They always did have a good working quid pro quo.
Even more important is the sequence of events in 2013. The Orlando Sentinel reported on Sept. 14, 2013, that a spokeswoman for Bondi’s office said it was “currently reviewing the allegations” in a New York lawsuit involving Trump University. Three days later, Trump’s foundation wrote a $25,000 check to Bondi’s campaign committee. After the check was received, Bondi’s office decided not to launch its own investigation or to join a lawsuit filed by New York’s attorney general. That timing simply does not look right and deserves an independent look to reassure Floridians that the state’s top legal officer did nothing wrong.

Just the fact that a 501(c )3 charitable foundation wrote a check to a political campaign is investigation-worthy.
Edited to add: apparently there’s no way to just put the ‘c’ in parantheses as it’s supposed to be written; it defaults (no correction that I can find) to the copyright symbol now. I’ve noticed that twice in the last week.

I value excellent cuisine as much as anyone, but is cooking really something to get a Humanities award for? Especially because he’s the first recipient to get a National Humanities Metal from Trump, who hadn’t bothered with the annual award thus far in his tenure.

i do understand your point here, really. still, out of the universe of choices for for someone to give an award that trump could have picked from, this is a fairly harmless choice. considering he might have picked william luther pearce for his contribution to amerikan letters.

Ate there once, not on my dime. The bill for 4 was nearly $800. This was over 20 years ago. There is a separate parking lot for limos! Kind of place Trump would like.

We can always disrupt the markup by throwing bogus HTML tags in the middle of things
(c) → (c)
(c<foo>) → (c)
501(c<foo>)3 → 501(c)3

“The President was rushed to the hospital in a motorcade and his schedule was cleared for three days so that, out of the goodness of his heart, he could make an emergency run to say hi to a sick kid and, while he was there, get a jump-start on next year’s physical by getting half of it done, just for fun,” is some next-level White House propaganda.

Either he actually missed it or somebody “forgot about it”, whatever the case may be at least he can’t do any damage for now.

Government specialists on Soviet affairs discount the official explanation that Mr. Andropov skipped the annual celebrations of the Bolshevik Revolution because of a cold. His absence from public view since Aug. 18, they said, persuades them that his illness is graver than a cold.

Same here. He’s been playing with that thing for awhile now.

That could actually be a true statement: I assume he has negative net worth because of all his leveraging, so if he has the barest positive at the bottom of his balance sheet, he will indeed be much richer than I thought.

At this point, seriously, what could be in his taxes that he is so afraid of revealing? It’s obvious that nothing he says or does will lose him his base. Lyndsey Graham will remain steadfastly up his butt, and Mitch McConnell will be incapable of imagining any scenario that would diminish the president in any way. What the fuck is he hiding?
