Just for fun, try different Russian or Ukrainian first names with Fuks.

Valentin Fuks, Georgy Fuks, Gleb Fuks, Igor Fuks …

If I had that last name I’d change it to something respectable like Shitz.

Some years ago a play by Caryl Churchill opened in London, it was called ā€œShopping and Fuckingā€. Some people objected to such a title displayed on a marquee. Ever sensitive, the Brits changed it to ā€œShop*ing and Fuckingā€.

It’s not that Trump was wrong on his attendance numbers, he just knew his other under-the-counter campaign donors were stuck in hotels and couldn’t attend personally.

If I were an oligarch named Fuks, I’d use a bit of my ill-gotten gains to change my name legally.

now we know why Giuliani never flew to Ukraine…

Rudy’s been on a 2+ year free fall, desperate to be relevant. Maybe it’s why his son decided to talk to him again, out of pity.

Must say though, Russians mafia and associated grifters are not $2.00 show bettors. Talk about livin’ on the edge!

This is not ā€œlead articleā€ material. Put the impending war back on top and put this ongoing nonsense in a sidebar. Please.

I think more Republican anger with the Rump than we know, is in the nature of dissatisfied customers pissed they didn’t get what their bribes were paying for.

The GOP is a transparent facade for a black-market trade in power. But they’re also the champions of absolute deregulation of all markets.

Now this guy is complaining that he got bad service from the big dog in that unregulated black-market – a vendor who is literally famous for reneging on legitimate deals in legal and regulated markets – and he wants… a remedy, of some sort? For his illegal foreign straw purchase of power via an illegal black market from a bad actor in a market operated exclusively by people who believe as a matter of principle that there should be no such remedy?

How does one type ā€œironyironyironyā€ into giphy? Asking for a friend.

Hey, if you’re one of the ones with the money, the system is supposed to work for you. You pay your bribes dues and then you get a seat at the table. It’s not fair when someone lets the small time grifters in to run their own scams on the side. The boss is supposed to control that sort of thing.

I once had a client who wanted to introduce me to the Chairman of the Board, named… Mr Fuk. Told her not to do it because I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face. No, I wasn’t 12 years old.

Mostly my response is, ā€œof courseā€ but this line made me chuckle

Fuks alleges in the lawsuit that Vanetik duped him out of potentially becoming an accessory to a campaign finance violation.
