    Just out of interest: how long do they honestly expect this idiot to live?

      He can do 20 more years. Weekend at Bernies is also possible. No crazy scheme is off the table in today’s America. Trump may also just be laying out the red carpet for some even crazier lunatic. Maybe hereditary dictatorship? Elon? Nothing is off the table at this point. Fuck me and the bleak possible future.

        Not taking sides, but be honest, I’m pretty sure that was Biden.

          Dianne Feinstein is the more egregious example.

          What happens is is that these congressman build a circle of aids who handle all the real work while they campaign. Those aids develop working relationships with other aids. The more senior, the more influence they have. It quickly gets to the point when the politician themselves are just a figurehead and the aids don’t want to start over with a new one, so they just wheel their host around.

          Trump is well into the category where he’s just being lead around by his handlers.

            I don’t think he’s there yet, he still seems to know what’s going on around him, and where he is at.

              I don’t believe he is. I know people like that. They fake understanding what’s going on, but can’t maintain a thought for very long. During Trump’s first term, his aids figured out that they would need to be the last person to talk to him because he quickly forgot the previous discussion.

      Do they need him to be alive? They can use him as long as he’s not rotting too obviously. I have a strong suspicion he already stinks.

      Once they force three terms onto Trump they can use whatever flimsy justification they have found to allow three terms for Vance or whoever they get to replace trump.
