Hey, there was finally a Melania sighting. She was just leaving home with her son, Barron. She was carrying a $42,000 ostrich skin purse, likely another “gift” from MAGA. I know MAGA doesn’t care that Trump is fleecing them dry. He’s taking their money as fast as they can send it and using it for things I doubt they intended. Melania’s hair management? Okay, maybe, but a $132,000 dollar haircut? What, she couldn’t find a ‘Super Cuts?’

Alright, that’s a bit hyperbolic. I wasn’t ONE haircut for $132,000. It was a single payment for several cuts, each costing thousands of dollars. But do you know what? Paying thousands of dollars for a haircut under ANY circumstances is stupid.

MAGA doesn’t care, but I would. I doubt the haircut, alone, would have caused any friction for me but such bad money management when you’re using other people’s money? I don’t know what it takes to keep her hair looking like it does – nor do I notice anything particularly special about her hair, but LOTS of people have very nice looking hair and pay far, far less. I guess it costs a LOT for that natural looking dye job. But other people manage to get lovely dye jobs for FAR less, also. I guess the Trumps are just selfish people who don’t even bother to manage the money they beg for, and receive, from MAGA…

I just want to make one thing clear to MAGA, who seem to be having some difficulty grasping a rather basic concept. When a prosecutor lays out a case in court, using evidence they’ve collected using legal means, and a jury of one’s peers convicts? That’s not a “rigged” trial. That’s a criminal trial. Trump didn’t lose the case for any reason other than the evidence that he did the crime. Trump is the cheater, not the cheated…

Meanwhile, MAGA is out there screaming and yelling and whining and crying about how terrible it is that someone in America is forced to go through a “political” trial and at the same time, thrilled as they can be at forcing Hunter Biden through a political trial…

Yes, I know Hunter did the crime. But his case had been handled in accordance with the way other, similar cases had been handled. He reached a plea agreement. But MAGA screamed, “NOOOOO!” MAGA needed to see Hunter tried and all that fabulous, salacious information needed to be made as public as possible, mostly for prurient reasons. MAGA has tried as hard as they could to make Hunter’s drug problem somehow reflect on Joe.

Dear MAGA, Hunter Biden is NOT Joe Biden. Hunter’s poor life choices are not Joe’s poor life choices. Hunter did the (oh-so-minor) crime, not Joe. The attack may give YOU a “chubby,” but it’s just not landing with thinking Americans…

I remember when conservatives were all about “law and order.” I’ve noticed that as the law catches up with them, they suddenly lose all respect for the people and institutions that inhabit the world of “law and order.” Suddenly, everything is rigged against them. Uh-huh…

Alex Jones is the latest. As you recall, he kept claiming the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was all made up, with the parents being “portrayed” by “crisis actors.” But it wasn’t made up. It really happened and it happened the way mainstream media said it happened. Alex Jones, it turns out, was the one lying about Sandy Hook! Finally, a court said so, to the tune of about $1.5 billion dollars in a defamation suit judgement.

Old Alex vowed he’d never pay. They’d never get any money and he’d just keep living the high life, manipulating the system endlessly. Fortunately, the Sandy Hook families never gave up. Jones tried to protect himself from his lies by filing for bankruptcy protection and then dragging the process out. The families finally got through to the court that he didn’t really have any realistic chances of making payments by reorganizing.

Jones has finally admitted as much and asked the court to go ahead and liquidate his assets to cover the debt, or at least, what portion of the debt it might cover. He might well (probably will) lose his hate channel, Infowars, where he waged war on legitimate information for years and hawked useless “diet supplements” and other questionable products to grift money.

So, who wins? The families haven’t seen any of the money. I’m not sure they ever really expected to. Now, with this decision, the families likely still won’t see much of the money, if any. This fight is about their children, though, and Alex Jones will be gone.

Personally, I suspect he’s been secretly moving what money he could when he could to some off-shore location, so he’ll be just fine. Still, he won’t be on air every day poisoning the body politic, and that’s a good thing. The families get vindication – Jones had to admit the shooting occurred AND that he does, in fact, owe the families the money – and they get rid of Jones…
