> [@Stratocaster](#): > > You are correct. I’ve known a couple of people who tried to mask their stench with cologne, and that made it worse somehow. If I understand the reports correctly it would seem that tanTrump tries to mask his stench with farts, after cologne did not work. That may be related to what he would like to sell as his [meteoric](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympany) rise. That [meteors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid#Meteors) usually _fall_ and that meteoric is not the same as [meteorism](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28613601/) are just details he does not care about. Too complex anyway, fake facts! ---

Maybe Trump should use Lume deodorant. I cannot speak to his underboob, but I’m sure that he could use it in other places. ---

Sucks to be them. Semi-serious question (not specifically for @Gyrate): Will overseas assets such as Turnberry be impacted when NY state shuts down the Trump Org? If so, I’m not surprised the Trumps are bleeding it dry as fast as they can. ---

Remember the Trump-Clinton debates where Trump would stand behind Hillary and try to act all intimidating while she was talking? I would have loved for her to stop in mid-sentence and say “Oh God, what is that _smell_?” every time he did that. I’ll bet he would have stayed on his own side of the stage after a couple rounds of that. ---

Legal Eagle had placed Tacopina at B Tier which meant he was one of Trump’s more competent lawyers. More work for the F Tier ---

Its been a while since I watched that video so I may be wrong, but as I recall, there weren’t any lawyers in the A tier. ---

No, there were no “S” tier lawyers (which is the highest rank going by video game tier rankings that Devin borrows from; though sometimes there is “S” and “SS”, don’t ask). There were a couple of “A” tier lawyers. Here is the video again for anyone who didn’t see it before: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Lhy5Y8xVHS0/maxresdefault.jpg "Ranking Trump's Terrible Lawyers") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhy5Y8xVHS0) The A tier lawyers were Todd Blanche, Susan Necheles, Chris Kise, and Steve Sadow. ---

Trump goes through lawyers almost as fast as he goes through adult diapers, and they all end up the same way. Tossed aside and covered in shit. ---

There’s “Please have a seat” as in “Please join the class”, and then there’s “Please have a seat” as in “Sit down and shut up because you’re not qualified to speak in this court”. Not sure whether this counts as schadenfreude or just general stupidity, but the fiancée of Jake Lang, long-imprisoned-but-not-yet-tried J6er, is posting on his Xwitter account on his behalf and in his voice, whining about how persecuted he is for being jailed for assaulting police. [The latest effort starts out](https://twitter.com/JakeLangJ6/status/1747357328171471300?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet): > [@](#): > > On January 16th, 2021 I was limping home from Church in Newburgh NY at around 11am.
