If you’ve already read these stories call the exorcist because your head may be spinning.
Here’s a conspiracy theory (CT) you could almost believe is true: GOP senator noticed something weird on Fox News — is Kayleigh McEnany sending secret messages to QAnon? (Click image to enlarge)
And then there’s Trump replacement for real Covid-19 experts, with his arms defiantly crossed, standing maskless at the Trump “Covita on the Balcony” event where everyone was asked to wear a mask.
Some tweeters were calling the event Covchella:
If you want to give Trump the benefit of the doubt you could say Trump was engaged in a rare moment of self-mockery in the Superman shirt story. If he was serious either it was the steroid talking or his narcissism has morphed into a serious delusional psychosis.

HuffPost titled their story about Dr. Conley on the opening page calling him a fishy physician. I wonder if they considered going with dodgy doc.

This is news which forced this response: “'We reject their support': Trump campaign strongly declines Taliban endorsement for his 2020 reelection” from a campaign with a candidate who refuses to admit that Russia is trying to help him win the election.

Of course Trump’s response to this magnifies the madness multiple times. If you haven’t familiarized yourself with the Dark Triad of which Trump is an exemplar, check out my 2019 story about it. His attack on Gov. Whitmer is more proof, as if we needed more, that he is the poster boy for this incredibly dangerous personality type.
I almost forgot that this happened at the start of this week too:
This is how The Guardian sums up Trump’s week.
Last but not least, there’s the now world famous Pence fly. (Click to enlarge) I was amazed at the speed, less than a second it seems, for two or three flies to get to my dog’s poop before I could get the doggie bag open to pick it up. I looked it up some time ago: The call of the dung: How flies find their meal.
Song for the week:
