In all fairness, if a guy who'd chased me off with a shotgun twice suddenly asked me out, my first thought would be that he was planning to kidnap me, so sudden overwhelming panic seems pretty appropriate.
Exactly what I was thinking! And then he next asks her to go to a graveyard with him while he's carrying a shovel... And probably still carrying the shotgun too.
I think Trump not sexually harrassing or making advance on the heroin when she meets him might be the most unrealistic thing in this already bizarre book.
"First meeting, chases her of with a shotgun, second meeting chases her off with a shotgun. Third meeting he's in love" Well.....talk about a Shotgun Wedding
Every plot point in this book sounds more bizarre than the last, but the part where Donald Trump gave her relationship advice f.king broke me. Main Character Lady sounded more in love with him than with her actual love interest.
I actually expected Melania to appear during the Trump conversation to talk about how wonderful their relationship is...I guess Liberty decided that would be too far out of the realm of possible.
Fun fact: Trump didn't write The Art of the Deal. At least, that's what his co-writer and publisher claim. I couldn't say one way or the other, but it would be a surprise, of all the celebrities who actually wrote their own books, if Trump was one of them.
It's a ghostwriter book akin to Mein Kampf. And yes, I intentionally made that comparison considering both books are full of disgusting, immoral diatribes that could only be based on someone disconnected from logic, empathy, and relatability.
It was written by Tony Schwartz. He has since publicly denounced the book, saying that it's full of crap, and expressed remorse for his part in creating the fictional Trump myth. Not 100% sure, but I think he also said that Trump contributed almost nothing to the book.
I'm from Oklahoma, and I actually DO know a guy named Justice. I always feel awkward talking about him. "Justice is on the way. Can you text Justice? Justice is almost here." I'd be very surprised if he was MAGA, though.

He might be able to read, but we have A LOT of evidence he chooses not to. He famously never read any of his briefs, daily, security, or otherwise, and he never paid attention during meetings when he wasn't talking. He's a buffoon. Doesn't mean he isn't extremely dangerous, but the man is a damn idiot.
This book's premise sounds like it should be a horror novel, not a romance. Like tell me that "Hey, let's go on a date where we burry my mom's ashes that I've been keeping all this time." doesn't sound like something Norman Bates would do! I also love how Liberty felt the need to tell us about her male leads shady family history for literally no reason, like his ancestors stealing the land never comes up despite sounding like it would be an important plot point. Especially weird since we are supposed to see him as a good guy.
I genuinely think she didn't think she was saying a bad thing about the character with that. The vibe I got is full on "He stole it fair and square and now these fucks are profitting off HIS land even though they, like, totally murdered the guy who did it so really, they should shut up already." I mean, shoot me if that doesn't perfectly fit the exact bullshit they like to blather on about regarding the lands stolen from native Americans. It's all "Get over it already, yeesh" and "What? Not like I ever did anything."

The idea that she can't really think of what people actually value in a house fire and thinks of _marriage licenses_ and _baptismal certificates_ of all things. What about beloved toys? Paintings? Mementos of dead loved ones kept in a jewellery box. Baby shoes and teeth, a child's first drawing. Those certificates can be easily replaced because there are _records._ I can see how a bible might be an heirloom, but as much as people value silverware I doubt it's what they reach for.
The minute Dom started talking about the "mentor figure", I knew what was coming and literally backed away from my computer, like "Oh please god don't subject me to this."
Wait... the main character gets love advice from a guy who cheated on all his previous wives??? That's like trying to get advice how to be sober from an alcoholic.

As she explicitly says "silver", I'm guessing she meant silverware, but silver as itself has an incredibly high melting point, and while certainly not the highly on the periodic table, its heat resistance makes it perfect for mechanical and electrical uses in those industries. So unless this fire reached almost 1000 degrees C, the silver would have been mostly unscathed.
House fires can reach unintuitively high temperatures, since they're basically an improvised forge. It's not implausible for it to melt silver, but definitely not a sure thing. And even in the worst outlier situation, you'd still have some blobs of valuable silver.

you summoned it- "Hi my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that's how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don't know who she is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I'm also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I'm in the seventh year (I'm seventeen). I'm a goth (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow"
It would be more realistic for Trump to end his mentorship saying: "people fall in love? I know, because they all fall in love with me. I am the most falled in love person on the planet. Just look at the millions of people that came to my inauguration. They love me. It's a fact."
You know, knowing these books exist makes me feel sooooooo much better as a writer. If this... I hesitate to call it drivel but if this waste of paper got published I know anything I write can as well.
