A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 2)

Yup. If those gallows were ever to be used, it would be to hang some corpse in effigy. If certain people inside the Capitol had gotten ahold of Pelosi or Pence, they would have quickly killed an old and frail person through serious blunt force trauma (if not mace, a taser, or some bullet)

They have to take reservations; one does not simply walk-in to Mordor.

(I’ve sat on that joke for a few days, to see if someone else would make it)

Something toxic from the '50s?

DJT lawyers claim payment in Carroll case $5,000,000.

"We write to respectfully request that the Court so order the enclosed Stipulation and
Proposed Order Regarding the Use of a Cash Deposit in Court as Security in Lieu of a Supersedeas Bond. The cash deposit will be in the amount of$5,550,000, which is 111% of the judgment amount and is consistent with the traditional security percentage of supersedeas bonds. Additionally, my office is currently holding $5,550,000 in trust and will promptly make such deposit upon the entering of this Stipulation and Order.
We thank the Court for its consideration. "

Not sure what “supersedeas” means, but I looked up more about this. AIUI, the lawyers have simply provided to the court a bond of 111% of the judgment in order to satisfy the requirement (in New York) that they provide such a bond to proceed with the appeal.

ETA:

This was big news on Twitter yesterday - apparently it implies that Trump couldn’t find anyone to write/guarantee the bond (presumably because he has a long history of prompt payment of debts), so had to post his own cash.

On the other hand, I assume a bond has a fairly high interest rate - if you can raise the cash, that would seem like a more financially prudent choice.

Which tend not to earn Michelin stars.

Some places get different star ratings from different people. A nine from Men, a seven from dwarves… you know how it goes.

Elves have notoriously high standards

Insufferable pointy-eared bastards.

More lawsuits for DJT and Rudy.

Years? It took years?

"Georgia’s State Election Board eventually dismissed its investigation into supposed election fraud at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The investigation found that the claims were “unsubstantiated and found to have no merit.”

The findings are courtesy of the FBI, the Georgia Bureau of Investigations and investigators from the Secretary of State’s office."

And those are three reasons those innocent workers will be hounded by magats forever.

Magats. I am so going to use that term.

I don’t see why Orcs wouldn’t have restaurants or dining halls with some concept of menu. They have a society of sorts where some specialize in making stuff , brewing grog and being soldiers etc so I would think they have some places dedicated to making food for those that don’t have time to knock up a bonefish kedgeree after a difficult day turning the rack. I’d recommend a hard pass on the beef carpaccio.

No kidding. Give me Hobbit cuisine, every time.

I believe menu is a word in Dwarvish. Maybe these were very literate Orcs.

You better hope Arwen doesn’t read the Dope…

I’ve heard Barack was really born in Khazad.

Have you seen his very short-form birth certificate?

Only if it’s made of real Hobbits.
