I attended a lecture course given by a Professor Love, who should have looked and sounded like Barry White but was actually quite diminutive with a high-pitched voice.

What's the story then?

yeah, his last name is Judge, so at one point he was referred to as Judge Judge.

my wife grew up in a 15th-century Grade 2 listed farmhouse in Draycote. A few years ago when we were over visiting, she decided to go for a drive and show me farm house. it changed hands a couple of times since her parent lived there, and she assumed at this point it had last been purchased by some big shot.

so we get there, park out front of the old farm house and take a few photos of the house and barn from the road. as she telling me about the place, this old guy wanders up to the fence and asked if we needed help. my wife explains she grew up in the house, and he says "do you want to come in and look around?" she didn't want to bother him but he insisted.

he gave us a tour of the house, which was resorted but still rustic, and he'd built a connection to another small building behind the house which was converted into his library, including his rare book collection (some volumes that were under glass). introduced us to his wife, and the four of us took a walk around the farm property up to a small pond. they were really interested in learning about the history of the house and property, really friendly. as we headed back towards the house, my wife was up ahead with his wife and I was walking and chatting with the guy. he was really down top earth, not snobby or boastful at all, never really told me what he did. at one point I asked if he got down to London much and he said "yes, a few times a month, we have a place there."

after we got back to the car, my wife said "do you have any idea who that was?" I said no, and she explained he was the equivalent of US Chief Justice Roberts. If I'd known that going in, I probably would have felt self-conscious or made nervous small talk, but I didn't and he just seemed like a friendly elderly guy. I think he enjoyed the fact that I was a clueless American who had no idea who he was, and was chatting with him as just a normal person.

Another Republican (former) fundraiser just pleaded guilty to lobbying for other governments and is going to jail for up to five years. Maybe Trump heard about that and then shat himself.

At the time of his work for Mr. Low, Mr. Broidy was deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee. Earlier, Mr. Broidy was a vice chairman for the Trump campaign’s joint fundraising committee with the Republican Party during the 2016 campaign, helping it bring in more than $108 million.
Oops.

Oh and Trump has a secret bank account in China and has been paying more tax there than in the US of late (admittedly not that difficult).
And it turns out that China is one of only three foreign nations — the others are Britain and Ireland — where Mr. Trump maintains a bank account, according to an analysis of the president’s tax records...
The Chinese account is controlled by Trump International Hotels Management L.L.C., which the tax records show paid $188,561 in taxes in China while pursuing licensing deals there from 2013 to 2015.

biden should nail trump on the china bank account at the debate. it might not sway voters but nothing pisses trump off more than the investigation into his finances and tax returns, so it will definitely get under his thin skin.

Reading it in more detail seems he (or the Trump company controlling the account) received a mysterious seventeen million dollar payment while he was president.
In 2017, the company reported an unusually large spike in revenue — some $17.5 million, more than the previous five years’ combined. It was accompanied by a $15.1 million withdrawal by Mr. Trump from the company’s capital account.
 

woops

is not like other people
trump has angrily responded to claims on a leading internet forum that a thread based on him is boring.

in a characteristic outburst, trump referred to "deluded mystics like crooked @luka" "addled on DNT therapy" using synchronicity to undermine his campaign.

in a tweet, the POTUS also criticised "lazy @IdleRich" for giving Joe Biden an easy ride in the thread, claiming "IdleRich is a LAZY and CORRUPT poster".

Commentators have responded to the latest presidential broadside with tweets praising a "cool story bro"
