Man, this makes me feel old.
Ha!
I’m intrigued by Oz lending $22m to his own campaign. One wonders if the campaign raised enough money to pay him back.
Magic 8 Ball says… not a chance in hell.
Something else to get Trump to hurl another ketchup bottle:
Maine Sen. Susan Collins questioned Scott’s management of the NRSC.
Is she concerned?
Stand back, everybody, if she is!
Too bad, Don.
I’m sure he’ll try to run out the clock somehow until the GOP takes over the House.
He can’t. The returns will be submitted by Mazars, his accounting firm, not by Trump himself. They’re unlikely to want to get themselves sideways with a SCOTUS ruling.
The Committee will probably have them before the day is out.
Well then that’s fucking awesome!
Yes, it’s definitely another bad day for Trump, filled with schadenfreude for us!
Besides the tax returns finally being released, Lindsey Graham had to testify to the Georgia grand jury today.
Also, arguments were heard by the Eleventh Circuit on DOJ’s motion to get rid of the unnecessary special master in the documents case. The 3 Republican-appointed judges hearing that case telegraphed their intent to grant DOJ’s motion very soon.

From the Rolling Stone article quoted:
"Pitching itself as a financial institution that allowed one to be “free to celebrate your love of God and country without fear of cancellation,” GloriFi’s marketing read more like a campaign ad than an enticing APR offer on a new credit card. Highlights from the “about us” page include: “OUR BILL OF RIGHTS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE” and “WE ARE ONE NATION UNDER GOD.”
In its short tenure GloriFi, managed to launch checking and savings accounts as well as credit cards, with plans to offer mortgages and insurance in a future that will no longer take place. Founder and CEO Toby Neugebauer pitched plans to offer gun owners discounts on home insurance, credit cards made of shell casing material, and assistance paying legal bills if customers shot someone in self-defense."
“GloriFi’s public web site is now just one page, filled with the salty tears of grievance and instructions for how its few customers can retrieve whatever funds they had in their accounts.”
From its home page:
Recently, With Purpose, Inc. d/b/a GloriFi, has experienced a series of financial challenges related to startup mistakes, reputation attacks, the declining economy, and multiple negative media stories.
A bank failed because of bad press. Right.
Yay!!! Triple-bad day for Trumpie – it probably calls for three ketchup bottles to be flung against the wall! 
Here’s the latest report on the special master business – not a done deal yet, but the appeals court doesn’t seem to be favourable either to Trump or to his pet judge, Loose Cannon:

In theory bad press could cause people to jump ship from a bank which would cause it to fail.
That’s not what happened here though. It’s very difficult to run a business when you focus everything on political messaging and forget what the business is supposed to be doing. If I opened a burger place called Red Meatz, with the “Make Angus Great Again” slogan, and offered people $10 microwaved frozen hamburgers (and then charged $1 per topping including ketchup and mustard), it’s going to fail. It doesn’t matter how much I try to attract the MAGA crowd and spend a fortune on advertising with right-wing talk radio, there will likely be people who cheer on my efforts “in spirit” but would never actually come to my restaurant and buy a sandwich.
I don’t imagine Trump pouring ketchup from a bottle. I imagine him reaching into his front pocket for a few McRonald’s packets.
But as to the upcoming ruling: If it doesn’t go his way, is this another thing that has to wait for a Supreme Court ruling in order to be truly decided?
I’m no expert, but I suspect that the orange master of delaying tactics will try that. I also suspect that the Supreme Court is likely getting tired of this bullshit.
Angus: “I’m still great.”
Sure. But the last time he tried it in this case, the SCOTUS turned it around within just a few days and issued a terse 34 (or was it 35?) word ruling denying his relief.
The grounds they are asserting for these appeals are so patently ridiculous, the SCOTUS is getting tired of Trump’s implication that they are just there to rubber stamp his wishes.
Correction. The returns in question are six years of returns that are already in the hands of the executive branch. They’ll be handed over by the IRS!
Oh, that’s even better!!! Thanks for correcting my misinformation!
(In my defense, Mazars is how I heard it reported today.)
