Well there’s a campaign slogan for the ages, isn’t it.
“I don’t want to be here. My flunkies told me I had to show up for a picture. And it’ll be a great picture! The best picture! CLICK THERE. Wasn’t that nice of me? You know I get treated so unfairly. Believe me.”
Then why is Joe’s listener not going out to buy more guns? Isn’t that their 2A solution to being afraid? Wouldn’t 5 billion buy Trump’s base a hell of a lot more guns and make the NRA very, very happy?
Oh that is rich. Giullani has finally run out of BS. The idiot spin doctor who lives to blather nonsense on prime time has clammed up. Even he can’t lie with a straight face anymore because Trump so totally, obviously screwed.
Pretty easy to see the scenario. He’s got some TV executives to impress, so he presents himself as the knowing cynic, wink wink the trip is just a photo op won’t change anything wouldn’t do it but my idiot staff wants me to. No opportunity missed to humiliate someone, because he lives for that; no opportunity missed to suck up to the powerful especially in the media because he lives for that too. And of course the story goes out that he’s a blustering fake, like a thousand stories before, because he’s too sloppy and lazy and fake to care about that either. How much longer, America? How much longer does a once-great nation tolerate this?
I don’t know. They seem pretty turned. I imagine they will stay in this space, like David Frum (which back in 2010 was like an exile from rw think-tank world) where he critiques and snarks - with at times turning the critique towards the left - but never to the degree he delivers to the hard right.

… the Victorian network, probably did not account for the disposable diapers and wipes that, in a matter of days, can mate with oil and grease to create fatbergs big enough to block tunnels that are six feet tall.
Let`s hope the country can flush our own fatberg out of our system. The analogies write themselves.
“Look what my stupid, useless staff is about to have me go do. I told them it’s worthless, but they insist. Underlings, amirite? Can’t live with 'em, can’t live without 'em”
Pre-underbussed.
This sort of support, this sort of backing, is what got somebody like SHS to throw away her professional career. Good idea, rats! Come climb onto the SS Trump, which many people are saying is floats with strength and power. Healthy ship!

Lawfare is great, so please don’t take this the wrong way…I look forward to it being significantly less relevant.

So do I, man. So do I.
That will be the same day @steve_vladeck and I can go back to disagreeing about things. It will be a very very good day for the republic.
I am sure that the actually-conservative never-Trumpers will disagree with Democrats about a lot of policy positions once this nightmare is over, but in a way that is mindful of what we’ve lived through and when we stood together. In this narrow sense, at least, the Full Dotard Experience will offer political discourse some silver lining, however minor.
This once great nation has a serious malignancy threatening its existence. These racist, disenfranchised, low education white folk with their magical thinking mega churchs and their fear of being the lowest rung on our social ladder are a real problem.
Getting rid of Trump is going to be a breeze compared to dealing with them. The passage of time may be the only real cure here.
I’m not young myself, speaking of the passage of time, and it’s been a long while since I gave up expecting people to suddenly become mostly alert and aware of the world around them. But I thought they could recognize an obvious, blatant charlatan when they saw one. Live and learn, that’s all I can say.
