all while writing this, I kept checking my phone notifications to make sure Donny hadn't filed a bond and fucked up my post. I still half-expect that lucky fuck to manage it at the last minute, because we live in the shittiest possible timeline

Yeah, worried Vlad might double-down on his losing investment.

I was once fifteen minutes late to court for a $25 ticket and the judge made me pay a $250 bond to stay out of jail on the spot. And that was when $250 was a week's wages, that is if you had a good job. All a these judges and DAs are pro MAGAT. They give MAGATs break after break after break after break.

You notice, these days if you see an American flag flying, the Trump flag is right there with it. I find this VERY offensive.

Expand full comment

Which is exactly why I think we should ALL start flying our flags again - high & proud. It's really lame on our part that we've essentially allowed trumpists to co-opt OUR flag. Our flag, which our forefathers fought & died for. We can't allow that slimy orange SOB's minions to assume it's their flag. It's not. And we need to start flying it again, high and proud. Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Yes. Yes it does.

not some of us....I will not fly mine...I gave it away....I associate the ameican flag with Trumpism since they've hijacked it so much.

But see, that's what they want. We simply cannot give in & let trumpists continue to denigrate the stars & strips that are an iconic symbol of our hard fought for democracy. I hope you'll reconsider. I know you're not alone - my daughter thinks as you do - but I'm trying hard to convince her otherwise too. We need to be able to proudly hang our flags, & the only way to do that is to just do it.

The American flag doesn’t bow to any power on Earth ! 🌍 The flag is not dirty ,it’s being soiled by traitors,that use it as a propaganda weapon in their attempts to destroy America! Fly it in defense of our country and in defiance of the traitors who would see it defiled and disgraced 🇺🇸 Never lower or bow our flag to the likes of Trump and his Nazi regime!

Agreed, they have different rules for the rich and famous. Us poor tax paying , honest, Americans who are not in a cult, are targeted .

I agree with you, the fix is in. My opinion is that the “owners” of this country plan to fix the election in Donnie’s favor. I believe all the bogus polls showing it to be a tight race are just propaganda designed to promote the idea that Donnie’s has voter strength.

Expand full comment

The appeals court decided that Trump had a tough life and shouldn’t have to pay his full bond amount so they lowered it to one 75 million because that was more in the range Donny Brokohantas could afford since a lot of the money he stole from banks, and the state of New York has already been squandered on other failing Trump Enterprises

Expand full comment

He just got the bond greatly reduced, but I’m okay with that. He’s still going to lose his appeal, he has a monitor in place so he can’t hide any of his assets (whatever those may actually really be) and it gives Tish more time to get liens in place for whatever there actually is. Oh and by the way, did you see his new moniker? It’s perfect.

FYI have you seen the reporting on the Kushner rental properties? The story was written up in the NYT Sunday Magazine, perhaps around 2017-18. There were YouTube posting of real vermin, too. Mice running around a baby crib-yikes. Your comment made me think of how they ran those properties, criminally I would say; mold, unusable bathrooms and the worst, they took people to court for lease breaking when they most often didn't, had moved out and of course, didn't have a copy of the lease anymore. And why? Because they were after $3000 to $5000 "judgments"in small claims court, because they were SO broke. Broke from bad investments like building, 666 5th Ave. that almost brought them down. But no worries now, they got "right" with $2B from the Saudis.

Trumps or the Kushners are just criminally sociopathic and deserves no breaks at all.

I used to ask my students, "What is the purpose of television?" I got all the usual answers: to entertain, inform, educate. Incorrect. Those things are side effects if they occur at all.

‘Don Poorleone' memes broke out on X (formerly Twitter) as internet users dubbed the former president as a parodied version of the iconic crime boss character. Eventually, other members of the Trump family were also dragged in and coined the ‘#FamilyFullOfFredos,’ with accompanying pictures of Trump and his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr, referring to the self-willed fictional Godfather counterpart, Fredo Corleone.

How about Orange Judas?

Some of y'all will remember how popular the Orange Julius chain was at one time, popping up in shopping malls all over.

There was a bestselling book with the recipe and other knockoff recipes.

When Rona asked about her Jan. 6 comment (taken from HRC post) “legitimate political discourse,” she shrugged it off as taking one for the team. My question, dear Rona, whose team? Certainly not the one I swore an oath. In any case, Rona may have a contract; I have a remote and will switch channels.

Regarding Trump’s “babies,” it is somewhat of a Freudian slip. His properties are about the only thing he truly loves in this world apart from his cosmic ego.

whore

whore, n. [hohr, hōr]

-Today's word can be traced all the way back to the prehistoric Indo-European root ka- 'like, desire.' Interestingly, this word seems to have split into several different meanings. For the first, the word evolved into a younger Indo-European root karo which in turn led to Latin carus 'dear' and Old Irish cara 'friend.' From this we get English caress, charity, and cherish, all of which have (or can have) very wholesome and endearing definitions. The second path created another, later Indo-European root, kamo, which eventually became Sanskrit kamah 'love' that we are all familiar with from the Kamasutra. Finally, at least for this discussion, the third route is the one in which today's word developed. From prehistoric Indo-European ka came proto-Germanic khoraz/horaz, the feminine form of which was khoron/horon. Eventually this became Middle Dutch hoere, Old High German huora, Old Norse hora, Gothic hors, and Old English hore. As a side note, except for the Old English word which meant 'whore, prostitute, harlot,' the other cognates had the definition of an adulteress. Old English hore was in use prior to 1100 C.E. and continued on into Middle English. It was not until 1535 that there is record of the spelling changing to whore, and as of yet there is not much evidence as to why the change occurred.

Even in a few years, a word or phrase can change in meaning, sometimes to its opposite. Reading the Constitution for example there are things that were written that, (as was said in The Princess Bride), ‘don’t mean what you think’ they mean.

Amazingly, even when you carefully research a word you’ll find disagreeing opinions on its origin and definition.

Not surprising then that when people hear word salad they hear what they think it means, each person differently.
