Love the humor here. On Maddow last night she had on her fav doctor that suggested Trump and his henchmen (RFK, Jr. in this case) fired the doc that saved his life with COVID-life saving drugs and perhaps he, Trump, wasn’t aware of it. He went on to say that someone should tell him. Think it would make a difference? I’m not sure.

Nothing short of the Clockwork Orange Ludovico Technique would work with these sociopaths. "The technique requires the subject to be strapped into a chair with their eyes held open while watching prepared films of violence under the influence of a purposely developed drug; in the film the drug given to Alex is named Serum 114, which is a reference to Kubrick's past film Dr. Strangelove, in which a device is called a CRM-114." From a Fan website. Technically this is a form of aversion therapy in classical conditioning. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/a-psychologist-at-the-movies/201205/classical-conditioning-in-a-clockwork-orange

There is an interesting from of aversion therapy in Stephen Kings short story Quitters Inc. I wonder if there is some form of adapting it to every time DumDum lies.

Penguin-gate? Depression-gate? (Let's hope not on that one).

Good ones, Gregg. Depressiongate has a double meaning because in economic depression millions of people are depressed.
