicily, on Saturday during the Group of Seven summit.

The Times of London reported the six other world leaders — from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan — walked 700 yards to take a group photo at a piazza in a hilltop town. The U.S. leader decided to wait until he could get a golf cart.

Trump was late for the photo, but joined the other world leaders during the walk down from the piazza.

During that time, he NEVER asked for a gulf cart because he could not keep up with his peers .. as Trump did when the G7 walked a short distance together. Kerry does not have to bully doctors to declare him physically fit.

Trump has used that accident to attack Kerry often - in addition to complaining about the Iran deal and the climate accord -- both major diplomatic achievements that Kerry was key on.

Let's say 150 in the rest of the torso and legs.

And 6 oz in the cranial area (roughly .17 kg).

For an older person, he's probably experiencing shrinking of his frontal cerebrum (natural). But since that area isn't critical to his thinking process he should be more worried about the hippocampus and amygdala - both of which atrophy without stimulation and proper life-styles.

Since his "doctors" say he's in excellent health, I need to worry about those doctors.

which is mostly a stereotype .

but in Trump's case he really does seem intimidated by other men . remember his brushing off dandruff from Macron ? he claimed Conor Lamb was slightly younger than he was and that he was better looking than Lamb. there is a fucking 40 years age difference. there is no slightly about it .

his anger at Comey, Mueller etc.

and of course the biggest is Obama in which case him being black just made him even more jealous .

remember when he pushed some world leaders out of the way so he can be out front.

66. He reminds me of one my dogs, she has Separation Anxiety
Sat May 5, 2018, 03:34 AM
May 2018

She is a stray that I took in, after a couple of weeks I realized why she was abandoned. It's not really that hard to deal with the problem when it's a dog behavior (once you understand it and get used to it). As for Donald, please imagine what every you can and then expect it. It's working for me most of the time

Dog Tip: Reducing Separation Anxiety
Separation anxiety, like fear aggression and phobias, is a fear-based behavior. Harsh punishments, yelling, ostracizing and standard obedience training will not work to cure separation anxiety. Punishment will make it worse by raising the dog's overall anxiety and thereby contributing to the problem.

Larry Lachman is a people and pet counselor who has developed the Structured Family Therapy program to rebalance relationship and treat behavior problems. The following separation anxiety guidance comes from his book, "Dogs On The Couch."

Instead, Lachman recommends owners implement a separation anxiety program that includes the following practices.

* Keep arrivals and departures low-key. When arriving home, only give the dog attention after he is calm.

* Do not respond when the dog demands attention. Ignore attention-seeking behaviors.

* Only give attention during times when the dog is not actively seeking attention, such as when lying down calm (snip,)

Devin Nunes wants the FBI to arrest him. Kerry, that is. No, I'm not making that up.


Devin Nunes Calls for John Kerry to Be Arrested By the FBI: ‘Send In the G Men’:

The chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is calling for former Secretary of State John Kerry to be the very first person every arrested under a constitutionally dubious 1799 law.

Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) made his demand to imprison the former Massachusetts Democrat under the Logan Act, which could theoretically result in three year in federal prison.

The allegations followed a new Boston Globe report on former Secretary of State Kerry working to save the Iran nuclear deal.
via Alternet


Nunes is apparently losing his mind over a report in the Boston Globe.
