I want you to get a camera crew and go cover some moment in Trump Financial Armageddon in person. The video will be priceless. And say all your bad words. Please!
At least be there for the repo of his very shiny 5th Avenue tower, especially if he tries to hold off the siege in his penthouse (Dye Hard?) and vows to fight to the last secret service agent...
there's a story there. I'd originally called Levin an "overheated goober" and when Ms Spouse read the first draft, she said "you have to change this. what does that mean? what is an overheated goober? it sounds like a half-fried peanut" and I said "fine, that's what I'm changing it to"
Yes, and he’s Trump’s ace student. Listening to his comments fomenting about his plight is pure trumpism: I’m the victim and spewing his laments about how unfair this whole sordid affair is. Yes, Peter, we know that with your education that you throw around like candy should have provided you with the insights required to simply show up for your deposition and assert the 5th. So much for your so called Ph.D in Economics. I guess there were no courses that even touched on the ethics of your profession. Enjoy your stay and make sure you don’t bend over in the shower.
Maybe he can fill us in on the J6 Insurrection and the way he described it on Ari Melber ,about 2-3 weeks or even more. Some wild hand gestures and the “Green Bay Sweep,” was how he explained J6.
That would be a good place to house the Immigrants that asshole abbott buses out of Texas with taxpayer dollars, of course after they are all arrested.
It seems a given that some foreign entity is going to fork over the ‘loan’ and they will have control over the orange pustule. The talks of reinstating Manafort is another way of saying that they’re openly looking around for Russian money and let’s not forget Fuckface’s good buddies in the Middle East. If no one comes through and saves his ass that will be the biggest surprise, ever. As we all know he is pure filth that has worked the system to hell and in full view. It’s still shocking everyday that his cult can’t see, hear or think. 🙈🙉💩
That's why I'm not doing any celebrating until I see Tish James pointing her perfectly manicured index finger at a building and saying, "SEIZE IT!!" Someone will come through for this orange gasbag -- someone always does.
I don't know about that. Maybe Pouteen can find the readies somewhere, but a half billion dollars is "Real Money(tm)" even to the billionaire class.
They all know he's a con man, but how desperate would they have to be, to be willing to toss away half a billion in hopes of a possible tax break? He would have to be offering them something waaaay bigger.
The real problem is National Security. I'd be shocked if he hasn't retained copies of the juiciest stuff for just such an occasion.
I still think he can get Netflix “Orange is the New Orange” and NBC “Prison Apprentice” into a bidding war for rights to 25 seasons of reality TV at its best.
George, I was just thinking that Jack Smith needs a couple of aces up his sleeve and the Mueller report has, as your book points out, the roadmap to prosecute for "obstructing justice, intimidating witnesses, subornation of perjury, colluding with foreign actors, violating the Constitution..." We taxpayers already paid for the research, Jack Smith just needs to indict.
Yeah, Carl Palmer left for Asia. I would have liked to have seen them with Powell. I saw Greg Lake on a solo tour at a small theater years ago where he did a Q&A and sang from his King Crimson and ELP days. Still had the pipes. I was amazed at how many young people were there.
I saw Asia, and it was pretty impressive. But I am a much bigger Steve Howe fan, so Palmer wasn't really my main focus.
If you search Youtube for keith emerson fanfare for the common man, you will find a video a concert where Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and John Entwistle join Keith and Carl. It is amazing
I was lucky enough to see ELP with a full orchestra at Madison Square Garden in the 1970’s…..exact date a little hazy. After the show we saw the orchestra was dropped due to logistical/ cost issues.
Oh you can count on it. Steve Howe and the rest of Yes were also a fave, but I loved Rick Wakeman the most. Saw him doing his solo work a few times. Journey to the Center of the Earth was epic.
I read somewhere that Greg Lake wrote ‘Lucky Man’ when he was 12 years old. ELP was a great band. I saw them in L.A. when ‘Brain Salad Surgery’ was released. I was in high school. What a show!
This is why employers do credit checks to ensure prospective employees aren't security risks to the company. Trump is a security risk to THE WHOLE FUCKING COUNTRY!
And the rest of the free world. He's so desperate at this point that he's probably already plotting to sell any security info to the highest bidder that would help save his crooked ass from having his assets seized. Anyone else who ever had the opportunity to pull this shit would never get a chance to do it again. The very thought that he'd be allowed to be briefed on any of this highly classified info is fucking insane.
Absolutely. Don’t like immigrants? There will be many millions (billions?) more of them, and you could be one yourself. For instance when coastal cities really feel rising sea levels, or your Sunbelt state gets too hot for anyone to work outside.
I’m just trying to figure out how he would disclose who he got the money from if he got it from say Putin or Saudi Arabia or someone like that. If he comes up with the money now, somebody will be digging in to find out where it came from. And once it’s disclosed, how’s he going to explain WHY they gave it to him (you know it won’t be a loan).
Agreed. They have definitely distanced themselves from him as has Melania... haven't seen her anywhere. Only the "adult" sons seem to be all in with Daddy.
