      45 isn't the root of GOP division; their fascist ideology is. Fascism always eats itself; it's just a question of how much collateral damage it does in the process.

And also and especially Moscow Mitch for changing the rules to pack the supreme court with the corrupt justices, with a big help from FBI director Wray. Rules and laws don't count for the GOP.

      I mean, Trump’s case is pretty solid on this one. Forbes estimated the value of his home as 300-700 million. It generates $25 million a year in revenue, and is an enormous piece of land in one of the most expensive parts of Florida. A home down the road from Trump’s, much smaller and much less nice, just sold for something like $40 million…
      So yes, a valuation of $18 million is a joke, and Trump didn’t claim a valuation of $1.5 billion in anything official, he only took a valuation of $739 million. Which should be relatively easy to prove, because a Forbes publication actually would work as solid proof that not just he valued that home at 700 million, but in fact popular opinion aligned with that statement. When you add in that the banks are not pressing charges for the loans they gave out, there’s no real way the judge’s case has any real chance.

    The in-house fighting between the Republicans is better than any VH1 reality show. They are going at each other’s throats and it’s making for great late night tv. Oh how I’ve missed this show and the others.

    Not sure if you're going to start corrections back up, but while IKEA furniture has names, the parts to make it do not. IKEA directions are famously devoid of words so they can be used in many countries without requiring translations.
