Yeah. Why would anyone divorce a Trump? It doesn't make sense.

Only because marrying one in the first place doesn't make sense.

I figure once you've crossed that bridge, why not stick it out. In for a penny, in for a pounding.
 
The best people.

In November 2013, a judge ordered Jafry and a fuel company he chaired to repay more than $800,000 to the family of Alfred Oglesby, a former NFL player and investor in the fuel firm, who died in 2009. Oglesby’s widow accused Jafry of fraud. Jafry has not paid the money. Debt collectors said they had been trying to locate him for years.

David Freedman, an attorney for Oglesby’s family, said he was surprised Jafry had resurfaced in an influential role in the government. “If he is advising Donald Trump we’re screwed – we should just surrender to North Korea right now,” said Freedman.

Jafry denied the lawsuit’s allegations. He said he never received Oglesby’s investment, so he didn’t owe Oglesby’s family money.

Having arrived in the US in about 2005, Jafry was the subject of several other legal actions in Texas. Owners of gas stations that Jafry tried to buy sued him and his business associates, repeatedly accusing Jafry of fraud and breaching contracts.

'Bout time, sadly. Man never made a lick of sense as a part of this administration. I had high hopes in the beginning but it became obvious that his influence over the POTUS was limited (if he had any at all).

Professional debt-collectors can't locate this guy, but the Trump administration stumble on him by accident. How many more of these chancers are currently on the gumment's dime? Professional debt-collectors are no doubt mining the available data as we speak.

One record said Accel signed an $800,000 deal with Hud on 26 September 2017 to “provide expert guidance” in helping senior Hud officials “to embrace change and provide dynamic leadership”.

OMFG. "Embrace the Change." "Endeavour to Persevere". These are your tax-dollars, TBG; why isn't Trump doing anything about that? What kind of business is he running?

If they are going to grow one, they'll do it around July. The only way to salvage the midterm election is to keep sucking up to Trump until the primaries are over, then do a complete 180 and attack him with everything they've got. Impeachment hearings, everything. They have to appear more anti-Trump than the Democrats if they want to keep the existing Dem wave from becoming a tsunami.

But they can't do it until then, because their dwindling base is still conditioned to support whoever the most rabidly insane candidate appears to be. If they jump the gun they'll get primaried by someone who isn't just acting crazy.

The problem with that theory is that they could do the 180 as soon as the filing deadline for candidacy has passed. I think it has in most states but I am unaware of a number of incumbents make the turn.
 
Experts have investigated the wreck and reached some preliminary conclusions. The train was being driven by some monkeys who, excited by their recent acquisition of keys, were proceeding at unsafe speeds to the banana plantation. Having no regular fuel, the monkeys tried to power the train with a dumpster fire. These hazardous conditions would have likely resulted in a trainwreck even if at some point the monkeys hadn't attempted to cut their noses off to spite their faces (possibly inspired by psychological issues stemming from past incidents involving falling out of the ugly tree) and then lost any vestige of control. The trainwreck is therefore as severe as it was inevitable. The only astonishing aspect is that it keeps on happening and shows no sign of being done. Speculation is that this may be related to one being born every minute.

I suppose you mean that this sort of thing will set precedents and lead to less democracy in the future?

I agree with dudalb so if I had posted that I would have meant that the well-run, two-party democracy needs a conservative party that is based in reality, recognizes the need for compromise, respects the norms and traditions of society, and is unstinting in its support of the rule of law.

As a result of Trump, the present-day GOP is utterly lacking in those attributes. So where do we go for that needed balance to the Dems? And what happens if we fail to find such a party. I fear an overwhelming dominance by Dems just as much as I fear the same about the GOP.
