1 old boxing glove, allegedly from a Brazilian MMA fighter, a sport that does not use boxing gloves. Even their stupid bribes are lies.

They're not boxing gloves per se, but they do frequently gloves which are light weight and have fingers for grasping. They're likely called boxing gloves by newscasters who don't know nor care about the difference.

Well, Putin didn't want to help somebody competent to win. That might not have gone well for him. But Trump? There is no way Hair Furor can mess up that won't profit and amuse Vladimir.

If one also posits the Observer-Created Universe, then one can proceed to a belief that not only are we co-responsible for the creation of this one, but also hold the power to remake it as we see fit. I have more than once advocated that we begin living AS IF we are already in that better world, on even just our little daily level, because As above, so below. Banishing with laughter will, needless to say, also be required.

When [the violinist] Paganini’s reputation began to spread throughout Europe, some people started referring to him as “Hexensohn“, which means ‘Witch’s brat‘. They claimed that Paganini was in league with Lucifer for being able to play so well, suggesting he had made a deal with the Devil to be able to perform his almost supernatural displays of technique. Paganini loved the rumor and went out of his way to cultivate a dark persona after hearing it.

He would dress all in black and occasionally arrive at his concertsin a black carriage pulled by four black horses. His physique was always quite emaciated and pale, which contributed even more to his “demonic”appearance. Whenever he performed, Paganini’s thin body would sway back and forth eerily on the stage, and his eyes would look white from them having rolled up inside of his head. With his long, wild hair swaying to and fro, he embodied the perfect image of the damned artist. From:https://www.lifeinitaly.com...

Women - mostly - in the audience would swoon, and should a scarf "accidentally" flutter into the audience they would fight over it. This was in the early 1800s.

I do think Mueller's statement was a message to the sources. The message says "If you leak, I will dispute you, even if it just to say it's not potato it's potatahto."

"Mr. Cohen called CNBC and threatened that Mr. Trump would sue over his poor standing in the ranking, arguing that the news channel was "ignoring the will of the people," the people familiar with the matter said. CNBC didn't respond to the threat, and Mr. Trump didn't sue."

What is with The Dotard's obsession with the will of the people which he totally disregards?

The tragic aspect to this whole farce is that this incomprehensibly insecure and dishonest charlatan is now our president. So like, it worked.

Yes, and it also helps to have groups like ALEC write legislation for you that you can then hand to the member of Congress, Senator, or Governor you rented.
