In the movie version, every time RoFo talks to someone like DMW or Warmington on the phone from the basement where he's holed up, there's a gun to his head.

Of course a concrete reason for RoFo heading to the States would be to avoid arrest, since they'd then have to extradite. This would also be a concrete reason for going into hiding COUGH I mean rehab.

Ding ding!

Look, it's pretty simple. Doug went for coffee at Tim's wearing a black suit where he was mistaken by two employees and a passer-by for Rob, while spending 15 minutes handing out T-shirts and posing for photos which however no-one posted anywhere. He then did NOT change into grey sweatpants...

Says 8.45 am here. You have have your time zone set wrong.

Doug Ford now trending on Twitter, comedy gold.

I've come across this behaviour many times before, and always in sociopaths. Scary.

Presumably someone other than the girl Cayla would have witnessed this too.

Right. As far as I'm concerned Doug just confirmed it was Rob. If he'd said nothing, I could believe she was mistaken. But by lying he confirms it. Wow.

I'm pretty sure this is our White Bronco moment playing out in slomo

Worth googling John Haines, the guy who seems to run most of those outpatient facilities. Seems like RoFo's kinda guy.

The changing into a grey sweat suit detail clinches it for me. That is PURE #rofo.

Well, that it's not true, mostly.

As MetroMan just pointed out on Twitter, RoFo is in hiding, not rehab.

The comments on that Sun article are very revealing. I think it's safe to say that Robbie has lost the Sun readership, and no-one actually believes he's in rehab.

Since Doug and MW are the ones talking about Rob, surely it's them who should shut up? If Rob were in rehab, that is, which he isn't.

"The mayor admitted he’s in kind of a working rehab... I asked for my calls sheets and I am making calls to constituents,” he said. “I am getting help but I still want to help.” 100% basement.

The threshold for being prescribed Ativan during alcohol detox is surprisingly low. They err on the side of safety. I think Rob has spent the last several years permanently hammered. Like I say, he's not in rehab so it's all academic anyway.

Also, remember that when ever the FoBros won't tell you something, it's because they have something to hide. Always. If he was actually in real rehab they'd be trumpeting it.

He's so not in rehab. The focus on working out, the phone calls. It's the worst kind of bullshit. He was on his way to Doug's place in Chicago, got turned back, and ten to one he's now stashed with one of his steroid-dealing trainers.
