The Risks of a Trump Presidency
Dilbert.com ^ | 6/1/2016 | Scott Adams

Posted on 06/02/2016 9:22:05 AM PDT by GilGil

In my view, we are already in the Age of Cyborgs. You probably have a friend who has one kind of personality without drugs (legal or illegal) and a completely different personality when using drugs, including alcohol. Maybe the drugs are curing depression, or anxiety, or loneliness, or something. But people are different when they are on them. That’s the point of taking drugs.

Trump doesn’t drink. He never has. He doesn’t take illegal drugs either. He’s the same guy at night that he is in the morning. He’s not a chemical cyborg with a personality that is driven by big pharma.

Clinton, on the other hand, is part human, part pharmacological grab-bag. Her personality is at least partly determined by whatever cocktail of meds and wine are in her system at any given moment. In other words, she is just like most adults. Our personalities are the product of the drugs in our system, for better or for worse.

Wow! This article is an amazing analysis of the Trump vs. Hillary choice. Truly outstanding!

I picked the above excerpt because I have been wondering about Hillary's use of drugs for months now. It really is true that from appearance to appearance Hillary is never the same. At times she looks like a zombie and other times she looks like a Trump mini-me. She never seems to be the same and have wondered if the drugs she is taking is doing that. Trump on the other hand is the same Trump each and every time most likely because he is not tanked up on some med like Hillary. ( As an aside, Sanders is always the same Sanders each and every time).

Imagine Hillary getting that 3:00 am call and some nuke has been set off by Iran except that before getting to the national security meeting she takes too many tranquilizers. To her everything seems just fine and she sees no reason for any kind of response. I have direct experience with people like this. Their lives are falling apart in the worst of ways but their reliance on meds makes them think everything is ok.

This article is a really awesome summary of the choice between Trump vs. Hillary. In case there is any doubt, I choose Trump!

I beg to differ. What a long rambling mess. Why did I think I cared what he had to say?

Stopped reading where he wrote 0 is in the top 20% of best _residents.

he failed to mention she is a career criminal who should have been in jail years ago, drugs or no drugs. Simply, she is one nasty bitch.

The number of middle age women that I dispense Paxil, Prozac, Celexa, Effexor XR (and other SSRI/SSNI drugs) to is staggering. I do notice the 'chemical cyborg' thing at the higher doses.

Hint for the husbands: When your wife's SSRI/SSNI doses have increased towards the upper end, it's time to retain a divorce lawyer. I've seen this end badly in a number of cases, all the middle age females on theses drugs just prior to divorce.

Just Sayin..

I divorced my wife about 4 years ago. I still talk to her occasionally although less and less. I do not recognize her anymore. If she misses her meds for a few days she turns into a sniveling, crying wimp. She can’t control herself. If she is on her meds she is calm and cool and nothing phases her. Very,very scary!

Best part:

“But Trump’s racism exists solely in the minds of his opponents. He has proposed no racist policies and he has no racist acts in his past.

Trump opposes illegal immigration. But he loves legal Americans of every color and flavor. He says so often. That’s not racism. That’s more like the opposite.

You mean just like very other person since the beginning of time?

Apparently for Adams, history began yesterday.

I see no reason to try to slog though this article.

The 'moon face'? Does she have the 'buffalo hump' yet?

No not since the beginning of time. The use of prescription meds is epidemic and only in the last few decades. The article is awesome. Your loss.

Well it was interesting read, however, I am against his take on Obama being within the top 20% of the best Presidents.

However, that being said, if the liberals do win then he probably will be remembered as the very best President ever.

I've been seeing a lot of Posts here highlighting Adams views. He provides interesting analysis for sure. I hope people realize that he is no fan of Trump's or Republicans in general.

corticosteroid. I just came off a week of it to combat my allergy inflammation so the antibiotics could clear my sinus infection. I hate the stuff, I call it the big sledgehammer for inflammation

I would say that Trump has “rattled” Obama
