I think Scott, like most Republican politicians and all of Trump’s family, is waiting for the smallest opening to have him declared incompetent and pillage him the way he pillaged his father when his dementia went too far to hide.

They can squash his kids later.

Can’t wait to see the come back tour. It will be a lesson in geriatric perseverance. He is going to end up needing a wattle bra to keep that neck flesh in place. Seriously, the man is straining to keep everything semi-taut. Look at the tendons in his neck, you would think he was lifting 300 and he forgot the belt. And his teeth are getting that “Nope, we want to go this way” effect. His ears are going Princess Leia on the side of his head. Yep, it will be quite an image.

Next year, I suggest Scott dig deep and get one of these and a can of glitter gold Krylon as a trophy award.

Who says this isn’t happening already. I have been saying for now on to five years he is being exploited while he is exploiting others. I am pretty sure the kids are working that gig already anyway.

He still has legal autonomy, as far as I know. I want that to go away.

The orange makeup actually did make him look healthier.

True, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be influenced. And he shows that simply flattering him can suddenly make you the bestest person on the planet.

Scott’s remarks come a month after he awarded Trump with the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s first-ever “Champion for Freedom Award”

With aplomb, Kim Jong-un received the participation trophy.

News, glorious news! (h/t to Oliver! and Lionel Bart)

It appears this might be done under the auspices of the Martin Act.

The Martin Act, a New York state law, gives the New York attorney general the power to investigate any publicly-held company for financial fraud as long as the company in question trades securities in the state. This gives the NY AG a unique and expansive latitude to investigate many publicly-traded companies—as the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ fall within New York state’s jurisdiction. The law broadly prohibits companies from committing fraud or misrepresentation when they publicly offer, sell and purchase securities and commodities.

In addition, what distinguishes the Martin Act from other securities laws across the United States is its unusually broad scope. To prove a violation under the Act, New York state is not required to prove a given action was intentional; it must simply prove that a company has misrepresented or omitted a material fact or engaged in other conduct which deceives or misleads the public, or even tends to deceive or mislead the public.
