Hell, even give the prize to the busboy who cleaned up after the summit.
Now that you mention it, I do have a vague recollection of this. But I certainly wouldn’t have remembered it otherwise!
And seriously, how CAN anyone keep track of all this shit? Watergate was downright simple and straightforward compared to all this.
Wonder Woman’s lariat is accidently touching the two of them for a minute.
Navarro: I have to confess, I didn’t actually write the book, I paid other people to write it for me. I don’t actually know the first thing about China, or trade.
Kushner: No, that’s fine, I have to confess I didn’t read the book, I just liked the picture on the cover. I thought the book was about dragons. I like dragons!
Good news! Qatar is bailing outKushner’s worst real estate deal in the history of real estate deals. Why do we have rules about emoluments again?
No, dummy, LESS FILLING! :mad:
If course, I am a staunch never taster.
666 Fifth Avenue. Fucking brilliant. How hard is it to change an address? Sure, OK, maybe Orthodox Jews are not real familiar with Revelations (the Marvel Comics of Scripture), but “666”?
Seriously, my old joke of Trump being the Antichrist isn’t looking so funny anymore. :eek:
“But the building today only generates about half its annual mortgage payment, and 30 percent of the 41-story tower is vacant.”
Brilliant. Even at 100% occupancy, it wouldn’t make the mortgage payment. What geniuses put their money into that thing?
And who the fuck would bail them out unless there were ‘other considerations’?
To be fair (and I hate being fair to anyone associated with this admin), the 30% that is not filled could be the more premium and costly residences. Some of the current occupants could even have a discounted rate for buying early.
Entirely speculation on my part, and I would not be surprised, (and certainly not disappointed) to be wrong on that.
Spin, spin, spin: They’re not animals! They’re worse than animals!
So the normal response I’m getting back from people is “He was clearly talking about MS-13 members” That hold any water?
Only for those who believe Los Angeles* is a separate country. 
*That’s where MS-13 originated, about 30 years ago.
He was and it does, until you remember that he said they were arresting and deporting “thousands” of them. Now, I don’t have exact figures for the size of MS13, but I’m pretty sure there aren’t “thousands” of them in the US illegally such that they could perpetually be deporting thousands at a time, unless it’s just a couple of thousand and they keep coming back in, which questions the Trump administrations border policies and enforcement practices competence AND I still would doubt the accuracy of the count.
But Trump does have a history of referring to MS-13 as “animals”.
I’m repeating this across the Internets today. MS-13 is a gang of humans. To deny that is to distance ourselves from the history of human atrocities. It’s also a small step from there to hyperbolized generalization, which Trump has a penchant for.

Kushner backed the blockage of Qatar last year after they rebuffed his previous bailout pitch. Guess they learned their lesson.
Yes, and when I replied with something similar to you just wrote, the response was “yeah, but the media is pushing the narrative that Trump called innocent brown children “animals”” :rolleyes:
That’s the current administration. Extortion are us.
At best, he’s talking about potential MS-13 members. You know, brown immigrants who are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
We’re gonna need a bigger popcorn bowl…
