I know the Secret Service isn’t big on tell-all memoirs, but I expect they’ve seen some shit already and could make major bank once this circus is over.

There’s apparently a Gofundme already with enough money for the trip and treatment. Other than that, you’re correct that at some point sooner rather than later his long term care if he survives won’t be paid for.

Welcome to the club. We have snacks over there.

I’m almost certain part of the reason he’s paid so much is his contract may not have been fully re-negotiated after his Top Gear debacle. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn the bigger chunk of his salary was for ‘future shows to be produced by’, a golden parachute to get him off Top Gear with a minimum of fuss. This is…

Would this kid even be able to have cognitive thought?

None of them deserves any slack whatsoever. I’m convinced they hired Don Jr’s lawyer weeks before the shoe actually dropped, specifically to prepare to turn him into the fall guy for any campaign shenanigans (since the campaign finance law violations are much less serious than the criminal code violations surrounding…

It’s against 60 Minutes and AFV, two shows that have had decades to build their audiences, and target the exact demographic that is one of the only ones watching at that time.

This show was never going to do well, Sunday evenings are a death timeslot in the summer. I think the intent was primarily to let her get used to a new production staff and corporate culture, then theoretically be ready to roll come fall.
Though I think they should have used her as vacation guest host during the first…

That should be shoes to stop dropping out of the sky. Missed my edit window.

They’re hiding in the tall grass, which in this case is a metaphor for Mueller’s investigation. Some may complain about the time being taken in a few months, but that’s unlikely since they secretly want the investigation to last until after the next presidential election, if their wishes came true.

The most you’ll see…

Please gosh do that.

No but the make for a nearly guaranteed civil suit following any criminal case.

He learned from Vimes that the most useful loophole for a copper is that his oath is to the people, not the government. He serves them as best he can, not the letter of the laws passed by the rich. Seeing their differing interpretations of how to go about that is always one of my favorite parts of the books.

God I miss that game.

My touchstone for relating to and understanding Lawful Good characters has for decades been Sturm Brightblade from the Dragonlance Chronicles. An excellent example of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, and how to find your way through a dark flawed world without compromising your integrity too much. He…

Don was the one who had the connections via Miss Universe in the USSR, Jared and Manafort went along for the ride (not that I think for a second they didn’t know full well what they were doing).

Life support is a tricky thing even on the ground in a non moving building. Anyone who thinks it would be easy and safe to keep an infant alive for a transatlantic flight is fooling themselves.

I’m not fully conversant with the details of the case, but my impression was even though the GoFundMe was set up to cover transport and treatment, his aftercare for what remains of his life would be covered by NHS (if he came back to England) or donations (if he stayed in the US). Even if the treatment worked he’d…

Considering her depiction is getting great reviews from what I’ve seen, and she’s probably pulled down about a million dollars for at most a month on set between the two movies? I think she’s more likely laughing all the way to the bank.

It makes a lot less sense these days, but back when Spider-Man began the timing worked out. With Ben being born before WW1, Peter’s dad being born a couple years after, then having Peter himself a little later in life, after the end of WW2, and Peter hitting his late teens in the early ‘60s.

And yes, I too have totally…
