Did some people have the gall to expect a second bottle of water just because their lives were in danger?
Only Donnie gets two scoops bottles of water!
Oh, I’m resigned to the damage continuing after Trump because he’s a symptom rather than the cause of our problems. A healthy political body doesn’t produce a festering sore like Trump. In all honesty, I’m not sure what would be best. I don’t believe there’s anyone to take Trump’s place, certainly not Vance or any of the lickspittles Trump has surrounded himself with, but I thought his political career was over on January 6, 2021, so what do I know?
The question is if the forces behind the Republicans would organize them effectively without Trump or not, I would prefer not to chance it until after the midterms, at least.
The powerful people at the top would still be able to rally around and cause trouble when Trump farts himself to death, but the rabid fanbase of voters would fall away quite quickly, I think.
I fear they would rally one last time to honor their dead cult leader.
To him, certainly. I can’t help wondering if some of those cashing in (and therefore allowing this) have any moments of uneasiness about the harm Donny has done to our national security. Perhaps not—the pleasure of counting all that cash may well quiet the murmurings of common sense.
Maybe we’ll eventually learn of ‘extra-judicial’ actions taken by these fans-of-Stalin et al.
And, they are, I suspect, very certain that the leopards will only eat other people’s faces.
Yeah, you’re probably right.
Nothing exceeds the human capacity to rationalize.
So did Trump deliver a very long speech in the heat today, thereby proving he can do anything?
He was blathering on my alarm clock-radio at 7am Pacific time, 10am Eastern time, so maybe he beat the heat a little by starting early?
I guess he didn’t faceplant from it, but how did it go otherwise?
Not yet. He isn’t supposed to speak until around 9:45pm Eastern.
OK, thanks, something still to look forward to (not the speech, the faceplanting). Is he speaking before the fireworks?
I don’t know what he was blathering about this morning or where, I turned it off immediately.
That’s the published schedule, at least.
He gave a rambling, typical Trump speech at Mount Rushmore yesterday, and you may have been hearing excerpts from that.
Maybe if he rambles too much, they’ll “play him off” with a few explosions.
It might have been slightly more unhinged than usual. Which is expected for someone in decline.
A series of tests – one quite new – that would certainly reassure me as to Trump’s cognitive state if he were to (actually, himself – not paying somebody else to) take them:
Also, if “Construct Validation of a Remote Brain Health Assessment Battery to Evaluate Vocational Aptitude and Factors Associated With Cognitive Resilience in the Military: Observational Trial” isn’t the absolute best acronym/initialism to ever come out of social sciences research, then I don’t know what is!

It’s almost hard to believe it isn’t the title of a Bob Dylan song.
The Navy likes that sort of thing. For example, Fleet ASW Training Center Pacific is FLEASWTRACENPAC.
“This just in: a major epidemic of choking deaths plagues American naval facilities after voice control systems are installed.”
I pronounced it ‘flee-sw(a)-trassen-pak’.
I like the story about how CINCUS (Commander in Chief, U.S. Fleet) was changed to COMINCH (Commander in Chief, U.S. Navy) after Pearl Harbor, because the pronunciation of CINCUS was too embarrassing.
CINCUS
Mission Accomplished!
