I think it’s not so much the reciprocal loyalty they want, but more the proximity to money and their dark version of success. As disgusted by Trump as most people are, there are plenty who are strangely drawn to his gold-plated orbit. It’s a misfit country club, but misfits gotta fit in somewhere.
Amazing to me that he's accepting another stint in Rikers (very far from a Club Fed) rather than cutting a deal to testify. As Wookie Monster says, Trump must have something on him. Or, perhaps, is giving him something yuge.
It's not so much that he's turning down a deal to testify, a much as, he wasn't offered one......you know......because of that whole 'lying on the stand' thing.......my only surprise here is that it wasn't a year sentence.......the one you and I would catch for the same offense.
Nah. Some people just turn into cult worshipers. The same way Jim Jones got hundreds of people to drink.poison and David Korean got people to burn to death rather than surrender to the government. Paul Manafort refused to testify against Trump and although he was eventually pardoned that was not a foregone conclusion. Although he did make a remarkable recovery from being on death's doorstep after a few months in jail, being pushed around in a wheelchair too weak to stand up for court appearances.
David Koresh.....but Korean would be appropriate if it was North Korean........As far as Jim Jones goes, he was just your super charismatic psychopath........the suckers that drank the kool-aid were just a bunch of gullible losers looking to belong.......Manafort is just in it for the money......plain and simple........never forget, he was part of the Nixon 'Southern Strategy' asshats along with Roger Stone and Lee Atwater. Atwater pronounced his extreme regret for formulating and implementing the strategy on his death bed (cancer).........burn in hell you fowl, waste of human flesh.........and the same goes for Jones, Koresh, and especially Stone......Manafort owes rich Russians so much cash that eventually he will be getting a free 'flyng lesson'......from the 8th floor of some shithole hotel in Eastern Europe.......Happy Landings fuckface.......

‘Lied to us for decades’: Christian conservative uncorks Biblical rant on GOP
Christian conservative broadcaster Steve Deace is not at all happy with the way that former President Donald Trump and many Republicans have run away from the issue of abortion rights.
Writing on Twitter Wednesday, Deace accused the GOP of pulling a long con on anti-abortion voters in the United States, as he said that they used the anti-abortion cause to secure votes while then running away from the issue once it became politically unpopular.
“We thought Roe was a shibboleth of the damned for Democrats, but it was for both parties,” he argued. “For it also allowed Republicans by and large to lie to us for decades… Now that Republicans have a chance to show they are sincerely pro-life, and act on decades of speeches and promises, they are by and large punting and cowering — starting with the guy responsible for overturning Roe itself. Now plenty of our own teammates are also showing they’re fine sacrificing kids on the altar of personal convenience, just like all the single moms in the Democrat Party.”
Deace wasn’t just content to level charges of hypocrisy against the GOP, however — he also had a biblical warning for all of America that God might soon get fed up with us.
“Some of the harshest moments in the Scriptures stem from when we embrace the killing of children,” he said ominously. “The final straw for Israel was when the people went down into the Valley of Ben Hinnom and cast their babies into the fire for the demon Molech, setting the stage for their diaspora.”
He ended his angry tirade by informing America that it could not possibly win in a fight against God.
“We are playing a very dangerous game as a people,” he said. “A game we cannot win. Don’t say we weren’t warned.”
“Now plenty of our own teammates are also showing they’re fine sacrificing kids on the altar of personal convenience, just like all the single moms in the Democrat Party.”
First: since you obviously haven’t been paying attention Mr God Botherer Bullshit Artist Lying Hypocrite Asswipe, your Republican “friends” don’t give a shit about actual living children so why the tears and teeth gnashing over finding out they don’t give any more shits about your fetus fetish?
Second: “personal convenience”? Really? When was the last time YOU had an unwanted pregnancy Fuckface? Didn’t think so. So SHUT THE FUCK UP!
This is of a piece with these same weasel-wits bleating about late-term abortions = babby murder!!!11!!1!!!1 NOBODY who has an abortion when they are so close to term does it for shits ‘n giggles. NOBODY! They make it sound like you can just waltz down to your fav abortoplex 8 months and 29 days preggers and hop up on the exam table and just order a free range abortion with a slice of devils food cake. The reality is ALWAYS way more complicated, tragic and terrible and usually life or death for the mother, not some kind of carefree afterthought made by a selfish jezebel who hates life.
Third: “single Moms in the Democrat Party.” My Mom was one of those at different times in our topsy-turvy lives, and while I am far from perfect, I survived just fine you misogynist prick face.
When you and your suck-hole brethren start devoting your lives to helping actual real living children and their parents single or otherwise— instead of condemning them and warning all of us that YOUR god apparently has it in for the many targets of your unbridled hatred because you falsely believe in Jesus as a hate-filled being like yourself— then perhaps, you’ll have something worth saying, maybe.
Until that happens take your disgusting hypocritical rhetoric and shove it I’m sick of hearing it I’m done.
You mean the way Republican politicians refuse to do anything about gun control as more and more children get shot in school mass shootings? No? Not that kind of killing children? OK.
I feel like reading evangelicals thoughts on Donald Trump is making me exponentially more insane. You do know he’s about to go on trial for using campaign funds to pay off the porn star he was having sex with while his third wife was giving birth to his fifth child?? You do know this right???? This is your protector of unborn life????
Ummm, he's against single moms but he wants women to not have access to abortions? That will lead to more single moms, dumbass. These people are such evil assholes.
Oh well! Just another person ruining their life for President Klan Robe. Millions more seem to want to take his place. You would think at least some of them would learn, President Klan Robe will never reciprocate for you.
When someone has a tic of saying "to be honest with you" and / or "to tell you the truth" -- a TIC, mind -- you want to watch them carefully with the question in your mind
"So this is an exception, then? That's not a regular habit for you?"
He better not rat on the bikers.
Or the next day he'll get offed - ?
I’ll never understand why people are so loyal to him when he shows continually that he’d throw them under the bus in a second

AND DOES THROW THEM UNDER THE BUS.
Ta, Marcie. There's a movement to close Rikers. I think the protesters should take a break for the duration of the CFO's sentence.

Good point. I forgot some of the details.
He's going to jail for perjury. He's not worth making deals with.
Yes, I forgot about that part. Thanks for the reminder.
Whatever Trump has on Weaselberg must be really bad if he’s willing to go to jail twice for him.
Nah. Some people just turn into cult worshipers. The same way Jim Jones got hundreds of people to drink.poison and David Korean got people to burn to death rather than surrender to the government.

Could be a Pinky and the Brain thing.
No only is it bad but AW has gotta know Trump will use it.
"In a short hearing, Judge Laurie Peterson asked Weisselberg if he had anything to say, and he grumbled “no, your honor.”" which, considering talking in court is why he's in so much trouble, was a good idea.
Damn senior recidivists!

From your first cigarette to your last dying day .... "
Hey, it's not recidivism if you commit a different crime each time.
"They got a name for people like you, Hi. That name is called "recidivism.""
Trump can't do anything right.

There really needs to be a literal hell so cunts (British usage; shut up) like Deace can rot in it forever.

there is nothing that cannot be explained away if you just believe hard enough.
It is impossible that there have been no Trump spawn aborted.
I was going to say "It's impossible that he hasn't paid for at least one abortion" and then, well, you know....
I’m going to use that the next time some idiot brings up how “religious” Trump is. M
