I think they’re a gang of asshats, but I wouldn’t regard the title as a fail. If I start a channel called “Place kickers and punters in the NFL,” I assume viewers will understand it’s _about_ kickers and not _by_ kickers. ---

I watched almost all of that interview, and I think it’s great that the interviewer wore a mask. That had to be driving that maga nut up a wall the whole time. ---

Thanks. Understand now. Well understand what they are. An adgenda of hate, retribution and total misundertanding. Since their lives did not turn out the way they wanted, they have to blame somebody. Just for fun I asked ChatGPT to translate that into Yoda speak. - “Hate, retribution, and total misunderstanding, an agenda has. Turn out not the way they wanted, blame somebody, they must, since their lives have.” Not bad really. ---

More, since other people’s lives are not being run the way they want, they have to blame those other people for every real and imagined problem societies face. “You don't like the Goths?" “No! Not with the persecution we have to put up with!” “Persecution?” “Religious persecution. We won’t stand for it forever.” “I thought the Goths let everybody worship as they pleased.” "That’s just it!

Apparently Raichik brought the masks and Taylor Lorenz is immunocompromised (and brought her own) so I’ll give Raichik small points for courtesy.

He’ll plead guilty to a felony and not be required to cooperate with the prosecution of Trump. He’s going to jail for Trump. Trump must have promised these suckers something in the afterlife. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > He’ll plead guilty to a felony and not be required to cooperate with the prosecution of Trump. > He’s going to jail for Trump. That first part really confuses me (see [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-did-allen-weisselbergs-plea-deal-say-he-wont-testify-in-hush-money-trial/998446)) but the loyalty is just one of those things. Who’s to say what goes on in the heads of these scumbags? But Trump really has found the formula for finding the right kind of scumbags, and telling them the right things, so that show incredible loyalty to him, even though he has never shown a shred of loyalty to another human in his life. Weisselberg is not apparently a stupid person, he must surely know Trump is not going to return that loyalty (and a pardon is not an option for a state offense anyway), what is he thinking? ---

> [@aurora\_maire](#): > > what Trump can do _to_ him and his family I’m interested to see what kinds of things you have in mind here. I know we call them a crime family, but it seems to be all white-collar crime so far. What could the orange greasebag do to him that would be as bad or worse than sending him to prison? One of his evidence-free lawsuits, where he ends up being stuck with legal fees for both sides? ---

Condemn him in public. Then the magatflatearthers will start harassing him and his family, to include death threats. And all it takes is one to carry out such a threat.