It will be self published. If you are willing to write to market and do some research its a valid field to make a living in. I mean, I'm sure Maga Romance is a viable niche and a non terrible could be written with this premise... ...but also romance is a hell genre where none of those words were in the bible. Even the Christian Romance ones.
I would argue Liberty is better in the same way the author of Twilight was better. She is REALLY REALLY bad but to be fair she didn't write actual crimes as something completely okay in the REAL world and then go well yeah he's just kinky
This is disturbing on so many levels I don’t know where to begin…. There are literally women out there jilling off to thoughts of this disease inside of them and wanting to have his babies, and it’s just so goddamned distressing because they will gladly vote for him to take away human rights.
@@jennifer7685 Well, yeah, that’s a given. The astonishment is that there are any at all. I just…I can’t understand the appeal of that piece of shit and don’t think I could be civil in his presence, yet there are women out there who adore the fuck out of him and fantasize about him. I just can’t understand it at all.
Right? It is ridiculous and incredulity inducing until I remember the readers and author will be voting and that these insane thoughts and fantasies are evidence of very real world problems.
Man, you're one of the few youtubers, who put out such frequent content, that over the years has not only avoided a decrease in quality but you get better and better. You've been going from strength to strength, and you should be very proud
MAGA Romance Novels. The existence of such a reading is so absurd that it must be real. Truly a time to be alive, innit. PS: I really, really need this shirt.
ah, yes, nothing says "romance" like a meet cute with a shotgun, a meet cute with a shotgun, and then a date proposal being met with a woman showing a fear response and driving away as fast as possible.
Dominic, I have enjoyed your videos for years. NOTHING could have prepared me for your Trump voice. I'm trying to imagine how Discworld characters would react to this. Mary Beth: "What should I do?" Death: "GET A CAT. CATS ARE NICE."
I feel a need to offer comfort to Dom. A series of Sir Terry's pseudonymous works was just republished as a single book, "A Stroke of the Pen". It's really lovely, we had a good look through it at work. You need a palate cleanser after this shit.
More dialogue in a Genndy Tartakovsky animation is simultaneously a great way of emphasising the lack of dialogue and simultaneously feeling like an insult to Genndy.
I know this is the clown timeline when I have family members who say they would vote for Trump and make disgusted noises whenever Biden shows up on tv. They have tried to "make understand" as well.
The fact that books like this exist makes me want to finally sit down and finish one of the several I started but abandoned due to feeling like a complete imposter compared to other established authors.
I had a first date once where part-way through the guy got a call about his grandma about to be taken off of life-support. Being the nice guy I am I accompanied him to the hospital and stayed with him for a while. Not only was he there and his grandma was there, his ENTIRE extended family was there. Parents, aunts/uncles, cousins, etc. It was... pretty awkward.
That Disney remark is extra funny since I know their 1973 (MY GOD it's fifty years old now) adaptation of Robin Hood acknowledged said trope. And that starred a cast of anthropomorphic animals.
Ms Liberty makes Mills and Boon or its American equivalent Harlequin seem to be well crafted prose with a deep understanding of both physical attraction and how romance develops between people. Crikey.
It’s been a while (couple decades at least) since I had subscriptions to Helequin/Silhoutte books, but this makes them look like the finest literature. While the stories were repetitious, the actual writing itself was typically not that bad. That’s why I was so confused by Twilight as it didn’t even meet that introductory standard of writing.
Has anyone here ever heard of Trump the board game? it came out in the early 90s/late 80s and is a great glimpse into the inner workings of the man's mind. Money comes from nowhere, everyone is out for something, and your goal is to crush everyone else into the ground, through "deals." Oh, yes, and the game's catchphrase is: "it's not whether you win or lose, but whether you win!"
These reviews of these books feel like a glimpse into another universe sometimes, with entirely alien concepts of human interaction and thought process.
I think the only thing that'd make the bizarre first day weirder, would be if the mother has mummified instead. Or if she had to go and fill the dead mother's death certificate before they could bury her
This passage also made me think of Psycho, which is funny because Norman Bates is more charming in the first part of this movie than Justice Journey is in the whole book here.
another fun fact: according to podcast No Such Thing As A Fish (can't remember which episode), Trump negotiated a really really bad deal for himself when engaging a ghostwriter for... The Art of the Deal
This book definitely sounds like Liberty wanted a foe to lovers story but the pacing just doesn’t make it work at all and lacks the moments that makes those kinds of stories work. Also mildly creepy to go to someone’s office to ask them on a date when the last time you ask she froze in fear and hightailed it out of their. I can think of creepier things to do on a first date but they involve things like going to Holocaust museums and similar places. The Trump stuff did surprise me but considering the series it does make sense for him to appear in the final one. I enjoyed your look at these books and am curious if you are going to cover a new romance genre or because the strikes are over you can return to Lost in Adaptation.
