Did Trump simply conflate something he had read in an interview or heard on a newscast with his conversations with Putin? It is distressing if so, and reminiscent of claims that President Reagan confused his war movies with actual service. But Trump has offered conflicting and false accounts of his interactions with Putin before, claiming that they had a great relationship and then later saying they had never spoken.

A lot of articles are floating around right now about the "Comey memos" but this one had the above paragraph and I think it sums up nicely how many of us view this president: unhinged from reality. He's stated various things as irrefutable facts then we find out he's basing them on random comments, news articles or what passes for journalism over at Fox News. For example, he once said he and Putin were old friends because they met on a television show but then he admitted that while they were both on the same show they didn't actually meet in person or exchange dialogue with each other. And this has been his modus operandi that makes many of us question whether he's even in touch with reality or if he's like many elderly people struggle with dementia or alzheimers and "faking it."

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
