MSNBC did used to have a prison reality show. Sounds like a match!

Do you think he'll be able to do a reality show from Leavenworth? What will it be called? Orange is the New Orange? Although as I think about it, it could be very entertaining. I'm sure some of his fellow inmates would make for some very interesting guests.

Maybe Reality Winner can give him a swirlie.

Sure, but more goth, less metal.

Also too, I'm pretty sure there wasn't a recess in which to make a recess appointment, because an earlier SCOTUS ruling during the Obama era said that pro-forma sessions count as "not in recess".

Ah, here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi... -- Breyer wrote the opinion for the rest of the liberals plus Kennedy, and Scalia wrote a concurrence for the conservatives. That is, 9-0.

We will be watching the conclusion of Season 3 of Wynonna Earp tonight. Screw that.

Trump is stupid and contagious.

Here's the thing: these town halls are pointless. They won't persuade anyone to vote for either of the candidates. The risk for Drumpf is that Joe's ratings turn out higher than his. The ratings are really all that Donnie cares about, and he's risking embarrassment by getting beat by Sleepy Joe.

Give ABC the ratings just to screw Trump, then go back to ignoring them.

Drumpf was a disaster at his last town hall. Remember the nice lady telling him to please shut the fuck up and let her finish? I'm actually surprised he agreed to do another one.

The only good that might come of this is Trump gets walloped in the ratings. I would really really really enjoy that. Otherwise this move by NBC is like King Solomon offering to cut up the baby.

Drumpf has deteriorated a lot since 2016. Even with the gentlest kid glove treatment, there's a good chance that he'll self destruct.
