> [@bobot](#): > > It sounds like Trump thinks that magnets will short out if you pour water on them? An electromagnet might, but he made it sound like any magnet is going to be negated by water. I wonder if someone told him about magnetic “poles” and now he thinks magnets can help predict vote results. ---

In the style of Seth Meyers… “Magnets…we love magnets, don’t we folks? I knew a magnet once, big, strong magnet. He came up to me, tears streaming down his magnetty face, you know what he said to me? He said ‘Sir, you have done more for American magnets than anyone in history’. And it’s true, folks. You know, not many people know that but it’s true.” ---

> [@Odesio](#): > > Between the Carroll case, the impending dissolution of the Trump organization, and all his other mounting legal fees, I’m not so sure he can grift enough to keep up with all the damages coming his way.

I still believe he is not able to dress himself or tie his own shoes, the butler does it. Concerning the shoes he could not even reach that far down, and if he did, he would not manage to get up again. I am still waiting for a corageous interviewer to tell him he has the most excellent knots on his shoes he has ever seen, then get on his knees, and with tears in his eyes, untie one knot in mock admiration, asking him to show him how to do such a marvel. Will not happen, I know, but one can have daydreams, right? ---

Kristina Karamo, Michigan Republican state party chairperson, is a 2020 election denier, so this is valid schadenfreude: > **[Michigan Republicans vote to remove chair Kristina Karamo as she promises not...](https://apnews.com/article/michigan-republican-party-karamo-removal-0f4c85738f2f675f36ebe1df839c5239)** > > Michigan Republicans plan to discuss removing state party Chairwoman Kristina Karamo.

“Insane Trump Posse” has a nice ring to it, if he needs a name for an indpendent party. With red and blue and green taken, I think we know what the brand color will be. ---
