I am guilty of using commas in odd ways, but that one just seems halting or wrong somehow.

although how can you expect any sort of stylist coherence from one who, like her daddy, apparently hardly knows what direction the sun comes up.

And if I were still grading student essays, one of the things I'd correct first is that cannot is usually one word, not two (although technically it can be either).

I know, I know, picking nits again!

Like, say,

A US president couldn’t go around insulting world leaders, team up with murderous dictators, watch and join in while his cronies rob the treasury.

Some times call for interruption, you spoiled little treasonous mob princess.

Go away. Just be gone.

They have elitism down. Notice it is a put down of anyone who does not think the Dotard is all that.

to stop trying to interrupt Mr. Mueller.

I really, really cannot wait to see this filthy sack of garbage hauled off in handcuffs, along with the rest of her rotten excrement pile of a family. LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP!! LOCK HER UP!!!

that candy doll exterior. I suspected her rotting interior would eventually come through. I also suspect she has much more where that came from.
