Bad idea. The number is only going upwards and if he gets a new moniker every day, nobody will know who you’re talking about. > Ahh, yes, Ol’ 257. I remember him from last year. What is he now, 523, or is it 684? So hard to keep up. ---

Rudy apparently has the intelligence to put his shoes on front to back. One would think that anyone with a trace of self respect would not stoop so low as to lie so stupidly and transparently. On the other hand, these are Republicans. Self respect is not really something they are known for. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Trump’s ‘becoming more desperate’ now he sees ‘orange jumpsuits that are inevitably coming for him’ I guess I’m not a professor of criminology & criminal justice, but I formed the same opinion weeks ago. You can see Trump’s posts and behavior becoming more unhinged as the weeks have passed. Just the other week he released 30+ videos in a single day. A few weeks ago he begged Congress to put a stop to the prosecutions. He’s scared. ---

> [@Odesio](#): > > I guess I’m not a professor of criminology & criminal justice, but I formed the same opinion weeks ago. I think to form that opinion, you rather have to be a psychologist with a lot of experience in psychopathic and narcissistic behavior than a criminologist or jurist. Being able to predict how a psychopathic narcissist thinks and acts when driven into a corner… But yes, I know on the internet, we’re all hobby psychologists. 😉 ---

Just because he is in another country doesn’t mean that he will be gone from our lives, not if he is still able to spew on the internet and agitate his base. I don’t know which would be more apt to make him a martyr, actually being in prison, or being in exile. We won’t be rid of him until he’s dead, and maybe not even then. ---
