If so, what kind did you purchase, and what is your overall impression of it? Do you still love it, or do you wish you never bought it? What, if anything, don't you like about it?

Since he's probably still relying on his limbic cultists for paying his bills, and betting on being able to make all of this go away as President -- railing against his rape victim is probably calculated as a net positive to him. Of course! That much is almost certainly true! I still think he's stu...

I'd just like to point out that the best evidence Trump is stupid is Trump's whole life. But this here is a dead giveaway: “I just posted a $91 million bond on a fake story.

Even some Democrats are sometimes seduced by lucrative offers of wealthy donors and lobbyists to legislate in their favor and give them tax breaks they don't deserve. This does not make it right nor detract from the fact that too many wealthy and powerful...
