your hero of the day, by the way, is Curtis Fucking Sliwa, who when given the opportunity by a reporter to shit-talking Mamdani, instead took the high road.

https://www.threads.com/@thedatanerd13/post/DS-r5UbDTzS

Reporter: “Will you ask New Yorkers who voted for you to give Zohran Mamdani a chance?”

Sliwa: “Absolutely. He won a majority. He has a mandate. The Masters of the Universe, the billionaires, did everything they could to make sure he wasn’t the mayor. It didn’t work. He’s a great organizer.”

good for Curtis. he would have been one of the last people I would have expected to show grace in defeat, and I'm happy to have been wrong about that

Sliwa certainly showed a hell of a lot more grace than Andrew Cuomo.

Between Mamdani, Brad Lander, and Sliwa, it sure seems like the leading candidates in the last NYC mayoral election HATE Cuomo. Lander (who cross-endorsed Mamdani in the Democratic primary) and Sliwa weren’t even upset that Mamdani beat them, as long as it meant Cuomo lost. That’s some next level hate, and I am here for it.

Up until his taking the high road over Mamdani's being sworn in, the only positive about Sliwa was the burning hatred of Cuomo.

It's so, so difficult when someone awful scores not just one good point....but two. I guess it just proves that almost all human beings are complicated.*

I fully adore Mamdani for doing what is required to get on the road to recovery. Revoke the previous asswipe’s orders. We need a Dem who will do that the second they enter office. Second act…round up all pardoned J6ers..they’re seditionists and not qualified for pardons. Take all actions needed to reverse all the BS trump did. Then say what he did…show me the written word that says I can’t! And ignore THAT.

sliwa has surprised me in many cases --seems to have matured, in good ways -- his version of reality in nyc is often reasonable -- and he has proven a good sport -- to call cuomo a poor sport is to commit an extreme euphemism

I agree 100% - please have him take more! It doesn't look like 325 mg daily has any more effect on hemorrhagic stroke occurrence than 81 mg/day does (recent study with 15,000 patients , courtesy of Google AI search). Blood clotting from the effects on platelet aggregation, of course, but not spontaneous bleeds in brain vessels.

Mingo's avatar

Care to indulge in my own theory of what is going on with Don the Con's health that's on a downward trajectory. Maybe his doctors want to decrease the amount of aspirin he takes every day because it's interfering with other blood thinners he's on because he's had a stroke. Due his narcissism he's not following doctors orders because he thinks he's smarter than them. His CT scan of the abdomen may show the result of a GI bleed from all the aspirin he refused to quit taking. Therefore he's complicit in his own demise (oh joy). Add in maybe he's been popping antacids for heartburn/reflux because of the shitty diet he consumes everyday. Am I even in the ballpark?

Yes, but never 325mg/day of aspirin. Eliquis would be easier to control. I was on 81mg/day and just gently tapping the back of my hand against a door jam led to a lump of blood the size of a half golfball on the back of my hand. I finally had to wean off the daily ASA entirely because I was bruising too easily. At 325mg/day, it's amazing he hasn't had a hemorrhagic stroke.

Jeff, He is now overdosing daily on aspirin. If that isnt a sign he's afraid of cardiac shit, I dont know what is. I mean think about it, forced aspirin therapy?

Trump's pushing aspirin as a cardiovascular cure-all, ignoring decades of nuanced medical research that shows it helps some people and kills others through internal bleeding. We're talking about actual fucking bodies—your grandmother's stomach lining, your uncle's brain hemorrhage risk—being pawns in a political theater where "traditional medicine" means whatever Fox News said last Tuesday. The FDA's explicit guidelines? Complicated. Trump's take? "Everyone should take it." Medical professionals are already bracing for the ER visits from people who hear "aspirin" and start popping them like Tic Tacs.

What really grinds is the way the press treated Biden compared to the egg shell dance with tRump. The unfortunate horror show during that debate notwithstanding, it felt as if the press was chomping at the bit to rage about every stammer, every stutter - something that Biden has done since childhood.

If the leaked document of all the feel good drugs the White House pharmacy was doling out during tRump 1.0 is any indication, they're probably loading tRump with all manner of stimulants and happy meds intravenously with an IV. Case in point - that Oval Office love fest with Mamdani. IMO - the prez was high as fuck. His mood has definitely been on a major roller coaster for some time now. He's old, he's very sick, and he is a massive POS. It's all so fucking stupid, and it continues to get worse. By the hour.

As always, thanks for getting us through 2025. 2026 is already shaping up to be possibly even more stupid and terrifying. The humor and analysis help so much with processing all this madness.

I'm still furious about the three weeks of saturation coverage about Biden's (nonexistent) "cognitive decline," when they have yet to devote 1/100th of the coverage to Trump's blatant cognitive decline. Sure, Biden was tired and out of sorts, and yes, he stutters. He made a completely coherent 15 minute speech to an LGBTQ group a few weeks ago and one rightwing outlet made a huge deal about how he stumbled over one word. But if there were a cognitive face-off between Biden and Trump, it's clear Biden would win bigly.

So Trump had a CT Angiogram and not an MRI? That checks out. They were looking to see how much damage he's done to his heart with all the stimulants that he's taken and all the Big Macs that he's eaten. I said months ago (when he was falling asleep constantly) that the doctors must have told him he needed to stop with the uppers unless he wanted to die (damn doctors) and that's why he falls asleep all the time now.

Most likely he still takes them when he needs to "perform" later than 6 oclock at night, can't dance to YMCA when your not pumped up on Adderall now can ya.

I'm not convinced that his hand problem comes from IV's either. You would think they could use a vein farther up his arm to give him IV drugs and stop all the controversy about his rotten hand. It's gonna be a mystery because we will never be told the truth from this administration about anything.

Happy New Year

Peace & Love

I wouldn't be surprised if he had a cardiac calcium CT scan, which is essentially a quick way to check one's arteries if there is no evidence of heart issues. I had one last fall at age 68 to establish a baseline (all clear). However, neither Medicare nor my secondary insurance paid for it, as I have no evidence of heart/artery issues. Yeah, idiot insurance companies, it's called preventative care to ensure I DON'T develop heart/artery issues and then die since women rarely have chest pains when their hearts go wonky.
