Your Daily Don (first in a series)

Presidential candidate or Marvel supervillain?

If the TV hucksters are going to pitch these affairs as though they were sporting events I think the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency should drug-test the competitors.

I’ve been in rooms with people who behaved like Felonious Punk did last night, thanks to various and sundry powders and potions, and we never once thought about running them for president. We thought about running away from them before the cops came, is what.

One dark night in the Seventies I didn’t run fast enough and wound up in the Denver sneezer with a couple of pals. At some point around stupid-thirty our jailers emptied the drunk tank, stuffing all of us minor offenders into cells, so a PCP fiend could have the run of the joint without mayhem.

Dude is bouncing off the walls with his eyes out on stalks, screeching like a banshee about this, that, and the other, when finally a screw marches in and purrs, “If you don’t settle down I’m going to have to consider you an asshole.”

As he turns to leave our duster suddenly had a moment of clarity.

“What’s an asshole to you?” he asks.

At which point one of our cellmates shouts, “You an asshole, motherfucker! Now shut the fuck up! We tryin’ to get some sleep!”

It’s a shame these two dudes weren’t moderating last night’s “debate.”

    1. She was having fun punching his buttons, for sure. I had to walk away after about an hour of it. My overriding thought was that I wouldn’t let this psycho windbag into my house, much less the White House. Not if all three toilets were fountaining raw sewage to the ceiling and he were a plumber.

  1. I just want one or the other to say some real, verifiable facts. Not so much BS. Just the truth of one sort or another. But I did like the bulldog makeup on the dumpster fire. Maybe the illegals will make him into hash, stew or some other third-world delicacy. Let us pray.

    1. I wonder if he’s had some sort of health episode, like Bell’s palsy or a small stroke. The right side of his face looked askew to me, especially around the eye. When I could bear to look at him, anyway.

      Could’ve been some aftereffect of the assassination attempt, I suppose. Or just wishful thinking on my part.

  2. Tom Nichols on Twitter/X today: “Harris went into this with good advice, good prep, and good instincts. Trump went in there, basically, thinking he was going to a rally. Her case boiled down to: “Who do you want: Me, a center-left normie, or this raving old man talking about eating dogs?”
    And he walked into it”
