Remember the “Twinkie defense?”
Lawyers for former San Francisco County Supervisor Dan White said he killed San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and County Supervisor Harvey Milk because he ate too many Twinkies and suffered from “diminished mental capacity.”
As a result, White served only five years in prison.
Just a few months ago we saw the “knuckle defense.” That’s when Vice President wannabe Tim Walz explained his serial lies by calling himself an idiot.
According to the results of the November 5 elections, this strategy has failed.

Goldberg: So, do you think it’s Musk/Vance?
Bihar: maybe.
Goldberg pounced with a deadly rhetorical tirade, or in her case, a demand for mental health intervention.
“Hey, [Trump]Stay away from stairs. Because, you know, people do their best to stop you from going down the stairs. “Watch out,” Goldberg announced.
The “show” mainstay must have gotten some network feedback during the commercial break. She’s back on the show making a mistake of sorts.
“Well, I need to clean something up because my cat is waiting for me on my stairs all the time, and that’s what I was pointing out — I was thinking about that. I wasn’t trying to point out that they were already standing there with their legs open hoping he would trip.”
