[oblong]

For those who are not aware…. Nancy, according to the rumor mongers, was said to be very good at something in Hollywood circles when she met Ron.

it's taking longer than it ever should have, but when you draw a lot of terrible people together around an even more terrible person, sooner or later they will start eating their own.

There's some inside baseball sour grapes at play here (ie. Trump refusing to endorse for a Governor/Senate run in Georgia) and don't want to down play that.

However, Marge certainly also recognizes more than others that Donald Trump is increasingly becoming an albatross politically. And on top of that is 80 years old, his brain is mashed potatoes and, eventually, that he's going to die.

Trump has, to date, snuffed out the ambition of a lot of GOP reps, but as he continues to become more of a liability politically and as he continues to fade mentally, it wouldn't surprise me if you start to see more jailbreaks. Just surprised we're seeing more from the far right, although let's be honest, the mainstream/moderate types in the GOP are absolute squishes

I assume people know that MRI's are often used to confirm dementia. It is a very difficult condition to diagnose, and the MRI is the last and most invasive step after ruling several other things out.

Or maybe he needs Tommy John...

I'm actually surprised-it sounds like he's complimenting whoever 'they' are for analyzing it well. Does that mean 'they've' been convinced to say that everything is just fine?

He’s bragged about taking cognitive tests, so the next step is the MRI.

I have questions.

• Why are we cheering her saying she still defends Trump against the Epstein charges?
• Since when did iOS start hyphenating running text?
• Who’s Natalie?

What I can't understand is how Trump supporters are perfectly fine with their God sexually assaulting children, but if they find out he was giving Clinton a Monica Lewinski, that will be the ballgame for Dementia Don.

The Clinton/Trump thing seems like the reddest of red herrings.  But, if it gets couch ****er level traction with the normies...then cool.  They deserve it. All of it.

This reads a lot more as a "let them fight" thing than MTG being "cheered" on to me.

I'm not convinced she's a changed person yet. It could be that she's starting to reconsider, or, more likely, that she's thinking ahead to supporting things that will enable Republicans to stay in power (at least she's saying that this would be by producing results for average Americans, so there's that).

While she'll probably never be somebody I'd vote for, it would be nice to have people in Congress who are decent people I just happen to disagree with. 

It'll take time and results before I'm convinced.

True.

I doubt she's changed at all, I don't particularly care if she has or hasn't frankly. The infighting spilling out from behind closed doors and into the public is naturally going to be a source of schadenfreude. And in the short term is useful (long term debatable, but none of us have control over that)

And as much as Trump's supporters AND many of his opponents build him up into this mythical force of nature that cannot be stopped, the moment where jailbreaks would start to occur when evidence of the ground shifting started to become noticed (ie. The elections last week) was inevitable. The Epstein stuff was gasoline on the fire.

These are politicians after all... They are ambitious, they want to move up, and to do so they often run to where the American public is going in the aggregate. A diminished Trump hobbled by a lousy economy and dogged by the Epstein stuff is a liability, not an asset

This observation is spot on. I person may be a nut but have more personal courage than a pilot fish like Mike Johnson.

Because outside of being gay and having photos to prove a gag act, there is really nothing that can be in there that will move the needle in a meaningful way.  This is all good fodder but there won’t be ramifications for any men.

IMO, she is setting herself up for a presidential run. She is moderating her craziness for this reason.

To be fair, I even think AOC is toning down her stances a bit as well for the same reason.

Next he’ll start looking into her real estate purchasers

Even his nicknames a getting weaker. He will never reach the peak of “Tiny D” again.
