Trump Derangement Syndrome is real (but not in the way the right wing media thinks it's real)

They thought Hilary voters were big babies but I don't remember any of my friends going door to door nine months later to double check their neighbors. JFC.

After his year of almost non-stop assaults on American democracy, it’s very strange to watch Donald Trump talk boxing, enjoy himself, and be in charge of absolutely nothing for a few hours. This bizarrre appearance on a mostly tedious three-hour stream felt like a peek into another reality: One in which the 45th president accepted his electoral loss last November, and instead of flirting with a second run, he spent his time chasing quick cash in man-o-sphere appearances — events that can be outrageously fun and stupid if you choose to engage and completely inconsequential if you do not.

As the night wore on, it got more absurd. Before Evander Holyfield got in the ring with former UFC champ Vitor Belfort, the audience was asked to observe the anniversary of 9/11 for a 10-count of the bell. The silence was broken up by a woman yelling, “Feel that fuckers!” “Shut the fuck up!” the crowd screamed back. The memorial bell tolled as the audience booed and a woman in short shorts walked around the ring with an American flag.

So apparently the person who was able to stop Mike Pence from overturning the election was Dan Quayle cause we live in the dumbest timeline.

Even though Pence stood up to Trump in the end, Peril reveals that after four years of abject loyalty, he struggled with the decision. Woodward and Costa write that Pence reached out to Dan Quayle, who had been the vice president to George H.W. Bush, seeking his advice.

Over and over, Pence asked if there was anything he could do. “Mike, you have no flexibility on this. None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away,” Quayle told him. Pence pressed again. “You don’t know the position I’m in,” he said, according to the authors. “I do know the position you’re in,” Quayle responded. “I also know what the law is. You listen to the parliamentarian. That’s all you do. You have no power.”

And just like that, every bit of begrudging respect that Pence earned earlier this year is gone. An entire lifelong political career ruined, by choice, for a tv and tabloid celebrity.

In 2012, VP Biden's ticket defeated VP candidate Ryan's by about 5 million votes. In 2020, incumbent celebrity politician Trump lost to Biden by more than 7 million votes. What a loser.

Corey Lewandowski, reasonably thought to have been at least one of the old Republican TSM posters that pretended to be a message board girl, has been kicked out of 'Trump World.' Again.

It will drag things out longer and that's another gift to the Dems. Fighting the subpoenas will help ensure Jan 6 is still at the forefront next November. If the dummies would've just gone along with the bipartisan cmte, the original plan that McCarthy was part of, they'd be starting to wrap up soonish.
