What happened? It’s like he was trying to shake the hand of someone that wasn’t there, like stepping on the top step that isn’t there or leaning against a wall not realizing you’re 2 feet away from it. My WAG, if it wasn’t a medical event (even something as simple as being lightheaded) or alcohol related, is something with his right leg. He appears to have either rolled his right angle and/or his knee went sideways. But that he seemed to be eyeing that chair, along with whatever he was doing with his pocket, it before it happened is what makes me think it was medical/alcohol and he was trying to sit down before he fell. Or maybe he just tripped over something. Hard to tell. ---

That was the highlight of the convention. It was funny to see everybody jockeying for a shot at his humiliation. ---

Rudy should have one of those warning stickers they put on gasoline pumps, since one spark and he might go up in flames. ---

Bad people own the damage they caused. IMO it is completely moral and upstanding to hope Rudy and other similar characters suffer grievously every remaing day they have on Earth. Anything less than wishing for retribution amounts to exponeration. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Bad people own the damage they caused. I agree. None of this was an accident. It has been a deliberate action caused by assholes. Illegal orders are still illegal no matter who they come from. Direct support of those trying to destroy our country and overthrow the government should be met with firm, decisive action. Due process is VERY important. But this is just getting silly.
