Hilarious. Ears straight up like a golden retriever. "You’re saying I need to give somebody money?

Trump Style? All I can ever think of him when I think Trump Style is when Terry Gross interviewed the English women who created What Not to Wear and she asked them "Should men with big guts wear their belts under or over their gut? Clearly the Rump is an over the gut guy. In that, his style reminds me of the old Jewish grandfathers like my own who favored that same under the armpit style–except that they didn’t have a clue that there was a thing called style. They were too busy discussing the evils of capitalism and what they thought of Trotsky. As for his baggy pants and tie even longer than the circumference of his waist, even they are nothing as compared to the scowls and other facial distortions that he uses to make him look a tough guy rather than the simpering narcisist he actually is.

Your life is waaay better than that “rich” guy forced to sit unappreciated in a dingy courtroom watching his fortune melt away.
You got puppies!!
Way good… I like the beard too. We are similar in that respect.

Somebody want to remind me what things constitute litigatable libel and slander?

Al Capone was eventually put away on TAX FRAUD, and I think that’s the way that this is going to end up.

TOO MANY

  1. NONDEDUCTIBLE EXPENSES, WHICH WERE KNOWINGLY DEDUCTED TO AVOID INCOME TAX; and

  2. LUMP SUM PAYMENTS, WHICH WERE NOT REPORTED ON GIFT TAX RETURNS SO AS TO AVOID GIFT TAX

I’ve had a wonderful time.

But this wasn’t it.

Thank goodness for all of us, Cohen saw that Trump stiffed Pecker and required Trump to pay him directly, hence the trail of evidence between Trump and Cohen in Stormy Daniels matter.

If any of this sticks enough to make for a conviction, Trump can only blame himself for creating an evidence trail by being his usual corrupt self.

You’ve managed to impune both human beings AND dumpster fires in one short post. Nice.

I’m not sayin’ that Biden ordered the thermostat to be lowered, but clearly, he didn’t order them to keep Mr. Trump comfortable.

Amidst all the “Did Trump stiff Pecker” jokes, TIL that Pecker isn’t even his birth surname.

He was born David Jay Peckerwood.

Tucson’s not such a bad place. And from what you’ve shared of your dad’s influence, you’ve done right well.

They have a way of keeping us centered on what is really important as they are vessels of unconditional love. My 18 month old Silky Terrier Shiloh has been quite the supermodel lately. I started out showing her just to do something cool and fun. Then she started winning. Now I’m wondering what have I gotten myself into? :rofl:

Outstanding!!! My folks were into showing our Clumber Spaniels. Out high point after years of practice in the ring was my mom showing our AKC champion in the ring at Westminster in NYC. She took the breed and placed first in Sporting Group then she placed second for Best in Show. What a day.
I wish you and your pup many winning days.

I love Tucson. Been here 50 + years and 44 years in the same house. I would bet good money I am a happier man than trump with his millions …or is it billions… or maybe just hot air… stuck in his cold courtroom with no loving crowd to soothe his battered ego. And prison in his future.

EDIT TO ADD
I was lucky to have the parents I did. They had a solid loving relationship. Our farm provided me the exploration I needed as a kid
We had 112 acres of fields and woods in sw Ohio. I was 7th generation on that ground. I still have close friends there. Darrtown is tiny. Just a bar and general store and population of about 450. Barely a wide spot on a country road. Yet it produced Walter “smokey” Alston who managed the Dodgers baseball team from 1948 to 1974. He was a childhood tight bud of my dad’s and I counted him as a friend. Smokey took the Dodger west from Brooklyn to LA. They won the World Series in 1955. I remember the parade of the team thru our tiny town.

It’s complicated lol. Here, it’s disgusting, but not a factual assertion, just hurtful and asinine mockery, so really not giving rise to a tort.

Also, “litigable.”
