And apparently assumed that the constitution should be re-written every 17 years or so. That's the 'constitutional convention' ploy, which I'm not so sure it it's a good idea or not, at this time. smh. we're so fecked. wait, where's I put my optimism... it's around here somewhere.

I was curious about a specific term:

"In a pivotal stretch of testimony, David Pecker, the longtime publisher of The National Enquirer, described a 2015 meeting with Mr. Trump and his fixer at the time, Michael D. Cohen, at Mr. Trump’s midtown Manhattan headquarters.

Fixer
Noun
2. A person who uses influence or makes arrangements for another, especially by improper or unlawful means.

My point being that one doesn't need a fixer, unless one does illegal things. Can we not have criminals in places of power? Soonish?

I read in another thread that lenders have an upper limit, around $100M. So could easily use the $500M he claims to have to secure several loans, under that $100M limit to reach the $464M he owes. It's Monday, let's see how the spectacle continues.

Years Active: 2004 to present - 20 years of work, "out of nowhere". I don't really care either, but the facts say this is a significant musical career. And she doesn't seem to be slowing down. 14 albums, 14 films, 6 major tours, you can add up the live performances for yourself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Taylor_Swift_live_performances).
