FBI storms Mar a Lago

[SloopJonB]

They are generating a lot of money, it's the entertainment business. As long as they pay their share in taxes then no harm done.

It's not a case of harm, it's about what is says about our societies priorities.

Hitting a ball with a stick is valued far higher than a neurosurgeon - just for example.

My BIL got a quote to install granite counters. He says, to the granite guy, "You charge more an hour that my lawyer does."

Granite guys replies, "Get your lawyer to install the counters."

Hmmm, maybe. I think you'd have to add up the $s spent on healthcare vs the $s spent on sports. I'd give the edge to healthcare.

For sure.

Can see an argument for giving better tax rates to companies that benefit society better, than to the ones that provide just (for in this example too) simply entertainment. Society needs more progressive policies.

The Kardashians don't even do that.

Yeah - make gazillions just by having your ass cheeks inflated like beach balls.

The evidence Cheeto says got planted by the FBI - did he magically declassify those items too? So confusing!

 

[Gouvernail]

Do you pay your starting employees/first year associates $135,000 per year? That's what the AmLaw 100 were paying 6 years ago. Smaller firms were nowhere near that, but then their hourly rates are somewhat smaller.

Anyone who is qualified?? Certainly !!

I suspect he'll get the same response we get here when we ask any of the elk for a cite to support their lies and bullshit.

A deafening silence.

No, no, no. A thousand times no.

This time, we are going to see the evidence.

Those 60+ lawsuits he lost because of no evidence?

Merely filed to build the tension. This is gonna be bigly big.

I will never get that. You shouldn't give then anymore exposure. The lot of 'em, just repulsive.

 

[Pertinacious Tom]

Exactly !!

You're missing the big difference.

People become lawyers to make money.

The boating industry exists only so that boaters can boat at wholesale cost. If you went into it to make money, that was a big mistake.

[Blue Crab]

Let's hope he did it as braggadocio rather than treason. He should be in prison either way.

 

[Mrleft8]

I would love to be a fly in Trumps office. The Grand Jury stuff is separate from the classified document investigation.

Don't forget that Rudy Renfield might visit....

I did not.
Occasionally, I like to remind people how we take care of the community with very little compensation

Gropenfuhrer hasn’t even been arrested. He hasn’t been interviewed as a “person of interest.”

So far, the only people being punished as re the self as busters who still read Pooch2 and trippv’s posts.

They will present an overview of evidence eventually that will be mind boggling. They will know which human assets were outed in the docs they have and the likely missing docs who have been eliminated around the world. Under the smoke screen of right wing nut job brainwashing was a kleptocracy that even high level GOP officials were unaware of. It was only ever about the money for this guy. He started selling influence and information the moment he got his first security briefing. Its still going on.

Yes, and it will bring out the subject of consequences for those actions that the right won't even consider. Too bad, I only have respect for the rule of law.
