by the way, while researching Elvis at the end of his career, I found some batshit crazy behavior.

https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/629604/elvis-presley-bizarre-concert-appearances

"Presley had been feuding with Kathy Westmoreland, a soprano back-up singer who once dated Presley but had since moved on to another member of the band. That night, a jilted Presley introduced her and then offered his personal thoughts. “She will take affection from anybody, any place, any time,” he told the audience. “In fact, she gets it from the whole band.” Presley repeated the insult the following night in Uniondale, New York. The third night, in Norfolk, Virginia, he continued his verbal assault, this time making more graphic sexual remarks in a lowered voice. Westmoreland walked off the stage but eventually stayed on the tour."

decades ago, Howard Stern used to play an audio clip on his radio show of Elvis high as a kite on stage, fucking up the lyrics and then dissolving into laughter. I wanted to use it for this piece but couldn't find it

We now have the advantage of seeing his autopsy results. He had been injecting Codeine for so long some places in his intestines had clumps of something like chalk, hard as a rock, bloated and yes he was in treatment but couldn’t admit it. He also took speed of all types in incredible quantities. I had read Thom’s article too and boy did he nail it. The King degradation for both Trump and Elvis, sad.

Elvis died while trying to take a dump. Trump and his golden toilet have a date with destiny.

Very sad. Never have been able to figure out if he alone ruined himself or if others had a heavy hand in it all. Both I guess. I liked “Elvis!” because the actor was so darn good. But when he “goes south”. It’s really hard to watch that fat old drugged has-been.

Another sad example of the perils of fame, money, "success," having nearly everything money can buy, and the attendant pressure, isolation, loneliness, dangerous sycophants, and a personal physician to over-medicate them. Michael Jackson found out too

I firmly believe that spoken clear as a bell...'I want to congratulate Vladimir Putin' comment was a CALL to his handler that he'd like more help in the election.

Agree to all of the above "When will we learn everything that really happened." I was just discussing this and I said we never knew about Nixon's treachery with Vietnam scuttling the Paris Peace Treaty to end the war. MF. Thousands died because of Nixon back channeling as a candidate AGAINST the interests of the USA. We never learned until the Nixon Library released the evidence 25 years later. So, we are just going to sit back and let Old Elvis Trump meet with Orban, slur his instructions (pleas) at rallies to Putin if you're listening. Yeah, the same old reruns, but the MF is still evil and ruthless. I want the MSM to go deep on Egypt 10M donation. Go deep NOW on who Trump sold the stolen classified docs to. Go deep on Clarence Thomas colluding with Aileen Cannon to throw the slam dunk classified docs trial. Go deep on Alito, Thomas engineering the Presidents are immune BS. Did they tell Trump's lawyers to file that one? There is no bottom, people!

So he along with his other 5 brethren are all responsible for this loaded pile of crap that they pushed onto the American people. We aren’t above the law, but rumpf is and it pisses me off!

Big difference between Elvis and trump. Elvis was only an 8th degree black belt. trump is a 10th degree black belt. Big, strong men with tears in their eyes wanted to give him an 11th degree black belt, because he was the greatest and most beautiful 10th degree black belt ever.

Stalin. Do you know the story of his demise? He wasn’t exactly forgotten bc no one cared, but he had locked himself in his private quarters in a large house. He had given orders to not be disturbed for any reason. I don’t remember the details. Google it. But he had a stroke behind those doors. People tried to rouse him. No answer. And they left him alone But some worker on the premises finally got in. He had been suffering. Yes. This is how I want The Felon to go. I want him to feel loss. Scared. Small. Alone. The humiliations of lying there left only to count the miseries you’ve caused.

There is nothing new in his stump speeches because he is at the stage where he retains very little new information. Whether it is Fronto-Temporal Dementia or Tertiary Syphilis - who knows, maybe he caught a brain worm from RFK JR. - the signs are obvious to all who will listen to him speak. He has a dementing illness and he is compromised. He is running to stay out of jail and his handlers/enablers are propping him so they can get the reins of power.

I will make this observation. When the Orange Jesus cites "Indian or Black" and one pauses, the stain of racism still lingers within. When one considers gender as a factor, the stain of sexism still lingers. They are dog whistles. I grew up with this stuff. I know the code, and I fight the demon every day. We are in a time of many gifted women in politics and military combat roles. We are in era where the content of one's soul is the determinant. It is more than preventing Neo Fascism engulfing us; it is matter of our souls. As Jeff so correctly evinces, Elvis is dead. Side note: Praising Putin? Dear God, has shame and patriotism so fully left this flawed person?
