We know how that turned out for Bill, and it won’t turn out any better for Robert Hu, who is obviously playing up to Trump. His passive-aggressive attack on Biden may as well be an application for the AG job, if Trump wins in November. Hu’s report should be all the proof the MAGA crowd needs to see the DOJ isn’t acting on Biden’s orders, but of course they don’t see it that way.
Trump, the king of business bankruptcies and welching on his debts, has this admonition for NATO member nations.
“You didn’t pay? You’re delinquent?” Trump recounted saying. “No I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You gotta pay. You gotta pay your bills.”
Deadbeat Donald’s reputation for stiffing people is such that his lawyers — the good ones, anyway — have reportedly insisted on pre-payment of not only a retainer, but their anticipated fees.

The “Murder in Boston” videos can’t be embedded, but there is this 9-part podcast that goes into even more detail about the crime and its aftermath. Episode 8 examines the media’s role in the debacle, including some well-deserved criticism of Boston Globe columnist Mike “Southie” Barnicle.
After baseball became integrated, racial prejudice was a factor in why the Red Sox failed to win the World Series until twenty years ago, when the team had new owners.
The notorious Whitey Bulger conducted his criminal activities with impunity in Boston, while his brother Billy was president of the Massachusetts Senate. Whitey got the death he deserved, and Billy turned 90 five days ago.
The ultimate example of Boston’s failed leadership was the favoritism that was shown to the Catholic Church. A blind eye was turned to the child sex abuse done by some priests over many decades.
