Perhaps he's lazily hiding some of his assets in plain and obvious ways to throw the courts off the scent of stuff he's shielding more effectively and discretely.

Uh, sir? This is a Wendy's.

I don’t know how they did it

This is one of the dangers of having a corrupt government in the modern world that is openly for sale. Conservatives might think it's fine that money can and should influence politicians, but they're dead quiet about the fact that the money doesn't have to only come from American sources.

I used to play Civ III a lot and one of my favorite strategies was to borrow a bunch of money from a neighbor and then attack and destroy him, which would of course wipe away the debt with the only consequence being that everybody else hated you. It was amusing to learn that this was actually Hitler's strategy with his invasion of the Soviet Union (minus the "destroy him" part, of course). Part of the nonaggression treaties between Germany and the USSR was actually a massive loan to Hitler, adding to the debt that Hitler had already racked up to achieve his "economic miracle".

Fun random Comcast fact: founder Ralph Roberts, famous for wearing a bow-tie (and infamous for other reasons) died in 2015. My then-boss, a Comcast veep, decided to wear a bow-tie to the memorial service. He was fired a week later. When an executive is fired at Comcast, they just instantly disappear around lunchtime and are never seen or heard from again or even mentioned by anybody. I'm not entirely certain they're not killed and dissolved in acid.

It's worth mentioning that Joe Pesci did SNL the following week and said "I would have gave [sic] her such a smack. I would've grabbed her by her ... eyebrows." AFAIK he has never apologized for this.

"Vietnam, stop resisting!"

we keep ending up killing people in other countries

Excuse me, this is called "defending our interests".

I always thought Trump could curtail democratic elections without the excuse of war ... by relying on a convenient terrorist attack instead.

I dunno, maybe Nugent did it, too. He's not exactly an original.

FWIW classic rock often wasn't just about sex - it was about sex with 14-year-old girls. And often the same 14-year-old girl.

Nothing, however, can possibly top Steven Tyler of Aerosmith becoming the legal guardian of the underage girl he was fucking so he could bring her on tour with him.
