he read an excerpt from marc elias at democracy docket, 1-4 that begins "1. Prohibit federal law enforcement or the Department of Justice from operating within 500 feet of any polling place, counting location or election office."

then went on to say this:

And I would add, if you do not think that is true, ask Rudy Giuliani. Elias at Democracy Docket. And all of those last four steps can be folded right now, Chuck Schumer into what you are doing. You have the hammer, and you have a full array of weapons to use against the Republicans. They have no way out without your support for continuing resolution long term or short term. Give them nothing, because the alternative is for them to take everything.

It is clear that the incapacitating illness afflicting the President of the United States has progressed to the point that he is having full on, full scale, full fiction hallucinations. I don't mean his regular hallucinations where he thinks something should have happened or is true, so he cuts out that noisome middleman reality and just announces that it has happened or is true. I mean something far, far worse. Donald Trump has now begun to literally see and hear things.

This stuff with the new Canadian Bridge seems trivial. Then it turns out the owner of the rival bridge, the Ambassador Bridge, called up Howard Lutnick, the guy who lied about how well he knew Epstein. Well, one of the guys who did that, who's in this administration, And apparently he asked Lutnick to get Trump to trash and threaten the people who own the new bridge, And of course Trump did that. The Lutnick stuff is just standard Trump corruption and who knows, probably graft. What is far more disturbing, far more important than people are recognizing, is that this involved Trump hallucinating.

Trump put out a tweet, not an exaggeration, not wishful thinking that life eyeing that a big strong man crying story, not and everybody knows announcement. This is the son of a bitch. President of the United States thinks something that didn't happen has actually happened. This is about the new Gordy Howbridge and Trump's attempt to renege on our deal with Canada over it, since they built it and it's entirely in their country and Michigan owns part of it anyway, and he Trump agreed to all this nine years ago. It's just standard Trump business practice, standard Trump crooked businessman. So sue me stuff.

But then comes the terrifying part, which at first sounds so meaningless as to make Trump sound almost zany quote. Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China which will eat Canada alive. The first thing China will do is terminate all ice hockey being played in Canada and permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup.
How would they do that, Grandpa Simpson,
