My sincere hope is that the Republican Party is totally decimated and never recovers. I have watched from the time after Eisenhower as it was steadily transformed into the most destructive enemy of the very Constitution upon which the nation was founded. They have aligned themselves with White Supremist racists, radical religious fanatics who are intent on creating a theocracy and Second Amendment radicals who have twisted its intent to the point of utter insanity. Their greatest accomplishment was the election of an outright conman, sexual abuser of women, congenital liar and demagogue spewing fascist propaganda to guide the nation. If there isn't a radical realignment I see no extended future for our nation as created by its founders. If not corrected it is doomed to become dictatorship ruled in conjunction with a cabal of the wealthy oligarchs.

“Dot dot dot” (Colbert pans to next tweet) “Dot dot dot, dot-dot, etc.”
And anything in the tweets that’s enclosed between parentheses must be read at half-volume and double-speed.

While lacking in sonic verisimilitude (dig the big words), Colbert’s is the most “inner-Trumpian” of Trump impressions.

I'm not on Twitter, and I decline to drive any traffic to the Emperor Trump's account, but my impression is that Trump just tweets, he never gets into it on a thread.

Which is fine, of course. Avenatti can point to Trump's failure to reply to him as evidence that he shut the bullying jerk down.
