In another example of an imploding Democrat Party, their putative leader, Gavin Newsom, went on a talk show and said he feared there wouldn’t be a Presidential election in 2028. It is unsettling when the leader of a major party is delusional. Heck, we have two such examples right now!

In other news, Meghan Trainor has admitted sing Mounjaro to lose those last few pounds to get her to smoking hot.

In other sort of Trump related News, I started investigating going to the MMA event at the White House next June. I’d likely get a free hotel using Marriott points, and it’s around 6 1/2 drive so not crazy. And DC is a great walking tourist city. I’ve been there 8-10 times and really enjoy it. But the one guy I know who loves MMA, and goes to a bunch of events, says he will be priced out. Nothing out yet, but he thinks the ‘get in price’ will be at least $1000! For ‘bad’ seats! I don’t think I can psychologically withstand paying $1000 for this! My brain had factored in $300 or so.

I have a crazy Trumper neighbor (she’s very friendly with my dog so I like her) who has her front yard filled with political ‘vote for’ placards. Why do we have elections for ‘highway superintendent’?
They all promise to ‘cut wasteful spending’ while keeping our highways ‘safe’.

I mean people said that during Trump's first term, and they were partially right, he tried to override the election. Now, he is talking about running for a third term. So, the chance of him not doing something illegal (or at least talking about it,) is slim.

The difference is Trump talks loony to almost everyone at some point or other, Newsome referring to Trump, not everyone.

There's a few people in Trump's orbit or previous orbit who deserve all the lunatic charges. Currently Laura Loomer. JFK, previously My Pillow Guy, ex-Mayor Guiliani. Briefly Kayne West. Probably someone else I'm forgetting about.

Other people I just consider either corrupt or extreme partisans right-wingers. Then there's the rest, just trying to CYA every day. Milke-toast Mike, Duplicitous Lindsay.

Liddy or Charles Colson come close enough in the Nixon Administration. Which is funny enough, the most in-trouble President besides Trump. I think Clinton mostly demonstrated weakness of moral character as far as lechery. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP.

I have the same fear
Trump is against the peaceful transfer of power to the Dems even if that's what the voters want

I mean, Lindsey Graham has now come out in favor of a 3rd term for Donny. Why are you cherry picking the supposed delusions, Doc? There's talk in some quarters of Congress to alter the 22nd Amendment and make Donny eligible to run again, but not Barack. Wy are you cherry picking, Doc?

Donny staged an insurrection to illegally stay in power. Is an attempt to stay in power past Jan 20, 2029 out of the question, considered his recent history?
