Nah, they'll still kiss his ass...

And seldom make money. They were a money laundering business

Mother Theresa would have never been in position to have to cover up payment to a prostitute

I'm not going to predict what 12 random people will decide based on my history with casinos. My limited experience on juries (just one) tells me they are impossible to prejudge

It's almost as if he makes it up to suit his agenda.

Everything he touches either dies or gets convicted

Beyond gaslighting, it’s reality manipulation

I'll throw this here rather than creating a House Election thread... It's interesting because his gerrymandered district runs about 250 miles north to south, includes the cities of Danville and Lynchburg before reaching into the far suburbs of NoVa. I saw tons of Trump/Good signs while driving thru the area Sunday. I guess they need to be updated.

2/10/1967 SP-4 Thomas Manning,from Chesterton IN, 21 years old, was killed when the fuel truck he was driving was involved in a “traffic accident”. In Viet Nam .He was 21 and pulling extra duty. He was my first cousin. Donald Trump received 5 deferments because of “bone spurs”. How many boys died because of his cowardice? His sons have never held real jobs in their lives . Am I bitter, hell yes.

Just caught the box score, traveling today. Were the last couple of innings a slow pitch softball competition?

I was watching the guy to the right of him. He was either conflicted or constipated.

Ken Burns usually takes the high road...not today. Trump is the opioid of all opioids

I can remember when the Virginia Community College system charged next to nothing for tuition. Looked at the cost for the one in Richmond the other day, nearly $15 thousand not including materials. My wife was part of the first Co-Ed class at UVa in 1972, All in including room and meals was about $5. She did go on a full ride. My son graduated from Milwaukee School of Engineering in 1995 or so. Total yearly tuition was just shy of $10 Thousand including room and meals. Now it's running just short of $50 thousand a year. Thank goodness we had CBS radio stock options back then were running about $65 a share. I just checked on Parent Company Audicy...10 cents a share... That's what the free market gives you

Private Spurheels and his sons who haven't worked a single day of their entitled lives. Throw in the Russian Spy third wife. What exactly have they sacrificed? Nobody asked them for anything. It's been 8 years of revenge against a silly Obama joke

They held onto Jim Price well past his sell by date. Gibby deserves the same benefit

https://open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark/p/judge-outlines-mar-a-lago-shell-game-classified?r=45wcm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email Very damning…. THIS WEEK’S MOST IMPORTANT NEWS is barely making headlines: On Tuesday, it was revealed that a federal judge found over a year ago that there is sufficient evidence, if believed by a jury, to find that Donald J. Trump committed numerous federal crimes in connection with his alleged theft of classified documents and obstruction of the FBI’s attempts to get them back. Meanwhile, a second federal judge is dragging her feet getting that case past “Go,” let alone ready for trial before the November election. The second judge is Aileen Cannon, who on Wednesday held hearings on two of the many motions sitting on her docket in Florida. The indictment originally came down nearly a year ago, on June 8, 2023, and trial was supposed to start this week, on May 20, 2024, but Cannon has—indefensibly—delayed it indefinitely. This week’s hearings dealt with Trump’s rather silly “Motion to Dismiss the Indictment Based on Selective and Vindictive Prosecution,” which Cannon tabled, again, for now. She also considered co-defendant Waltine Nauta’s motion to dismiss the charges against him on the theory that the government did not specifically allege that Nauta—who was caught on camera moving boxes out of a Mar-a-Lago storage room to Trump’s personal quarters in the days following Trump’s receipt of a federal subpoena—actually “knew that there were classified documents on premises.” The first motion is classic Trumpian bravado, and the second raises a factual question for the jury. Both motions should fail, but that’s not the point. The point for Trump and his co-defendants is to file whatever lawyers can dream up, even if it’s legally garbage, in order to give Cannon more reason to delay the trial further in the hopes that, if Trump wins (or steals) the election in November, he’ll call off the whole prosecution.

It's a bit like the college loan argument. As a boomer I could pay off that loan in a couple of years on a job making about $3,000 a year (early to mid 70's). I could also find a decent apartment for under $200 a month, my car cost me around $2000 new. If I took a part time job, my second employer would try to accommodate my schedule, and I knew in advance if there needed to be any changes. I'm not sure that happens for kids or older adults anymore

Somewhat related to the perceived economy thoughts about the election is this NYT story. It does seem to make sense about the "Peak Millennials" those born around 1990-91. That group reached college age 2008-09 just about the time of the Bush housing crash coupled with a major upswing in college enrollments (thanks to late blooming boomers) and rising student debt. Many of them became eligible to purchase homes around 2020-21 as prices skyrocketed thanks to low interest and the pandemic. From the story https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/02/business/economy/33-year-olds-millennials.html?unlocked_article_code=1.uU0.oxHI.R6Fax_wnGfX6&smid=url-share Basically, I'm wondering how many of that age bracket are the ones that feel whatever economic pinch there is perceived to be. How many have become agnostic to the campaigns believing that whomever gets elected is going to do a ****ty job. Or in other words "A pox on both houses"

This...

Also wages. Just a reminder under Trump last time the rich got rich and the poor poorer.
