The felon continued to defame Carrol. Another lawsuit could be coming if she’s vindictive enough. And these are civil suits. SCOTUS said these were okay, unless Roberts continues to fold up like a cheap suitcase.

Plus, while he might not be out the cash, that the outfits who thought they would make some money off of him and won’t is all on them. “You knew I was a snake when you picked me up.”

Are you kidding me? This is the guy who remembers slights at a party twenty years ago. When there’s actual money on the line, he’ll remember on his deathbed, murmuring, “Carroll,” not, “Rosebud.”

Speaking of Trump’s deathbed… I wonder if any of the living ex-presidents will attend his funeral.

He has probably specified that none of them be invited. And they all seem pretty much done with him anyway. He wasn’t invited to Obama’s library opening.

Nah, I hope they have a parade. Maybe a fair. A real one.

Myself, I’m going to fly an American flag and turn on my festive lights.

While I can understand that, I have a feeling my reaction will be similar to when Nixon announced that he would (and actually did) resign: as the old adage goes, the wonderful peace that descends when you stop hitting yourself in the head with a hammer.

Rupar has several clips of that Dakota speech. Donald is hanging on to the podium as if it’s the only thing holding him up. His voice is hesitant, slow, with lots of slurring. The people at the rally are utterly silent.

Whatever they dose him with for the Big Events, they did _ **not** _ employ for this particular speech.

Or they did and we saw the hyped up version or as close as he can get now, which would be a disquieting thought if I wanted him to look halfway normal and energetic

More just the tone. Starting his cadence way up here with a sort of delicate introduction and then moving away down low in the belly to market the big point. I’m just waiting for him to reach for a box of donuts and roll off the stage while he shoves one in his mouth whole.

Just think of the knowledge being generated by the Dosing of Donald. If we could have any confidence that the medical people involved would report it accurately, it could be quite valuable.

Subject was seen to find his way around and stand with minimal aid, but insisted he was talking to dead people, who gave him advice. And the advice was bad.
