Are boots the new fashion style in high school?

I don’t know what the kids are wearing these days but Matt there seems to have a bit of brown on his schnozz. Seems to be a style among Republican lawmakers.

I believe that brown stuff may be the latest grift product available from Trump: Eau De Toilette–MAGA! (Making Anuses Gaseous Again).

My prediction. Rudy will be found in front of four seasons landscaping, giving a speech at a non-existent press conference. He’ll eventually be arrested for scaring a random homeless person. He’ll be taken to prison for his own good.

I read that as

Somehow, I don’t think that changed the meaning a damn whit.

Teleprompter? No need! Maybe Trump’s debate handlers will stick a microphone in his ear to coach him, like [what was allegedly done with Dubya](https://www.theregister.com/2004/10/12/bush_wireless_coaching/) in one of his debates.

They could always hide the transmitter in his diaper.

Trump’s debate handlers = Putin

Actually I could just imagine Trump on stage with a microphone in his ear.

Moderator: “…and Mr Trump, what are your stances on border policy?”

Trump: “What?!.. I can’t hear you! Speak up!.. Yes I know the questions about border policy! I’m not saying that I don’t even know what it means! Is that russian?”

Moderator: “Mr. Trump I’m sorry but your 2 minutes are up.”

Trump: “Dammit!”

Ah, one of the now-quaint mysteries of the Bush years. There was also that pic of him in a pickup truck on his ranch with some odd looking contraption under his t-shirt.

Dark Brandon should bring a pocket jammer to the debate. It would be hilarious to watch Trump repeatedly cut off from his handlers mid-sentence.

I say let him have his handlers. He can hardly stay on script, and he’s still incoherent much of the time as it is. It’s not like he listens to what other people say anyway. He just rambles on until his brain short-circuits and he freezes for a moment, which appears to be happening with increasing frequency these days.

This is currently breaking so I’m sure more details will come out later. But for those who don’t know David Depape, the MAGAT that attacked Paul Pelosi, has apparently received a 30-year sentence.

Yeah. Didn’t the governor of Texas say the guy he pardoned for killing a protestor should be free is partly because the killer’s a military veteran. If memory serves, the guy he murdered was also a military veteran.

And unlike the now-pardoned killer, the victim wasn’t grooming a teenager for sex.

Giuliani tried to publicy mock the state AG at his birthday party and was served his indictment an hour later, in front of some of his supporters.

Is it true that the charges would have had to be dismissed if he wasn’t served by today?
