On the weekend I kept a fart (or many probably), well-contained on a flight to Indonesia from Aus. It was extremely uncomfortable and made me nauseous in the end, but by golly, THIS lady doesn’t toot in public, especially a confined space like a plane. What the fuck is wrong with HIM?? ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > I do wonder how long it took him to perfect a suitably aggressive signature. TBF (although why I would want to be fair to him I don’t know), my dad’s signature looked a lot like that. Although in his case, his name had lots of tall letters (William, and our last name has 6 more. In his case, he was lazy and able to scrawl it out on documents in basically no time at all (which also made it extremely easy for my oldest brother, William Jr, to mimic it for various permission slips, etc (is it forgery if he didn’t use ‘Junior’?)). ---

If I didn’t know it was his signature, I would read it as something like “DummyMummy” or similar. ---

Trump is probably telling them something like because they haven’t won this case by now he doesn’t owe them anything. That would be my first guess based on historical trends, followed by Trump demanding they NOT comply fully with discovery, IE sharing shit they have that might work against his interests. Because, in his twisted POV, that’s unfair and giving an advantage to his enemies. 🙄 ---

I didn’t even know about that particular case. It’s _so_ hard to keep track of them all. Also, it’s nice to see Priebus and Spicer are also amongst the many in Trump’s circle facing court cases (civil in this instance, but still). ---

I have a lawyer friend who says in criminal defense get the money up front. If you lose, they are disinclined from paying you at all, and, if you win, they claim their case was so easy that any monkey could have won it. That goes double for clients who are known deadbeats. ---
