Good attorneys won’t take him. Sure, he has money; but he’s notorious for not paying his attorneys. He’s screwed so many lawyers over the decades that nobody will work for him anymore because they know that, regardless of what he promises, they’re never getting any money. His lawyers have had to sue him on several occasions to get paid. So the only people who’ll work for him are these fascist bottom-feeders. And Trump probably prefers the quacks because instead of giving him good advice, they’ll tell him what he wants to hear.

Bit of context: The unit these officers were part of, 9th mobile, was created to terrorize people in the West End of Louisville, which has a majority African-American population. Its predecessor was called “VIPER.” It took years and several scandals before the cops realized “VIPER” was not a good name, and they needed to call it something less offensive. “9th mobile” is a less-offensive name, but it was the same racist shit that VIPER had been doing.

I don’t know why Jason Riley wrote this without mentioning the racial aspect, but he might have been assuming people from Louisville would understand. But for those of you not from Louisville: this is the context.

Or his preferred candidate. The GOP majority is too small for anyone to get elected speaker without his approval. He has enough sock puppets in the House to block anyone he doesn’t like. That’s why it took more than a dozen votes to confirm McCarthy, and why McCarthy was removed. Gaetz didn’t make that call himself.

The only way anyone else could become speaker is if a few Republicans did what’s best for the country and voted for Jeffries. But that ain’t happening.

And don’t forget to watch the stunning 1989 sequel, C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D.

And he’s the kind of person who’ll just keep stepping further over the line until the hammer finally comes down. Judges know this type, and they usually throw them in jail sooner because they know the violations will only get worse.

But I doubt this guy’s ever going to jail. He’s rich and famous, so…different rules.

This is like when the Queen was at a livestock show and they brought in some cows. She leaned toward Prince Phillip, pointed at the cows, and said, “Cows!” Why? Because there were cows, I guess.

Yes, absolutely. It’s not just a credit-card number, it’s personal data tied to your entire Twitter history. He’ll sell your personal data to advertisers and assorted crooks who can then target you based on what you tweet, search, view, and so on.

Unfortunately for the Israelis, 0% of Benjamin Netanyahus think he should take responsibility for October 7. Public opinion doesn’t matter much when you’re spiraling towards a dictatorship.
