The Constitution is only important to him for suing his perceived enemies. That's it.

Just like the Bible he profits from, he never reads the Constitution. Boring. Doesn't understand a sentence.

it's all irrelevant because Larry and David Ellison own Paramount and this becomes all about securing billions in government contracts for Oracle.

It's safe to say that Trump doesn't express enthusiasm about ANYTHING unless he's receiving something substantial in return.

And, he's a guy who "took a taste" from his own charities, so none of this is unexpected.

And then Trump himself keeps their ticket money? Sickening levels of corruption.

days ago that Dana White is concerned about the outdoor venue -- too many gnats outdoors that can get in a fighter's mouth and eyes. He literally said that's why he doesn't generally accept outdoor sites for competitions. Uck.

...part of me "wants to know" and part of me doesn't, but I'm one of those people who takes a deep breath and dives in, because we can never turn a blind eye to what Trump and his cronies are getting away with.

I find that it's truly difficult to keep up with all of the crap that is going on. My brain has retention issues because there is so much, so much, to remember and to figure out all of the devious ways that we are being manipulated and ripped off.

The DU community is a wonderful resource and repository for me of all that is swirling around.

Thank you so much for your efforts.
