THEDAILYBEAST.COMIdle admits that, during a break from his busy schedule, he recently became addicted to MSNBC.
The problem is, the way they cover everything, you constantly think, Theyve got him! he says of the coverage of Trumps travails. Like theyre coming for him with the handcuffs. The golden handcuffs, of course.
Its been quite clear to me from the very beginning that he is not mentally balanced, Cleese says of Trump. He is an extraordinary caricature of an asshole; a person who has no interest in anyone else except himself. Every time he makes a decision, no matter how impulsive it is, its the one that makes him feel best about himself for the next 20 minutes. But I think he is now for the first time, because he is really becoming a disaster in foreign affairs, I think some Republicans are beginning to notice it. But the people who support him are basically so ignorant, because they only ever get news from Fox News, I dont know what you say to people like that. To me, its like people who go and watch professional wrestling and dont realize that its fixed. If they cant see it when its right under their nose, I have no idea how theyre going to realize how wrong they are.

because THAT is the absolute truth about republicans.
They are the barkers drawing the crowds. The concessionaires selling shit-on-a-stick, to the all-to-willing sheople. The hawkers pedling worthless trinkets that won't survive the trip home to the trash bin. The snake-oil-salesmen promising everything for a pittance, delivering nothing of tangible value. And finally the carnies and the clowns. They ensure distraction with a smooth ride and provide us with a laugh or two, all before the circus leaves our towns for another just down the road, tail lights yet to fade into the distance.
Following closely on the heals of the evangelicals. Made-up of religious zealot republican, polygamist mormons and 99% white, neither of which are willing to follow the laws of society as a whole, as the constitution guarantees. Who rolled up the tents of their side show after fleecing the same people that are next to fund the needs of grifters with mansions and airplanes.
