Some of us, including myself, specialized in psych testing and assessment.
We took many classes about these tools, and have lots of experience with them.

We used to joke that we would flunk all of them.

Will they do dishes after I cook them a meal and help with the heavy cleaning occasionally?

Sign me up for one. But I don't think there's enough for everyone. We'll all have to share.

Or maybe he's just riffing on a misguided "Sometime I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't" assumption of what a Woke support of Transgender is.

(No, I didn't hear what he said, I'm just agreeing with your assessment of gibberish.

He means to call it the "reflecting pool" but "reflecting lake" or "reflecting pond" is what he actually says. It's allegedly a sign of either frontotemporal dementia or neurological damage from his suspected stroke(s).

I can't bear to watch him anymore. It's very seldom and in small doses. I hardly watch the news anymore because of him. Also thanks to all the posters who are watching. You're taking one for the team.
