Trump Fails Cognitive Test When Asked to Remember Steve Bannon
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump’s stellar reputation for mental acuity took a hit on Thursday when he failed a cognitive test in which he was asked to remember Steve Bannon.

According to the White House physician, Trump was shown several pictures and asked to identify them, including ones of a woman, a man, a camera, a TV, and Steve Bannon.

“He nailed woman, man, camera, and TV but drew a blank when it came to Steve Bannon,” the physician said. “He said he was unfamiliar with that picture and could not remember ever seeing that person before.”

After repeated attempts to jog Trump’s memory concerning the identity of Steve Bannon, including writing the name Steve Bannon on a notecard and showing it to him, the physician gave up trying.

On a positive note, the physician said, Trump’s cognition appeared to improve later in the morning, when he was able to block Steve Bannon on Twitter, Facebook, and his phone.​

Yeah, was driving a car at the time of posting as well and got pulled over by the cops. Was over the limit and argued that I hadn't had an accident and they just let me go on my merry way!

:cloud9:

I've gotten out of tickets several times. I figure that since cops get attitude from citizens all the time, they will likely be lenient to someone who jokes with them a little or who is at least cheerful towards someone who is just doing their job. It usually works.

The Real Winner of Bannon’s ‘We Build the Wall’ Walked Away With $1.7 Billion

While Fisher Industries was not named in the indictment, it is the parent company of Fisher Sand and Gravel, the construction company hired by Bannon’s “We Build the Wall” campaign to make the 3-mile Texas wall a reality, Forbes reported.

Tommy Fisher, CEO of the family-owned company, went on Fox News to personally lobby for Trump’s attention and win his firm the project. On March 5, 2019, Fisher said on Fox & Friends that his company could build 234 miles of border wall for $4.3 billion, well under the $5.7 billion that the Trump administration had requested from Congress.

Fisher Industries, which has eight divisions and an estimated 1,200 employees, beat out the five competing firms asked to develop prototypes of the wall to win the $400 million border wall contract. Despite their award being repeatedly contested, and the company’s history of criminal tax evasion, pollution citations, environmental fines, and a former CEO charged with child pornography, Bannon’s privately funded campaign chose their firm to build the wall.
..
Republican North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer, who brought Fisher as his guest to Trump’s State of the Union address, promoted Fisher Industries to the president as the most cost-effective option for building the border wall, despite company’s accumulated 169 citations in Maricopa County, Arizona.

According to a report by The Washington Post, Trump urged aides to award them the contract.
