There’s also a replacement out there for HHS or the VA who I am scared to name because I don’t want ANY press or attention going to them. They would be so incredibly bad and you’d basically see a Toys R Us level collapse of HHS or VA. They are “qualified” too so they would get through Senate approval.

There's another department he's being considered for too. It's HHS, the VA and.... let's see. I can't. The third one, I can't. Sorry. Oops.

Well the weird thing is that people keep saying that they fell victim to amazon. But they still account for the largest share of toy sales and there’s no other store now that’s dedicated exclusively to toys. I find it hard to believe that they lost in some sort of fight vs a competitor.

They were paying out 400 mil a year just for the interest on that buyout, I imagine it was just a long slide down because while they had some money they certainly didn't have enough to keep things going without letting other stuff go to poo poo. Sort of like those Bar Rescue dives that just continue to lose money till they get help or close the doors. Doesn't help that they were probably trying to cash in as much as possible during all that slow fall so they could bolt once it did and gently caress everyone else.

This is a bad take on this. All defendants have to consent for removal. It wouldn’t have taken much to find out who was representing trump in this matter.

There probably is private contact and trump is probably involved in this since him and his lawyers are the dumbest fucks ever, but the removal doesn’t prove anything

But it does enough to confirm a couple things:

That Stormy and Trump were somehow involved, that Cohen at least thinks the NDA is enforceable, which means something did likely happen...

How would you go about illegalizing it? Each step makes reasonably good sense, it's the totality that's off the wall.
