Here’s a weird thought. Perhaps Don Juan is going out in a blaze of glory intentionally. He expects to lose – maybe even wants to lose – knows he is only going to have this power for another six months, so he is not even going to pretend to care about “norms” and “customs.” He has decided to be the most corrupt, the most blatant, the most venal, irredeemable boor he can be. His true, unrestrained self. “You’re going to dump me, so I’m going to show you just how BAD I can be.”
Which reminds me as it should remind his supporters, the virus did not go away with the warmer weather, it seems to be getting worse. Maybe they have selective memories, if any at all.
I never really thought about it before, but it would be difficult to assassinate this guy. The bullet would have to penetrate at least 24 inches of pure lard before it reached a vital organ. And then without a heart to hit, the injury wouldn’t be fatal anyway.
“The emperor has no clothes,” cried the boy. “Fake news,” replied the emperor. And the emperor’s minions set about destroying the boy’s credibility, using social media and attack ads.
Conservative commentators saying how “manly/studly” PINO Trump looked wearing a mask and how foolish various Dems look with theirs. Talk about desperation.
“Suppose an emperor was persuaded to wear a new suit of clothes whose material was so fine that, to the common eye, the clothes weren’t there. And suppose a little boy pointed out this fact in a loud clear voice . . . Then you have The Story Of The Emperor Who Had No Clothes. But if you knew a bit more, it would be The Story Of The Boy Who Got A Well-Deserved Thrashing From His Dad For Being Rude To Royalty, And Was Locked Up. Or The Story Of The Whole Crowd That Was Rounded Up By The Guards And Told ‘This Didn’t Happen, Okay? Does Anyone Want To Argue?’”

I’m pretty sure he’s only orange on his face and maybe arms. And I’m very thankful that I don’t have any evidence either way about my supposition.

If he’s really so “YUGE”, where is it? Stormy needs to write a book.

If Trump bent over far enough to see past his gut and look at his nether regions, he’d fall over.
