Mike Lindell, your pillow guy...

When Trump was president, Mike Lindell was in the news. I'm guessing he poured money into the Trump campaign and bought rights to have White House clearance as he was there often. He was banned from Twitter but not as a claim to fame. Let's (try to) get past that, but his name keeps popping up in some weekly news.
I think he was in the wave of those protesting of election fraud... I believe he was in the boat with attorney Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani. Those too have a handful of lawsuits against them and Mike is just icing on the cake.

This week, it's reported awaiting food at a Hardee's restaurant, the FBI with a warrant seized his cellphone.

Mike, next time, spend the $150 and get a pre-paid (burn) phone.

Your daily dose of Donald... 9-15-2022

There's a lot going on in the world this week. Preparation for Queen Elizabeth's funeral, Florida's governor Ron DeSantis sending 2 planes with migrants to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, My pillow guy Mike Lindell having his cellphone confiscated by the FBI.
Somewhere along the way, Trump was asked about a running-mate for 2024 and if his daughter would be considered. His reply was no.

Stories keep regurgitating about seized documents from Mar-a-Lago. We all know the story changes to fit the questions and somewhere along the way 'some' documents were returned... his lawyers took his word for it. This leads to a credibility issue and if said documents had actually been returned, a search wouldn't have been necessary... or as some like to say, Biden's weaponized police state would have searched and found nothing.

If his lawyers supported false claims, they become liable... sticky isn't it. At some point if a lawyer gets charged, he may rollover on Donald to avoid a risk of disbarment.

Already some of the Trump Organization top employees have pleaded guilty on tax fraud. If you recall Michael Cohen stated that Trump approved every decision in his companies, so only one person should be responsible to as they say in gangster movies 'take the heat'.

Regarding lawyers for all things Trump... If you don't get your money up front, there's a really good chance you'll be working for free. I was going to use the statement PRO BONO, that that refers to clients with a low income. Donald doesn't fall into that category.

Cheap chairs...

I'm known for buying cheap office chairs. They usually last 3 to 5 years and get tossed out or handed down when a new one arrives. I've been through lots of fabric styles and a few ultrasuede versions. I dislike the bonded leather chairs as it's an emulsion of a polyurethane skin with fibers of leather for the backing. It looks and smells like plastic. Naugahyde is on my 'do not buy' list.

Also, I avoid real leather. Mostly for the expense and I don't like the smell.
Two years ago, I bought a stylish 'minimal' chair for my living room that was wood and thin leather cushions. I had to return it as the leather had a 'vomit-like' smell.

Someone I worked for years ago, bought an ultra-expensive judges chair with a high back rolled cushion top and rolled arms complete with the decorative tacks. Expensive in the range of $2,500, he made some statement his chair could easily last 15 years. Okay, but he used to shave his head and within a few weeks, the headrest started changing color from the oil in his skin! One day he came into the office (from working on something in the factory) and forgot to remove a screw driver from his back pocket. Deep scratch in the seat that will annoy him for the remaining 14 years in the life of his expensive chair!

The funeral train...

The security and logistics of possibly a million people wanting to converge in Westminster to pay respects to Queen Elizabeth is an event never to be repeated. I saw a few short videos of the procession from Buckingham Palace and thought of other famous people and how it was best to handle crowds like this.
Could more people witness a procession with less security risk if she were on a funeral train?

I did some research.
President Abraham Lincoln was the first in 1865.
His presidential rail car that was never used while he was alive, was fitted as a hearse and it traveled 1,654 miles passing through 180 cities in seven states.

President Eisenhower's funeral train passed through seven states during its journey to Abilene, Kansas, which Eisenhower called home.

I don't recall if entertainer James Brown had a funeral train, but he had private services with friends and family at an undisclosed location, then a public service at the Apollo Theater in New York and another viewing at the James Brown Arena in Augusta, Georgia.

Too late now, but I'm curious if the planners of the Queen's considered that.

Your daily dose of Donald... 9-13-2022

This reads like a tabloid story about Bigfoot. He was spotted in DC with no specific agenda. Later he was spotted in Virginia driving a golf cart, something he's really good at!

I haven't heard the final on who is paying for the grand special master. Trump wanted one, let Trump pay for one. No negotiation required. Judge Raymond J. Dearie was listed as a suitable choice. I'm not sure if it's been confirmed.

Trump's lawyers say the classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago may not be classified. Interesting comment from lawyers who saw a photo sampling of what was found there... extra points, though as it matters not if they were (pick any) top secret, classified, declassified as ALL of those documents belong in the hands of NARA and not ex-president Donald J. Trump. According to law, he broke the law.

