I didn't consider that. I'm not really a financials person. Well, I still hope they can scrape a little bit of the judgement out from his various holdings, however slim.

He has a Manhattan apartment he's been trying to sell for 6.5 million. Hopefully they can take possession of that and sell it and get at least a few million each, because I doubt they'll get anywhere close to the full 148 million.

Can we scrape that ugly ass carving off Stone Mountain next? That fight would be the shitshow to end all shitshows.

The article said: "Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.

"Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade."

Referring to this, Trump is quoted as saying: "It was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew."

In response, Davis is quoted as saying he did give his friend a book about Hitler, but that it was actually My New Order A Collection of Speeches not Mein Kampf.

"I thought he would find it interesting," Davis said. "I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish."

In the article, Trump is quoted as saying: "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."

The article also said a Trump Organization employee would click his heels and make a mock Nazi salute at Trump saying "Heil Hitler."

This is like a sketch comedy bit. The funniest part was when Trump tried to pull the "I have a Jewish friend" defense and the guy wasn't even Jewish.

No, silly, those terms only apply to those other people.

Every penny that goes to social programs to help the poor is a penny that isn't going to corporations and their billionaire donors. Of course they want to cancel it, along with social security, medicare and public libraries.

Has there ever been an American politician who suffered such humiliation? He had to beg and plead and kowtow to get his seat and then was booted nine months later. He passed no major legislation. He accomplished nothing. Then he quit. He departs knowing he was an utter failure.

What a pathetic gesture. I'll show them, I'll take away features from my cars! No one subs to Disney+ just because they can watch it in their car. All you're doing is pissing off tesla owners and scaring away potential owners with your little bitch fit. Pathetic.

A lot of those people and the enlightened centrists who say "both parties are the same" are disinformation warriors and Russian bots designed to erode support for Biden. Even just 1% or 2% can make a difference in some battleground states.

Show this to any trump fan and they'll just say:

"No, he didn't". And that's it. You can't reason with trump supporters.

Yep, he failed to build a political career the old fashioned way so he found a controversy right wingers were freaking out about and inserted himself into the equation. Now he gets to grift and probably build a right wing media career of some type. It's sad that it works, but it does work on republicans. Tell them what they want to hear and they'll love you forever.
