‘Bizarre rambles’: New Yorker writer examines Trump’s ‘age-related diminishment’
The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser on Friday took stock of former President Donald Trump’s lengthy rant to congressional Republicans on Friday that one member compared to the ramblings of a “drunk uncle.”
“If there were ever a case for age-related diminishment of a candidate, Trump is it,” Glasser contended. “The ex-President’s bizarre rambles and odd obsessions—remember the whole cancer-causing-windmills thing?—have long characterized his public performances. But, in the 2024 campaign, the weird has got decidedly weirder.”
“Just this past weekend, Trump interrupted a campaign rally in Nevada for an extended discourse on what one should do about a hypothetical shark attack when aboard a hypothetically sinking electric boat, and how he himself would prefer electrocution to being eaten by the shark—a sentence, which, as I am writing it, makes absolutely no sense and yet is a more or less accurate summary of what Trump said,” she recounted.
“It’s also worth noting that Trump, pushing eighty, has made so many gaffes involving mixed-up names and places that they are hardly treated as major news—he has confused Pelosi with his Republican primary opponent Nikki Haley, forgotten that he is running against Biden and not Barack Obama, and once thought that he was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, when he was in Sioux City, Iowa,” she noted. “Wherever one stands on the broader question of Trump’s mental health, the evident decline in his ability to speak clearly and coherently feels striking.”
When Trump’s teleprompter goes down his crazy comes out.
If this Great Nation survives this latest assault by conservative forces, history will recognize Mitch McConnell as the primary planner of our demise. Loading the courts, refusing to hear legal nominees, installing and enabling tRump, promising his caucus that he could control tRump and failing are McConnell’s legacy. His plan was to have a president to just sign whatever Mitch put in front of him, no questions asked. Instead he gave us a rapist and convicted felon who would be a dictator and end our democratic-republic. Upon realizing how he has failed so completely, McConnell doesn’t try to right the wrongs he brought. Instead he announces his stepping down, and he retreats into his tortoise shell. Mitch McConnell is a coward and an inadvertent enemy of the U.S.
‘Lock him up’: Ex-prosecutor says Trump’s political victories make jail time more likelyFormer President Donald Trump’s success in securing the presumptive Republican nomination make it more likely he’ll be sentenced to jail time on criminal charges, a former prosecutor argued Friday.
I have to thank Mitch for one thing, proving to me that I am a decent human being. When I saw that footage of him freezing for the first time I thought “Oh no, I hope he is OK” and I flipping despise that man.

Mitch is dying. The orange mistake seems to be losing what little mental acuity he had. Match made in… well, not heaven.

The Republicans are what they are, Folks. No honor or integrity, just a complete loyalty to the Orange Stain Skidmark.

Moscow Mitch may be healthier than Mendacious Megalomaniac and live longer. I don’t know if that’s better or not.
