I was thinking of him not even having that amount of functioning. ---

Crap, these are times when I really wish I had some artistic skills, as now I have in my head an image of a fat, badly painted bronze/orange Dalek with a dead or badly injured rodent riding on top, screaming, “MAN! WOMAN! PERSON! CAMERA! TV!” ---

He’s got really big hands, you have to admire that. (Refering to the photo in your article) From the same article: > Parnas and associate David Correia are accused of leading people to invest over $2 million in their company, **Fraud Guarantee** , and then using some of the money for personal and political purposes. > Giuliani, who denies breaking the law, claims he worked for Fraud Guarantee for a salary of $500,000. (Bolding mine) Now _that_ is schadenfreude! ---

IIRC, the reason they called their company Fraud Guarantee was that they were looking to foil web searches for things like “Lev Parnas fraud “. ---

> [@lum\_s\_husband](#): > > If the CFSG dies or is totally incapacitated (by a stroke for example) his chances of election improve in 2024. Absolutely. And we can be sure that Donald’s VP pic, JFK Jr., won’t be bothered by Donald’s status, whether it be ‘deceased’ or ‘in a vegetative state.’ It’s all good in the world of deep fakes–it’s all doable. You have to make the Inauguration virtual, but that’s easily accomplished in a world used to pandemics. And who will _actually_ be wielding the power for which Veggie Don and Still-Dead JFK Jr. are the figureheads? You guessed it: Rupert Murdoch and his operator Vlad (who will have faked his own death to avoid trial at The Hague, but who will still own Murdoch via a combination of kompromat and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$). ---
