Haven't watched the video, but honestly, the most surprising part of that quote for me is that he seems to have correctly used the word "amorphous"

[–] athairmor 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Except it sounds like he’s talking about energy—as in power for equipment like a stove. Energy isn’t amorphous at all. There’s pretty clear types, sources and distribution methods.

Either he’s misusing “amorphous” or he doesn’t understand energy.

~~Either~~ he’s misusing “amorphous” ~~or~~ and he doesn’t understand energy.

[–] shalafi 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He likely meant "ubiquitous". Then again, with the wavy hands...

For those that know, is it normal for dementia-like diseases to drop cognition this fast? Is exhaustion exacerbating it?

Nails amorphous, gets the concept of stove wrong.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

He just saw the Matrix. He meant to say "a Morpheus".

I love how uncomfortable the fan is. Never meet your heroes, eh fucknut?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"Fan," isn't that the guy that got arrested in the Carolinas for being and armed militia and targeting FEMA workers? Or did that guys mug shot just happen to look just like this guy

[–] fox2263 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Now he smells and hears the shit. Maybe he will think”hmm maybe they’re right”. We can only hope.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Never happen. Best case scenario is "maybe I'm not into politics anymore"

He just wanted to steal glances at hot lady. They don't usually let him get that close

[–] CatZoomies 15 points 3 months ago (4 children)

The “hot lady” is Sage Steele acting as moderator.

Trump kept calling her Paige. She chose to ignore those multiple mistakes.

You just love to see it. While asked about cognitive decline, Trump responded with these gem quotes such as “I’ve got no cognitive.” As well as stating he “aced two cognitive tests, no one’s ever done that before.”

I love how the guy hears this insanity, immediately looks down at the ground, like "uh oh" and then over at the woman like "you heard that too, right?"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

I laughed out loud at his reaction

“Wait… is this guy an idiot??”

[–] meliodas_101 33 points 3 months ago (14 children)

What is he talking about again ?

[–] yemmly 46 points 3 months ago (3 children)

He’s talking about how energy is a stove, if you make donuts.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (4 children)
[–] yemmly 14 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Maybe if you don’t make donuts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Energy is a truck if you transport donuts?!?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

My love for you is like a truck berserker

Where are the science memes people when you need them

[–] AA5B 4 points 3 months ago

Picture of a stove?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

I don't know if he even knows for sure

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He is trying to say that we use energy (presumably he is talking specifically about fossil fuels) for everything and in ways that people may not even realize it. He is saying that without fossil fuels society can't function.

[–] AA5B 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Quite a thorough job of sane-washing here

"I've made a huge mistake"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He almost sounds like he's going to start talking about auras and spiritual healing, but it quickly turns into getting a donut delivery

[–] Granite 5 points 3 months ago

He’s manifesting donuts.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

I'm impressed, to be honest, "amorphous" is probably the biggest word I've ever heard him use.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Mr. Finite Battery Heart aficionado at his best. Ugh.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

It's like he he's Bruce Lee, but really he just wants a donut.

[–] uebquauntbez 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

With Obama care he'd have his 24/7 day care for free already.

This is the classic dementia "word salad". I can sort of understand and follow the thread of what he was trying to say but to most observers it's going to be a series of intelligible words that add up to have no meaning.

You just need to read it in Bill Nye's voice.
