That appears to be modern British usage (at least according to Wikipedia), but historically cottage pie and shepherd's pie were synonyms regardless of the meat, and I'm not even sure the term cottage pie gets much usage in the US, though maybe it's regional and/or I'm having a brain fart.

I’ve certain never used the term cottage pie, though I basically consider shepherds pie to be a weird British ethnic food like jellied eels so I’m hardly an expert.

"In FY18, Congress provided $1.375B for border wall construction which equates to approximately 84 miles of border wall in multiple locations across the Southwest border"

84 miles of wall costs 1.37 BILLION DOLLARS

Glad your walls stood up to a bunch of starving migrants, I am sure the cartels really give a poo poo.

Yeah, I guess just putting those ideas in people's heads is the point. Doesn't seem like the most sustainable business model, though

I think we’re finding out more and more that sustainability is a far lower priority than “propagandizes for us” for the rich people that publications serve.

There’s a whole swath of right wing publications like The Federalist and Weekly Standard (RIPiss) that are absolutely kept afloat by wingnut welfare. I suspect Washington Times is too.

Edit;
And right wing publishers like Regenry have been known to game bestseller lists and have their books frequently used as giveaways at a level that indicates that the sales numbers are not at actual bestseller levels once you drop from the Limbaugh/Hannity strata.

From wikipedia.

quote:

In 2005, he was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, and served time in federal prison. After his release, he resumed his career in real estate. His son, Jared Kushner, is the husband of Ivanka Trump and son-in-law and senior advisor to President Donald Trump.

Just a reminder that he's scum just like his father in law. He was also disbarred.

You know, if you consider Trump in like 2002, Cohen is a perfectly fine lawyer. While not smart (cuz you know, breaking the law and super shady) he was fine for real estate grifter Donald Trump. Then Trump goes to run for election, and poo poo gets way bigger and under fire from people who are way better investigators and immune to bully tactics and suddenly Cohen really isn't good enough anymore. Like he isn't nearly good enough to be going up against this level of investigation, but back when he got on board this situation wasn't even a pipe dream.

They were so used to 'winning' at their old game they thought they could play a new one the same way. But politics is not real estate and DC is not Manhattan. The bribes, blackmail, NDAs, lawsuits, bullying and other tactics don't work so well anymore.

Wait maybe I’m dumb but what are they suggesting might have happened here?Are they saying Hargrove wasn’t really involved and the invoice to them is just fake, or that Hargrove facilitated transferring cash from the inaugural fund to pay the settlement?
