And then there's the verboten topic of the corruption of US border and drug personnel ...

If Trump's dad hadn't gifted this simpleton mountains of dough he would be pushing a stolen shopping cart across the street, hunched over, mumbling to himself about the time he and Theda Bara danced the light fantastic beside the canals of Mars with Ronald Reagan and Bonzo.

"UN Ambassador Nominee Waltz Downplays 'Signalgate' Controversy"

As another in the long and sorry parade of Trump's MAGAt fools he would, wouldn't he?

"Primero vinieron ... "

"This sounds like junk for junk's sake."

And with Trump's imprimatur?!?
So out of character ...
Oh, please, say it ain't so.

According to the article, the funds included "thousands of wire transfers for the purchase and sale of artwork for rich friends."

The art world is a notoriously unregulated milieu, and it is not unheard of for transactions to fall short of being on the up and up. The offense that springs to my mind right off is money laundering.

The fake Trump family motto is emblazoned in Tijuana cantina blinking Christmas tree lights on the gold spray-painted fake escutcheon Gorilla Glued poolside at Mar-a-Lardo:

EFF IT, EAT IT, STEAL IT

"I'll spell it out for you ... "

Wake me when you're done done.

Basically, you're probably good to go in a pool or bathtub, if you inspect first for Jurassics.
However, bear in mind, FL is swarming in gators and there are plenty of saltwater crocs in the south.

Brownshirt thugs.

Combined with Trump's enduring shackling to Epstein's ghost, Musk may well be sensing an opening as disaffected MAGAts peel off, cringing in embarrassment. (The rest will stay liplocked on Trump's rump come what may, because no one else will put up with their ignorance, stupidity, and hatred.)

The Epstein story sure has rattled Old Orange Julius.

Except ...

Pavlov's dogs = Trump's MAGAts

Jeffrey Epstein got a sweetheart deal from Alex Acosta during George Bush's presidency.
Donald Trump made Acosta a member of his Cabinet.
Epstein got picked up again and put in federal custody during Trump's first term.
That's also when he died.
In prison.
Under guard.
After being removed from suicide watch.
While Trump was in charge.

"However, there plenty of well educated reasonable people in Texas."

There are.
They probably all get together in a cantina in Austin on Alamo Day.
To mourn the passing of Coahuila y Tejas.

"He went on an unrelated tangent about his summer vacation plans earlier this month when he was asked a very basic question about how long detainees would be kept in the Alligator Alcatraz detention camp, and famously confused Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley up at a campaign event last year. These are just one of many examples. Who knows what Trump's mind will look like at the end of this term."

Indeed.

Looks like this lardarse's skin run to thin when it comes to his former buddy.

"Reagan used tell us ... "

Not much actually worth remembering?

Wow, Scotts, what a class in you getting your beehind handed to you on a cornflake.
Your tolerance for embarrassment should be ... embarrassing.