Melania was seen at Mar-a-Lago when Orban was there. He presented her with a large bouquet of flowers. She looked very surprised, of course. I imagine her staff combed through them to see if there was a camera or a mike attached. They’re in the garbage by now.
Apparently Jared and Ivanka are cut from same cloth as trump. He gave them access to foreign dictators to influence US policies for personal profits. They took their ill gotten gains and now they never really knew trump, the just passed in the halls of the White House. 🤣
I don’t know a great deal about private equity funds, but this money is not Jared’s personal money. It was a fund created and funded by middle eastern countries (primarily Saudi Arabia) to invest in Israeli startups. (Yeah…go figure…) Jared (who has zero experience in finance) makes money on the eventual public offerings or profits from said companies. The fund is based in Florida and subject to SEC oversight. So….long story short….they didn’t “give” Jared $2 billion dollars personally, like everyone keeps saying, but there still must be a quid pro quo in there somewhere, just haven’t figured it out yet. But, hey, what’s $2 billion to the Saudis? Chump change….
When dems retake the House, I would like to see them pull Jared in to find out when this fund was initially discussed/set up, because it sure seems to have been when he was still “working” for US taxpayers. He was in the middle east on January 6 doing something and it sure wasn’t negotiating peace in the middle east, remember? Anyway, this is a hella lot juicier than Hunters paltry $5 million, that’s for sure.
Well thank you for the cheerful news. Fani Willis will have to confiscate his properties. We can bid on the properties for $1.00 then donate them for housing all those in need of shelter.
First I want to see his criminal name ripped off the building in Chicago. It blights our beautiful river front!
Thanks for the correction Geoff. Fani will get her turn too. I’m pleased for her. Two competent ladies of color to go after the worst criminal ever…I want to see their names in lights! And in the history books!
Perhaps, folks, it is time to start a letter-writing campaign to President Biden to put the kibosh on the Orange Menace's national security briefings. I am doing my letter after lunch.
Don’t ya just love how the dipshit who gave tax breaks to billionaires can’t get a bailout from billionaires? It’s just too delicious. Schadenfreude with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
If he doesn't pony up on Monday, I'm popping champagne. It's as good as a conviction.
However, Derepaska and Klimnik (the third runner of the troika, Pregoszhin, is no longer available) may pony up, and Manafort is the forerunner. It won't just be polling data handed over this time.
This is an absolute 5-alarm fire. If Diaperstain Donnie somehow comes up with that money, we've really got to look out! This whole thing is pathetic in that it's scary as shit! He should be in jail....security briefings🤯..you gotta be fucking kidding me!!!!
It would be glorious to see donald finally held accountable in such a major way. But that filing yesterday was a Hail Mary to the likes of Putin and MbS. He’s shopping. And we all know he still has more classified documents stuffed somewhere that he can use as collateral. And he has members of Congress happy to give him even more. I’ll feel better once Donald is six feet under.
Interesting how in this country, there’s no justice meted out for lying to the voters about an election being stolen or using that lie to incite a mob to stop the counting of votes and getting supporters to wave a flag with your name on it as they smear their own shit on the walls. But inflate the value of your assets to defraud a bank to get a low interest rate, and that’ll be $454 million please, due on Monday.
And for Fox News, lie about the election and guess what, no penalty, but lie about a business (Dominion Voting Systems) and that’ll be $787 Million dollars.
Just shows where the priorities are in our legal system: People and our Constitutional Republican Democracy can be defiled or destroyed without penalty, but harm a business financially and there’s Hell to pay!
So Emperor Shitstain's counsel is crying to the court to waive the bond requirement? Fuck you, shitgibbon! We need to have a pool on which property that Tish grabs first. 40 Wall St. would be my guess.
oh, and happy Peter Navarro Reports To Prison Day to all who celebrate
I want you to get a camera crew and go cover some moment in Trump Financial Armageddon in person. The video will be priceless. And say all your bad words. Please!
At least be there for the repo of his very shiny 5th Avenue tower, especially if he tries to hold off the siege in his penthouse (Dye Hard?) and vows to fight to the last secret service agent...
It’s a fiesta of shite.
there's a story there. I'd originally called Levin an "overheated goober" and when Ms Spouse read the first draft, she said "you have to change this. what does that mean? what is an overheated goober? it sounds like a half-fried peanut" and I said "fine, that's what I'm changing it to"
It's so good to have a partner who is also funny!
And boiled peanuts for sale all over the place in Northern GA, MTG would be a boiled peanut dipshit.
I love overheated goober but I would have called him an overheated Kia even more worthless than a goober! 😭
That one had me snorting my coffee out my nose 😂😂
Almost as savory as a half-fried/half-boiled whatchamacallit. LOL
"...parsimonious dick." was the one that made *me* lol.
Screenshotted it to save and savor!!
It will become a new staple in the annual Festivus celebration!
Should be a national holiday.
Calls for celebration
Anarchy Princess will probably be there to celebrate
Hope so.
Wouldn't it be great if Anarchy Princess would show up with a running commentary!🤣
🍰🎉🎉🎉🍺🥂

