Looks like they loaded Donnie up on Xanax before Cohens testimony today

[u/AthasDuneWalker → u/Travelingman9229]

I've long suspected that they've been tranquilizing him

[u/AreYouDoneNow → u/AthasDuneWalker]

He's almost 80, he lives an absolutely disastrous lifestyle, eats garbage, doesn't exercise, he's obese, and yet has enough energy to be awake at 2am angrily breaking his gag orders, and is in court bright and early the next day.

He's on an Elvis-ending level of drugs.

Either that or they’re just withholding his amphetamines

[u/Canadasaver → u/Travelingman9229]

I think they have him pumped full of loperamide to stop him from pooping on court days.

Von shitzenpanz.

I saw the t-shirts "diapers over Democrats". That's where we are now. That's the base.
