'Confidence trick': Internet calls out Trump over unverified $50 million fundraising night
"[R]eminder: a court found that Trump committed fraud by lying about his net worth."
"The one night $50 Million fundraising total that #Trump’s people keep touting is a confidence trick meant to fool people into thinking fundraising is going well (it isn’t) and to distract them from the fact that the money that is coming in isn’t being spent on winning elections,"

Story by Samantha Jarpe • 17h
I'm flying to Lima and back this week-Boeing-less. The phone attendant told me it is now common for passengers to request to fly with no Boeing planes.
‘If it’s Boeing, I’m not going’:
I see Donnie Dipshit is comparing himself to Mandela now.
Who’s next?
Che? Fidel? Allende? Mosadeggh? Peltier?
How about Niemoeller?

“Then she came for the subprime auto loan guy and the surety because NY law and she’s a racist.”
“And then she’ll come for YOU cuz HOSTAGES! MAGA! BIBLES! SHOES!”

Is it bad to make fun of the rapture cultists here? Or are we given a pass because reasons? #religion #atheist #CoSoQuestions
And no...it wasn't just about balls-out rockers and quirky prog-funk. A spooky ballad would pop up here and there...plus, dig Bruford's notes on the posting.
As much as I like Fripp and Bruford...the old stuff only came alive after Belew and Tony joined.
Bruford put this up 4 months ago?
Chills...and I saw this iteration in St. Pete that year.
Bruford has apparently put up pro-shot vids from the Warfield '95 show...