DON'T DROP THE SAOP.
😜
FINALLY. I was expecting that Clarence Thomas would intervene.
Maybe he can fill us in on the J6 Insurrection and the way he described it on Ari Melber ,about 2-3 weeks or even more. Some wild hand gestures and the “Green Bay Sweep,” was how he explained J6.
I hadn’t a clue what a Green Bay Sweep was…
Football isn’t my forte.
That's a religion I could get behind.
I think they should seize Mar-a-Lago and use it to house immigrants and the homeless.
You mean like Melania?
😂😂😂
For a second there, I thought you said "Malaria". Still kinda fits...
Cleaning up the bedbugs and cockroaches first. The immigrants and homeless deserve better.
Good idea, Clyde.
This I love
That would do Donnie in permanently 😂😂😂
That would be a good place to house the Immigrants that asshole abbott buses out of Texas with taxpayer dollars, of course after they are all arrested.
Thanks @JeffTiedrich -somehow I had a feeling you might write about this.
By the way -Donald: That's 41,518,300,000 in todays USD to Ruble exchange rate.
You're welcome.
Lol

I agree. If no one comes through I will be thoroughly shocked.
Half a billion is a lot of cheddar. No one can afford to drop fuck ton on a “takes one to know one” double dealing chiseler. And…the plot thickens…
That's why I'm not doing any celebrating until I see Tish James pointing her perfectly manicured index finger at a building and saying, "SEIZE IT!!" Someone will come through for this orange gasbag -- someone always does.
You know one of his despot buddies will come through for him
I don't know about that. Maybe Pouteen can find the readies somewhere, but a half billion dollars is "Real Money(tm)" even to the billionaire class.

I still think he can get Netflix “Orange is the New Orange” and NBC “Prison Apprentice” into a bidding war for rights to 25 seasons of reality TV at its best.
Orange is the new orange...brilliant!

George, I was just thinking that Jack Smith needs a couple of aces up his sleeve and the Mueller report has, as your book points out, the roadmap to prosecute for "obstructing justice, intimidating witnesses, subornation of perjury, colluding with foreign actors, violating the Constitution..." We taxpayers already paid for the research, Jack Smith just needs to indict.
He may believe he has more of a solid set of cases indicted now. I trust his judgment. I just don’t trust Aileen Cannon or the corrupted ‘Supremes’.
Maybe he really meant 25 seasons, as in YEARS? That's what I thought, anyway
that's thousands, not millions
Its 386 thousand not million, still it’s a chunk of money down the drain for him
I thought it was 600k in UK? Costs to winning side.
My hope is that US Intelligence will feed some incorrect info to tfg and then monitor international chatter to see which enemy bought the bogus info.
THAT is exactly what needs to happen.
great idea Krista!
Dumbed down to the, oh, let’s say, fifth grade reading level?
“Oooo what a Lucky Man he was” Emerson Lake & Palmer. If you know the song, it ends: “no money could save him, so he lay down and he died”.
Yes please!
One of my favorites!
Same! I saw them twice in concert. Absolutely fantastic. I was a huge fan.
I didn't see ELP, but I did see Emerson, Lake and Powell, and I have to admit that was life changing. Keith is a god on the keys!
Yeah, Carl Palmer left for Asia. I would have liked to have seen them with Powell. I saw Greg Lake on a solo tour at a small theater years ago where he did a Q&A and sang from his King Crimson and ELP days. Still had the pipes. I was amazed at how many young people were there.

