"it was the states that screwed everything up, and I cleaned it up".

I think he's basically said this "Big Lie" many times before.

Well, there's always the possibility that he won't make it to the podium at all. Maybe he'll try to run up a ramp or something, in order to try to prove that he's not a death's door. I don't think that would end well for him.

He will blather about stopping testing and about how well we are doing in defeating the virus.

All will be lies. I hope someone keeps track. Don't play any drinking games with the lies or you might die of alcohol poisoning.

tRump will convince his tRumpanzees that those oppose him must be traitors and deserve the worst.

I'm betting tRump will instigate violent reaction against the protesters.

22. Cool bit of trivia: Andy Griffith played Lonsome Rhodes' beater guitar on The Andy Griffith Show
Sat Jun 20, 2020, 03:00 PM
Jun 2020

When Andy was making the film 'A Face in the Crowd,' the movie people needed two guitars. One was a cheap-looking one used by his character before he became famous, and a fancier one when he became the successful 'Lonesome Roads,'" Boak says. "The prop master solved the problem by taking a beautiful 1958 Martin D-18, and without consulting anyone, painted it black and gluing sequins on the guitars sound board. On the front of the guitar, the sequins spelled out Momma and Lonesome. Momma was a reference to the name Lonesome Rhodes gave to his guitar.

After the film was completed Griffith was walking by the prop shop, he noticed the painted Martin in its case and "borrowed" it. After taking it home, he proceeded to remove the sequins and sand off the black paint down to the bare wood . This took him nine days to accomplish. In the process he sanded off the logo decal and pickguard. Andy seemed to like the look of the guitar without the pickguard and never replaced it.

He took the guitar to a guitar builder (John D'Angelico!) in New York City's lower east side to have the instrument given a new coat of lacquer and touch up to the wood.

I used to love watching the Andy Griffith show and Matlock. And loved that he was a Progressive.

Thanks for sharing.

"This whole country, just like my flock of sheep. They’re mine, I own them, they think like I do. Only they’re more stupid than I am, so I got to think for them." - Lonesome Rhodes or the orange anus, you decide.

tell everyone how great he is at everything.

I expect he will be high psychologically and pharmaceutically

I think the amoral pig lives for this. This feeds his narcissism and he will pop pills to be ready.

Against his cult members. Like a face in the crowd moment.

But I fear he will tell his cult members to take up arms against the protesters and minorities. He is that crazy and unhinged now.

What I know is, President Walking Disaster Area has gone several months without one of his Nuremberg Rallies, and it’s built up inside him.

The egregiousness comes tomorrow when all his minions hit the talk shows to tell the public, “no, the president didn’t actually mean for “loyal Americans” to shoot Democrats on sight, even though he said it 27 times.”
