It is Joy that broke Trump's brain. He lives in Trump World, which is a dark and gloomy place. Joy is breaking out in the real world and he can't take it. His "press conference" was a good example, with more than two lies or fabrications per minute.

Will Donald go peacefully with the nice doctors when they come for him?

Who cares, as long as he and his family go away.

Sadly I don’t think the joy ticket will grab republicans voters. They are an angry lot and determined to stay that way.

It's simple Susan. They are absolutely terrified of change. Any change that makes old, White men no longer the influential, "we're in charge" weirdos they seem to be.

For years and years, they’ve simmered in their resentment of anyone — women, POC, gays — who helped shift the power paradigm from Only Entitled White Men to Yeah, Let’s Include The Others. They see Donnie as their hero, wrenching back all that lost control.

They're enraged 24x7 at whoever Fox tells them to be mad at. It doesn't have to make a lick of sense. They're just marinating in the endorphin high of hating someone else. Every day.

It’s an illness, Susan.

When you are a liar, a cheater, and a person who invents reality, you project that everyone you meet is the same. That’s a pretty good reason to feel threatened.

But they don’t have enough people to come close to winning. Just need to get a majority of the independents. Amazing how infectious joy actually can be .

They will make sure that counties do not certify the votes.

Trump took them that way. Recall their former saint, Reagan, gave them optimism -- all that shining city on a hill talk. Trump just decided that he could win by appealing to their fears and resentments. But now that they're all mad, it's too late to talk about joy.

I think the racism of white Christian nationalism has a lot to do with it: https://theintercept.com/2024/08/10/republicans-trump-vance-racism-white-nationalism/

Yep. I’m sensing he’s trying to emulate that joy but doesn’t have a clue how it’s done. More words? More caps? More arm waving? I’ll be glad to watch the rats abandoning ship.

Army joke: the drill sergeant in boot camp says to one of the recruits, "I bet you hate my guts so much, when I die you'll come and piss on my grave!"

"No, Sergeant! When I get out of here I'm never going to stand in a line again!"
