I guess Trump is providing commentary on a pay per view boxing match today. Trump junior took to social media looking for questions people could pose to the con man. “Is he going to advise the dude who gets knocked out to call the fight rigged?” cracked one Twitter user, referencing the former president’s penchant for pushing lies about the 2020 election. > **[Donald Trump Jr.’s Appeal For Questions To Ask His Dad Goes Exactly How You’d...](https://news.yahoo.com/donald-trump-jr-appeal-questions-064512319.html)** > > Donald Trump's son called for topics to talk about with his father during their 9/11 boxing commentary gig. He received some critical responses. ---

Ran into my MagaNut acquaintance today, (the one who thinks 5g makes dimes stick to your forehead). He was wearing a Halloween Satan costume with a large plastic needle as necklace. So I guess Satan is behind vaccinations? ---

> [@SuntanLotion](#): > > He’d walked around the city waving a giant flag on Jan.6 Wait— Which city? I understand there was a bit of a ruckus in Washington DC that day involving people waving not only flags but truncheons, bear spray, etc. ---

He’s basically the nutter at the end of the block wearing a diaper and waving a large “the end of the world is coming” sign. These mentally fragile folks have always been with us. But now, they are running a major political party. Edit: Which makes me wonder… What does your more middle of the road Republican think of when these folks appear to be “on their side”. Are they embarrassed? Even little bit? I mean, when the raving loonies are spouting the same stuff you are… does it make them think “gee, maybe I don’t want to be in the raving loony party”? ---

Rudy Giuliani took the stage at a 9/11 memorial dinner tonight, blind drunk with his glasses askew, and proceeded to impersonate the Queen, joke about his friendship with Prince Andrew, repeats a falsehood about the non-existant titles of nobility amendment, and fantasize about assaulting the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (who he thinks is named “Miley”). > > Remember when this guy actually had a chance at becoming President? ---
