Why do some women love Trump? Why does anyone do business with Trump? Why would anyone want to be in politics with Trump? The world is a revolving door full of suckers. Nice work, Nina. You are really rocking it. Too bad the people who need to read you, probably can’t read anything beyond a snippy social media post.

I wrote a comment to USA Today about JD Vance being a hillbilly traitor which was rejected for language issues so I appealed the censorship telling the editors the name of his NYT Best seller was Hillbilly Elegy, they ghosted me.

I knew he was evil the minute I saw the first ad for the Apprentice. His catchphrase “you’re fired” was the cue.

In real life he always has someone else do the evil to people.

“You’re fired” reflects bad leadership.

Thank you Nina!

Wonder if the reporter who caught TFG writing out anti-gag order talking points for his Congressional Posse, will provide information to the Court of what THEY know?

What accounting method was “Allen Weisselberg” using at the time of the “hush money” payments that was designed to defraud the voting populace? If #FIFO, then “David Pecker” should have been paid before #Stormy!

Thanks for the corrected spelling of Allen!

I always get that mixed up, too! Generally, if the subject is of #Hebrew-origin … I normally go with the shorter “Alan.” But, if not … Then, I opt for the “generic” Allen. I had to google that a dozen times during these #Trump-cases to get it right!

Thanks Nina. Must’ve been hard to choose which bits of M. Cohen knowledge to highlight. As supplement for your readers is the Cohen family / Russian- Ukrainian mafia connection. MC was co-owner of El Caribe Country Club in Brooklyn; a Russian mob gathering place. <> After USSR went kaput in Dec. 1991 and Vodka addled Yeltsin was busy creating new oligarchs from black market racket bosses, the USSR fleet of oil tankers went to one guy. Start up required re-flagging, insuring & bonding the ships. The Oligarch came to El Caribe Country Club several times to meet with the owner of a start up marine insurance/bonding company. A deal was made. The insurance guy later spent 1.5 days in an imperial hotel - ballroom in Saint Petersburg co-celebrating the successful launch of Russia’s fleet of used oil tankers. Cavier, vodka, and champaign, flowed while beautiful nude women swam in glass tanks in the ballroom.

The best, NB. I am never disappointed in your reporting - always learn and laugh as well. It is indeed a freak show, but I do think we’ll make it to the exit intact…and if not, run screaming from the red tie brigade.
