... you do know those things specifically mentioned are in fact things that have been used for a while to... well, do what was mentioned. Right? Fair amount of other things, too. Less sure about the autogenic stuff, but mental imagery and meditation are both legit. Can be, at least. Having practiced relaxation techniques under your belt can actually do exactly what the quoted bit says it does: Not replace emergency treatment, but help reduce onset and severity. Stuff's been introduced into a lot of actual hospitals and whatnot for a reason.

I'm a mild asthmatic myself, by the by, along with a few other things relaxation methods help with. It works. It's not a replacement, but it can help keep symptoms under control.

Now if they're actually talking biofeedback and chakras and such, yeah, they loco. Meditation et al is good shit, though.

Saw mention somewhere. Can't remember the specifics but the gist of it is someone fed baby pictures into one AI experiment or another and that came out.

... has that ever happened before, actually? The VP candidate leaving the ticket ~a month before the general. Because I certainly can't remember it happening off the top of my head.

Uh, not like what was recorded, no. I've heard more respect come out of drunk frat boys.

Though yes, he's been accused from several different sources of making unwanted advances.

Trump's at least... tweeted, I think, that he won't be resigning regardless as to what happens. Trump being trump, that doesn't mean much, but there you go.

So what would happen if a guy decided to drive without a license in USA, got caught for it, and then in court used this as a defense? Cause if he gets off scot free then the article would technically be correct, although they would probably fix that loophole soon afterwards.

Well, first the judge would laugh at them, maybe literally. Then the defense would be thrown out, at best. If the defendant kept trying that route afterwards, iirc what usually comes next is contempt of court charges.

... if that's what you call "a little appreciation" fol, you got problems. Just sayin'.

Any case, mostly seems to be either a camel's back scenario and/or the more personal/irrefutable nature of it. Plus the racism, tax evasion, and ethically bankrupt business practices are... kinda' a plus for a fair chunk of the folks that are supporting him, or at least for the ones that are supporting those ones (in the case of politician endorsement.). This latest bit, not so much.

Though yeah, calling it the most horrific things you can imagine is either excessive hyperbole or a great heaping of stupidity. No question on that end of things.
