what's with donnie's loud whiny high-pitched indignation?

sounds much more desperate than i'm used to hearing from him.

usually the desperation is obvious in the lies, but the emotional tone is confident and strident.

this time he sounds emotionally desperate.

If possible he’s acting even more brutish than usual, doing his Mussolini pose.

He’s on a roll. No teleprompters needed. His native language is gutterspeak, typical of a coward.

I see him doing a speech or doing his finger moves while he's speaking to the cameras, and I turn the channel or turn off the TV. I've really heard enough. Everything is a lie. There can be no more analysis if everything is a lie. And it is. We know he's desperate. We know he'll lie whether he's before a crowd of Fanboys or whether he's before a camera crew. It's always the same: I'm great, and everyone else isn't. That's it, over and over. Still, the Fanboys can't get enough. He's got that one trick that never stops giving. Until it does.

I truly hope a rogue, lightning bolt out of nowhere fries him to a smoldering crisp on a golf course. Really.

11. Not to mention, Trump lies that Kerry was in a bike race

He wasn't -- and yes, he was 73 years old. However, he as Senator rode 100 miles in a charity bike ride (not race) in MA.

Not to mention, Trump likely can't even ride a bicycle -- and certainly not for miles.

He also complained that Kerry did not walk away from the negotiations. Somehow, I can't see Trump actually doing the hard work of diplomacy sitting with other diplomats for even an hour -- that way exceeds his attention span. Not to mention, I don't think he will be showered with awards as Kerry was from our European allies, with many praising not just his work, but his uncommon decency.
