wingnuts are in full panic mode over Thursday’s debate

hubris, laziness and dementia is a toxic cocktail of disaster

Republicans are running around in a total meltdown right now, because they know there’s a very good chance that on Thursday night, Little Donny Fuckface is going to shit the bed on live TV.

it’s a legit concern, for two reasons.

first, it’s obvious to everyone but the hardest-core cultists that Donny’s brain has left the building. sticking him in front of a microphone these days is just courting disaster.

ask Donny a question, and you’re rolling a very demented pair of dice.

ask him about aid to Ukraine. you might get something that approaches an actual answer — but you’re just as likely to get a two-minute soliloquy on what if a migrant fought a shark in battery-infested waters, who would win, because some of those migrants are very tough.

ask him to explain his plan to replace taxes with tariffs, but don’t be surprised if Donny’s answer is a mystifying word salad about Hannibal Lecter invited a friend over for dinner, but the water in the shower was just drip drip drip.

here’s the second concern: Donny’s too lazy to prepare, and is just going to wing it.

Joe Biden’s spent the last week at Camp David, doing rigorous debate prep. aside from his daily briefing, there’s nothing else on his calendar.

here’s Donny’s debate prep.

that’s right — Commander Dumbfuck has spent the last week schmoozing it up at his golf motels, and holding hate-rallies. he’s convinced he can bluff and bullshit his way through the debate, because that’s how he’s always gone through life.

oh, to be blessed with the supreme confidence of the mediocre white male. it must be nice.

Republicans can smell this looming shitstorm from a million miles away, and so they’re already trotting out their number one excuse.

rigged!

it’s the wingnutsphere’s favorite fallback, and number one excuse. every time something doesn’t go their way, that’s because it’s rigged. lose an election? rigged! lose a trial? rigged! your crappy game show didn’t get an Emmy? rigged!

so now the debate is rigged!

for two or three weeks now, Republicans have been saying that for the debate, Joe Biden’s going to be hopped up on drugs.

Ronny Jackson, Donny Trump’s own personal Dr. Feelgood, has been making the rounds with a very specific accusation.

“those drugs are out there, they treat the cognition, they try to make it where he can think straighter, and he’s not lost and confused as much, and then there’s drugs that actually just increase alertness, like Adderall and other types of amphetamine-type drugs, maybe Provigil.”

if Adderall and Provigil sound familiar to you, that’s because those are two of the drugs that Ronny Jackson used to hand out like they were candy, back when he was Donald Trump’s day-drunk White House physician.

once again, every Republicans accusation is actually a confession.

over the past couple of days, the GOP has started up a whole new complaint: the debate is rigged — because it’s on CNN!

CNN hates Trump, they’re all screaming. they’re going to ask him trick questions.

really? trick questions? like what, explain how tariffs work?

yesterday morning, Trump toadie Karoline Leavitt went on CNN and would not stop attacking the debate moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. host Kasie Hunt kept trying to steer the conversation to Trump’s policies, but finally had to shitcan the whole thing, and dumped Leavitt off the air.

“we’re going to stop this interview.”

this caused the entire wingnut outrage-industrial complex to melt all the way down. one-man leper colony Steve Bannon immediately invited Leavitt onto his show.

“I’ve never seen such disrespect, never in the history of television, ever, taken a national press secretary and treated her with such lack of respect. Kasie Hunt owes you an apology. CNN owes you an apology today. and if we don’t get that apology to Karoline Leavitt and to the Trump campaign and to MAGA today, president Trump should cancel this.”

oh sit the fuck down, you histrionic blowhard. “never in the history of television.” my god, these people are sure in love with the sound of the own voices.

the wingnutsphere would absolutely fucking love it if Trump canceled the debate. problem solved!

but listen up, you caterwauling cum-socks: when Donny shits his diaper on live television, it’s not going to be CNN’s fault, and it’s not going to be Joe Biden’s fault.

it’s going to Little Donny Fuckface’s fault, and no one else.

it was Donny who bragged that he was willing to debate Joe Biden “ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE!”

it was Donny who agreed to debate on CNN, and it was Donny who agreed to the two minute answer and then your mic gets muted format.

when Donny proves incapable of abiding by the rules he agreed to, don’t go crying to Jake Tapper — it’s not going to be any of his doing. when Donny makes a fool of himself in front of the whole world, don’t whine about it to Dana Bash — it’s going to be Dear Leader who did this to himself.

nobody is forcing Donny to do this, and it’s his own hubris and incapacity to ever cop to having made a mistake that’s going to prevent him from coming to his senses and canceling.

see you Thursday night.

will be wild.
