You can’t make up stuff like that. Well, actually you _can_ - but no satire could surpass that original. ---

> [@JackieLikesVariety](#): > > I listened, and though I’m sure other episodes talk more about his dementia, the latest one focuses more on what he says since he was found guilty and what it means, especially to his followers. > > well worth a listen. I got through about half of it, and wasn’t impressed with the level of commentary. Certainly nothing we haven’t heard before, about everything that Trump accuses Biden of, is projection of his own behavior, and sometimes he loses the thread of what he’s saying and sinks into word salad, and so on. Not incisive or particularly interesting psychologically. ---

Fascism came it didn’t make even a vaguely plausible attempt to be either very religious or patriotic, and got voted in anyway ---

There’s a lot of laughing and shit talking in this video and not a whole lot of insightful analysis. I think they are feeling some powerful schadenfreude in this one and that takes the conversation off track from what he usually discusses. But in previous videos I have found he’s very clear on what actual symptoms Trump is manifesting and what this is going to mean in the near future: every day will bring further cognitive decline. Give Trump a week or so to rack up some fresh material from new (well not new but you know what I mean) rants and I am sure the good doctor will give us a better video tracking the progression of Trump’s brain turning to soup. ---
