Ever the performer, Boss Hogg is putting on a show of indifference.

 

The congressional elections on Tuesday, Nov. 3? Farthest thing from his mind. “I don’t care about the midterms,” he said during a cabinet meeting last week. Democrats exulted. Members of the commentariat gasped, as if watching political seppuku.

Stratospheric gas prices? “This is peanuts,” he said about two weeks ago, minimizing the pain felt by less affluent Americans as he bragged about the extravagance of the new ballroom he’s trying to build, while he’s trying to kill mail in voting.

Trump must know that the Senate is highly unlikely to pass that legislation, which the House narrowly approved. But his overwrought assertions of the need for it serve his favorite fiction: 

Democrats steal elections, so Republicans must go to great lengths to defend themselves and the country against that. 

The unflagging energy he devotes to this nonsense reflects the undeniable angst he feels about the midterms. He’s delegitimizing and challenging any results that repudiate him, in advance.

Bottom line, he orchestrated January 6th, and learned a lot from it. 

And don’t put ANYTHING past the LYING, morally bankrupt, arrogant, greedy wannabe dictator, who tests the limits of our democracy, daily…..

Not sure why,

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?
