Trump simultaneously complains about a two-tiered system of justice, while enjoying benefits no-one else in the country would.
Anybody who can release the name of a judge, prosecutor, or family member of someone and then have dozens...hundreds...thousands of people harassing that person should be forced to follow judicial guidelines. Not for Kurt. He complains about the process while ignoring the reasons that things like gag orders are in place.

just another Russian asset if you ask me, taking everyone for a ride, out to sow discord, division and distrust to ultimately weaken the U.S. so that Russia can expand into the void.
He's been surprisingly successful. Best investment Putin ever made.

Sorry mate (guy in the article, not you Steely), but nothing you've done or will ever do is going to replace this as your most memorable contribution to the planet. Granted, if it wasn't him, it would have been someone else. It's a bit like blaming the staff a Mar-a-lago for moving files.
I just finished it playing in the background (kinda boring). What struck me is that they paid all of this money to hide things that 8 years later half of the country doesn't care about. OK, maybe not half, but a lot. We're all so used to it...but if you take a step back...
The guy on the Access Hollywood tape, who was cheating on his 3rd wife with a pornstar, after ending a 9-month relationship with a former playmate of the year, becomes the conservative overlord for a party that preaches family values, religion, and personal responsibility. After attempting to circumvent the Constitution and interrupt the peaceful transition of power, for the results of an election he refuses to acknowledge, he's back as the nominee for the party. In the meantime, he's been found guilty of lying about the value of his businesses, owes NY state half a billion dollars, is on trial now and awaiting trial on 3 other indictments, sells shoes and bibles, and is in the process of running a financial scam under the full lights of Wall Street and the SEC.
Nobody would believe this if it were a movie script.

Is that his daughter or his wife... I always forget. I don't think he lusts after anything he already possesses, anyway.

Since I'm slated for jury duty in the next few months, I wonder if dozing off during meetings is valid grounds for getting myself dismissed.
They said the temporary assignment I had to work with the Department of Justice for covid response during lock-down wasn't enough to get me out of it.

You know this, but once it's public anyone can be a buyer. All it takes is a brokerage account. So all the 'regular Joes' who bought in on day one to be part of the donald's new media empire have now lost 2/3rds of their money.

26. Wow. He has to hold above 17.5 or he risks his bonus shares (probably, of course they have moved to sell shares early, so they will probably just go ahead with the bonus/shareholder dilution anyway).
I didn't track what the premium was on the puts at day one, but it was really expensive. Now I'm wondering if they would have been in the money?
