The final stage of tetanus when nerves fire continuously & the body contorts into an agonizing posture known as opisthotonus. The mastication muscles clamp down to form the hallmark lockjaw.

Trump—whose policies are inflicting enormous pain and suffering on everyday Americans—is being encouraged to run for a third term by a billionaire donor offering $250M.

Tells you everything you need to know about the allegiances of the Republican party.
Adelson: I met Alan Dershowitz.. he said.. four more years. We can do it. Think about it.

Crowd: *chants four more years*

Trump: She said think about it, I’ll give you another 250 million

Remember this if nothing else: Every shouted lie in Trump’s outburst tonight was an effort to cover up a Trump failure or crime. Every single one.

Sometimes when I listen to Trump speak I think he is well on his way to dementia.

Other times I think he’s on something.

Then I think it’s just because his vocabulary is very limited and he struggling to read someone else’s words.

But most of the time I think it’s all 3.

If the 25th amendment were triggered by any objective metric of presidential insanity or unfitness, Trump would have been launched out of the White House ten seconds into tonight’s speech. Or 11 months ago. Or daily since.

Trump is so clearly insane. It’s a national emergency.
Lying. It’s all lies.

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:

Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%.

He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.

A reminder: Venezuela is in tremendous debt to China and they don't have the cash to pay that debt. As a form of payment, they're paying with oil. We are now blockading "China's oil". China is going to have a word, I guarantee it!

Wow, shades of the 2019 Border Patrol Facebook scandal of Trump’s first term, when dozens of agents were part of a group posting mocking memes about migrants kids who died crossing the border.

This particular officer went viral in the Chicago raids for pulling his gun on people.

MAGA is very upset about some Somalis who did 8 billion of fraud in Minnesota the same week they praise Trump for pardoning a venture capitalist who defrauded thousands of Americans for over 1 billion.

You cant reason with a shameless violent cult hellbent on white supremacist power.

Although it is important to knock down the administration’s absurd legal justification for the boats strikes, need to recognize that these theories are just legal backfilling.

The bottom line is that POTUS and others wanted to kill people for entertainment and his lawyers concocted a justification.
