I knew a guy who made his own equipment. He got a lot of his supplies from a tack shop.

I once picked up a container of low-fat cream cheese by accident. You know all those studies that show people can't tell the difference between regular and low-fat versions? One bite into a bagel took care of that canard.

Jared has the ultimate leverage on her. She got judgements against her in the Trump Org trial that are going to restrict her activities in making her own mark in business, especially when it comes to financing. Jared, in this instance, has clean hands that any banker would enthusiastically shake.

Give her a break. She already has a habit of putting Jared Kushner's penis inside her.

"All right, the problem, right, between rum and gin, yeah, is that gin, right, it leads to the melancholy, whereas rum incites violence, you know? And it also allows you to be liberated from your self-doubt."

Paradoxically, I don't think he can win because we know he can.

In 2016, the the 25+ year smear campaign against Hillary Clinton had done its job of dampening enthusiasm for her, and Trump was so obviously corrupt/stupid/bigoted/mean-spirited that it didn't seem he'd have any chance of beating her (and he wouldn't have if not for the stupid, fucking albatross of the Electoral College). So millions of people who never would've wanted Trump President either stayed home or voted for what they thought was a harmless third-party candidate.

But now we know better. The GOP has clung to Trump longer than they would've for any other loser because nobody motivates more people to get out and vote for the GOP than Trump. But now the GOP is trying to get rid of him, because now it turns out he motivates far more people to vote against the GOP than for it.

I will not presume to predict whether Trump will get the GOP nomination in 2024. What I feel I can predict is that if he does, voter turnout will be huge- and the overwhelming majority (enough to overwhelm the stupid, fucking EC) will vote to keep him out. Because we know it can happen. We've seen what happens if it does, And we don't want that to happen again. We'll be scared and motivated.