Honestly, burying your mothers ashes on a first date sounds like a very funny idea that would make for a hilarious if melancholic and awkward scene in a better book
Speaking of weird books based on political figures, you should maybe do a video of the Biden Mysteries book series. I haven't read a single one, but I came across one at Barnes & Noble. The cover had Biden on a rope tied to a helicopter piloted by Barack Obama. Not kidding.
@@shinyagumon7015 Huh? It's clearly anti-biden or a typical conspiratorial anti-government loon who can't ever speak to the fact that republicans exist within the government and will only ever whine about liberals and blame them for all the countries problems
I can only imagine the absolute field day you could have with analysing the act of 'burying ones mother' as the opening move to a new relationship with a girl you like xDDDD she's been hanging out on the mantelpiece for years, but there's a new mummy for justice in town xDD
What's funny about the fact that Liberty being a man is that the scene with the dead mother feels like a thing that he would have tried on his first date too, just this time it went better lol
As someone who has been an election volunteer, the idea of getting signatures from 100% of registered members of a party in a district is absurd. Even if you’re trying to get signatures from a smaller group (I was once part of a campaign getting voters whose absentee ballots were rejected to fill out ballot cure forms) you will absolutely not get everyone.
I have seen this sort of writing with novice fan fiction authors. Having character relationships spring out of nowhere normally comes about because the author spent weeks to months thinking about interactions between these characters specifically with the end goal of them being together and then forgot that none of the thousands of day dreamed interactions from their head ever made it to the page.
If you were thinking of reading another absolutely bonkers short story, but fancied something by a more famous author, would you consider "The Adventure of the Creeping Man" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? I saw your video on A Study In Scarlet, and honestly, it's one of the more normal Sherlock Holmes adventures
on the other hand: 'If you can't pay the guy to leave the house you want, just move in while he's still there. Make it their problem' sounds like a drumpf-tactic
I did a dramatic reading of all of these books, and needed a plastic Godzilla toy to help me by the end. I feel your pain. You did miss where she said she lives. That one corner where 4 states all come together. I can't remember but it's like Utah, Colorado, NM and whatever. There's a plaque.
I don't know if this counts as a weirder first date, but it's certainly equally weird. In the movie "Old Fashioned," the love interest takes the protagonist to church, where a pastor questions them about their compatibility, and then the love interest makes her take care of a friend's baby to prove that she would be a good mother? Or something? Very weird.
"People fall in love. We love love, don't we folks? Everybody tells me 'you know, I didn't fall in love before you told me it was possible, but then you said it was possible, and I did. I fell in love.' Most people don't know this, but love is one of the primary motivators of getting married, isn't that terrific? Most people don't know that, but *I* knew that, I knew it 3 times at least, and it worked out great every time..."
I would argue we shouldn’t because we like him but considering some of the books the community has asked him to do the Art of the Deal may not even be the worst one.
The idea that Trump would advocate a committed romantic relationship over buying someone's land to build a golf course is nonsense to a Star-Trek-Mirror-Dimension degree.

I think Trump not sexually harrassing or making advance on the heroin when she meets him might be the most unrealistic thing in this already bizarre book.
it’s because the author thinks she’d be immune to it happening
Also, talking about someone else without instantly turning it back around to himself.
“Well look, if he’s not interested… I mean, I’m sure I have more money than him” (fake laughs)

I'm not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I'm also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I'm in the seventh year (I'm seventeen). I'm a goth (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow"

@RuinedSilver I really don't care; can I just get my latte please?
It would be more realistic for Trump to end his mentorship saying: "people fall in love? I know, because they all fall in love with me. I am the most falled in love person on the planet. Just look at the millions of people that came to my inauguration. They love me. It's a fact."
I kind of want to rewrite the Trump sections with authentic Trumpian syntax just as a writing exercise
I hate how accurate that that was that I read it in his stupid voice.
You know, knowing these books exist makes me feel sooooooo much better as a writer. If this... I hesitate to call it drivel but if this waste of paper got published I know anything I write can as well.
It will be self published.
