Overview
Dysarthria is a condition in which the muscles you use for speech are weak or you have difficulty controlling them. Dysarthria often is characterized by slurred or slow speech that can be difficult to understand.
Common causes of dysarthria include nervous system (neurological) disorders such as stroke, brain injury, brain tumors, and conditions that cause facial paralysis or tongue or throat muscle weakness. Certain medications also can cause dysarthria.
Dysarthria treatment is directed at treating the underlying cause of your condition when possible, which may improve your speech. You may have speech therapy to help improve speech. For dysarthria caused by prescription medications, changing or discontinuing the medications may help.
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of dysarthria vary, depending on the underlying cause and the type of dysarthria, and may include:
When to see a doctor
- Slurred speech
- Slow speech
- Inability to speak louder than a whisper or speaking too loudly
- Rapid speech that is difficult to understand
- Nasal, raspy or strained voice
- Uneven or abnormal speech rhythm
- Uneven speech volume
- Monotone speech
- Difficulty moving your tongue or facial muscles
Dysarthria can be a sign of a serious condition. See your doctor if you have sudden or unexplained changes in your ability to speak.

In dysarthria, you may have difficulty moving the muscles in your mouth, face or upper respiratory system that control speech. Conditions that may result in dysarthria include:
Some medications, such as narcotics or sedatives, also can cause dysarthria.

From what I've read, Trump is going to keep signing the same executive order that postpones the Jerusalem issue until an embassy is built. I can see that embassy taking a long time to be built (not before 2020).
He gains with his base without doing anything of note. The question is whether the next president has the courage to reverse the decision.
Listened it on BBC radio sounded just like that. Was actually chilling to hear. I also heard him sniff every 2 seconds like a coke userThose videos are laggy af. I wouldn't be surprised if the framerates are all messed up.
I think he needed it. Smacks of diversion though.Yep. This strikes me as a similar move to his Paris climate withdrawal. Something he can present his base while not actually implementing anything.
President Carter will respond to this no doubt. Peace in the Middle East is what he's devoted most of his public life to but Trump has completely undermined any foreseeable chance of peace
UGH!
cnut.
Middle East Politics is not something I know about, can somebody tell me, why he has done it ?
Cheers , is him doing this not a bit like , lighting the blue paper and then running away.He did it to keep a promise to his political base in the US. He doesn't care about 2nd order effects like violence and protests that a decision like this make promote.

pro-life, pro second amendment
Cheers , I understand it a bit better now.Its simply down to him being desperate to keep his dwindling domestic flock of supporters on board, at a time when the Russia investigation is making him look increasingly bent.

For a 71 year old, his fast food eating habits would suggest he may be in for poor health. Wouldn't be surprised to see an unexpected ailment spring out of nowhere.

That's bizarre.
Worth another laughFake chews!
Sorry.
Hahahahahahahahahaha. How can you reel them off one after another and keep a straight face? Pro-Life and supporting the reason for thousands and thousands of unnecessary deaths every year. Good god.
You gotta allow the children to be born before you can gun 'em down. A sort of logic there.
And also to cover for Russiagate.He did it to keep a promise to his political base in the US. He doesn't care about 2nd order effects like violence and protests that a decision like this make promote.
