It seems to me that the Family, the Organization, and the Party need to intervene in the hanky panky between Skanky and Alina. She’s lost every case by the dint of her ineptitude and ignorance. He’d do better if he had Rudy assisted by someone typing into ChatGPT as his lawyer. ChatGPT makes a few mistakes but outperforms incompetent and lazy people from the strip mall by a large margin.

Reasonable negotiation is the standard opposing counsel should follow before requesting a scheduling change. Alina Habbab just plows along trying to delay. Who knew that the funeral for Melania’s mom would be a 10-day affair for the grief-broken ex-president?

Somebody here needs to explain why union guys/gals subsequently voted for Reagan and the strikebusters. Is it because he was affable, wore a cowboy hat, and crushed the Air-traffic-control union? (this still resonates, of course; see recent NYT article)

“… because he was affable…” My mother in law voted for Reagan because she liked his smile. Sigh…

Absolutely. Sounds fascinating.

My father, a strong union man, said there is no such thing as a Democrat from a right to work state. Said the same about Clinton. He voted for them but wasn’t happy about it.

Every once in a while when Mrs dont is out I’ll play Romantic Warrior at volume. I do the same with the 9th and Mozart’s Requiem.

Read the article by @randyabraham, which he links to above. He is focused more on the rust belt, but the picture he draws explains a lot about Trump supporters in the Midwest (and elsewhere) generally.
