    Nah... I mean a full blown mental breakdown on live TV.

    Seriously, I wouldn't normally wish a full mental breakdown on anybody, but this dude would deserve one if anyone does.

    I've recently had a number of conversations with anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers and these people are virtual zombies.

    There's no cogent argument you can make that will convince them the coronavirus exists. Many of them believe it's either a false flag
    operation and the afflicted are crisis actors, or the virus is no worse than the common cold.

    Trump supporters are the same, If Trump melts down on National TV it will only strengthen their belief that the media can't be trusted.
    They'll call it fake news and claim it wasn't really trump on stage but a body-double.

    While this is true, Trump can't hold office from a fuckin' rubber room.

    Biden won the 2020 election from the basement of his home in Delaware, don't think for a moment Trump can't win the 2024 election from his padded cell in the basement of the Hospital's psych ward.

    Trump continues to claim divine immunity, even as a former president and for words that he said in his personal capacity outside the scope of the executive branch.


    Judge questions Trump's claim of 'absolute immunity' in Jan. 6 lawsuits

    excerpt:

    "But the plaintiffs argue that Trump's alleged incitement of his supporters was delivered as a candidate making a campaign speech and thus falls outside of the immunity afforded to a president's official duties.

    "Those are actions that have to fall outside the scope of the presidency," Joseph Sellers, an attorney for Thompson, said during Monday's hearing. "The president could promote treason in a public forum, and by Mr. Binnall's argument, the court would be powerless to assess whether his conduct ... is immune."

    Still, Mehta appeared on Monday to be unsure about where president's legal shield begins and ends, expressing caution about setting a precedent that could hinder a president's speech.

    "How does any judge make a distinction between what is speech in a purely personal capacity, which you say is not subject to immunity versus that which is within the presidential capacity?" Mehta asked.

    Sellers argued that the law makes plenty of distinctions between official duties and campaign activities, and that Trump's remarks fall far outside of the bounds of legitimate presidential speech that should be protected."

    Mo Brooks tried the same ploy with the DOJ and lost.

    Hernandez pleaded guilty today to her involvement in Trump's riot.

    She's also been hit with drunk driving charges that resulted in the death of a 32-year-old mother of two on the eve of the one-year anniversary of Trump's riot at the Capitol.


    Missouri woman admits to role in Capitol riot days after fatal crash


    excerpt:

    "SULLIVAN, Mo. —

    A Missouri woman who was photographed last year carrying a wooden name plate torn from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor for her role in the insurrection and was ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation and substance abuse treatment.

    The Kansas City Star reports that 22-year-old Emily Hernandez, of Sullivan, entered the guilty plea to entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds during a video conference.

    She was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in a crash last Wednesday on Interstate 44 in Franklin County. The head-on collision killed 32-year-old Victoria Wilson, of St. Clair, and seriously injured her husband."

    Trump is in a difficult situation either way.

    If he is claiming he was speaking in the capacity of President at his Jan. 6 rally, then he is subject to being held accountable by Congress in the political realm and referral to the DOJ in the criminal realm for his behavior (which he also rejects), including negligence for not acting for three hours while the riot ensued, people died, and an official government proceeding was being obstructed while he was in the White House aware of the situation.

    Even in this situation, which involves a direct, violent, physical attack on the Capitol that could have been remedied promptly by Trump, executive privilege and immunity pleas are sketchy, and more so for a former president (examples are privilege and immunity related cases lost by Nixon and Clinton while they were still in office that didn't involve a blatant, deadly attack on the Capitol).

    If Trump wants to claim he was acting in his personal capacity outside the realm of the executive branch to try to avoid being held accountable by Congress and the DOJ, then he has no basis to even make a plea of executive privilege and immunity, let alone be granted it (as Rep. Mo Brooks discovered after the DOJ rejected his plea to be defended by the DOJ for civil suits against him precipitated by his caustic 'take down names and kicking ass' speech made in his personal capacity at Trump's Jan. 6 rally).

    In Trump's case, it's 'so much whining'.

    In the likeness of Trump's words during the 2016 campaign, they'll be so much whining that you'll be begging me to stop all the whining.

    They're all sheep.

    And it speaks volumes that Trump supporters still believe he was robbed of the election when there's absolutely no proof, just him saying it. He's a motherfucking cult leader. Unfortunately, I have family members who believe his crap.

    As I've said, Trump and his followers either can't comprehend, or refuse to acknowledge, that he didn't win because he's Donald Trump. He won because he wasn't Hilary Clinton. On the other hand, he lost re-election because he's Donald Trump.
