(10,667 posts)I've never understood why that is done, to tell you the truth. Always get these OPs with the same tweet text posted 2, 3, even 4 times.

(9,115 posts)I like to be in the know, despite the old computer, os, etc. But when I can't see the tweet discussed, and can't get context from the discussion, I just back out of the thread. No crying.

(958 posts)While DU is not blocked for them, Twitter is, and they can't read the complete posts unless the text is copied.
gristy
(10,667 posts)Say something like "I can't see posted tweets when I'm reading DU at work! Could you please unblock them?"
Threaten to quit if they don't fix it! Make it the employer's problem!

(14,494 posts)Many of his speeches sure look like manic episodes.....
Who the hell could sit and listen to 67-minutes of his rambling bullshit and lies?
ProudMNDemocrat
(16,794 posts)Because he is incapable of an original thought, let alone how to answer a question.

(14,494 posts)"Joe! You've told me that 10 times already during this call"......
I remember one guy that was bipolar that had trained himself to recognize his manic episodes almost as if a timer had gone off. He would stop his ranting almost instantly and usually apologize, then allow the meeting to go on. Some others I knew I unfortunately had no choice but to just hang up the phone after say.....and hour. I guess I'm too easy and was raised to be courteous.

(7,277 posts)Amphetamines produce similar symptoms to Bipolar mania: 'She'd never taken speed before - told her her life story in triplicate'.
KY_EnviroGuy
(14,494 posts)Never used the stuff but makes me wonder about some others I've known.
crazytown
(7,277 posts)depending on the dose, and the amphetamine, the by products can literally dissolve the brain. Excess dopamine can resolve into hydrogen peroxide - not in therapeutic doses - more like over doses.

(14,494 posts)Or, just "running off at the mouth".
And there was another one the old men used: "if you ran off at the rear end like you do from your mouth, you wouldn't live an hour".
Good old clean country humor......
Hekate
(90,829 posts)KY_EnviroGuy
(14,494 posts)But heck, he has Walter Reed and a his own personal physician. You would think he would be the picture of health.....
Seems like he could get anything he wants. Executive order?.....
I'm sure they're pulling some bullshit to keep him glued together.

(871 posts)His repetition is not him having a psychotic episode-Period.
KY_EnviroGuy
(14,494 posts)No one here really knows tRump's true mental condition and he many have his doctors fooled.
Not possible even for professionals from afar, as his history is unknown and it's not published for sure what drugs he's using.
We certainly do have a long list of symptoms, though.
