That’s fair. Typically resistance is led by the League of Women Voters. Dunno why, but they are always out front with the lawsuits. 

You are 100% correct. If the mess gets cleaned up, the GOP will create a new mess. It’s like Sisyphus pushing the rock up the hill. 

Trust me, those of us who live here know all about it. But every time something happens to break the stranglehold, like restoring felon rights, the GOP outmaneuvers us. Every time. 

This is the answer, right here. Collection agencies are basically free to demand literally any amount of money they choose, and former felons are shooting at a moving target. Even if they write a check for the full amount, the agency can come back and demand fees, interest, and pretty much anything they want. You’re…

Well, considering how fast this impeachment thing is moving and how many GOP operatives are being implicated, I’d be surprised if we’re still NATO members by Christmas. 

Out of an abundance of caution, though, I’m going to guess that Hezbollah is the president now.

True. His manager Vlad may have called him in for a performance evaluation. 

I, for one, will fight to the last strip of bacon. Delicious, delicious bacon. 

Those are both pretty low hurdles to clear.

As you note, he doesn’t actually have any money to give away. That’s why he’s grifting so frantically and desperately with these tacky hotel stay scams. Those Russians want their interest paid.

I know. I keep thinking that the GOP has got to realize at some point Trump is destroying them. I keep wondering if they will take this opportunity to rid themselves of Trump before he ruins all their carefully built grifts. 

Nah, nobody has a lower opinion of Trump’s “intellect” than me. But this is truly Corporate Board Management 101 for Business Failures. I’m sure Trump has been voted out by corporate boards before for gross incompetence. I’ve seen it with other CEOs. They learn very quickly to keep board turnover high and keep the…

By presidential decree, no doubt. “NO COLLUSION! CASE CLOSED! BRING BACK MCRIB NOW!”

Yes. Bush is damn lucky that Trump came along to put a shine on Bush’s shitty reputation. And remember, Trump still has more time to make W look even better by comparison.

Right? You think, “that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.” but tomorrow, you’re gonna wake up and think it all over again.

If the Trump Administration had a slogan, that would be it. 

So ... like reverse evolution? Christ, that explains so much.

Yeah, it’s basically an investment diversification strategy. The rich idiots pay the bills, and the smart middle- and lower-class students get the accolades and burnish the school’s rep. And it’s not really unique to Harvard, either.

You’re probably right. Trump is unbelievably stupid, but he’s cunning and sly. The administrative turnover is probably a trick he learned a long time ago to prevent any boards of directors from ousting him from his various failing companies. Keep them in turmoil and they can’t organize against you. 

Every day the situation becomes significantly worse. Now this asshole is fucking over our allies because he’s trying to distract the public from his impeachment.