(Ok, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTEmldzx1xE ) Be sure to turn it up!

A great album. Probably still my favorite though Trilogy ranks high too

The free world and the rest of the world. Climate change is the security issue that tops others.
Yes. Got food?
Absolutely. Don’t like immigrants? There will be many millions (billions?) more of them, and you could be one yourself. For instance when coastal cities really feel rising sea levels, or your Sunbelt state gets too hot for anyone to work outside.

And once it’s disclosed, how’s he going to explain WHY they gave it to him (you know it won’t be a loan).
Probably for a favor rather than a loan. In the meantime, the clock keeps ticking away...
World
Has anyone asked why he doesn't try to get it from his son-in-law? At whom the Saudis are throwing billions at?
I get the sense that Ivanka and Kushner have grown to loathe Former Fuck
Agreed. They have definitely distanced themselves from him as has Melania... haven't seen her anywhere. Only the "adult" sons seem to be all in with Daddy.
Isn't Melanias secret to youthful looks , a BLOODBATH , from virgins ?
Melania was seen at Mar-a-Lago when Orban was there. He presented her with a large bouquet of flowers. She looked very surprised, of course. I imagine her staff combed through them to see if there was a camera or a mike attached. They’re in the garbage by now.
Like Father Like Daughter ,
They got their Two Billion? And Salut( Quebecois)
Suck on those Lemons Donny!
Instead of Biden’s name for the orange monster, TFG, I like the Jeff version, FF!
Very possibly they had a talk about Jared and Donald being an anti-Semite and all.
Ohhhh maybe since Ivana died?
Jared's assets aren't liquid, they are invested, and he sure isn't going to use them as security for deadbeat dad in law.
Apparently Jared and Ivanka are cut from same cloth as trump. He gave them access to foreign dictators to influence US policies for personal profits. They took their ill gotten gains and now they never really knew trump, the just passed in the halls of the White House. 🤣
They earned &640 million during their time as “unpaid administrators”
🤬
👍👍😂🤣
What would the gift tax be on $464,000,000?
I read it somewhere but believe it’s absolute shitpile. No one wants to be on the hook for that. Loyalty doesn’t extend that far, lol
That truly would be flushing $500M down the crapper, gold plated or otherwise.
Rich people didn't get rich by pissing away real money...
Exactly.
I don’t know a great deal about private equity funds, but this money is not Jared’s personal money. It was a fund created and funded by middle eastern countries (primarily Saudi Arabia) to invest in Israeli startups.

Legit question
That first picture - with his too dark makeup dripping into his small, piggy, red rimmed eyes - is priceless!! Thank you!
Sweaty spray tan with white rings around the eyes - now that is the look of a strongman.
I did enjoy that.
Right? 😂
Well thank you for the cheerful news. Fani Willis will have to confiscate his properties. We can bid on the properties for $1.00 then donate them for housing all those in need of shelter.

Oh yeah, two women of color putting him in his place. That is the totally delish sight we are beholden to!
Perhaps, folks, it is time to start a letter-writing campaign to President Biden to put the kibosh on the Orange Menace's national security briefings. I am doing my letter after lunch.
Just sent an email to the White House demanding that the briefings be cancelled.
Sent mine in too!
Bravo!
Absolutely!
Don’t ya just love how the dipshit who gave tax breaks to billionaires can’t get a bailout from billionaires? It’s just too delicious. Schadenfreude with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Add some baklava for the middle eastern touch!!😂😂

Fruit of the Loom shouldn't brief him.

Why brief him when the Russians are probably already giving him talking piints?
