Barbara Ewart's avatar

Between The Apprentice & Burnett's other triumph, Survivor, the overall message the shows send is that 'life is an elimination contest'. Pretty bleak outlook. Trump Is a zero-sum-game guy. His father held the same ideology. So far, it hasn't served him well. Becoming President was merely numbers. His are falling, rapidly. I think he knows that he's almost timed out, and the only path is to get as much as you can before it ends.

Don't forget, Trump.once said, 'It doesn't matter how things turn out, he won't be there. He's not invested in America longterm. He's out for number one.

Akin to the tower of paper on the table, with Morgan Lewis attorney Sheri A Dillon standing aside, purported to document the transfer of mismanagement of the Grump Organization from The Donald to his infant sons Juneyor and Ereek. No binder. Not an alligator clip in sight. Were these blank sheets of paper shredded to protect the guilty, or subsequently used by The Donald to make paper airplanes, in a WH bathroom, during the morning before reporting for ‘work’ in time for lunch?

Blank pages for a blank brain if, indeed, his calverium contains anything other than delusions, fantasies, pretensions, rabbit holes, ketchup, golf balls, cotton candy, sphagnum, lies, more lies, even more lies, even more, more lies, et libitum, ad nauseam.

Down there, it's printed on rubber in order to twist it around to one's needs.

Done for centuries upside here, too.

Sadly, Christians for years have done that and swear on the bible that what they are saying is biblical. Most of those people don't know one book from the other and most have never read it cover to cover.

Is it payable using Trump's worthless coins?

No kidding. Can you imagine people falling for that tripe. Limited Edition coin "layered" in pure silver or 24k gold. The advertised price is more than the gold or silver is worth by itself. Basically meaning the coins aren't worth the work put into them. Yet I'm sure the MAGAnuts fell for that crap and bought dozens of them.

A loss on those wildy expensive coins would be an appropriate (if not necessarily sufficient) punishment for those MAGAnuts deranged enough to buy them. That said, by comparison, coughing up $60 for an untouched, unread Trump Bible, even one containing an unread Constitution, is only a minor punishment.
