To be having a sly dig, Eric would have to see the irony, which he wouldn't. Don't know whether Ivanka does that or not, but unlike her dad, she would at least be smart enough not to brag about it in public.
Some years ago I walked past one who had his sign upside down. When I pointed this out to him, he said "Yes, I know. I get more people to stop that way".
Being compassionate is laudable but if the law says Trump has to hand the gun in, I don’t see any need for compassion or leniency. The same would apply to any other person found guilty.
William (Bill) Anders, now aged 90, the Apollo 8 astronaut who took the famous ‘Earthrise’ photo in 1968, was killed when his T-34 crashed into the sea yesterday.
Six months under house arrest in his triplex apartment on top of Trump tower would be a good result. He’d have plenty of time to get out the tape measure and work out how big it is.
I posted about this previously somewhere on here. This guy has been rebuilding a derelict boat, "Tally Ho" that he bought for $1.
It's literally been rebuilt from the keel up, and for the last 7 years he has been posting regular progress videos to a huge audience that have been following the story.
The workmanship that has gone into it is truly amazing.
They finally launched it:
The New York Times did a detailed analysis of Trump's speeches and concluded that the strategy he uses to convince his followers that he is their savior is pretty formulaic and predictable. It boils down to:
· He grossly distorts his opponents’ records and proposals to make them sound unreasonable.
· He exaggerates and twists the facts to make his record sound better than it is.
· He relies on both well-worn and fresh claims of election rigging to suggest he can lose only if his opponents cheat.
· He has turned his criminal cases into a rallying cry, baselessly asserting that he is being persecuted by his successor.
· He makes unverifiable claims about what the world would have been like had he secured a second term.
· He describes the United States as a nation in ruins.
The article gave examples of each, but that's what it boils down to. It's astounding that his followers can't see how he cons them.
