Do these people think nobody will check?

Has it been redesignated as Greater Michigan?

I've tidied the thread up now as it was getting a bit out of hand, so let's try and keep it civil and on topic moving forward. Cheers.

Under normal circumstances I'd never in a million years quote a tweet by an actor, even one as smart as Edward Norton, but this thread right here is a pretty interesting take on the current situation (and I've been known to play a hand or two of Texas Hold 'Em). Worth the one minute it takes to read.

On the likely assumption that Edward Norton is correct, it would seem as though the complicit nature of his enablers indicates they are also in deep shit.

I think we may be getting that OJ Simpson chase down the freeway in SUV after all.
Vaccines almost nailed, Trump out, some great drone footage of him running for his life...things looking up for 2021?

All along my perspective has been that the biggest risk to Trump is the SDNY case on tax/bank fraud where I feel confident he misrepresented his financial position to either the IRS, Deutsche Bank or more likely both. I'd still suggest his enablers are in it more for their post-Trump careers as serial grifters but as usual where there is one cockroach there are more and things are always worse than they see, underneath the surface. I think what we'll uncover in Trump's staff is as much incompetence as there is illegality. Like all mobsters though, as Norton refers to him, prosecutors want to be able to catch him at one crime -- the most provable one -- as opposed to all the terrible ones committed.

He is not having a good time is he ?Borat, hair dye, the election and being clinically insane.

How could you leave out the epic 4 seasons landscaping news conference?

Simon Marks on the Eddie Mair show daily at this time is brilliant - he is their US correspondent - very incisive and very entertaining in his language - just referring to Rudi as a clown and Sidney Powell as a nutcase ha ha
He just played Tucker Carlsson jumping off the Trump train last night saying were Tucker a deep sea diver he'd be surfacing so fast he's in danger of getting the bends ha ha ha

For what it's worth quite a few former FBI/CIA/Prosecutors in the media have also put forward similar theories.

So Norton might not be qualified himself but people who are think similarly to him.

Pretty much my takeaway as well. Is doesn't necessarily matter what you get him for. That sounds almost like there's a witch hunt. :-)
