Is it possible that * is being medicated in much the same manner

[madokie]

as raygun might have been. in '79 raygun seemed to be in total control of his thinking to only be a few short years later appearing to have lost it all. I watched a clip here yesterday showing the contrast between the Texas Governor candidate to the presidential candidate to the declining antics of a man gone mad. Is it possible that he is being controlled through chemicals? :shrug::scared:

[JHB]

1. Yep. Medicated by Jack Daniels...

Ever since he tried to kill himself with a pretzel...

[DanCa]

2. Not JD

He probably drinks ripple or colt 45. Hell he probably lives off of colt 45.

Hi Danca

I loved your article ie: Let me walk!

:) :thumbsup:

[DanCa]

7. Thank you OhioBlues.

It's nice to be back. :hug:

12. Yes it is a shame that a person has to beg for what should be a given.

As we discover new ways to help the ones in need and then not do them it is, in my opinion, criminal. Whether they believe it is the right thing or not someone else maybe does. You can bet that if it would help one of his friends or family there would have never been any questions. A perfect example of why religion should never be a part of government. The two are not compatable in being at the helm.

6. I believe I read somewhere his drink of choice is Jim Beam

but a guy like him probably will drink about anything as long as there is some alcohol in it. To be washed down with a swig of 'pure rocky mountain spring water' labeled as coors beer.

10. Well, thanks...

for ruining my love affair with Jim Beam.

13. I promise I'll make it up, just don't get shoot me yet.

Welcome to the big tent of DU, the home of the brave, the lair of the wise and the envy of most.

15. I think, if he's drunk on anything, he's drunk on power. He's not

running for office this year and has dropped the thin facade of pretending to be a caring, intelligent human being.

4. I guess that was the time pickles had to use the dreaded right cross

to dislodge the pretzel but to her susprise, she just wanted to get one good one in before the end. Is that the time?

[DanCa]

9. Right Cross

That says it all right there doesn't it?

8. My Thoughts Exactly.

Imagine what a mess we'd be in if the Handlers sobered him up and actually did let him do any Presidentin' ...

:scared:

3. Put your tin foil hat on

because I think it's a good possibility.

He is almost childlike in some of his actions. Rubbing the shoulders of German Chancellor Angela Merkel was totally inappropriate. His critical thinking skills (thanks M Mc) are nil and he just thinks about himself and HIS needs constantly (his obsessional, wild bore barbeque comments). I really doubt there is a sentient bone in his body which makes me believe he's a sociopath. They may be medicating him for several reasons.

5. Diet Coke AND...

Jack ?
Rum ?
Oxycotin ?

11. I think we're looking at different mental problems.

Reagan's descent into Alzheimer's was probably hastened by the assassination attempt. Physical trauma can have that effect. In the hospital, he supposedly asked someone (Nancy?) "what do I do now?" A family member asked me the same question after a trauma--& her condition (only suspected before) worsened dramatically. But Reagan still had a dignified presence--that acting experience helped.

I don't know the basis of Bush's problems. Some have posited that Ma Bush didn't realize until later that she ought to cut back on the martinis during pregnancy. When running for governor, he impressed me as a half-bright fratboy. No real intelligence--but he could at least string some coherent sentences together & managed to behave decently in public. He's definitely gone downhill. Of course, adjusting medication can be difficult--especially when the patient continues to decline.

16. If you remember Poppy Bush was using Halcion

I don't recall why he was taking this drug, but I do remember the press bringing it up.
Perhaps Mad king Boy George is also taking this drug. This is considered a sleep aide. Maybe he has to take this in order to sleep at night since he obviously is a murdering war profiteer.

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Halcion.

More common side effects may include:
Coordination problems, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, light-headedness, nausea/vomiting, nervousness
Less common or rare side effects may include:
Aggressiveness, agitation, behavior problems, burning tongue, changes in sexual drive, chest pain, confusion, congestion, constipation, cramps/pain, delusions, depression, diarrhea, disorientation, dreaming abnormalities, drowsiness, dry mouth, exaggerated sense of well-being, excitement, fainting, falling, fatigue, hallucinations, impaired urination, inappropriate behavior, incontinence, inflammation of the tongue and mouth, irritability, itching, loss of appetite, loss of sense of reality, memory impairment, memory loss (e.g. traveler's amnesia), menstrual irregularities, morning "hangover" effects, muscle spasms in the shoulders or neck, nightmares, rapid heart rate, restlessness, ringing in the ears, skin inflammation, sleep disturbances including insomnia, sleepwalking, slurred or difficult speech, stiff awkward movements, taste changes, tingling or pins and needles, tiredness, visual disturbances, weakness, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes

Special warnings about this medication
When Halcion is used every night for more than a few weeks, it loses its effectiveness to help you sleep. This is known as tolerance. Also, it can cause dependence, especially when it is used regularly for longer than a few weeks or at high doses.

Abrupt discontinuation of Halcion should be avoided, since it has been associated with withdrawal symptoms (convulsions, cramps, tremor, vomiting, sweating, feeling ill, perceptual problems, and insomnia). A gradual dosage tapering schedule is usually recommended for patients taking more than the lowest dose of Halcion for longer than a few weeks. The usual treatment period is 7 to 10 days.

If you develop unusual and disturbing thoughts or behavior---including increased anxiety or depression---during treatment with Halcion, you should discuss them with your doctor immediately.

"Traveler's amnesia" has been reported by patients who took Halcion to induce sleep while traveling. To avoid this condition, do not take Halcion on an overnight airplane flight of less than 7 to 8 hours.

You may suffer increased anxiety during the daytime while taking Halcion.

When you first start taking Halcion, until you know whether the medication will have any "carry over" effect the next day, use extreme care while doing anything that requires complete alertness such as driving a car or operating machinery.

After discontinuing the drug, you may experience a "rebound insomnia" for the first 2 nights---that is, insomnia may be worse than before you took the sleeping pill.

You should be aware that anterograde amnesia (forgetting events after an injury) has been associated with benzodiazepine drugs such as Halcion.

You should be cautious about using this drug if you have liver or kidney problems, lung problems, or a tendency to temporarily stop breathing while you are asleep.

17. Many years ago I was given halcion as a sleep aid after a back

injury, of course then I drank also and I took some pills and drank a goodly amount of jack daniels old no. 7 and the next day I couldn't remember anything about the previous day. I guess a friend and I had a hell of a fun day. I am still surprised that I am not down on lake fort gibson up one of the coves looking for the way back home. It took several days to remember just what the hell we did, nothing illegal mind you just way more fun than the law allows. yep, halcion could very well be it.

18. I'm glad you were able to remember your adventures

Definitely could explain some of the side effects I highlighted in bold with the Madness of king George.

[zeemike]

19. Alcohol alone could explain it

If he is an alcoholic, and I believe he is, then just drinking a beer could lead to inappropriate behavior, as anyone that has been close to an alcoholic can testify.
And like all alcoholics that have not accepted the fact that for them it is poison, they think that they can just drink a beer and control it.

[seabeyond]

20. prior t election it was slipped bush took a pill twice a day

also said he took ambien. everyone in washington takes it. but that is a sleep drug so would be twice during his day, surely. we never got the scoop what the pill was twice a day
