The Best. Just The Damn Best.
Republican pundit Charlie Sykes lets the nail meet the hammer.
Pretty much saying that Trump is limpin’ around like a three legged jackrabbit, he notices that Trump is still chanting “Lock them up!” at his rallies. He ain’t running against Hillary.
Why would Trump still be hollering that?
“He’s playing his greatest hits,” Sykes explained. “He’s playing all the hits from 2016. The problem is that this time around he’s fat Elvis. It feels derivitive because 2016 is a different time. Nobody cares about Hillary’s emails anymore.”
He’s Fat Elvis.
I don’t know how he’s going to recover from that. I hope they tell him about 15 minutes before the debate.
Thanks to Kary for the heads up.

Send Fat Elvis Home!
Great yard sign!
1And he’s one sonuvabitch I’d love to hear of being found stone cold OD’d on his gold commode [or MI’d, stroked out, PE’d, COVID’d, whatever the fuck it takes].
2Fat Elvis was the wreckage of a once-great and beloved singer and an actual movie star. Elvis had the integrity and patriotism to serve a two-year hitch in the Army when he, already a mega-celebrity, got drafted 1958.
Trump is the wreckage of a detestable asshole who has never in his adult life had one redeeming quality. He fraudulently dodged military service.
3He’s ramping up his “lock em up” to be Joe Biden. Projection of his corruption onto Biden is really all he has left. Says the proof is on Biden’s laptop. Barrf was campaigning for Trumpf this weekend and I am expecting him any day to come out with some bullshit that can rival the 2016 Clinton email farce.
4They are running scared.
The greatest loser and bankruptcy ‘businessman’ criminal Donnie is more of a Fat Fredo. Something of a bad cross between the dumbest son of the fictional Corleone family and the weakest sperm misfired out of Fred Drumpf.
How dumb is he? Having serviced Putin and out lived his use to Moscow Mitch, Orange Foolius still thinks he has the juice. Imagine his surprise when there’s no home for him in Russia nor will Mitch & Elaine hook him up with a freighter to China.
Maybe Shelly Adelson will hook him up with a comped room, if there are any casinos ready to implode. Oh wait … ironic … that would be Atlantic City where the casinos Donnie ran into bankruptcy are due to be imploded.
5$5 says Fat Elvis Trump shoots out his TV set election night. Wait, too much effort. $5 says he calls in a Secret Service agent on the night shift November 3rd, and tells him to shoot out the TV.
6The “Lock Her Up” chants were coming from the audience in Michigan and referred to their Gov. Whitmer–you know, the one the RWNs were planning on kidnapping and putting on a kangaroo trial. They really are the Mole People who, I hope, are overwhelmingly outvoted next month.
7…and saying ‘bas**rd‘ at the rally(ies) cussing and strutting as his actual words are well used chants that have no policy, politeness or purpose. Again. How do his supporters think he is helping THEM?
I just do not get it!
8And now attacking Fauci. I realize that some people dislike Fauci but my assessment is that far more admire him. Just how much shoring up does Trump’s base need?
(That was just for the opinionators. We all know what’s going on. Trump cannot survive without constant stroking. His ego goes down like a balloon unless constantly pumped up. At some level he may understand — it seems certain he has been told — that this works against him in the long (say, 2 weeks) run but he doesn’t know how to manage anything beyond the instant. His problem is that his mommy and daddy didn’t love him, and nobody else loves him. He has to face that unless someone is whispering in his ear that everybody loves him. As long as the whispering continues he can go forward. If it ever stops his psyche collapses.)
9Fat Elvis was 2016. This is morbidly obese intermediates dead Elvis on a toilet.
10Damn spellchecker. Overmedicated, not intermediates.
11Harry Eager @19 pretty much nailed it. Nobody loves Trump. Nobody even likes Trump. He has no friends. I doubt even his wife and kids love him (and they probably don’t like him either). My guess is when (O Pleez O Pleez O Pleez) his term is up and he has to hand over the keys to the White House next January, Melania will hit the road with whatever deal she cut in her Prenup and his kids will stop talking to him. These people are loyal as long as he’s got money coming in and power to kick others around. He faces his bank lenders soon and with luck that will clean him out. The people around him will scurry into the dark like the cockroaches they all are.
12Harry Eager @9, not 19 …
13I had stopped supporting businesses that support Trumpf a long time ago. I quit reading Dilbert when I found out he (Scott Adams) donated to Trumpf. Recently I read he had turned on him, but today I watched him on Ari Melber. While he thinks Trumpfs coronavirus actions are bad, he still supports him and expects him to win. With his public voice, he should have condemned him for what he has said and done as well as what he’s doing even today. I also looked at some of the vile things he’s said about democrats this year. So I’ll never patronize his writings again, ever. Suggest you do the same
14Steve from Beaverton @14, I find it ironic–and iconic–that Scott Adams thinks Trump is worthy, considering he’s the type of boss Dilbert rails against.
And Dogbert? Steven Miller, no doubt.
15This is way off-topic, but what I held against Scott Adams from early on was his failure to acknowledge the many ideas sent to him by others. It would not take more than tiny font saying “thanks to xyz” at the bottom of a panel.
I found out about how many ideas were given to him when a Ph.D. student of mine showed me email with five that ended up being turned into strips.
Of course, at least one of the point-haired boss ones was based on me: https://dilbert.com/strip/1993-11-02
And before anyone piles on, I must point out that none of my grad students have died (yet).
16It’s not just the Fat Elvis Syndrome, though Trump’s incapability of coming up with new material could, by itself, do the trick.
It’s also the media. They actually learned something in 2016 — who woulda thunk?
Instead of breathlessly asking, “What did Hunter do in Ukraine, after all? Curious readers/viewers want to know!” they’re saying, “Giuliani is working with the same bad actors we were attacked by in 2016, folks. Don’t fall for it.” Then they move on to other news — which could well include the latest Trump attack on democracy.
And then there’s the fact that Trump’s not running against the victim of a 20 year GOP smear campaign this time.
17twocrows – I would suggest that it’s more like a 30 year smear campaign. The GOP was smearing Bill and Hillary when Bill was governor of Arkansas in the 80’s.
18Not only a GOP smear. The New York Times was all in, too.
19Fat Elivs?
Glee, just pure open glee!
