TDS type 2 discovered by Alligator University Medical School

I take great pride in presenting to our sophisticated readers, knowledgable in the occult arts of Politics, a new discovery achieved at A.U. School of Medicine

Pardon the repetition, but clarification must now be made between the familiar TDS type 1, which was simply named TDS before TDS type 2 was discovered.

TDS, type 1 is a chronic affliction, having been present at least 3 years. However, this disorder (which I remind you is now TDS type 1) is cause of intermittent, often unpredictable flare-ups. The affected patient, which we must so call them. because TDS type 1 IS A DISEASE. A characteristic TDS-1 is that many of its sufferers also have agnose agnosia. Stated in lay terms, and there are positive aspects of "lay" which must not be overlooked, this form of agnosia (= cluelessness) means that the victim is unaware of his/her/its malady. Thus, TDS-1 sufferers are cluelessly clueless. Which means that such individuals have to help across the street, placed on potty chairs, or otherwise cared for to prevent harming him/her/it.

Until TDS-2 was discovered, which does overlap to some degree TDS-1, it was sufficient to say that the powers of observation residual in such patients is severely diminished. Acoustic impairment ( = deafness) is common because many TDS-1 patients find solace in echo chamber music. Imagine the magnificence of David Brock conducting the DNC Philharmonic in Concerto for Hillary and Bassoons, written by Donna Brazile. Such performances as that would likely render sane persons raving mad--or just plain angry.

So reviewing TDS-1, it is apparent that the sufferers are deaf, paranoid and clueless. Their only music is monotone--nary a good Chantsong amongst them. The current TDS-1 chart topper is "Ukraine, nurturer of rich Amerikan Children". Admittedly the title is clumsy--but what does one expect from TDS-1 sufferers?

Digression (or footnote in the middle of the text where no decent footnote belongs): the previous big TDS-1 hit was simply called "RussiaRussiaRussia", words and music by Rachel Madcow.

By now, many of you have got the picture, whilst many other others have gone on to better things.

Through diligence, keen senses, delicate measuring devices AUMC clinicians and researchers discovered a relatively newer version of TDS, called, stunningly, TDS-2. This disorder develops after a longer incubation period than TDS-1. But the effects can be just as mind-numbing. Furthermore TDS-2 is accompanied by soul numbing, if the patient possessed one prior to infestation.

By now, the many reading will have deduced the true nature of TDS-2: quite simply put (as it must be) TDS-2 = Tulsi Derangement Syndrome. An entire segment of the Fourth Estate has been afflicted for likely 3 years. The seriousness of the disorder was likely not fully appreciated until about 4 months ago when H. Rodent Clinton, during one of HER delusional rants, became convinced that Russians have taken possession of Tulsi's soul. But what would this giant Rodent know about souls anyway?

Like TDS-1, TDS-2 is incurable. The senses, including that of equilibrium, are disrupted. Hyperstimulation of the hypocrisy center of the brain, located somewhere between the amygdala and hypothalamus, results in paralytic fits, sometimes accompanied by mouth frothing and wild finger-pointing. Coughing is occasionally noted (e.g. H.R.C. 2016 campaign speeches).

Symptoms of TDS-2 are remarkable in that the DNA of the causative type-2 agent is vastly different than that of TDS-1 causative agent. Yet the outward manifestations of both types is similar. Final common pathway for political stupidity perhaps.

Here's music good for what ails ya. Full refunds if not satisfied. Please address complaints to AUMS.

a legally and morally sound path to change the electoral college system, dump it and get some system that resembles more a parliamentary system, whereby the voting process is independent from all the good 'ole USian crap no lay person, be it old or young, can really understand. There is also something the way your justices are nominated or elected that is not independent from donor money or not independent of a nomination proess executed by Type TDS-1 afflicted bozos.

I am sorry to say that I am certainly afflicted with Type-A TDS (Total Derangement System), after the good doctor explained to me that there is no cure for the Type TDS-1 (Trump Derangemet System).

As I am having a severe case of Type-2 TDS and I refuse to take any medication to cure myself from that affliction, (as I have the Type-A TDS) a sickness which shows up by how absolutely sick I feel when reading one more interpretation and discussions of all the chances each candidate has if voted by whomever for whatever reasons.

Read by yourself. I come back, when Bernie and Tulsi or one other candidate in the hiding can offer convincingly a way to change (legally) your constitutional texts that regulate your electoral college process.

I am so sick already that I start loving my Alligator doctor and that is really, really a sign of TFS, Total Failure Syndrome... but it feels so good.../s

Sigh. Good Morning, America, with love from Germany. Mami Merkel is reading this. Beware of my connections...she might get some syndromes of a yet unknown disease, which I suggest calling TBS syndrome (Total Blöder Scheißkram).

@mimi my poor brain is being stretched to its limit by this polylingualism. I think you have identified my condition accurately. Type A TDS, incomplete form, yes. I am almost totally deranged. I preserve my sanity by plunging into the healing waters of my murky swamp. But there are so many WDC'ers in the muck that it is difficult to avoid them. I would try to eat them but I tire of the daily ration of pure scheiss. A little meat and fat would be welcome but these creatures have the sole fat storage in their Köpfe. The shells of those fat-bearing nuts occasionally deprive me of a tooth, so that I become wary of chewing on many of them.

@Alligator Ed @Alligator Ed
you just watch the movie I posted in another diary and you will completely understand everything there is to know:
„The Master Butchers Singing Club“ (2003)

Watch the film here

I am going nuts too when it comes to cross languages.

Peace, Good NIght, I am outta here and need to take a 'PiPa', a word my father created and one I won't translate as it would make my father turn in his grave.

@earthling1 I selected a Vogon poetry reading. Pictured are the moderator and the Poet.

The Moderator stands by stolidly while the Vogon Poet declaims desultory drivel.

Personally, I believe they are all hearing. Hearing people don't know how to listen in my experience. This goes for politicians, doctors, police, teachers, and a whole lot more. They just seem to hear whatever they want to hear.

Just the other day, my daughter told me how much better I listen to her than her grandparents do even though I can't hear a thing and they can hear perfectly.

Perhaps we hear with our ears, but listen with our hearts and minds.
