1. A bad joke for sure, sorta like Alina Habba as a US Attorney

Am I the only one who figures Trump offers to give his various lawyers federal positions in lieu of paying them?

2. That's not a bad assumption, since we know how TFG hates to pay anyone

My thought has always been that since he has no political experience - unlike Joe Biden with 36 years - TFG fills these positions with the few people he knows, those he's seen on Fox, friends of relatives or the numerous lawyers he's hired to defend him in all the lawsuits he's faced. But, that said, there's no reason that we couldn't both be right.

3. Why does the orange con man like Nosferatu look-alikes?

Stephen Miller looks like Nosferatu. Emil Bove looks like Nosferatu. Rudy Giuliani looks like Nosferatu, not in every light or from every angle, but sometimes. I wonder if they sleep upside down and hanging by their feet.
