> [@Spoons](#): > > I’d love for Barron to respond, “Screw you, Dad, I’m going to NYU for Art History.” For a person who has been pampered and rich all his young life, that might be a hard road. I suppose it depends on how much his mother is willing and able to support him with money of her own, but even that won’t last forever. ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > I know it’s off topic but how was it? Was it on Netflix? It was on MSNBC; it was produced by Rachel Maddow. It was interesting: Parnas is clearly a life-long hustler, who got in way over his head with Trump and company. It certainly appears that Parnas was heavily involved in a lot of the things that Trump and Giuliani were doing, particularly related to Ukraine, and he then got thrown under the bus when investigators started poking around. ---

What, the University of Spoiled Children? The state school is the Universal College of Lowered Aspirations. Guess which one shows up on _my_ transcripts. ---

> [@kenobi\_65](#): > > It was interesting: Parnas is clearly a life-long hustler, who got in way over his head with Trump and company. I watched it, too, and I’m not sure I’m convinced that his change of heart is not just another grift. Meeting with Hunter was a little bit too on the nose. But then modern times have made me awfully cynical. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > Barron is a name you give a fucking dog. Done-Old used the alias “John Barron” when masquerading as his own publicist going back to the 70s. It’s both really weird and oddly fitting that he named one of his children after one of his original lies. ---

From your link: > “ATTENTION GEORGIA: I’m humbling asking you to stop what you’re doing and check your voter registration status”. What does that even mean, _ **humbling asking** _? [Adverb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverb), [gerund](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerund), who cares? Very few people know such things existed, much less the difference between them!
