I probably blocked it out. But ... yes. I remember being in MS one time. I was on my way from Austin to Birmingham and I couldn’t fly and we had to stop. I’ll never forget it.

I believe there are some pretty well-trod malpractice laws for doctors and lawyers about how to best serve their fields, too. It’s weird that “Nah, fuck ‘em” is a valid professional outlook in finance.

“What color shoes go with a nuclear fireball?”

It blows my mind that financial advisors not only don’t have to have their client’s best interests at heart, they fought the rule trying to get them to, and somehow people are still using them.

It’s the 5th Circuit. Texas. Louisiana. These are not the places from which a thinking American citizen necessarily expects the “hallmarks of reasonableness”.

It’s also very possible there aren’t any emotional fissures between them at all and this is simply a business transaction to move their assets into her name before they’re frozen or seized. Neither is contesting anything which means they probably had everything worked out before hand. Now that’s not terribly unusual…

Today’s Code 45* indicates that la grosse orange écailleuse is thinking wistfully about how his escape from this living nightmare would be so much easier under the Canadian parliamentary system.

The Stormy Daniels interview will get Super Bowl sized ratings: yes/no?

Don’t worry, I got u

Yes, indeed. Will we survive this with any semblance of integrity at all?

“...the divisions in our nation will be exacerbated as any trial (impeachment or criminal) nears.”

I hate the whole “we will never forget” message around combat deaths, terrorist attacks, etc. Yes we will. We will forget. Almost immediately. Particularly when the story falls out of the 24 hour news cycle and is replaced with some other awful bullshit.

My feeling is that Vanessa Trump’s filing for divorce while her father-in-law is still in office is a definitive omen that the walls are crumbling around them. Were Mueller not closing in, there isn’t a chance she would have divorced her husband during the term. Whether this is a ploy by one or both remains to be seen.

It is not pointless because Mueller probably has a lot of them already so the point is to see what they do NOT turn over and then you have a bunch more crimes to charge them with.

Eric is the Fredo in a family of Fredos.

Do you think it’s possible they’re divorcing so she can get some of the assets before they’re seized? Could this be a plot to keep some of their shit? I’m curious about this.

Varadkar is openly gay, I wonder if Pence had to retire to mother’s favorite fainting couch to deal with it?

In today’s Code 45*, the “president” responds to all your burning questions.

Every time I see that poor child my heart breaks. The slumped shoulders and thousand yard stare bespeak a soul who waits with diminishing hope for a luck dragon to appear and take him away from this nightmare.

Well-fitting suits are for closers, kid.
