Psst, GOP ...

In case you haven't noticed, your Dear Leader is headed for a complete mental breakdown. It's happening in real time, and it's playing out in full public view.

He's always been a bit of a lunatic - prone to temper tantrums, unhinged behaviour, and incoherent statements. But surely even the ass-kissing sycophants among you recognize acute mental instability when it becomes so undeniably apparent.

In the past week, Trump publicly admitted that he tried to overturn the 2020 election, and only failed in that attempt because people like Pence refused to go along with his scheme.

He then called for an investigation into his own VP for having refused to do what was clearly illegal and unConstitutional in order to overthrow democracy on Trump's behalf.

His latest diatribe is that he was actually the victim of an attempted coup organized by Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats.

Perhaps it's the inevitable result of a myriad of legal nooses tightening around his throat that have triggered the inane ramblings and the open admissions of guilt - or maybe it's the realization that he actually is completely powerless. Or maybe it's just dementia finally taking over.

Regardless of the cause, the effect is obvious. The man you have lied for, covered for, kow-towed to, committed crimes for, and sacrificed your morals and principles for is teetering on the edge of a mental breakdown that all the PR spin in the world won't be able to hide.

Make no mistake - if the entire Republican party chooses to die on a bloated, foaming-at-the-mouth orange hill, I'm all for it.

But you're at that point where your mother used to sum up the situation by asking "And I suppose that if Li'l Donnie Trump jumped off a bridge, you would jump right after him?"

You might want to consider your answer very, very carefully - because once you've jumped, there's no coming back from that watery, political grave.

2. They have been waiting for this

So they can invent a complete denial of their support for the Slobfather.
Get the snacks.

3. Well, 54% of American adults can't read at an

eighty grade level. Half of that group think pro wrestling is real.

4. It's something that gives me hope ...

... the fact that the GOP is so intent on dumbing down their own constituents, eventually there won't be a Republican intellectually capable of finding their way to a voting station, no less filling out a ballot.

How long before the Republican party starts insisting that an "X" on a ballot should count, because their supporters are too illiterate to write their own names?

7. All part of a long..long..long plan to dumb down America. I worked as a private contractor in....

.... public schools in six mid-western states. For twenty-five years I watched the curriculum being manipulated by outside influences. Starting with textbook publishers dumbing down the reading level.

As a contributing author to one textbook, the publisher told me that my original submitted manuscript was written at an eleventh-grade level according to their editors. It needed to be written at a seventh-grade level.

When I argued that the topic was for an advanced upper-level course and it was impossible to explain some concepts without accurate terminology, they disagreed and returned the manuscript with revisions that made the explanations inaccurate.

The book was published in the mid nineteen eighties. Imagine how many "dumbing down revisions" have been made since then.

I have been retired for nearly a dozen years, but I still believe that most public school textbooks originate in Texas.

Because he's nuts and is in huge legal trouble. There are ads on TV here in Az from a R candidate,
(Karrin Robsen) proudly proclaiming that she is a Trumper all the way. Then the ads in the
Georgia governor's race where (not sure if it's Kemp or Perdue) boasting about his Trump endorsement.
So very many of the Trump suckers are going to have a very hard time when the orange man loses
it completely or the law dogs catch up to him.

9. Spot on,, as always. The only thing with which I disagree is the implied assumption

that they had any morals or principles TO sacrifice.

[NanceGreggs]

11. There was a time ...

... when they did. It's just that it was so long ago and far away, only the ancient people among us remember it.

[niyad]

12. I am ancient too, and it is difficult to think of many after nixon and ronnie.

10. Trump is issuing his Nero Decree, urging followers to burn democracy down. I believe they'll do it.

(Hitler issued the Nero Decree in 1945, ordering the destruction of German infrastructure when it became clear he was going down.)

[NanceGreggs]

13. I doubt it.

Trump is now in the "what if you tried to rally your supporters to march in the streets and nobody showed up" zone.

15. Well stated, except...

I always pictured the fateful leap to be one off of a cliff which would put them at the bottom of a very dry, rocky canyon from which there is no return.

But the bridge concept works, especially if it's over a raging river during runoff season.

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. They jumped off that bridge with him a long time ago.

Once you jump, it's kinda hard to change your mind mid-air.

[Norbert]

17. If TFG and his minions do jump off a bridge I hope it is near Chesapeake Bay...

or from the Golden Gate.

Sharks need to eat too.

[NanceGreggs]

18. I'm more partial to the Brooklyn Bridge ...

... given it's the one so many Trump-humpers have bought over the last five years.

19. Whatever works. lol
