Damn. He got one right. He is a total con. Nice of him to admit it in writing, though.

I’ve forgetten: Did he pay to have sex with “horseface” or just pay her to not talk about his mushroom penis?

Which is worse: Being a “horseface” or a “horse’s ass?” Guess which describes Mushroom Dick?

On CNN today, the talking heads were working on the supposition that Trump does this kind of stuff to distract us: don’t talk about Saudi Arabia, let’s talk about some silly sex scandal.

I think it’s just the opposite: he’s doing it to distract _himself_. Working on foreign policy and economic policy is hard and boring. Getting in Twitter feuds is fun, and what he’s good at. So this is what he’s doodling when he should be doing his homework.

In a way, it’s both: to distract himself as well as (unintentionally?) distract the MAGAts who follow him.

Caligula’s one.  
It could had been a better politician than many Republicans nowadays…\*

- And as this is the SD, it has to be pointed out that Incitatus, Caligula’s horse, was not ever appointed to the Roman senate or to a position in the Roman government.

> The emperor Caligula lavished attention on his favourite horse Incitatus, holding parties for friends in the steed’s grand stables. But did he make his horse a consul?

I hope his fans are paying attention here because the folks arrested for fraud in the last election were Republicans.

_BEEP!_ (My bold)

Sorry, that is another invalidating combination of words, i.e., “his fans” and “paying attention.” The word “hope” in there was kind of sweet and sad.

Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National **Emergy.** Must change laws!

Bolding mine - that tweet has been up two hours. You know it’s a National Emergy when unknown terrorists and other bogey men are headed our way! Cue the Jaws music! Duh dunt…duh dunt…

Da Mooch isn’t the normal MAGA hat wearing dipshit that Trump is targeting with his outlandishly false tweets. The MAGAts eat it up.

I saw an interview with the Mooch on Morning Joe yesterdayish, where he essentially said, “Yes Trump lies, but people prefer his message.” then talked about how democrats needed to reformulate their message to something that people preferred, even if it wasn’t true.

Is that actually where we are going, where we just vote for the best liar?

Trump’s not even a good liar. He’s easily debunked, but his followers consider it a sin to go down that path. Even if it’s 100% evident he’s lying, at least he’s not Hillary or Obama / at least he won’t take our guns away / at least he’s against abortion.

There was a series of Zippy the Pinhead comics back in 1980, where Zippy was convinced to run for president against Carter & Reagan, because he fit the definition of “A Moron With Charisma.” His non-sequiturs and offhand nods to current fads and cultural memes got him elected.

Trump used the same formula. It didn’t matter what he said. It was how he looked when he said it: confident and uncompromising. That apparently is the key to success in today’s America.

Today he tweeted about the fake news story about how he inappropriately uses his cell phone to inform us that he rarely uses a cell phone. The tweet [came from his cell phone](https://thinkprogress.org/donald-trump-twitter-iphone-russia-china-spy-phone-calls-9588431ca568/).