If you are willing to write to market and do some research its a valid field to make a living in. I mean, I'm sure Maga Romance is a viable niche and a non terrible could be written with this premise...
...but also romance is a hell genre where none of those words were in the bible. Even the Christian Romance ones.
Good to get the final installment in the book trilogy that would make even E.L James say what the actual fuck is this.
I would argue Liberty is better in the same way the author of Twilight was better. She is REALLY REALLY bad but to be fair she didn't write actual crimes as something completely okay in the REAL world and then go well yeah he's just kinky
True.
Ms 'I want to be Chris not Annie'? Same one?
This is disturbing on so many levels I don’t know where to begin…. There are literally women out there jilling off to thoughts of this disease inside of them and wanting to have his babies, and it’s just so goddamned distressing because they will gladly vote for him to take away human rights.
I speak for all women when I say “not all women!”
@@jennifer7685 Well, yeah, that’s a given. The astonishment is that there are any at all. I just…I can’t understand the appeal of that piece of shit and don’t think I could be civil in his presence, yet there are women out there who adore the fuck out of him and fantasize about him. I just can’t understand it at all.
Right? It is ridiculous and incredulity inducing until I remember the readers and author will be voting and that these insane thoughts and fantasies are evidence of very real world problems.
Yes, but not like...their rights. Because the leopard won't eat THEIR faces, just the faces of those who deserve it. /s
@@MsAnubisia proud member of the leopards eating faces party!
Man, you're one of the few youtubers, who put out such frequent content, that over the years has not only avoided a decrease in quality but you get better and better. You've been going from strength to strength, and you should be very proud
Gets better and better by sneaking political videos?))
I love how your impression of the Terrible Tangerine sounds absolutely nothing like him, but captures _all_ his vibes
3:58 k, how about passports, birth certificates, and insurance paperwork Liberty? I'm pretty sure those are considerably more pressing.
Dom. You're good. Beautiful. Doing great.
The story: 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Let’s be real, with a real or pen name like Liberty, it’s honestly weirder that it took her 3 books to write an mc with a concept for a name. 😂
MAGA Romance Novels. The existence of such a reading is so absurd that it must be real. Truly a time to be alive, innit.
PS: I really, really need this shirt.
The good news is that the novels are self-published and a majority of the reviews on Amazon are bad.
We live in stupid-world.
What's next in the MAGA-hat romance series? A romance following two members of the Q-Anon movement? 😂 Probably shouldn't give them any ideas, I guess.
My favorite part of this trilogy is the way Dominic says "Llllllllibbatee Adams"
You have my profound sympathies for having endured that drivel.
Why is this a series of romance books? What twisted publisher allows that?
I'm pretty sure it's self published
To answer your question, Liberty Adams, seeing as she's self published. So yeah, not that far off on the twisted publisher thing.
Thank you for your sacrifice in order to entertain us! We appreciate your contribution 😂
Nothing is more entertaining than Dom's suffering, lol
ah, yes, nothing says "romance" like a meet cute with a shotgun, a meet cute with a shotgun, and then a date proposal being met with a woman showing a fear response and driving away as fast as possible.
Dominic, I have enjoyed your videos for years. NOTHING could have prepared me for your Trump voice.
I'm trying to imagine how Discworld characters would react to this.
Mary Beth: "What should I do?"
Death: "GET A CAT. CATS ARE NICE."
To be fair, having to constantly clench a shotgun to avoid showing fear in front of a woman is a pretty accurate description of a red hat MAGA.
I just want the love interest to speak like Light Yagami "I AM JUSTICE"
The Trump impression... That was an assassination attempt on my life!!! 😂🤣😂
Oh this comment aged SO well XD
I feel a need to offer comfort to Dom. A series of Sir Terry's pseudonymous works was just republished as a single book, "A Stroke of the Pen". It's really lovely, we had a good look through it at work. You need a palate cleanser after this shit.
9:17 well considering he was the one chasing her with a shotgun, I'd say that's a reasonable reaction to getting asked out
More dialogue in a Genndy Tartakovsky animation is simultaneously a great way of emphasising the lack of dialogue and simultaneously feeling like an insult to Genndy.
I know this is the clown timeline when I have family members who say they would vote for Trump and make disgusted noises whenever Biden shows up on tv. They have tried to "make understand" as well.
it may be spooky season, but that title put some very real fear in me
The fact that books like this exist makes me want to finally sit down and finish one of the several I started but abandoned due to feeling like a complete imposter compared to other established authors.
You can do it! National Novel Writing Month (November) is just around the corner.
