Finasteride

It has just been revealed that Donald Trump takes a drug called Finasteride.  This medicine was originally developed, and still widely used, for treating benign enlarged prostate conditions, but was then found to be effective in preventing hair loss, which is apparently why Trump takes it.

A couple of remarks about this.  First, from the Washington Post:

"a recent study demonstrated changes in the levels of certain steroids in cerebrospinal fluid of men taking finasteride for hair loss. These steroids have been shown to influence brain function, and their presence may help explain the profound psychological changes such as depression and suicidality that have been associated with finasteride use."

And an enlarged list of potential side effects, from the Post Finasteride Syndrome Foundation:

"The most common persistent side effects of finasteride are loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, panic attacks, Peyronie’s disease, penile shrinkage, gynecomastia, muscle atrophy, cognitive impairment, insomnia, severely dry skin and tinnitus. These can last for years after stopping the drug."

Well, it might explain a lot.



Another Thought:  One of the possible side effects is insomnia.  Is that why he is always tweeting in the middle of the night?  And if so, doesn't that show that he is already suffering mental side effects from this drug?


Bolding by Green Eagle, just to highlight the symptoms that could interfere with the mental processes of a President.  I don't give a flying fuck if he has erectile dysfunction; I actually suspected that long ago.

You forgot to highlight "penile shrinkage". LOL 😃 But then, maybe it can't get much smaller.

This is useful information and needs to be widely spread. No one can welcome the thought of a President prone to panic attacks and cognitive impairment on top of the narcissistic disorder we already know about. And while it doesn't matter to us if he suffers from dongwilt or "shrinkage", just imagine how he would react if speculation about such things became commonplace. He'd work himself into such a fury of Tweeting in defense of the magnitude of his yuuuuge orange phallus that he might even slow down the pace of fascist executive orders a bit. Anything to keep the pressure up and force him to make his unhinged nature undeniable even to his supporters.

Well, there is that. You guys may have not noticed this, because I just added it at the end of the post, but another side effect of this drug is insomnia. Maybe that explains the tweeting at all hours of the night.

I've wondered why he is tweeting at 3 in the morning. The man is fucked up!

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