No delay for the criminal tax fraud trial against the Trump organization. The trial is set to start on October 24.

Your daily dose of Donald... 9-10-2022

Sorry I missed a few episodes but (at least) 3 new Donald stories appear in the news each day. Last week, Trump and legal team requested a special master to review the government documents found at Mar-a-Lago. This potentially stalled the process, possibly until after the mid-term elections which could have a significant impact on the voting outcome should he be found guilty of (to put it nicely) doing something illegal.

Anyway, he's suggesting the DOJ pays for the special master. The DOJ disagrees... he's calling for this, he should pay. Don's a great negotiator, (isn't he?) and wants to split the cost with the government.

Reader comments are always entertaining:
"Trump wants the government to pay half so that when he stiffs his part at least the Special Master will get something."

"He asked for it. It should come out of Trump’s pocket and not the taxpayer’s pocket."

"This is really something, trump filed the motion for a special master, now they want help to pay for what they asked for, that like me asking for a new car and wanting the dealership to help me pay for it"

"He doesn't pay bills, loves to claim bankruptcy, also loves to get out of paying taxes. Then he should have all kinds of money to pay for the special master. Bet if he was to pay half, he would stiff the special master also"

"Why should the taxpayers pay for it? He took documents that didn't belong to him. Besides that, just last week, he was telling everyone that he's a billionaire. If so then let him pay for the special master that he wants."

"It’s not gonna be cheap either MAGAS. So get your checkbooks out because he needs your money to delay his indictment. Also, pay attention to who is cashing your checks. You’re in for a big surprise MAGAS!"

"I sure wish we could in some way redact Trump's entire presidency."

"Grump has some special documents he could trade for payment."

MAGA with The 65 Project...

Most people think of Make America Great Again when they see the acronym MAGA.
The 65 Project may rewrite all that, as the new acronym for MAGA is Making Attorneys Get Attorneys.

https://the65project.com


Basically the project states that after the 2020 election, Trump's lawyers filed bogus lawsuits in attempt to overturn the election results. The website lists their ethics complaint filings against those attorneys.

Bannon and the wall...

Steve Bannon is in New York court today facing multiple charges that include conspiracy & money laundering for his work with a non-profit 'Build the Wall' that raised $25 million to build a wall on the Southern US border.
I clicked one of the links that describes construction will be on privately owned land and work started without a permit.

Sounds like an interesting event and I've got to say that Steve is a busy guy!

Let's see if we can't get that to work...

I had a boss who inverted the can/can't statement. I'm sure he learned it from someone.
To me, it always sounded like a statement of failure. Why would you 'not' want something to work?
"Let's see if we can't get that to work..."

No boss, let's see if we CAN get that to work!

Trash or Treasure?

In condo life, if you don't arrange for your trash to be removed, it must remain near the dumpster for normal garbage collection. Someone dies and 40 years of furniture and bedding gets stacked along side of a dumpster. Sometimes, items that are in fair to good condition get recycled. It's there in the morning and an hour later it's gone, before the garbage truck passes by.
I've watched the sanitation crew load a sofa into the back and the arm comes down splitting the sofa into pieces to be consumed by the steel arm and not seen again. They usually do a quick check under cushions to see if there's cash under there... One worker said only coins... he's waiting for surprise payoff of a wad of 100's

During the night, a statue was placed in front of a dumpster near the community entrance. Badly weathered, it was obviously on display in someones back patio. When it's time to go, it's time to go and by noon, the statue disappeared!
I figured the new owner painted it with polyurethane and the statue 'lives again'

I don't know what religion/culture worshiped him, but it was important for one man's trash to become another man's treasure.

Another Republican who won't concede...

Laura Loomer who was backed by Trump has lost her Florida party nomination for reelection to Congress 11th district. It's reported that Daniel Webster with 42,316 votes 'narrowly' beat Laura Loomer with 37,098 votes.

The 51% to 44% and 5% to Gavriel Soriano.
Naturally, claims of election fraud... so she's not conceding. This couldn't have happened... could it?
I like the term narrowly beat.

How did we do?

Last month, my car had some damage from a de-laminated truck tire recap on the highway that a car along side of me hit and it flew into my path.

The insurance company arranged a rental and body shop for the repairs.
Everyone did what they were supposed to do.

I returned the rental and received texts and emails asking: How did we do?
The insurance company sent a few emails asking: How did we do?
The body shop sent a few texts and emails asking: How did we do?

You all did good... but I don't respond to surveys and 'back patting' reviews.
