Yes, and no one in the Wonketariat has ever done that before.

Dance. The proper question is DANCE. Because angels are joyful, they are joy incarnated. And this raises the question if they are waltzing or doing the Mashed Potato. Or some other dance.

I had missed that, thanks.

Follow the money…to him.

Keep in mind that much of Rump's "real" job has been laundering money for people like the Russian mafia, arms dealers like Adnan Khashoggi and Victor Bout, and mercenary scum like Eric Prince and Pug Winokur. This is why he's been able to scam people in plain view his entire adult life and nothing ever happens to him, and why he could confess to felonies weekly on Twitter and still stay in office.

OT, but sort of related:

Back when I was working for the Marine Recruiting Station, and our offices were downtown in the old Post Office, there was a building that was going to be imploded across the street from us. I (along with a bunch of others) let ourselves into the office for a front-row seat. I set up my camera on the window ledge and knelt down, and when the explosions started, pressed the shutter and let it snap about 20 frames.When I stood up, there was a hole in the window at about the level of my forehead, and we found a chunk of copper about the size of my thumb on the desk behind me. When I had the photos developed and printed (yes, it was that long ago), I could see a copper-colored blur in about 3 of the frames, getting bigger each time.So if I'd been standing up to take those pictures, I might not be here today to bore you with this story.

She can't charge him criminally, just fuck up his business.

Did you keep that chunk of copper as a souvenir?

No, It's Melvyn Bragg.

Excellent. Can you do the same thing with "I'm looking forward"?

You'd have been bored as well.

I wanted to! But GSA took it away and said that they needed to collect any debris like that to present to the demolition company for reimbursement. They said they'd try to give it back to me, but I never saw it again.

Leads? This is a paper case. It was done.

Mr. Bragg, please press 1 for “I’ve been bribed”, and 2 for “I’m being extorted”.

I hope someone at SDNY is investigating the corruption emanating from the Manhattan DA office.

We will wait.
