So Now Trump LUNGED at a Secret Service Agent? Seriously?

Look, I don’t know what to think about these 1/6 hearings. The riot was bad, and I’ve said so since the first lectern was lifted. Trump was irresponsible at best. The whole thing was stupid and depressing, and it just made me even more relieved I never jumped on the Trump Train.

And, also, in addition to that: These hearings have devolved into a circus. The #Resistance is so obsessed with getting revenge on Trump for beating Hillary Clinton that they don’t care how desperate they look. This should’ve been a slam dunk for them, but they keep banging it off the rim into the stands.1

I mean, what the hell is this?

Lunged? He lunged?

I have no problem believing Trump got mad and acted like a baby. But you lose me when you claim he lunged at the driver of his car, or anybody, anywhere. At least keep it plausible, man. Occam’s Passenger.

Just look at the man. When was the last time he lunged at anything that didn’t come with a side of fries?

Remember when the BlueAnon types all screamed about Trump having trouble walking down a ramp? They said it proved he was too feeble to be president. Now we’re supposed to believe he’s Ethan Hunt.

Or maybe he’s this guy:

This feels like Jussie Smollett all over again. A lot of people have a strong emotional and/or financial incentive to believe any story that makes Trump and his supporters look bad, no matter how silly it is. And I’m sitting here in the back of the classroom going, “Wait, what? You guys are buying this? Really?”
