He ain’t acting. Also, when that behavior is your one strength, you’re not going to change it, no matter what.

They’ll keep him hanging on, until he’s … well, forever, barring enhancement surgery.

Maybe he can do a variation on _Wicked_ and sing “Defying Sanity”

What’s important to understand is what compelled state officials to resist the pressures of the Trump machine. I will confess that I wasn’t sure they’d be able to resist for long. I’d like to know what it was that compelled them to say, "_No, folks, Orange Julius really did lose this election, sorry to say."_ I think it’s important to understand this now because there might be a next time, and next time, there might be people with less integrity in positions to throw an election.

Donnie Boy is lamenting the fact that, in Wisconsin, Biden got a whole shitload of votes at 3 in the morning, and without those votes, Trump would win.

That ‘dump’ was when the mail-in ballot tabulation was added to the totals.

He’s gone over the edge (if it even existed). This is something he actually believes is true. His aides/family/Fox News could explain it to him using hand puppets and he still wouldn’t get it.

He’ll tell you his tariffs with China brought in billions/trillions to the US treasury. He’ll claim Mexico paid for the wall.

Never let it be said that, while he was president, he was a “Popular” one

Kristin Chenoweth (who, as the original “Glinda” in _Wicked_ first popularized the song) has presented versions that poked fun at Republican politicians George Bush and Anthony Weiner (the lyrics of the original song are obviously meant to skewer Ronald Reagan), but as far as I know, she hasn’t done the same for Trump (even though she performed the song on TV in 2018).

You can listen to Randy Rainbow doing his version “Unpopular”, though – [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPg0BWvhMkA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPg0BWvhMkA)

Maybe DumpsterFire is more brillianter than we thought.

1. He’s been laying the groundwork for an insanity (mental defect) defense for a number of years now and doubling/quadrupling down recently on the paranoid delusional aspect.

2. With Ghoulani, he’ll be able to make the claim of, “ineffective assistance of counsel”.

3. Nah, just the dementia kicking in.

Weiner was a Democrat, and a very effective representative until he got caught letting his little head do the thinking.

I’m perfectly fine with having him locked up in a mental institution for the rest of his life instead of a jail cell, especially if we can put a Nurse Ratched-type in charge of his treatment.
