Stupid or just laundering money. Think Russian or Saudi/middle east. Wouldn’t be the first time one of them bought some Florida land for a hundred million over the value from a Trump business. Or rented a few floors of empty rooms at a Trump property.

Giuliani was so upset by Eminem kneeling that he suggested he move to another country. Eminem responded with an excellent diss track on Colbert:

That was entertaining, but the voice doing the singing was not the actual Eminem.

I would hope he laughed at it (and then said “Hey, why didn’t they call me? I’d’ve recorded that vocal for free!”)

I presume they got his permission to use his likeness and whatever vid they took him from. That said, it was the funniest thing I’ve seen all week.

It’s not over yet! He hasn’t appealed to Putin!

(Waddaya mean Putin doesn’t get to veto the Supreme Court? Donald takes his orders, surely the justices have to also…)

He still has a chance to prevail; if only Mike Pence will to the right thing!

And maybe that’s why they are trying to terminate the lease. They don’t want the lease sold to Russian interests.

Saw a big rig with ‘Trump won!’ on I-10 in San Antonio. Had no choice but to get in front of the truck, stick my arm up and out of the window, and give him the 1 finger salute for a half mile, making sure I didn’t get too close or too far.

Welcome to Texas, shithead.

I salute you. In fact, you can have this whole song…

(I clicked on the link above, and it seems to continue, after the pertinent song, through the rest of the record. Is it just me? Did I fuck up?)

If the “autoplay” option is ON, it does that, I think. It’s a setting you can control. But in my experience, the setting seems to not always stay set the way I set it. So from time to time I turn Autoplay off, and sooner or later it somehow gets itself turned back on again.
