No doubt.The police would have arrived, guns drawn, house surrounded and the wife would have been put in handcuffs. On the other hand, what was that flying tackle all about?

Lesson learned.

This is a great story though --

Of course, President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Brad Parscalwas hospitalized Sunday after he threatened to harm himself.

I bit of background here --

Working for Donald Trump had made Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale a very rich man in a very short time.

I 've been reading about how The Parscales bought $300,000 worth of cars in just a few months, to fill the driveways of the $4.4 million worth of Florida real estate. Parscale, through a slew of companies and subsidiaries, was getting a percentage of most of the contributions to the Trump 2020 campaign. Thus, multi-million-dollar real estate- and car-shopping sprees.

A low-level techie with a billy goat beard -- living alongside Miami Dolphins players and captains of industry on a Fort Lauderdale canal.

And as if that weren't enough, Parscale had hit the speakers' circuit with a vengeance.

Wife called them.

This guy was begging for a barrage of .40 cal and 5.56 nato. "Suicide by cop" was a risk, he had 10 guns in the house and had fired one of them. Wonder how big the policy is. I dont think they pay off on suicide by cop. It seems like anyone who works for Trumpstein ends up in disgrace, or convicted.

Why "Trumpstein"?


That comment could be read as anti-semitic and offensive to many Jews like myself whose last name ends in "stein".

S. Wallerstein:

Relax. I doubt Danny was intending to be anti-semitic. He wanted a clever, monster nickname for Trump, probably thought of Frankenstein, and created "Trumpstein."

I don't think the fictional Dr. Frankenstein is Jewish. And even if he is Jewish, I doubt Danny had any anti-semitic intentions.

Let's keep our eyes on the prize (i.e. defeating Trump) and not read too much into things.

So many opportunities for victimhood here.

Make Israel Great Again!

I actually watched the debate, I don't know why. Not to praise Trump here, but rather, to muse about whether Biden could have done better -- I think that if Biden won, I think it wasn't by much -- perhaps Biden won by a hair. Trump did have some answers, the sort of thing that some people like to hear, and his incessant talking could be construed as a strategy to ruffle Biden. Biden had a strategy of not getting ruffled.

Like, Biden gets a 66.66 and Trump gets a 65.27.
