Maybe Team Orange will arrange for the sedition case to be transferred to a more DT friendly place, like Moscow or Budapest. If he fails to attain the WH yet again this time around the appeals will still be in play in 2027 when he's running for 2028. I'm expecting a load of chaos at the GOP convention this year, including audible death threats and possibly actual gun violence; not like Chicago '68 where the action was in the streets, but inside the convention hall itself. My guess is attendees will be allowed to bring in guns because all MAGA people are Constitutional scholars conversant in 2nd Amendment rights. Will be wild. "Eric, keep the jet prepped and ready!"

Perhaps the boost is from the travel sites putting together air-hotel-etc packages and are price-competitive with each other.

Actually what you saw was a condom, and it was not on his foot.

Spoken like a model parent.

A reporter researched his properties and found there is one NYC building that he owns that's value is close to the size of the judgement. He only lost because he was so exhausted from all that winning.

Nothing like a brief stay in, say, Bangladesh, to improve the appreciation.

If it were your daughter or mother that was the victim you would care little for the nuance between rape and sexual assault.

Back when he was in the WH they caught him with a tactic right out of John LeCarre (with the aid of Israel). The word was passed to DT and was later caught by counter-intelligence monitoring Russia. It was reported but no one seemed to care.

I found a bird cafe in Hong Kong, not that I was looking for one.

At first look I thought "dog cafe" was a wiseacre critique of the selection of, err, serving ladies at a certain beverage-serving establishment.

Aspirin or acetaminophen? All these stupid anti-social incidents and the jive excuses of things being out of their control, was the feast of Saint Bullpile this weekend?

I would think the average noodle stall would just let the thief run, calling the BiB will just involve losing more money. In Brazil, politicians and their like do not pay their restaurant tabs, a torrent of pompous outrage would ensue if the bill was presented to them, and the place will probably go out of business soon after.

More likely he forgot to do his usual "do you know who I am?" bully tactic when the bill came. If not for the press coverage and the place being a landmark he would be laughing in everyone's face. Or did he simply forget that he had a memory disorder?

I can see the possibility of DT shooting himself in the foot on this internet deal: using the history of the site formerly known as Twitter being bought for over $44 billion he may insist on something closer to that than the paltry $3.9 billion we've been hearing about. The wrong words at the wrong time (he's good at that!) could turn the proposal into a pig's breakfast. There are other investors that would be getting pieces of the payout, and no doubt he'll try some fancy footwork to bilk them (he's good at that too, just ask his niece). And then there is tax of the profits. Also it looks like any payout coming his way might be intercepted by the forces of justice "hey, we'll take that . . . "

Motion detection cameras can be considered AI. Same for word completion when you're typing. Maybe not all that intelligent, but definitely artificial. It's all a matter of perspective.

That stuff is terrible, bad vibes! Get rid of it before you get arrested. Here, give it to me, I'll flush for you.

Read something recently about online scamming. Chinese gangsters in LOS and Myanmar came up, some kind link to human trafficking and forced labor. Do these count as data centers?

The stupid part is thinking that people are just going to say "oh, ok, we'll be Muslims now" and live by a whole new (well, old actually) set of rules, and so on. Don't you think there would be a fight, resistance, etc? Just try going to the US and saying "no more bacon." But get burial insurance first.

Word going around that the small donor $$$ has eased up considerably as of late, sounds like he tapped the poor fools dry. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/26/trump-lags-in-small-dollar-donations-as-gop-fundraising-company-hits-snags.html

What a disgusting image: all that orange tanning glop and hair spray smeared all over the floor, and a safety hazard too! If nothing else Nikki is clever. There are a lot of people in politics and the media that covers it anticipating what some are calling The Rapture. No, not the religious thing. With so many felony counts and civil cases, living on junk food*, poor health, raving temper tantrums, etc (as my ex-mother-in-law used to say "he's going to have a brain attack") DT may be out of the race one way or another. Then what will the GOP do? They will say "okay, so who came in second?" and she will live happily ever after... NOT! Then will ensue the equiv a of a gladiator free-for-all and the last one standing wins. There is no predicting what the GOP will have on their hands after the July convention. * I never bought into the McDonald's thing with DT. I think he may eat it sometimes, but I see it as a ploy to make his people think he's "just folks" -- "yeah, I have a private airliner and golden toilets, but I eat at McD's." What's not to believe?

Please tell what Buckley means here. I hope you are not informing us William F. Buckley has come back from the grave!

Thank god!

I would not be surprised if the MAGA caucus re-opens the Bengazi case, so DT can campaign against Hillary. Sounds ridiculous? That's the modern day GOP for ya. So far this election season he's been campaigning against President Obama, Pelosi, Hunter Biden, (who did I leave out?) and it looks like none of them will win the presidency When it is mentioned that Jordan may be facing charges he gets this facial expression like he may be soiling his pants, I first saw this when he was put forth as a member of the 1/6 congressional committee and Liz Cheney mentioned that he may actually be called as a material witness. It's always entertaining when a bully is revealed to be a coward. https://www.newsweek.com/jim-jordan-joe-biden-impeachment-bribery-russia-1871889 Comer might consider a new career as a Walmart greeter, or hope he gets kitchen duty in prison. https://www.newsweek.com/james-comer-resignation-calls-grow-after-russian-intel-bombshell-1871862 Hey, these links are to Newsweek, a true booster for DT. So none of that fake news dismissal.

The Pussycat Dolls played KL (or Singapore?) back when they had that international hit. I recall reading about it in the Straits-Times, imams were sending out missives condemning the lasciviousness etc. Well, I used to think if the Spice Girls were supposed to be the hot gals you'd meet in a club, these Dolls were predatory strippers. If in need of entertainment, type into your search page beatles philippines (try to get the recording of Lennon telling it)

Pulling out a wad of bills like that in front of people is counter to instinct, especially with someone who has power over you at that moment. Well, for me, at least. There are a lot of Indonesians who go to Malaysia for work. If you ever took an AA flight between the two countries you've witnessed it. It looks like LOS is putting things in place to discourage that. If people have that kind of money they probably would not be going abroad in search of work, looks like our folks in brown uniforms figured out.
