"But it seems no one asked him about how hosting LIV golf this weekend squared with any of this."

Actually, nothing he says squares with anything else -- usually the truth.

Just my opinion, but the comment from Susan made no sense to me. Victoria's Secret? Nowhere in your stack did I see anything that reminded me of underwear. Meant as an insult, I guess, but it didn't track, and wasn't even a good insult.

I appreciate that, Margo. I actually do think Victoria's Secret is relevant as a sort of cultural benchmark, but whatever! I can't please everyone. I have readers with completely antithetical political views, perhaps because I don't believe there should be sacred cows on either side. But I'm always curious to know why readers don't like certain things if it's beyond it just not fitting their world view of a person....Thank YOU for sending your thoughts! Have a great weekend!

The sexy frillies are, indeed, a cultural benchmark, but have nothing to do with LIV *or* Trump. Maybe I responded because I know how, maybe from decades in the news business, to craft a killer insult, and hers didn't measure up.

Sorry Vicky, but you’re as relevant as Victoria’s Secret. I’m out.

Margo, TDS stands for “Trump derangement syndrome.” MAGA devotees label those who comment about their God (trumf) without slathering praise on him as deranged and they want to shut them down for disliking how he and the GOP have been trashing America for almost in the most egregious manner for 8 years now.

We have seen how trump adores violent dictators and swoons over anybody who says anything nice to him, his mental health problem can’t control his response to flattery as bending completely over. Which is very dangerous for a person in the role of president. He’s entirely compromisable since he’s only looking out for his own “beautiful” blonde ego and money all the time, every day.

The Kushner/Saudi alliance has been troubling from the start. It is quite amazing how MBS just handed Kushner $2 billion! To pay off a loan on 555 Park Ave, why? At the time I read that intel said Kushner helped identify Khashoggi as anti-Saudi govt to MBS.

Khashoggi was on a hit list the Saudis had for people that were saying negative things against the government there(another group of sociopathic people without accountability)

There was a roundup/ hostagetaking there at the Ritz Carlton prior to the event leading to Khashoggi’s death. I read that Kushner provided names to MBS including the name of Khashogi. Sounds plausible to me. Knowing the trump orbit have zero scruples and are 100% self serving.

But these are the people that some people in America seem to adore. SMH
