Final Chorus You can’t hide your lying hands, They’ve drawn the lines, erased the lands. The ink may fade, the crowd may cheer, But history won’t clear your stance. You can’t hide your lying hands— We’ve seen too much to miss the dance.

Bridge We watched the deals, the hush, the spin, The hush money, the phantom win. The handshake stiff, the fingers crossed, The cost of truth forever lost…

Chorus You can’t hide your lying hands, They’ve built a wall of shifting sands. You point the blame, then shake the room, But truth won’t bend to your commands. You can’t hide your lying hands, No matter how you reprimand.

Verse 2 He tweets at dawn like thunder, Then claims he meant no harm. He hugs the flag with passion, While sounding false alarms. He says he loves the people, But only loves applause, And every time he’s cornered, He rewrites all the laws.

Chorus You can’t hide your lying hands, They’ve inked too many twisted plans. The truth slips out between your boasts, No matter how you pose or stand. You can’t hide your lying hands, We see the sleight beneath the brand.

You Can’t Hide Your Lying Hands Verse 1 He came down golden escalators, With a grin too wide to trust. He said he’d drain the swamp for us, But filled it up with dust. He waved and smiled for cameras, Signed orders with a flair, But every deal he brokered Left someone gasping for air.

I think you're looking at it backwards. It's not "republicans have gone crazy." It's that "crazy people have gone republican, sane people think they're nuts and have become dems or independents."

It is, but I find it interesting that while repubs go on at nauseating length about how much they love the orange rapist, his poll numbers among repubs are slightly lower than GW Bush's highs - a man who I perceived as relatively popular but not insanely so.

Once upon a time, GWBush had a 26% approval rating, and I got curious about something, so I checked what percentage of American citizens are of substantially subnormal intelligence. It turns out to be 24%. They tend to vote republican, but I would guess that some of them would be independent too.

Sure. We all know that. But it doesn't change the fact that he doesn't have the support from the base that The Orange Rapist does, and he doesn't have enough charisma or smarts to get it. They can throw tons of money at him, but the base is never gonna support him like they did The Orange Rapist.

They're probably just from IVs being put in his hands. So the bigger questions are, why did they put IVs in him, and why not higher up his arm, and why not a PICC line if they couldn't get a vein elsewhere?

I think Vance will personally be even worse, but I also think that he both won't have the support from the sheep that The Orange Rapist does, and is too stupid to carefully consolidate power (and he'll need to consolidate after the keystone of repub power dies) before trying to do something nasty.

While I wouldn't put it past him, I think he's actually unable to keep up an act like that for more than an hour, maybe less. The man has no self control. He'd do something dumb to give it away immediately like loudly bragging that the media is so stupid they even believe his prosthetic an his act.

Yes. Absolutely, if they simply had IVs in both hands. And if he got a bruise in one hand, they would want to use the other hand for the next one. What we should be asking is, WHY DID HE HAVE AN IV? OR TWO?

themcp.bsky.social (@themcp.bsky.social) reply parent
It's probably just on his hands because they had an IV in there. The bigger question is, WHY did they have an IV in there? They usually use the hands when they can't get a vein anywhere else. And if it's such a problem, why doesn't he have a PICC line?
themcp.bsky.social (@themcp.bsky.social) reply parent
themcp.bsky.social (@themcp.bsky.social) reply parent
The bruises themselves are very probably just bruises from him having IVs in there. The bigger questions are, why did he have IVs, why not higher up his arm (typically they use the hands when other sites won't work), and why doesn't he have a PICC line if they need to put needles in often?

I think he has two positives going for him: 1. The reich wing won't stay united under him. The Orange Rapist rules because everyone fears him too much to express any concerns. Vance doesn't have that power. 2. He's not smart enough to do as much damage as he would like to, or as much as TOR did.
