“Jacobson previously worked as a reporter for WMAQ-TV NBC 5. She was fired from that job in 2007 after a WBBM-TV CBS 2 news crew secretly filmed her clad in a bikini with her two children at the home of a man whose wife had been missing for more than two months.”  
I thought I recognized that name. That was a weird story.

Given the state of the republican party these days, are you sure you meant “coach”, not Mr. Vance’s “couch”?

Trump town hall in La Crosse - “And as you know, we have no taxes on a thing called tips. You know that?”

Well, Donnie, I know you don’t know what a tip is. A ‘thing’ called tips 🙄

Cheapskate moron.

All these assholes who mocked him and got called out over it keep saying, “I didn’t know he was autistic”. As though that matters.  
They’re saying, “Something is different about him. So it’s okay to pick on someone’s kid because they’re different.”

Yeah, I had recognized her name, as well. Living in Chicago at that time, I remember it being a bit of a scandal, and made it pretty clear that Jacobson is likely not a very nice person.

I had no idea that she was still in the area, and still active in local media, but I suppose it doesn’t surprise me that she works on a conservative radio station.

Seriously. He’s 17. How many self-righteous MAGAs objected when Barron Trump was even _mentioned_ by someone on the left?

Regarding her co-host and the vile excuse for a human being:

> Proft also was apparently ousted as a board member for Envision Unlimited, an organization that advocates for people with disabilities. His name no longer appears on the organization’s list of board members.

He was on the board of an organization that advocates for people with disabilities.

Yeah, Dan Proft is no good. He tries to come across sometimes in a Lincoln Project “No Really, I’m Not Evil” kind of way, but he don’t sell it well.

With 100% sincerity I would not be shocked to learn that Trump saw that Christmas special and it stuck in his mind that great people have to be on collectible cards. That seems like the kind of argument he’d understand.

Did it come with a stick of bubblegum? I didn’t notice that particular being addressed in that thread. Until it has been, it’s premature to declare that the claim has been refuted (I don’t insist that it be addressed _in that thread_, but I do insist that it be addressed).

After Rudy’s bankruptcy case was dismissed, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who won a large defamation lawsuit against him, are going after his assets.

I hope they get everything from that slimeball.
