Mind you, I’m terrified of what he’ll be doing next year. And I’m afraid of what shape he may leave it country in. But i didn’t think Trump, himself, is going to be doing a lot of anything in 4 years.

I hear that a lot - pls explain how this can be a thing…

If you rent any venue (for a congress, wedding, cultural show, etc…) you have to pay upfront and in full weeks ahead or you won’t have a venue … let alone for a person with a reputation as shady as weird uncle donald

a headscratcher for me …

If he was to be doing time, he would go from “healthiest president in history” to Harvey Weinstein (?) sick and limping on crutches w/in 12 hours.

Simple: you agree to pay later. And then you don’t pay.

I know he’ll never do it but I love the idea of Trump running to some other country and then continuing to talk shit like he does in the US. Go to Venezuela and tell them about your 1st Amendment rights Trump. I dare you. I double dare you.

Isn’t Venezuela the shithole socialist country that the GOP says we’ll turn into if we do such horrible things as universal healthcare and mandated maternity/paternity leaves?

Yes, but on the other hand, they have no crime because they closed all the prisons after the government ordered the great Hannibal Lecter (deceased) to move to America.

I imagine they sign a contract with a bill being sent after the event. Then the bill is ignored.

Yes, she is. I mentioned it in a different post (not mentioning her by name), and she said that’s a lie. So I posted a screenshot. 😅
