It's interesting that, of course, our wildest dreams of Trump going down in flames could be realized here, but it isn't that easy, I think. One way or another, Donald Trump will be gone, but the path of destruction especially in the courts all the way to the SC will take generations to repair, along with the guns and racism that are out of the bottle. And, all around the world for a very long time America will be known as the nation that elected this man to the highest office in the land as the leader of the free world. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. And dammit.

It’s embarrassing to be an American today.

Doesnt this sound familiar - remember Guiliani's attempt at being a paid celebrity for special occasions? How far TFG has fallen! (well, actually, he couldnt fall far enough to change my opinion of him)

It’s all so hilarious. Especially the MAGAts finally starting to realize they’ve been playing Three Card Monte. Im sure it’s just a fantasy on my part, but is it possible they may start to question the whole GOP effort since 1967 to play them for fools?

A new meaning to “Garbage In, Garbage Out. ” Repugs adhere to “Let the Buyer Beware,” so tough luck to the suckers who throw their money away on tRump.

This surely took place in a time warp somewhere. crazy, crazy, crazy. I liike the quotes you assembled at the end. This could never be sold as a plot for a short story (or maybe I'm wrong :-) )

Why would I need to buy his picture when I already have it on every sheet of toilet paper with his mouth in his signature O ready to receive the next donation, my guests including my grandchildren think it’s hysterical, so yes I did buy it, but I doubt he was involved in any way. Maybe the NRA will turn them into targets now that the repugnantkins are starting to distance themselves from the most lunatic of our fringes🤷‍♂️😎

I thought he was trying out for a gig as the new age Peewee Herman.

I told my husband 2 years ago that Trump would use the "crazy as the Mafia boss who walked around little Italy to stay out of jail" card. Remember that guy, shuffling arou d in his slippers and bathrobe. The Donald learned well.

I especially like the thing about "trading cards" replacing "jump the shark." there was some talk about his possibly announcing that he was officially "running" for Speaker. I thought something like "wow...the moment of Reckoning for what was once called the 'Republican Party.' " but it wouldn't have been the first such occasion, and on previous occasions, it didn't work out too well for them. I then played out in my head what that would look like, and thought it might make a swell political sitcom (think "Veep," but with terrible writers), but it would be a nightmare in reality.

I grew up a few miles from him (my sister had a house about two blocks from his "family home) and at around the same time, so I know exactly what he spent his early childhood watching on television. it had a profound influence on me...much more profound than most of it deserved. but I like to think I managed to move a little beyond it. all of us KNOW he did not. not such a great influence, live drama and "Omnibus" notwithstanding. and in his announcement, he betrayed the fact that he never collected trading cards because if he had, he'd know how IMPORTANT collecting was to collectors and wouldn't be so quick to say his cards were somehow better (actually, there aren't even any cards) more and more, it seems obvious that he doesn't actually know ANYTHING, except that you can't be a LOSER. joke's on The Fat Fuck.

it's gonna be fun watching him drown in his own effluvia. I hope that saying this won't jinx it.
