Confusing yourself over words is actually a pretty serious thing

Confusion about words and difficulty finding the correct words to use...

We're talking about calling your mother a car, calling work a tree, or calling terrorists a massacre.

Things like that, not necessarily calling terrorists "bad people who want to do bad things to us", are symptoms of some serious conditions such as:
Alzheimer's disease
Narcotic abuse
Cocaine abuse
Dementia with Lewy bodies
Dementia in head injury
Concussion
Mini-strokes
Chronic kidney disease
Some forms of epilepsy
Brain aneurysm

We need to make this an issue, if Kellyanne Conway wasn't trying to create some state-sponsored Islamophobia, then she needs a full medical checkup and screening, for her sake, and the sake of the American People if she wants to continue being a Trump adviser.

"rode hard, put away wet" category.

She certainly looks like she hasn't had a good night sleep in weeks. That I can believe. Haggard, old, enlarging bags under the eyes, not taking the time even to use a hairbrush, not getting her makeup on, which reveals even more pasty and anemic-looking skin, which in turn does NOT photograph well.

Looks to me like in the last few weeks she's starting to unravel. I wonder how long she can continue before she's considered a liability and may actually be let go - OR taking an extended leave to "spend more time with her family." Looks like we have a case of the job's becoming too damn big for her. And all the poor dear seems to do now is add to it and make it that much harder and trickier, with all her mistakes, missteps, misspeaking, and lies that are so flagrant and easily caught that even the mainstream media is now noticing.

I wonder how long she's got. It could be she NEEDS to leave or take an extended time-out, because this kind of thing does NOT help you stay healthy.

But when you have a job as high-powered and demanding and tension-filled as the one she has, outside the home, just add that in and I can see how she looks as bad as she does.

Hmmm... putting The Donald ahead of her kids. That's gonna end well. I've heard of being a working mom. Heck, I've BEEN a working mom. Juggling both - the job and the kids - is damn hard. And I only had two kids, not four.
