I will pop popcorn to see him implode on DVR, after I finish watching any-other-show-on-TV.
The Democratic Alternative is a good choice to watch live. Because I root for the home team.

I have a cousin who shares many of trumps traits and habits. She would ring me and bleat, "I need someone to talk to" until I replied that no, she was looking for someone to talk AT.

He and his He-Man Woman Haters Club will call it that succes. "See? He didn't shit his pants on national television! He's the greatest Preident ever!"

(3,197 posts)...couldn't have imagined the irony of electing a (so-called) leader like Trump who gives interminable, Third-World-dictator-style speeches on the regular. We used to be a country that ridiculed such things.

Im hoping it does even more damage to him and his presidency and there are more calls to apply the 25th amendment.

Vance leans over to Johnson as they sit behind him on the dais, and says: "Brace yourself. This is gonna be a 3 DSE speech."
