Driving Miss Crazy
Yesterday’s joy ride around Walter Reed yesterday was SO bad and SO stupid, that even Don Jr. said how his father is acting is crazy. He said the incessant tweeting and crazy talk is really concerning, but Ivanka and Jarad think everything is dandy, and Jr. apparently doesn’t have the stones to act on his own. The House of Trump is crumbling, and soon there will be stories of Trump running around the WH in a night shirt screaming about the large spiders chasing him. But Tucker Carlson says we’re being mean to his Dear Leader.
I’m hoping for the spiders … big fuzzy ones with fangs … and, I’ll be hoping they win!
1Boy, I sure hope I don’t wake up in the next few mornings to find out Trumpf had to be flown back to WR hospital in the dark of night when the proud boys are getting their beauty sleep on their AK’s. That would just be awful.
2No it wouldn’t
Giant House Spiders tend to get one’s attention. They can have legs up to 3″ long and move really fast. Harmless, but we don’t have to mention that…just have someone salt the Oval Office with them.
3Everything is normal at Walter Reed.
With my insurance I have a 20% co-pay for hospital visits. I can’t imagine what it would cost if I wanted my team of seven doctors to OK a temporary leave of absence from my treatment, rent a limo with driver (is that covered?), and drive around for awhile.
But it’s gotta be pricey.
4Finally a story about the Trumps many Americans can relate to.
What should we do about Dad? Is it time to take the keys away? Who’s going to tell him? Let’s let him keep the key case so he can jiggle it like he always did. We’ll have to put new locks on the doors and maybe an alarm pad by his bed.
Yup, we’re just like the Trumps.

This is a link to a couple of short clips of Trump when he arrived back at the White House from the hospital tonight. He is definitely not a well man. He is struggling to breath and looks scared but trying not to show it.
6lazrgrl, I hope somebody took the nuclear launch codes away a long time ago.
7The last week has gone from crazy to efing ridiculous. The new Trumpf campaign line is he’s the stronger candidate now because he’s gotten coronavirus and fought it off like a superhero, while Biden hasn’t experienced it and is weak.
8We know he’s sick because he’s so stupid (along with his orbit), but the cult has bought into it hook line and sinker.
This includes 99% of repugnanticans in Congress led by batshit crazy Matt Gaetz.
Lazrgrl: I teach Driver Safety for AARP [20 years] When we were discussing the chapter about giving up driving once, a participant told this story.
93 kids decided it was time for dad to stop, so they all flew into the town where he lived, went in and took the keys and started to the door. They were stopped in their tracks when Dad said “Thank YOU!”
He then explained he knew he should but just needed someone to take the keys.
Rhea @ 7:
I think someone did.
Aamof, I came to this conclusion just tonight.
Recently, I find I can’t stomach watching the news for more than 10 – 15 minutes at a time, so I’ve taken to sorting my Randy Rainbow videos and trying to sort them into chronological order.
Well, tonight I came across, “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Korea?” and had a revelation.
We walked right up to the brink of nuclear war when Trump and Kim were at each other throats — but someone blinked. You can bet it wasn’t either Trump or Kim.
I think one or more of the Joint Chiefs stole the football and put a dummy in its place. Then, when the last adult in the room got fired, he didn’t tell the people who stayed behind where the real one is hidden.
I even began to speculate that whoever the equivalent to our JC over in N. Korea did the same thing over there. A much riskier move seeing as how Kim has a penchant for offing anyone who crosses him.
But, once the deed was done, neither Trump nor Kim would admit it had happened so it’s been kept under wraps.
It’s the only logical explanation for why we’re still here.
10Everybody who thinks Tucker Carlson is still (or ever was) relevant IN REAL LIFE please raise your hand…
Anyone? Anyone?
Thought not.
11There’s a Yahoo article that states that Orange45 wanted to leave Walter Reed on Sunday but the docs wanted him to stay until Monday (at least?). So they let him out for the Sunday joy ride as a concession to stay one more night. We have a toddler-in-chief.
12Here’s the article: https://news.yahoo.com/trumps-car-ride-put-secret-155143897.html?soc_src=social-sh&=tw&tsrc=twtr&guccounter=1
13There was more heavy breathing on the WH porch last night than Trump ever induced in Stephanie Clifford
14I found this interesting from the article – especially the bit about “blank papers”.
“Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr., insisted on working even after his Alzheimer’s disease advanced in the 1990s…the family created a system so that Fred could think he was still running the Trump Organization. Every day Fred Sr. would go to the office in Brooklyn and they would give him blank papers to sort through and sign.”
15Article 25… his staff, family and “ friends” are helping him get set up to be removed.
16And who could prosecute a crazy person? I would
If ever there was a reason to believe that entire ‘family’ is a scam, it is Dimwit Jr. being the ‘voice of reason’ in their latest rendition of the kids as good cop/bad cop. Their whole premise for the nepotistic assault of wedging Princess Sparkletwat into the WH as a “senior adviser” is that she allegedly was the spawn most capable of playing horse’s butt whisperer to the Toddler-in-Thief. The juxtaposition of the Princess and Dimwit this week was a jarring departure.
Until now Dimwit Jr. has played the stunt double crash test dummie for Donnie. Maybe with Kay-lie Mac-a-whatever having become a ranking member of the super spreader section of the staff, it was just one dumb blonde (Princess) pinch hitting for the other dumb blonde (Kay-lie)?
Nah. It is what it is. As Jon Stewart once declared, “chaos on Bullshit Mountain.” Meanwhile we get the bill for the Walter Reed treatment(s) and however many Secret Service agents are now on two week quarantine “vacation” due to the placating of the Toddler-in-Thief.
Which is best recommended? Avoiding the news by doing a run through of the Godfather movie and sequels or queuing up to watch select episodes of the Sopranos? Obviously old stuff which is why we haven’t bothered to see either, but now might be the time.
17The Onion has pointed out that Don jr. is likely to come down with the coronavirus, given how often Don Sr. spits on him.
OK, we can all go crazy with this stuff, but here’s something to take your mind off of the Trumpoids. Right now (6-9 October) Mars is both at its brightest and is closest to Earth. It rises around sunset, so you can go out somewhere with a view to east to see it. Even without binoculars it shows a visible disk and of course is bright red. Even if you are in a light-flooded city, it’s still easily visible and easy to find.
This won’t happen again (closest approach at opposition) until 2035. At which time I’ll be dead, or tied down in a bed in a nursing home.
And if you want to collect more planets, Jupiter and Saturn are bright in the south, Jupiter to the west of Saturn. With binoculars and steady hand, you can see the Galilean moons of Jupiter in a line.
You can best see all of this right after sunset, so us old folks don’t have to wait up past our bedtimes and get all cranky and crotchedy the next day. [Yes, I am a geeky sort. What makes you ask?]
18Don’t worry — it’s all prep for his “diminished capacity” plea in his post-Presidency era. A number of us have predicted that if the oven got too hot he’d retreat under a medical excuse, but now that’s looking more like a reality.
