Trump also called the Republican Party the ‘Party of Love.’
This is ‘love’ in the Orwellian sense. i.e., the Ministry of Love. Which, let us recall, was the ministry in charge of instilling ‘love’ of Big Brother.

Trump’s real drug of choice is not dementia, but demagoguery.

Narcissism tends to get worse with age, so we should expect less and less from Trump. That’s not even counting his cognitive decline.

That’s the drug he sells.

It will be hard to cut through the right wing media noise to convince his supporters that Biden is making their lives better.

I missed at least 25 minutes of that sludge yesterday but even so I would say the one and only new thing to think about was how they had placards arrayed in front of him about thigh high. Never seen that done with a speaker in my life. It’s interesting because for most of his term he displayed a variety of physical symptoms consistent with frontotemporal dementia or other progressive diseases. So something like leg tremors is what you might think of here.

No - he gets oxygen from them as their business model is based on reaching a certain demographic that believes Trump because they have been sold lies for the past 50-60 years by the Republican party that other people are getting things they are not. No chance FOX will grow up. That’s why I’m hoping the lawsuits regarding voting machines gets up and going, as FOX is DOA in my view. Money - that’s all they care about, and Trump, even when he’s incoherently ranting (which is normal state) makes them money.

Shorter Trump: “My insurrection was bigger than any other insurrection in history!”

Cultish adulation is not love, Don.
None of those people even know you. How could they “love” you?
Especially since all you’ve ever done is lie to them?

Beautiful until he told them to march on the Capitol. Mostly likely knowing full well they were not going to stop at the fences.
The permit for the rally was for the Ellipse and specifically barred a march. Trump knew or should have known this. There are no signs that any organizetnwas startled and rushed to tell him the conditions of the permit when he told people to march. This suggests the march had been planned for days …probably from the point where Trump started saying it would be wild.

Time and success will push that forward. That is why Congress needs to act and serve the people. The idea that McConnell or ANY Republican can teach us something about bipartisanship efforts is only one more fraud (or outright lie) that they make towards efforts to normalize our times. Where were they when it mattered? They lost their voice, so why should I care what they say now. (Spoiler Alert: I don’t.) Just keep working to solve problems - this is a marathon, not a sprint. The concern is what else will happen to challenge these efforts?

Let’s follow that through, logically.
Why would he think, beforehand, that the National Guard would be necessary?

These drooling CPAC morons who cheered Orangeman will support him no matter what. They will still support him when he goes to prison for Tax/Bank/Insurance fraud. Can we just call them stupid now, without apology?

I think Trump is over. He knows it… and the Republican party leaders know it. Sure, some Republican hopefuls are going after his fans and will try to appeal to them. It’s more about his fan base than Trump.
But it will slowly dawn on them, no matter how enthusiastic they are, you can’t win with 20-25% of the population.
January 6th was Trump’s political Waterloo.
The turd polishing by CPAC yesterday of Trump and Rush was a pathetic attempt to hold on to a past that is losing more of its relevance everyday. I suspect if Trump had spoken much longer, people would have started to leave. The longer he spoke, the more energy sapped from the crowd. Trump’s a dead man walking for the vast majority of America.