I had a first date once where part-way through the guy got a call about his grandma about to be taken off of life-support. Being the nice guy I am I accompanied him to the hospital and stayed with him for a while. Not only was he there and his grandma was there, his ENTIRE extended family was there. Parents, aunts/uncles, cousins, etc. It was... pretty awkward.
Well I’m sure he appreciated the emotional support at least.
"The guy needs to be clutching a gun at all times to feel safe from a real estate agent."
I mean, honestly, same, that is completely relatable.
"Spend it wisely, you red hat-worshiping nutjob" 😂 I nearly spat out my tea
That Disney remark is extra funny since I know their 1973 (MY GOD it's fifty years old now) adaptation of Robin Hood acknowledged said trope. And that starred a cast of anthropomorphic animals.
I almost always fight back vomit when someone really uses the phrase "leader of the free world".
Sir Terry doesn't have to be a great actor to find success in Hollywood; he has a great name, which will open doors for him! 🤣🤣🤣
There is no “trumpet foundation.” Because he can’t keep from stealing from it.
I watched the D&D movie just last night, and the adorable face of Justice Smith kept popping into my mind for reasons.
Ms Liberty makes Mills and Boon or its American equivalent Harlequin seem to be well crafted prose with a deep understanding of both physical attraction and how romance develops between people. Crikey.
It’s been a while (couple decades at least) since I had subscriptions to Helequin/Silhoutte books, but this makes them look like the finest literature. While the stories were repetitious, the actual writing itself was typically not that bad. That’s why I was so confused by Twilight as it didn’t even meet that introductory standard of writing.
Seven Maga Brides for Seven Maga Brothers? Did I just give Liberty a new book series? Oh dear!
Has anyone here ever heard of Trump the board game? it came out in the early 90s/late 80s and is a great glimpse into the inner workings of the man's mind. Money comes from nowhere, everyone is out for something, and your goal is to crush everyone else into the ground, through "deals." Oh, yes, and the game's catchphrase is: "it's not whether you win or lose, but whether you win!"
From another CA survivor, Chad Rocco, yes.
These reviews of these books feel like a glimpse into another universe sometimes, with entirely alien concepts of human interaction and thought process.
I think the only thing that'd make the bizarre first day weirder, would be if the mother has mummified instead.
Or if she had to go and fill the dead mother's death certificate before they could bury her
This passage also made me think of Psycho, which is funny because Norman Bates is more charming in the first part of this movie than Justice Journey is in the whole book here.
another fun fact: according to podcast No Such Thing As A Fish (can't remember which episode), Trump negotiated a really really bad deal for himself when engaging a ghostwriter for... The Art of the Deal
This book definitely sounds like Liberty wanted a foe to lovers story but the pacing just doesn’t make it work at all and lacks the moments that makes those kinds of stories work. Also mildly creepy to go to someone’s office to ask them on a date when the last time you ask she froze in fear and hightailed it out of their.
I can think of creepier things to do on a first date but they involve things like going to Holocaust museums and similar places. The Trump stuff did surprise me but considering the series it does make sense for him to appear in the final one.
I enjoyed your look at these books and am curious if you are going to cover a new romance genre or because the strikes are over you can return to Lost in Adaptation.
Honestly, burying your mothers ashes on a first date sounds like a very funny idea that would make for a hilarious if melancholic and awkward scene in a better book
It would make a good scene in a sitcom.
How dare you say Sir Terry's not a good actor; I wept openly at his performance as Meowcutieo in Romeow and Juliet
have to say she didn't forget those religious items - this flavor of "Christian" doesn't believe Catholics are
True.
Thank you Mr. Noble. It sounds like you're the only person who's read Liberty's books... including the author.
Speaking of weird books based on political figures, you should maybe do a video of the Biden Mysteries book series. I haven't read a single one, but I came across one at Barnes & Noble. The cover had Biden on a rope tied to a helicopter piloted by Barack Obama. Not kidding.
I can't even tell if that's supposted to be Pro- or Anti-Biden.
@@shinyagumon7015 Me neither, man XD
@@shinyagumon7015 Huh? It's clearly anti-biden or a typical conspiratorial anti-government loon who can't ever speak to the fact that republicans exist within the government and will only ever whine about liberals and blame them for all the countries problems
This reminds me of that series about Queen Elizabeth solving crimes. Yes really. To be fair though the book's decently written.
Trump giving relationship advice? I can't even process that.
Imagine seeing a burned down house and your first concern is "what about their marriage certificate?!"
