Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we are given to know. This is Lauren Boebert’s version of “pretty.” I don’t even want to think what her version of fat, old and haggard looks like. We’ll leave that speculation for another day. In any event, that’s Donald Trump, catching 40+ winks in court, per usual and Bobo is defending him.
Lauren Boebert: Trump is not sleeping in that picture. He’s praying. But if he is sleeping, he certainly looks pretty while he sleeps. Maybe it’s just a somber moment pic.twitter.com/ZtIdeU38Bw

There you have it, if he’s sleeping he’s pretty, if he’s praying, he’s beautiful. And is his farting a sacrament? Asking for a friend.

And if he’s praying it must be about Two Corinthians, right? “That’s the whole ballgame,” isn’t that what he said?

And Jesse Watters has a theory as well.
In the latest instance of Watters blindly defending the indicted former president, the co-host of The Five told his colleagues that Trump doesn’t really care about coming off as tired—even though his team lashed out at reports they claimed were false on the trial’s first day.
“He’s meditating. He’s in a meditative state,” Watters insisted. “When you’re defensive about something, you avoid something. Trump’s not defensive of being old and tired. He can shut his eyes and not feel bad about it like Sleepy Joe.”
Watters, of course, has taken Trump’s side when it comes to seemingly everything regarding his criminal trial. When it got underway in April, he sowed doubt about whether there was a fair jury. The following week, he fretted about how the temperature of the courtroom was just so cold that “they’re freezing him to death!”
Watters wasn’t the only cable news host who has weighed in on what Trump’s periodic eye closing is all about.
MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell figured it was Trump’s way of trying to make his initial snooze not look so bad.
“There is the eye closing, which he now does about ten minutes into the proceeding, and I think he’s doing that to try to prove to us that he’s actually not sleeping because it’s only 9:40 a.m.,” he said after attending Monday’s proceedings. “But the eyes are closed for extended periods of time, the head starts to tilt.”
This is the new normal, friends, where we wonder whether the Republican nominee is:
- Sleeping;
- Praying;
- Making a passive/aggressive demonstration;
- Is on drugs;
- Maybe doesn’t even know himself why he’s doing it or even that he’s doing it.
And we are told that this individual is leading in the polls to return to Washington. Maybe that’s what American history will show, that in the year 2024 the electorate decided to bag a constitutional democracy and vote for a kakistocracy. If the polls are right, on these facts, then that’s exactly what is happening and we are lost.
