I like the pictures of the high-rise dwelling. It looks like a Iranian with a gilding fetish, who got expelled from interior decorating school, was turned loose on a zoo cage. I think the finishes are in keeping with the trash look, but perhaps, just perhaps, there is a modicum of taste in the family which would lead the bougie-bitch subspecies to fault Iran for the trash look and seek revenge. Thus, the revocation by D Jerkoff T of the Iranian agreement. It makes as much sense as any other explanation for the Jerkoff's behavior.

I almost* feel a little sorry for Melon. I'm sure she thought that wretched liver-spotted tub of lard would be dead by now.

*Not really.

All the gilt, none of the guilt. Sigh.

Cluelessness, also too

Actually, it was both of them but it's difficult to keep up with the multitude of criminal actions perpetuated by this family of grifters. They believe they're above the rules. Bondi was given a donation so she would not open an investigation into Trump University and Cyrus Vance was pertaining to the Trump Soho Hotel/Condo building. Here's a link that provides more info. https://www.newyorker.com/n...

Can you imagine the outrage from the RW'ers if Michelle Obama had demanded the same from press photos? No matter how low Trump goes, his ignorant supporters overlook it. Will they remember this when the next president is a Democrat? Will they ignore any criminal actions from others? Of course not! They're still demanding that HRC be locked up when it's Trump under investigation. Trump loves their ignorance!

Where do you buy chairs like that? Unless a theatrical prop rental is going out of business. Is there this special store in NY for mobsters and middle eastern tyrants. Idi Amin would know better than to buy that.

I am just going to pop in a reply by noting that I think the likelihood of Pence pardoning Trump is 99% because all of them suck, while the chance of Melania just waiting for him to die of arterial blockage, instead of going through with a divorce is 50/50.

The prenup probably gives her a pile of IOUs and mechanic's liens. Can't blame her, I just hope she gets sole custody of the kid. Of course that will be a moot point if the Strumpet winds up imprisoned or defenestrated by his best bud......

The Trumpiverse may be the HELL envisaged by St. Thomas Aquinas.

Read up on CCC by the unparalleled genius Roger Penrose. NOW.

Dark matter/energy? Entropic gravity and MOND may be one and the same thing. Forced upon us by Planck-length cutoff? Quantized gravity?

Matter/antimatter asymmetry? A universe without such would be stillborn, not like the phoenix-like universe envisaged by CCC. ( I concede that this does not address the origin, but only the necessity of the asymmetry!)

And I am not knowing what you mean by 42. President Clinton? Please explain.

Coming to grips with the substrate is one important question: my best idea is this, that number itself constitutes the universe. Yes, I am a neoneoPythagorean.

The other is consciousness. My intuition is it proceeds from the Aleph-one universe to our accustomed Aleph-null universe. Not entirely different from the Thomist doctorine of ensoulment. And that is the best I have at this particular moment of our spacetime.

Is 42 from "Hitchhiker's Guide........." Oh, a joke!

Do you trifle with me?

All that's gilded... Or they have a Edith Wharton fetish.

Trevor Noah has frequently compared him to strongmen in Africa, with that "hair" an analog for Mobutu's hat!
