It's true, if by 'best' you mean 'most suitable.'

Pretty sure it isn't working.

'Take control' meaning 'EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION TO ME!'

I'm more inclined to believe that it's them playing him like a fish. Dangle the bait, let him nibble, and then yank it away.

That could be because we haven't heard about it?

Rudy. HADDLE v. GARRISON et al., (1998). The US Supreme Court ruled that the mere fact that one is an employee at will does not preclude the termination being unlawful under the Civil Rights Conspiracy statutes. 18 U.S.C. Section 1503, 1505, and 1512 are criminal statutes covering the same conduct. Employment at will is not a defense. Dumbass.

This is their version of the 17 minute gap, except it goes on forever.

They’ve always wanted to meet. The meeting without preconditions was a huge coup for North Korea.

It is a perpetual saga because they commit crimes and treason multiple times a day.

The thing is, If Turnip can manage to lose to N. Korea and China at the same time, in the chaos of the ensuing 3-way fight we might attain independence from Russia within a decade or two.

But he has to lose the USA decisively to both China and N. Korea (separately, not as a coalition) at close to the same time, or his already losing to Russia sticks.

In -e dimensional chess, you have to lose the gambit repeatedly in order to win it. But not on Tuesday.

As I've said before, adult onset dementia can be subtle in its initial presentation.

This administration is a gaggle of Sundowners with kids colluding to ignore the obvious signs long enough to assure their inheritance.

My theory is that Giuliani is making so many complex, contradictory, outrageous, incredulous, backtracking statements because if a jury ever gets anywhere near this mess they are all going to commit hari kari. I was on jury duty over a case which involved an owner, a contractor, a subcontractor, and an injured man. In deliberations, nobody in the room had remotely the same sense of who was culpable, nobody. I've heard that seasoned reporters meet for flashcard drills just to keep upon on the complex weave of threads.

But hopefully this will explode in Giulliani's face and the jury won't be able to follow any of this but throw the book at Trump because there is so much shit he has to be guilty or just because they hate him.

It's for the benefit of the appeal- on grounds that StinkoPervoDonny was incompetently represented.
