The fascist authoritarian Republican Party wants to keep him propped up just long enough for the SC nom to get pushed through, steal the election, then rightly feed him and his family to the wolves so that a corporate stooge like Pence can assume power. The loss will be acceptable, but martyrdom pays less. Still, I get the feeling from the overt displays of hubris of the donor class that they feel insulated enough, whereupon if drumpf and his death cult of goons decide to burn down some stuff, they'll still be able to keep the casino games going.

It was weird, right? At first it sounded to me like he was trying to keep his voice low because his kids were asleep in the next room or something. I chalked up the strange annunciation to trying to speak quietly and forcefully at the same time. But... nope. Can’t figure it out.

As for his dad- my husband is a nurse and kinda worried about the known side effects of that steroid Senior is taking. Demented, crazy, AND under the influence of a drug that negatively affects mental status. That’s a horrifying combo for the guy with the nuclear codes! Do we even dare to hope that there’s a plastic, play version of that thing they call The Football- like, maybe a Nerf Nuclear Football?

See the Bulwark piece, "The Other Democratic Party". There are a lot of rural voters whose towns work because of corrupt nepotistic bullies who are also competent. They think Trump is another one. They miss the incompetent part.

I got a fortune cookie once that said that if you do not manage your subconscious then someone else will do it for you.
