Without hinge

Actually, the picture in the previous post does have some amusing context, as it shows the moment at the RNC immediately after West Virginia governor and senate candidate Jim Justice, who was supposed to read from the teleprompter the phrase "everything hinges" on Trump winning in November, instead said "we become totally unhinged" if Trump doesn't win. Now BlueAnon are going spare at what they see as a call to arms. It reminds me of the moment at the 2020 debate when Trump told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by", which almost everybody chose to treat as a request for the fascists to keep their powder dry, when it was obvious to me it was the result of Trump having a senior moment and not being able to come up with the verb phrase for what a bystander does.

The dog, I dunno.
