    I won't mention him by name this time. Of course, neither did The Post. Story on Pg. 26:

    Not for someone like him. When he was in his 20s, and was taking over his dad's company, the Federal government went after them for not renting to black people in the Brooklyn homes they had built. Roy Cohn was Trump's laywer. Every other developer who the Feds went after settled -- for example Samuel LeFrak. Roy Cohn and Trump created a circus and kept the lawsuit going. ... and he kept on going like it was business as usual. Eventually, they wore down the Feds. They didn't exactly win, but the consent decree he ended up signing didn't have an admission of guilt. I don't care what clouds this guy is under. He has no shame and will never admit defeat. I think he is an uncurious moron with poor business instincts, and he has fucked up a crazy number of things causing losses for others. But he has two amazing attributes that very few people have. 1) He is a hustler. In the New York sense of the word. And 2) Within his real estate promoter career (when that was what he supposedly was), he was gifted at using that relentless personality to find corrupt politicians who would put money into his pockets in exchange for kickbacks. If he went to the city and got stonewalled (and he often disgusted people who were otherwise bribable), he'd find a way to get the state to rewrite the rules. It always traced back to some sleazy politician in Brooklyn who had a key Assemblyman's ear or who was in with the governor (or some connection like that). But once he gets his hooks into someone he is gifted at milking it.

    Except, we’ve all seen his performance already. The key voters in the middle have rejected him after the 1/6 insurrection and I would lay money that doesn’t change.

    When conservatives complain non-stop about left wing media bias, just look at the coordinated attacks on Trump across the Murdoch platforms.

    Even NPR seems to have a fuck-you-we’re-not-free-advertising-anymore feel to their story.

    Don’t underestimate a sizable portion of the population just being over this dude and his constant need for attention.

    We underestimated him in 2016. Don't underestimate the whackos that still believe every word he utters as freakin' gospel. And if the other candidates are as uninspiring as they were in 2016 it'll happen all over again.
    He needs kneecapped. Bigly.
