If the people he has to meet are Trump supporters...does he have to meet more people?

Gates is also incredibly strapped for cash apparently. So he can’t fuck around as much as the others.

They’ll never turn on him because they more or less agree with him. I mean he’s crass as heck and is obviously a moron, but the white supremacy and immiseration of the poor and savaging of the environment (and everything else) are all pretty standard fare for the modern GOP. And their voters are even worse, somehow.

I mean so long as our survival is predicated on Republicans doing something for the good of the country we are absolutely fucked. Trump won’t face any consequences because his fellow party members are just as evil as he is. (Just not as stupid. Except Louie Gohmert.)

I don’t think Republicans can feel shame...

Apparently that depends on the state. In New York if at least one person knows the conversation is being recorded it’s fine. I think.

She and her husband both. They’re so god damn creepy.

Oh I love Modern Art! I just think MoMA is a terrible museum with an excellent collection. Like, the building sucks out loud and diminishes the experience of seeing anything there. For me at least.

New York offers a city ID that doesn’t require you prove your legal status in order to receive it.

London is punishingly expensive. Some of the museums are free but the food and drink sure as hell isn’t. Isn’t it usually ranked one of the most expensive cities in the world?

The building is on public land, and originally the idea was that it would be free. When they went from free to pay-what-you-will in the 70s, there was a huge outcry. There’s been this drift as they’ve tried to plug holes in their budget, but frankly the city and trustees should pitch in and plug that hole. Not…

MoMA, in New York, is $25. And that’s their competition. (Even though the Met is such a superior museum it SHOULDN’T be a competition. Ugh. I hate MoMA.)

Exactly. I’m so tired of people acting like these people don’t have any agency at all. They made their fucking choice knowing full well what they were doing.

Absolutely. If I had just sold a tequila company for an actual billion dollars, my best friend would absolutely get a house. As for the suitcases...I dunno! Whenever I travel I wish I had nicer luggage, but it’s never anything I think to buy. From that angle it’s pretty thoughtful!

I don’t think he can stop himself. I also doubt he thinks it’s sexual harassment. Now that I think about it, it would be interesting* to hear him try to define it.

I bet there’s more bad Russia news. Or rather, evidence of financial crimes (which he has almost certainly committed because come on). I cannot imagine he believes his supporters would care about him being horrible to a woman. Or even assaulting a woman on camera. Being a vile misogynist is pretty on brand, after all.

Were the initial allegations more specific than that he screwed around on his girlfriends and wives a bunch? Like, obviously not good. But I didn’t realize there were like Louis CK level rumors.

Fun fact about that place: his art is all fake. Bad forgeries of old masters, etc.

Unrelated but when he dies I’m going to take a big shit on his grave. I decided that a year ago and I just think it’ll make me feel better in the long run.

I think we all know how this ends.