I can only imagine the absolute field day you could have with analysing the act of 'burying ones mother' as the opening move to a new relationship with a girl you like xDDDD she's been hanging out on the mantelpiece for years, but there's a new mummy for justice in town xDD
What's funny about the fact that Liberty being a man is that the scene with the dead mother feels like a thing that he would have tried on his first date too, just this time it went better lol
As someone who has been an election volunteer, the idea of getting signatures from 100% of registered members of a party in a district is absurd. Even if you’re trying to get signatures from a smaller group (I was once part of a campaign getting voters whose absentee ballots were rejected to fill out ballot cure forms) you will absolutely not get everyone.
OK, I'll let this play out to satisfy the algorithm but I'm muting the computer. My deepest sympathies and respect, Dom
I have seen this sort of writing with novice fan fiction authors. Having character relationships spring out of nowhere normally comes about because the author spent weeks to months thinking about interactions between these characters specifically with the end goal of them being together and then forgot that none of the thousands of day dreamed interactions from their head ever made it to the page.
If you were thinking of reading another absolutely bonkers short story, but fancied something by a more famous author, would you consider "The Adventure of the Creeping Man" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? I saw your video on A Study In Scarlet, and honestly, it's one of the more normal Sherlock Holmes adventures
As a Czech: The cherry on top of the bonkers-ness is how Doyle needed a name for a Czech character so he named him Dvorak. _A._ Dvorak.
on the other hand:
'If you can't pay the guy to leave the house you want, just move in while he's still there. Make it their problem' sounds like a drumpf-tactic
Ok, but a two person funeral as a first date is what I imagine Mortisher and Gomaz Addems had ( idk if I spelled them wrong…)
But more romatic I bet.
@@shinyagumon7015 naturally
Sir Terry could probably play The Amazing Maurice in a live action remake of that movie?
Thanks for enduring that torture. Please do an adaptation video on Layer Cake next.
"The president [Trump] sounded like a wise grandfather" caused me to descend into Lovecraftian madness.
Kinda feel bad for the author that their grandpa was so shitty that Trump was a step up.
I did a dramatic reading of all of these books, and needed a plastic Godzilla toy to help me by the end. I feel your pain. You did miss where she said she lives. That one corner where 4 states all come together. I can't remember but it's like Utah, Colorado, NM and whatever. There's a plaque.
I don't know if this counts as a weirder first date, but it's certainly equally weird. In the movie "Old Fashioned," the love interest takes the protagonist to church, where a pastor questions them about their compatibility, and then the love interest makes her take care of a friend's baby to prove that she would be a good mother? Or something? Very weird.
I used to think I wasn’t smart enough to write a book or share my ideas . I will now
"People fall in love. We love love, don't we folks? Everybody tells me 'you know, I didn't fall in love before you told me it was possible, but then you said it was possible, and I did. I fell in love.' Most people don't know this, but love is one of the primary motivators of getting married, isn't that terrific? Most people don't know that, but *I* knew that, I knew it 3 times at least, and it worked out great every time..."
Ok, but can we talk about how Justice is the demon inhabiting one of the characters in _Dragon Age 2?_
Well I guess dubbing three unconnected romance plots a trilogy suggests that the Liberty Adams books end here.
Lets make him review Art of the Deal!
I would argue we shouldn’t because we like him but considering some of the books the community has asked him to do the Art of the Deal may not even be the worst one.
The most realistic part of this story is that nobody in it sounds like they have a single functioning brain cell.
"fuck everyone in a more densely populated district" is EXACTLY what trumpists think.
Trump. Wise. Trump? Wise? I am sitting on a CHAIR that is wiser than Trump. After all, my chair knows not to admit to sexual assault on an open mic.
Nov 2024: Again, excellent vid- but you’re absolutely correct. Embarrassing… ugh
"Cringe" is the most understated way such insane fiction can be described.
I'm not even TWO WHOLE MINUTES into this video and this story has already broken me.
hIS NAME. IS *JUSTICE?!?!?!*
A title convention that is sadly not unique among romance books. I remember seeing one titled Tanner's Scheme. And yes, those were the leads' names
1:35 And Together We Can Be Justice.
just started and i heard it takes place in the TriState Area.
If Perry the Platypus shows up, he better be kicking some Magahat ass,
Funeral for a first date, is this a gothic romance?
The idea that Trump would advocate a committed romantic relationship over buying someone's land to build a golf course is nonsense to a Star-Trek-Mirror-Dimension degree.
Noooooooo!
Not my Mother’s name!!!!!
Don’t do this to me!
