I thought it was a thorough speech.  I didn't see any sign of cognitive decline.  Most of it just came off the top of his head with little reliance on the teleprompter.  That was encouraging.

Oh.....wait......nevermind.

I went down a rabit hole this weekend with a roadtrip for an antique clawfoot tub. I took a glorious weekend off from politics. What did I miss?

Ya didn't miss a thing...he didn't hold a State of the Union at all.  

After seeing him stammer through his "speech" in Texas... I doubt he is capable of reciting what they write for him now anyway.

He came to Texas? 

Here it is.  Enjoy:

He was in Houston, on Friday Feb 26,  I heard. Didn't make much of a news event from what I understand.

But Donald J. Trump made a wonderful speech at CPAC.   My favorite line went something like I may have to run again in 2024 and beat them for the third time.

And then the crowd chanting "You won!" like we didn't already all know that. 

Well after seeing the video of his "speech"...you can imagine why they didn't replay that nonsense on the news much.  It was sad to watch.  Absolute elder abuse.

I'll be ****ed,  I had no idea he visited Texas.... oh well.. lol! Sounds like I didn't miss anything. 

In regards to 'elder abuse'.............it goes along with the concept "Ya can't rape the willing".  This is from Wild West as a youth! Laughing!

So The Elder decided he could handle the 'abuse'. With that said, I do not believe it is abuse.

Did you find the clawfoot tub?

I did!!!  Found one in great origional condition, so it is a very good canidate for restoration. No holes or cracks (except in the wood) - does have some chips in the porcelin.  Had always been in the same family wether it was in a house or a garage/storage. Never stored outside. They didn't have an exact age, but knew it was bought sometime between1860-1892. It still has the origional porcelain,plumbing, feet and wooden rim!! We are adding a master bathroom to the house and I wanted a true soaking tub, so I've been hunting for a cool one. When I saw this one, it was LOVE at first sight. It was my birthday present from the hubby. They only wanted $100!!!!! I know I'll still possibly have a pretty penny in it after restoration....but....what price do you put on love????

Cool! You got in to it for cheap! Usually, when that happens to me, I lose my azz on the resto end.

Foundation Horse -

I'm crossing my fingers that I don't get in too deep. I already have aged cypress for the rim left over from another project - and family members that are woodworkers. I'm also lucky enough have a tool and die member of the family that is itching to get his hands on the faucet to see if he can get it working. Hub's has lots of contacts with talented people that are willing to help. One does powder coating, so we may go that route with the interier if we can't save the porcelin. Another runs a body shop and will sandblast and paint the exterier. If I'm lucky, I should still be in it less than a new one. Fingers crossed!!

I just watched that speech and oh my Gosh!!!! Why oh why do they let this man out of his basement!!! In fact I listen to two videos clips. One video clip they had to use that ribbon at the bottom of the screen to print want he was saying, his was slurring his words really bad. And another video clip where he got so confused he didnt know what to say are how to say what he was trying to say.. They didnt show that part in the first video I watched. This is just insane they let him in front of a mike.. 

And you wonder why the Dem's want to take the nuke codes away from him.

Oh my gosh. What in the He** were the Dems thinking when they put Biden in office. They knew that he was losing his mind.. 

He and Cuomo are being readied for slaughter. That's why the dirty laundry is being aired in public...all part of the Demo plan.

Maybe he was out knocking back a few with his drinking buddy, Pelosi ..before hand?  That was painful ... I actually feel somewhat sorry for him. 

He really sounded like he was drunk.. LOL
