A woman in the crowd at Trump’s rally is in need of medical attention. Someone evidently asks for water, and DJT takes a bottle from under the podium and proceeds to take a drink. > ---

I think he interpreted the call for water as one of his faithful urging him to keep hydrated in the heat. ETA: Or he really is demented. ---

Thanks (and to **Railer13** ). All I got from Google for OTF was “Only The Family.” I suppose I should have added “knife” to the search. ---

I’m wondering now if that knife is spring loaded. I suspect it is more like a utility knife where you have to slide the button on the side about 2" to slide the blade out. ---

Trump wants to shield Biden from prosecution after he leaves office. [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-pressures-republicans-to-pass-a-law-to-keep-him-out-of-jail-forever/ar-BB1mZyi2](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-pressures-republicans-to-pass-a-law-to-keep-him-out-of-jail-forever/ar-BB1mZyi2) > [@](#): > > In recent months, the sources say, Trump has spoken to several GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill, attorneys, and other associates about the possibility of Republicans passing legislation in a second Trump term that would shield former presidents from non-federal prosecutions. In recent conversations with closely-aligned lawmakers, Trump has pressured them to do so, describing it as imperative that he signs such a bill into law, if he again ascends to the Oval Office. Actually Trump would probably want to only shield himself using a law like that. ---
