16. Many feel they have to or they'll get "unelected"

They fear the mindbogglingly ignorant masses that are GQP voters. Granted, there's not a backbone or a shred of decency and morality among them, but the real danger is Donnie AND that idiot down the street with the Trump flag. The rubes need to find new hobbies. I hoped that would happen after the orange dickhead dies, but we may not be able to wait that long.

5. That he thinks he can get away with this is laughable

Things are so great that it’s a miracle and gawd is delighted.
This madness cannot be sustained. He has done more for NATO than anyone in history.
That’s why I’m laughing. He’s a wrecking ball.

4. I only listened to about 5 minutes of it and my brain definitely lost cells while doing so.

To hear him tell it, we've got gold falling from the sky and honey running down the streets. And it's always sunny, everywhere, every day.

6. 1.5 hours of rambling self-fellatio. (Looks like MS-NOW finally had enough and cut the feed.)

Gallego was right - he's absolutely bonkers insane and needs to be put into a care facility as soon as possible.

10. The feed I watched was live until he talked about Columbus Day and the happy Italians, but cut off before the Q&A.

How badly did that go? Did anyone have the balls to actually ask him a relevant question?

8. Yeah, he rambled on through all of his 'greatest hits'.

Going all the way back to when he played little league baseball next to Creedmore Psychiatric Hospital in Queens, and lying about pretty much everything.

A total shitshow. I tuned in late and watched at 1.75 speed to get it over quickly.

worse as his mental illness progresses.

There's going to come a time (probably sooner rather than later) when he will become so insane that he will be a clear and obvious existential threat to Americans and others in the world.

At that point the only options will be impeachment and removal from office, or invoking the 25th amendment.

The problem with either solution is that the support of Republican politicians will be required.

So the questions is: when he starts driving the country and the world off the cliff in a way that is apparent to all but the die hard cultists; will enough Republicans support his removal from office, or just watch the car go off the cliff?

20 years ago I would have had no doubt the Repubs would put the brakes on this. Now I'm not so sure.

It's gonna get scary folks.
