Is the old mobster trick?

Paul Manafort appeared in a wheelchair at his Virginia court hearing on Friday, his lawyer telling the judge the former Trump campaign chairman’s health has had “significant issues” related to the “terms of his confinement.”

Him & Bruce Willis. Maybe there's at least a rollicking comedy film or thriller at the end of this rainbow? Maybe call it "All That Jizz" - seemed a success in bygone days.

Very personal.
Maybe it is entangled with having graduated from a military academy and then dodging the war but Trump has been consistently hostile to the idea that suffering can be a form of service. The rancor expressed goes beyond having an opinion about it. He sounds like something has been stolen from him and that he will never get it back.

Even Palmer notes this is nonsence - that Putin wouldn't risk the further sanctions that such an act would invite. And frankly (or "Frankenly") speaking, I think Putin digs the kind of bad-boy Russian dirt that Manafort dishes. It's not like Manafort will threaten Russia's money laundering / corporate extortion business - in fact he just makes it look sexy.

My wife Franni has been saying for months that Trump won’t pardon Manafort—because he doesn’t have to. Her theory is simple and chilling. Manafort knows that if he talks, the Russians will seek retribution. https://t.co/5moCr9Shgk

back to the general topic of admin anonymice for a sec., a kinda cryptic opinion, maybe learned from sorry experience?:

A phenomenon of Trumpland caused by corrosive dishonesty means that all kinds of things are believable as having taken place, and/but advisers sometimes attribute their interpretation of what he’s thinking/wished-for outcomes to him instead of to themselves.

It walks behind us, stalking.

It's the personal.

It's not just the bitterness,

It's the belief in the taste.

The two impulses are not mutually exclusive.

Bigger than any particular personality is the shadow of the Vietnam War. The bitterness felt deeply by those who fought or did not. The bitterness between those who did. The only possible memorial was a list of names of who died.

Daily Beast has a headline story that is making the fair point that he's just not that good dealing with dead people in general. I think they maybe should think again and change it to not being good with anyone that doesn't adore him properly?
