#22 FLAG: Mental

The only party I see coddling up to criminals is the GOP, whose nominee for president is a 34-times convicted felon, for whom they will vote on bended knee.

Psssst ... you ... yeah, you, Donnie ... they're laughing ... at you.

The big surprise is learning that silly crank Ron Paul is still alive.

Trump has long cosplayed a genetics expert, opining about eugenics (or, as he calls it, "the racehorse theory"). Of which, apparently, Eric and Don, Jr., are examples.

Pratt, who put together the Carlisle boarding school, previously had charge of a group of Southern Plains folk, mostly men - Kiowas, Arapahos, Cheyennes, Comanches - taken from Oklahoma and imprisoned at Ft. Marion in St. Augustine, FL. It was essentially a lab, a dry run for the boarding schools to come, complete with the obligatory uniforms, classroom attendance, exposure to Christianity, etc.

Fire up the projector!

Didn't Trump slap a kid across the noggin with his makeup bag while cutting in line at the Dunkin Donuts in Hoboken? I don't know, but that's what some people are saying.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'

Bob Dylan, "The Times They Are A-Changin'"

"I mean, if I saw that coming, why didn't the Trump campaign see that coming?"

The campaign staff often reflects the candidate. Often, the staff is composed of people the candidate thinks aren't quite as smart as he/she estimates themselves to be. They're also eager to keep their paychecks coming, so candor in advice depends on the candidate's capacity for thinking outside of themselves.

So the answer to the question could be: Trump.

They had plenty of chances and opted for supine surrender.

The old boy clearly thinks he's running against the wrestler Kamala. But, then, the wrestler is dead and Trump suffers from dementia. So there you are.

Vetting? Fake hillbilly JayDee can't settle on a name and his senescent running mate thinks Kamala Harris is a wrestler from his past.

That "well regulated Militia" swinging into action again.

What. A. Loon.

"There is no greater apology than changing an entire political system to correct the wrongs that were done"

That would be the same system we have now.

In Texas? Possibly still a slave.

I'm a pinch, in a swing state you never know. It just might goose some of the less involved racists into voting.

If the DNC had the jewels, they'd make her the official nominee and there would be a debate.

You may need to breathe slowly, regularly into a small paper bag for this. Harris will be the nominee, so check that box. Harris is ready to debate; Trump, terrified of her, is waffling. Ready with the paper bag? In ... out ... in ... out ... good ...

The old boy's terrified of debating Harris. You can tell he's really sweating it; his makeup runs.

After some thought, I took it as an arch reference to his pretend presidency ending in January 2025. But I could certainly be wrong.

It's got to really rankle the old boy, playing second banana to Harris and Vance for two weeks.
