A useful reminder that the corruption of the Trump Administration began on Day One, pervaded all corners of the Administration, and was eagerly abetted by some in corporate America – the Washington Post has an article (paywall) about how a company owned by Trump’s Secretary of Agriculture was able to purchase a property from Archer-Daniels-Midland for a fraction of its estimated value. Just weeks after Sonny Purdue was nominated, ADM sold a processing plant to his company for $250,000 – a plant that ADM had paid $5.5 million for six years earlier. None of this was disclosed in his confirmation hearing.
Tangent #2: it pisses me off how the RW media (Fox, specifically) has turned “woke” into an insult, ie; a chyron that said “General goes woke before Congress” (or words to that effect).
I like how they want me to believe that all that land, with all those improvements and buildings, is worth a little more than half what my 2000 sq. ft. home on .27 acres is worth.
Sure; that’s completely reasonable and believable.
Everything about Fox “News” pisses me off. They are a pox on our society – as well as, sadly, a reflection of it.
They figured out that hate and fear sells very well. LOTS of customers.
Yes, they’re basically predators.
Bastard. He could be using good ol’ American-grown Pima cotton instead of that furrin stuff. Developed by the Goodyear Co. for use in tire cords a hundred years ago, like Egyptian cotton it is long staple and gives a similar luxurious feel to sheets and clothing. As the link below mentions, not all cotton from Egypt is Egyptian cotton in the usual sense – the long staple variety.

Not only could he be using American textiles; and not only could part of his deception be that he’s implying he’s using the long-staple cotton variety without outright saying so----but his geographical attempt-to-bamboozle, rather pointedly, gives only three boundaries.
“Between the Sahara Desert, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Nile River” could be anywhere from the Nile eastward (e.g. Libya, Tunisia, Algeria etc.). All would be north of the Sahara, south of the Mediterranean, and on-one-side of the Nile.
But there we have Mike Lindell. Why be honest when there’s an opportunity to be deceptive?
(my emphasis in the first quoted post)
I hope so. A few millions of us hope so, in all likelihood.
It’s been horrifying living in a world in which blatant dishonesty leads to no substantial negative consequences. The human sense of justice has been on life-support for too many years, now.

Yes, we have to hope there are analogous situations for Weisselberg, Calamari, et al.
Hmmm. If you won’t let a little ol’ ocean stop you, keep going west and you’ll start running into Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas, all cotton growing areas but it’s the ordinary short staple stuff.
Takes two years to develop shredded urethane foam filling for his pillows, has irrefutable proof that the election was stolen but declines to show it to T****'s crack team of lawyers – or anybody else, is a fan of oleandrin to cure COVID. I’m detecting a pattern here.
True, except for the northerly and southerly borders being wrong. Though there IS “Saharan dust” in the air as far as Florida for parts of the spring and summer, so maybe that one would slide.
But, yeah. Lindell is pretty consistently deplorable. You can count on the guy!
You’re saying he wouldn’t do a little noodge north or south as required? 
“Egyptian Cotton” is trademarked
I think we have our answer.
At what point in human history was justice better?
It’s Weisselberg:
What I find interesting is this:
Cohen’s assertions about other documentation aside, it sounds like Goldman is saying that that he knows that evidence of criminal activity exists but as long as everyone stays quiet Trump will skate. Not exactly a claim of innocence.
Pretty much any time you see the properties of an advertised product slyly alluded to, nudge nudge wink, rather than just straight out making a claim, they’re skirting an intellectual property issue. See here re the “Super Bowl” trademark.
His tweet about this letter now has a more established, and still terrible, ratio.
525 replies, 34 retweets (32 quote tweets) and 6 likes.
My reply has ten times the likes. No one is coming to this guy’s defense.
He is insufficiently loyal to Dear Leader Trump. I imagine he will now be tied to the front of the (metaphorical) cannon for the traditional farewell ceremony.
