WCW collapsed and went out of business almost 25 years ago. In Trump-speak, they’re losers. May as well be a Wang Computers hat. ---

I watched WCW all the time, I loved that way back in the day when it was new. I was a big fan of Sting, and saw his first match. That was before he decided to look like The Crow. But that was forever ago. ---

When I watched part of the video, I thought the hat said WOW (which I thought was probably World of Warcraft). He didn’t seem the type, somehow. ---

In other “grasping at straws” news, Trump has filed a [$10 BILLION lawsuit against CBS](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-sues-cbs-news-60-minutes-interview/) for “election interference” because of their interview with Kamala Harris on _60 Minutes_. ---

That’s hilarious. They offered, he declined, now he thinks he can sue them. Well, considering the quality of the legal representation he’s getting these days, I guess it’s no surprise. Maybe the Harris campaign should file a similar suit against Fox for not letting her come and sit on the couch and blather on for hours. ---

Meh. It’s his standard play. Those types of threats work pretty well against the middle class contractors he’s used to ripping off. You’d think he (and his team) would know better than trying that sort of second rate crime boss tactic against a major corporation, but they’ve done it repeatedly now proving once again he’s never been the sharpest tool in the shed. Worse, it’s pretty clear he’s at minimum suffering some age related dropoff in cognition, if not outright senile dementia or worse. ---

Trump’s playbook is that the headlines have to report him fighting someone every single day. CBS is a nice big dragon to tilt at in the final week of the election. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > It’s a good example of Poe’s law in action. You know, I give up. I watched the video once, not knowing it was satire, and just kept saying to myself “WTF is wrong with that guy?” I watched it again, knowing it’s a put-on, and laughed myself silly. The line is so blurred these days, you just don’t know anymore. (It reminds me of the first time I saw “Heathers”. A good friend kept insisting I needed to go see it, but wouldn’t tell me what it was about. And it took me about 3/4 of the way through the movie to decide it was a satire. 🤦‍♂️) ---
