Didn't you say that about Trump? People age, you know. Even bad ones.

Yes, they both look old. Hell, even Joe looks old. Just without his many kgs of makeup, Trump looks incredibly old.

Who knew lying about income and assets could get you in trouble with banks, investors, insurance, the tax man? :)

New York Times: Trump Faces Questions About His Net Worth in Interview He Tried to Avoid

For decades, Donald J. Trump has boasted with impunity about a subject close to his heart and ego: his net worth.

“I look better if I’m worth $10 billion than if I’m worth $4 billion,” he once said when disputing his ranking on the Forbes billionaires list. In a court case, he acknowledged that when it came to describing the value of his brand, “I’m as accurate as I think I can be.” And when he described his self-aggrandizing style in his book, “The Art of the Deal,” he chose a phrase that has followed him ever since: “truthful hyperbole.”’

But now, Mr. Trump will face questions under oath about that pattern of embellishment in an investigation that may shape the future of his family real estate business. The former president and his eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, are expected to be questioned later this month by the New York State attorney general’s office, which has been conducting a civil investigation into whether he and his company fraudulently inflated the value of his assets. His son, Donald Trump Jr., was interviewed last week, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The attorney general, Letitia James, has argued in court papers that “fraudulent or misleading” business practices reigned at the Trump Organization for years, and has said her investigators must question the Trumps to determine who was responsible. Mr. Trump fought hard to avoid an interview, but a judge ordered him to face questioning, and investigators will seek to elicit answers that might reveal whether he approved any bogus valuations of his hotels, golf clubs and other assets.

Even a single misstep in the deposition could be costly for Mr. Trump, who is also the focus of a separate criminal investigation into the same issues. Although that investigation by the Manhattan district attorney’s office lost momentum early this year, prosecutors are planning to review Mr. Trump’s answers and any incriminating statements or clumsy comments could breathe new life into it.

Mr. Trump has derided Ms. James’s inquiry as a politically-motivated “witch hunt” and denied all wrongdoing.

The former president, who is no stranger to being deposed, will present unusual challenges and opportunities for Ms. James’s lawyers, according to accounts from people who have questioned him under oath in the past and a review of nearly a dozen depositions. He is quick to spar with his inquisitors and often struggles to restrain himself”

Trump's shoe cleaner, 45 yards from golf hole 18. It's illegal

When a political party is bankrolling a million a year to your legal fees, why worry about consequences?

kingdragonfly: Trump's shoe cleaner, 45 yards from golf hole 18. It's illegal

Even if it wasn't, it shows how much respect Trump has for the office when he uses its official symbol to wipe his muddy shoes on. Better than having it as the target on a urinal, but only slightly so.

Alex Jones had the ear of Trump; I'm sure there are "Trump unfiltered" texts between the two.

NPR: Sandy Hook families' lawyer says he was given 2 years of Alex Jones' text messages

In an Austin courtroom today, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones admitted that the Sandy Hook school shooting - the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history - was, quote, "100% real." Some of the surviving Newtown parents are suing Jones for death threats and harassment that they have endured because of the lies he broadcast, and there were some shocking moments in this defamation trial today.

TV host: ... The attorney for the parents who are suing Jones for damages accused him of perjury. What happened was Alex Jones said earlier he didn't have any text messages that mentioned Sandy Hook. But the plaintiff's lawyer, Mark Bankston, said Jones's lawyers mistakenly turned over to him a large quantity of Jones's cell phone records, and there are lots of mentions of Sandy Hook.

Host #2: Mistakenly turned over - didn't intend to - accidentally sent it to the...

Host#1: Yeah.

Host #2: ...Opposing lawyers?

NPR: The Jan. 6 committee is asking for data from Alex Jones' phone, a lawyer says

An attorney representing two parents who sued conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over his false claims about the Sandy Hook massacre said Thursday that the U.S. House Jan. 6 committee has requested two years' worth of records from Jones' phone.

Attorney Mark Bankston said in court that the committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol has requested the digital records.

...A day earlier, Bankston revealed in court that Jones' attorney had mistakenly sent Bankston the last two years' worth of texts from Jones' cellphone.

Jones' attorney Andino Reynal sought a mistrial over the mistaken transfer of records and said they should have been returned and any copies destroyed.

He accused the Bankston of trying to perform "for a national audience." Reynal said the material included a review copy of text messages over six months from late 2019 into the first quarter of 2020.

Attorneys for the Sandy Hook parents said they followed Texas' civil rules of evidence and that Jones' attorneys missed their chance to properly request the return of the records.

From this week's Real Time with Bill Maher. Video below

"We're entering the political season, jockeying for even president had begun.

Josh Hawley who last seen running from the capitol, and yet he has a new book out called "Manhood: The masculine virtues America needs," says the running man.

They are all doing this. The ones who are going to run. [Kansas Republican Senator and frequent Fox News commentator] Tom Cotton: "Only the strong: Reversing the Left's plot to sabotage American Power.

This is always the Republican brand is that we have to out macho and be more manly manly men than these girly people on the other side"

HAWLEY CONCERNED THAT PUBLICITY ABOUT HIS NATURAL COWARDICE IS OVERSHADOWING HIS WORK AS A FASCIST

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Senator Josh Hawley is “deeply concerned” that his newfound national reputation for cowardice is overshadowing his commitment to end democracy.

“People see one video of me fleeing like a terrified bunny, and they think that’s all there is to me,” Hawley told reporters at a press conference. “They’re totally forgetting that I’m also a guy who's trying his best to overturn a free and fair election.”

Hawley admitted that, although it is tempting to stereotype him as “a guy who was scared shitless of a mob he had egged on earlier in the day, that’s just one side of me. What about the side of me that wantonly subverts democracy? That's far more important.”

The press conference was cut short after a reporter asked a question and the senator ran off.

Missouri made the other end of the horse a Senator.

[*] Probably not.
