The Trump cabal is insane, corrupt, and dangerous. “Long shadows on the ceiling”, indeed.

They really are getting desperate.

Mad as a box of frogs, as our British friends would say. Also, of course, appalling that a lunatic like this would be anywhere near a position of influence in an institution of science…

Well, if you really believed that, you would go into hiding, wouldn’t you?

He tweeted this yesterday at Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel but it certainly applies to Caputo as well:

Are you insane?

??? Your comment you can’t tell if you are agreeing with this guy or not.

I don’t want to buy into the current climate of conspiracymongering, but you really wonder sometimes whether this entire administration isn’t a living, breathing, ongoing campaign of sabotage…

Additional snippets from the NYT article. (Not behind the paywall, apparently.)

“I don’t like being alone in Washington,” he said, describing “shadows on the ceiling in my apartment, there alone, shadows are so long.”

They “haven’t gotten out of their sweatpants except for meetings at coffee shops” to plot “how they’re going to attack Donald Trump next,” Mr. Caputo said. “There are scientists who work for this government who do not want America to get well, not until after Joe Biden is president.”

This man is not well.

“Caputo Accuses Scientists Of ‘Sedition’…”

I love his Pol Pot impression!

Always a crowd pleaser.

And his stand-up routine on Mao and the Cultural Revolution is to die for!

In his livestream, Caputo also dipped into conspiracy theorizing about Trump winning reelection, but former Vice President Joe Biden refusing to concede.

“And when Donald Trump refuses to stand down at the inauguration, the shooting will begin,” he said. “The drills that you’ve seen are nothing,” he said, adding, “If you carry guns, buy ammunition, ladies and gentlemen, because it’s going to be hard to get.”

sigh

v.o: “previously on ‘The Donald Trump Show’.”

No need to wonder at all. In the words of the Great Dotard, himself, it is what it is.

It all smells rather Rovian. Too bad for them Rove still thinks it’s 1999.

There they go again, those pointy-headed intellectuals. Or are they sweatpantsed nattering nabobs of negativity?
