1. Holy crap

I can't stand listening to him, but this was precious. I'd love to see someone do thought balloons over the Fox buffoons. Surely this is theater for them. They look like they really can't stand him.

[NurseJackie]

2. Was that for REAL? Or was is a compilation of some sort?

[grantcart]

19. He went on and on for 50 min today, this wasn't a compilation it was a brief excerpt

[Hortensis]

23. According to Axios, 53! Their audience got the whole thing.

[NurseJackie]

27. Oh good lord!

[Alithea]

30. WTF??? Are you serious?? That's nuts even for him. He's out-nutting himself.

[grantcart]

32. Huffington has an article on it he's becoming increasingly incoherent

[50 Shades Of Blue]

3. ROFL!!!!

[flor-de-jasmim]

4. 25th Amendment territory.

[colorado_ufo]

20. He's looking for some escape route; what is it in the military, a Section 8?

Or he has been "sniffing" really hard lately!

[gratuitous]

5. As soon as the show was over, I'm thinking there was a staff meeting

"Okay, we have to have a system of hand signals for this; I can't just hang up on the president! Can you make it sound like we lost the connection, then cut the call?"

[stopdiggin]

8. zactly!

when I tug my earlobe .. static, and kill the feed

[Wounded Bear]

9. Call it the "Carol Burnett Emergency Out" move...

[CaptYossarian]

14. Another perfect call! I like the ear tugging idea, because

if they went with a safe word, no one would've heard it.

It reminds me of my dad's later calls. It turned out he had Dementia. Stage 4 Dementia is also known as Covfefe.

[gratuitous]

18. After hearing this phone call to Fox

Anyone still want to seriously advance the notion that Trump's July 25 phone call to Zelensky was "perfect"?

[CaptYossarian]

28. Remember, a narcissist like Trump thinks everything he does is perfect.

Yet he still won't show his taxes.

[Johnyawl]

15. I'd like to think they already have that in place...

...and the crew just left those three hanging and were rolling on the floor laughing.

[Alithea]

31. I like the way you think!

[spanone]

6. goddamn, what a madman.

[Delphinus]

40. Amen!

[RT Atlanta]

7. bump

[Baitball Blogger]

10. How embarrassing!

[Karadeniz]

36. That was my reaction. Embarrassing to listen in on mental illness...to have that as president.

[LakeArenal]

11. We think the 11th commandment is...

Thou shall listen to their stories over and over and act like it’s the first time.

And we do. Because someday there will come a time when you’ll never be able to hear them ever again.

[Adsos Letter]

12. Beautifully phrased.

Thank you for posting that. It is a good reminder about what is important in life.

[lunatica]

13. Maybe some of the MAGAT viewers got bored

and a tiny bit exasperated.

Serves them right.

[erronis]

16. And it thinks that its voice isn't loud over a cellphone. Jeezuz - SPOUT AWAY peeResident.

[Farmer-Rick]

17. The woman looks like she's falling asleep until the end.

What a ding bat Trump really sounds crazy.

[Botany]

21. Good God in Butter

He is nuts

[Jim__]

22. Can you imagine any other president calling into a news show and all they're trying to do is ...

... get him off the air? What kind of people can still support this guy as president?

[Marie Marie]

24. Holy Sheet...

[cwydro]

25. Whoa!

Now that was hilarious! Though incredibly sad.

Wonder when this nightmare ends?

[Shaddox]

26. It was an hour of jibbering crazy- they knew it, they were incredulous, and they couldn't steer him.

It was actually quite something - the first time I have even seen an inkling of push back from these idiots.

[tblue37]

43. I liked that during Trump's rant Doocey started nervously tapping his fingers in his knee. nt

[sop]

29. After he's finally carted out of the WH, Trump will be doing this every day.

During the first few months, when these batshit crazy rants are still getting good ratings, every cable and radio host will take his calls, listen to his loony lies and conspiracy theories, and probably encourage him to call back. Scarborough will have him on every morning for an hour. Christ, he'll probably even call the Maddow show.

After a time, when the novelty wears off and sponsors complain, the only ones who'll take his daily calls will be Limbaugh, Hannity and Alex Jones. After those guys bail, it's twitter 24/7. It looks like we're stuck with this loathsome, lumbering oaf till he's dead. God, when will this long nightmare be over?

[Alithea]

33. +1

[Initech]

34. This has never been more relevant than it is right now:

[Brother Buzz]

35. Gish galloping....

and he never even mounted the horse in paddock. Hell, did he phone that mess in from his bathroom?

[malaise]

37. Holy shit that was hilarious

They could not shut him up

[NCLefty]

38. He'd done this before.

[Alithea]

39. This kind of behavior will make him lose support

from his base even though shooting someone on 5th Avenue would not.

They don’t care how outrageous, criminal or cruel he is. That’s a feature, not a bug.

What they want more than anything is a leader who is:
1) strong, a winner; and
2) on their side.


Out of control behavior like that makes him look like a weak-minded dementia patient. Much better there than on other TV channels. That nicely takes care of element 1. Just kick back, make some popcorn, and let him keep digging his own ditch.

Now, onto element 2, anyone got some candid camera video of him maligning his base?

[chriscan64]

41. "And now a word from our sponsor"

"Wait, I wasn't finished, don't be rude okay. Anyway .... "

Seriously, I wonder if they broke for commercials or just took a loss.

42. Proposed new law: Upon passage of a bill in either chamber of Congress...

... requesting the President, Vice President, or any other member of the administration undergo a full, thorough, & complete psychiatric evaluation, said member must undergo said evaluation within 30 days of passage of the bill.

We need to work out details of who would conduct the evaluation. I suggest professional non-partisan mental health organizations.
