Kind of clouding his judgement?
Like he may be headed for Betty Ford real soon?
This is a distinct possibility isn't it?
The GOP is being managed by a junkie.
That explains a lot doesn't it?

Only way to explain the jumping of the shark

The text sent around a few years ago by that MGen in the AF and the briefing my husband received at the Army War College a couple of years ago really opened our eyes about where the right-wing was heading. Now it's just more out in the open.

(111,339 posts)or probably a whole series of somethings. Remember his twitchy inability to stand still behind a podium a couple of years ago? The sudden drop in weight (which has all come back, it seems)? The megalomania that just won't quit, insisting the whole Republican side of the government come and pay tribute? These are all signs someone's got some chemical help going on somewhere.
Here's a video of the "bounce,"

(14,537 posts)His ratings have been dropping, what a better way to get listeners back than to do what he is so well versed in: smears, lies and rants.
He saw an opening and dove in without testing the water first. He believed as he always believes - no matter what he says and does nothing and noone can touch him. He literally could not stop himself once he started. Failing to take into account that women are already PO'ed about their healthcare choices being legislated away.
He has gone to far in the past and a big uproar, but no serious fallout. This is what he expected this time. As with any republican, they just can not use good judgement when it comes to predicting how people will react in certain situations. When the chatter started on his comments instead of taking that as a signal to stop, he doubled down. (I am wondering if his ratings spiked the 2nd day)
By the 3rd day he went for the trifecta under the false belief that negative feedback is better than no feedback. Just like the little kid who hits its younger sibling to get attention from the adult in charge. This is what RL was basically doing.
Did drugs play are part in that. Maybe, if not current use from past use. He damaged the few braincells he was born with
