Michael Cohen says tRump is headed for a full mental breakdown

Like you could tell.

====

In an interview with Politico senior staff writer Michael Kruse, former Donald Trump attorney and "fixer" Michael Cohen claimed the president has never found himself buffeted like the problems he is facing now and questioned whether he will hold up mentally as he leaves office.

Mom had no objection to cursing as a 'sin'. Her view was that it displays a certain poverty of mind.

My counter based on the First Amendment never made any impact.

George Carlin is my model in general discourse.

George Carlin is a genius as far as I’m concerned. Personally I enjoy cursing and I defend its rightful place in literature and the English language in general. But not at the cost of losing sight of the wealth of other words and their rightful importance.

For my son I had the rule that he was not allowed to swear around adults. This included his teachers. Punishment in the form of being grounded was involved if this rule was broken. It gave him the freedom to use whatever language he wanted to with his peers.

The reason I did this was so he was forced to use correct language. So he would have a decent vocabulary. Unchecked fowl language can be used in the place of almost any other way of speaking. It stunts the growth of any decent and working vocabulary.

Kudos to your mom.

I never ever heard her swearing. Ever. Our lives at times certainly warranted some.

If I had, her admonitions wouldn't have had such an impact on me.

She would, however, call actual 'shit', 'shit'.

I'm not sure how we ended up talking about this in a Michael Cohen thread, though.

After he leaves office a nice, clear, undeniable, total mental breakdown might help turn his supporters away from him and draw them back into the real world with the rest of us.

And, it wasn't quite senility, as he started the act fairly young. It was more like he was faking autism & schizophrenia at the same time.
Ultimately, it didn't work. He went to jail for a long time and died in federal prison.
Hoping that's a foreshadowing.

Where its very very obvious. I want to watch as his MAGAts follow him all through his mental decline. I want them to applaud him, go to his rallies for 2024, hang on his every word as God's own truth. And watch as he starts getting crazier and crazier. I want to see the Trumptards heads hurt when one by one they drop off, disillusioned by the slow realization that their Dear Leader maybe not being the smartest man in the country.

I want to see the looks in their deplorable faces when King Trump is raving about the most lunatic fringe conspiracy theories from QAnon. Bashing Fox News as the deep state. Calling Mitch McConnell a Communist deep state operative, and the Republican party in on it too. Drawing right wing voters away from the R party to the point we secure the Senate and House in 2022.

Then getting even too bizarre for NewsMax to handle taking him seriously. Until he starts in on them too. Until he is sitting in his little corner crying and sucking his thumb.

I want a good percent of the red hats to have to finally face the fact that Trump is not sane, and probably never was. I don 't care if this sounds harsh. MAGAts can go fuck themselves.

The freakin Trumpers were out again on Trump corner in Palm Beach Gardens yesterday as if he won the election. Waving their flags at passing cars. This cult must be destroyed in every possible way for America to recover. And that can only happen if Trump is demolished legally and financially and mentally once he leaves office.
