I was reading the latest Haberman column in the NYT and it sounds like the drugs are both stripping away the last shreds of Trump’s sanity, and he is finally realizing he may very well lose. The first debate, his SCOTUS nominee, his recovery (for now) from the virus – none of it is working in his favor, he’s falling farther behind. And he is very much the “if I’m going down you’re fucking well going down with me” type.

Semi-serious question – if Biden wins decisively, what are the odds the GOP does an about-face to salvage what they can from the wreckage, sections Trump under the 25th Amendment, and Pence takes over to handle the transition? Otherwise, Trump has until January 20th to start a war or otherwise keep stirring up shit.

Well. That was horrifying. The part in the Twilight Zone episode where it stops being ironic and starts being creepy on the way to legitimately terrifying. Well done Roy, and what are you using for the insomnia, anyway? Because if you're gonna share it around, you should share your hints too.

When you started writing about Trump's "formula," it seemed an excellent parody. But here we are and Donald Trump is literally being kept ambulatory by a cocktail of extremely powerful drugs that have all kinds of bizarre psychological side effects. Reality outstrips parody once again.

Trump’s poll numbers are headed for the infamous 27%, the DOJ is too busy arresting white supremacists to go after Obama, Nancy Pelosi is trolling him with a proposed commission on the 25th amendment, Mitch McConnell is not so evil that he’ll expose himself to the Coronavirus Swamp that is the White House, Pence drove the last suburban housewife holdouts into Biden’s arms, the Presidential Debate Commission grew a spine and told Trump to go cough onto his PC, the virus is exploding in the Midwest. Yep, definitely time for a big rally in Florida. Uh-huh, sure, good idea, get out there and try to make it through a speech without a cough the media will run on every Sunday talk show.

As for Hopey, the shtick that there’s, say, a problem between them, I don’t know. Stumbled across a photo of the two of them on the electric tweet thing where she looks no shit ecstatic to be with him. Indeed, both are glowing so much in each other’s company that it’s disgusting.

"With a scream HICKS wrenches away and flees." She works for the bum, right? This one doesn't add up.

Is this the end of Rico? Is this the beginning of RICO? Is this the beginning of the end?

Isn’t that the one with the famous scene where Bacall says, “You just pucker up your lips and blow”?

Very nasty. As it happens, my sister and I watched Key Largo with attention a few days ago.

The same comparison presented itself to us.

The fact that Edward G. Robinson's Rocco dwarfs Trump in intelligence and organizational ability, sitting on top of a similar pathological egotism, agonizingly points up our current horrible fiasco.

Trump's mad spews over the last days brings up the question of how to legally keep crazy persons from gaining the White House
