GOP Stunned To Discover It’s Not Running Against A Cadaver I

It was pretty good. They even referenced the lies about the rape story happening years ago in a different country. Nice to see that fact checking getting out there to a more mainstream audience.

And Scarlett did a good job being creepy (though in some ways she wasn’t creepy enough).

That’s as despicable as it gets. A form of ‘Stolen Valor’. Right up there with Katie Britt. Using their ‘womanhood’ for brownie points while weaponizing monstrous stories of rape in order to benefit the Bad Guys.

I maintain, a couple of sharp elbows to her seat partner would’ve made a much more enjoyable evening.

Especially if they were stealth sharp elbows…

I’m sure Joe Biden’s border policy made him do it

Just the other day a raw milk cheese manufacturer along with his company pleaded guilty due to an outbreak of listeria that killed two people and left six others hospitalized, prosecutors said. He was fined $100k and could face some prison time. Congressman Massie can go back to reading his kids Ayn Rand bedtime stories about how the cruel oppressive government is going after hardworking dairy farmers who sell raw milk.

Oh my. That truly makes my eyes squeeze shut (unfortunately, that came out first as “squeeze shit.”) I’m sorry…

The comments section of the NYT is a less than authoritative source of information.

Chubb is not giving trump $92 million for the heck of it. trump is giving more than $92 million for Chubb to play with while he appeals. That’s how appellate bonds work.

For the record, the farm DOESN’T due goat milk cheese, milk, etc., for this very reason (in addition to the law that Connecticut doesn’t permit unpasteurized milk to leave the property).

Thanks! Here’s hoping!

And on paper probably way more than 92M. Surety or lenders demand surplus collateral if they’re security is in 2nd or 3rd or worse position. Good luck managing the risk for the NY State bond.

If he’s not paying Chubb in cash – and there’s really no way he can do so for the NY state bond – then he’s going to have to pledge a lot more property to secure it because of all the time and trouble it will take Chubb to foreclose and get it sold. And that’s close to impossible when there are mortgages or other existing liens on the property.

Perhaps, they will take trump’s evaluations, like MAL is worth $1.8 billion. The bond company will be so conservative with the properties, like the golf properties that do nothing but lose money. Can’t evaluate it as a business. What a lovely mess trump is in. I think the financial media has always overvalued trump’s wealth and when you get into the brass tacks, I wouldn’t be surprised that he doesn’t even have the asset value to bond out 500+ million.

The golf business picked up after covid hit, because it was one of the safer recreational things left to do.

Also a handy vehicle for laundering money.

I don’t feel any concern that Joe might die in office. He appears to be in good health, and his brain is sharp. In addition, he’s only a few years older than the average life expectancy for men in America.

I agree completely, but he’s also doing an incredibly stressful job, with (and I’m being kind here) nut jobs who attack him for not knowing that “Africa is a country.” I think my stress would be through the roof, and as they say “Stress, it’s a killer.”
