@CalMeacham & @Buck_Godot, your posts made me very happy. I will have endless (eternal?) enjoyment imagining those punishments… 
“Hell’s own toilet”… what lyricism! 
In the absence of like, or LOL, or any other commentary emojis: the next best thing with Cal and Buck’s posts is to copy them and post them on Facebook. 
Band name!
Just out of curiosity, were there any journalists a few years ago who sat on revelations about the BUTTER EMAILS kerfluffle until they were ready to write a book?
Perish the thought. (Of course wait-for-the-book-deal Maggie Haberman and her New York Times front-paged the EMAIL SCANDAL!!1!!! endlessly and repetitively.)
It also only blooms once every 7-9 years. Whether this also fits the analogy is a question best left to his mistress’s/wives.
ETA: Just noticed that Drsunflower1’s post I that responded to was 4 months old. I must have accidentally clicked the middle of the scroll bar when reading the thread. Sorry for the zombie.
It’s only fitting, since zombies also smell like corpses.
“He’s nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging’s too good for him. Burning’s too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!”
Just in case the reference is too old for the youngsters…
(OK, really because it’s one of my favourite scenes and I wanted to share.)
Shouldn’t that be BUTTERY MAILS?
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, now Melania is selling tickets to an event to benefit a charity that doesn’t seem to exist.
The National Archives realized months ago that they were missing key documents from the Trump Administration. Trump’s team finally turned over the documents only after the Archives threatened to go to Congress and the DOJ if the documents weren’t turned over immediately.

According to the Archives, there are documents they want that are still in Trump’s possession. Also the House Oversight Committee is opening an investigation into Trump’s handling of Presidential records.
There, a long red carpet marked the pathway into a Christmas-decorated hangar filled with supporters of Mr. Trump who had paid $10,000 to $30,000 for the privilege of attending a party and taking a photo with him.
The event had all the trappings of a typical high-end fund-raiser: a giant American flag, a lectern, chandeliers and an open bar. Frank Stallone’s band provided the music; an anti-Biden “Let’s Go Brandon” banner hung from the rafters.
But the money raised did not go to Mr. Trump’s political operation. Instead, Mr. Trump’s share of the evening’s proceeds went straight into his pocket, according to a person familiar with the arrangement.
Multiple attendees said they bought their tickets from a private company, Whip Fundraising, whose founder, Brad Keltner, has asserted that “the lion’s share” went to charity. But the website advertising the event listed no charitable cause. And Mr. Keltner, reached by phone, declined to discuss how money was distributed.
…
My bold.
Why keep up any pretense? It seems to me the souvenir t-shirts and hats Donald is peddling ought to just come out and say, “Donald Trump screwed me and I loved it!” I’m sure he could sell a million of those.
“And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the wallet. You can do anything.”
I’ll see myself out.
This is not something to be pissed off about, but it is remarkable.
Complete headline: Trump’s longtime accountant says a decade of his financial statements are unreliable
Mazars USA, the longtime accounting firm for the Trump Organization, former President Donald Trump’s family business, ended its relationship with the company last week and called into question the trustworthiness of a decade’s worth of financial statements prepared for the Trump Organization.
…
To which I (and about a bazillion other people) say: “NO FUCKING JOKE!” 
…
Mazars’ move could have big consequences for both Trump’s financial future and the legal probes that he and his family’s business are now facing.
…
To which I (and everybody who has been paying attention) say: “Nothing will ever touch Teflon Don. There will never be any consequences, except possibly getting more buttheads on his bandwagon.”
“The Deep State is out to get him any way it can!”
“Any successful businessman is gonna have a bunch of questionable financial practices. You can always find one to get someone you don’t like!”
As seen on other boards.
I get a fair amount of spam from Trump supporting people(?) and usually just move them to the trash. I did open the most recent (yesterday) one. I thought it was a scam but it was signed by Junior and it does say “Official”. But its already the next day, so I missed out. Darn! I guess I’ll never realize the benefits of being an MVP Club member. Here it is:
Friend,
Your Trump MVP Club invitation is waiting.
My father asked why you haven’t accepted? He’s giving you one last chance.
**[Please contribute ANY AMOUNT by 11:59 PM TONIGHT and you’ll automatically become an Official 2022 Trump MVP. >>]
It does make me wonder: if Trump simply said, “this is a fundraiser whose proceeds would go to my personal use,” how much, if at all, would his haul be reduced?
Probably increased.
"I went to a Trump Charitable Event and all I got was a sore butt and an empty wallet!
However, this lousy t-shirt was worth it!
Dan
Hell, it would probably be tripled.
