He heard that his “playing hardball” tactic made the market sink, is what.

Also, isn’t paying those fines off... actually paying their debts to society? Rather than, you know, letting those debts sit unpaid?

If prison, fines, and social stigma are not enough to deter someone from committing felonies, “also, you might not get to vote” is not really a deterrent. But you knew that, and I’m sure you also knew that the intent behind laws prohibiting felons from voting wasn’t to impose a just punishment or to deter wrongdoing -…

Would you though? You might just be angry that this motherfucker is telling you that you get to starve a few more weeks.

That’s exactly it. He’s falling back on the only play he knows how to make - but now he’s President, he doesn’t have the upper hand, and the people he’s threatening to play hardball with can vote him out.

They’ll just NUH UH that it never happened and he looked strong. Reality is not something big on the cultists’ priorities.

You can skip a lot of tedious Shabbat preparation with a big enough donation to the building fund.

It’s not that hard to go through an Orthodox conversion, especially when your husband-to-be is wealthy and runs in amoral circles..

This shouldn’t keep you up at nights, because yes, he’s going to leave the White House. He’ll scream about “FAKE RESULTS” and promise that his very smart lawyers are working getting the election on the right track, just like they were working on locking Hillary up, and then he’ll go off to the golf course.

He doesn’t give a fuck about protecting his wife or Guilfoyle, certainly not to the degree of admitting to having COVID unless he was forced to purely through being unable to hide it. There’s just so much awful with these people that it is wholly unsurprising that a bunch of news came out at once.

That’s exactly right. They’re admitting it because they were trying to get ahead of the leak.

Well, step one is not using “yell at” and “discipline” like they were interchangeable.

It’s probably both her own legal risk and his abuse that’s making her change her story. And no doubt she’s been getting ‘concerned’ calls from GOP operatives about how this matter really should be dealt with privately.

“I don’t like how she ran her campaign” is way out past “Both sides are evil, it’s just a matter of which will benefit you more”. Come on.

Or, because it now appears that this was domestic violence and not at attempt at suicide, how about these?

Update seems to be that this was less a mental breakdown than a domestic violence incident. His wife fled the house and reported that he had been beating her and loading a gun. She thought he might be in danger of self-harm because she heard a gunshot.

John Edwards would like a word.

There is absolutely no point in talking to Trump fans. The only thing they believe in is the warm fuzzy feeling they get thinking about Trump.
