On 9/11, I was scheduled to teach a computer class to Clubb employees. On my way in, I heard WNYC FM go off air at 8:46. Shaken, I was a couple of minutes late. The students all had the news up on their monitors, showing the second tower hit just as I walked in.
One student turned to another and asked "How much are we in for?" Chubb insured the building. Another didn't understand why I wanted to send everyone home. Then they wanted me to do the class over for free. And tried to only pay half the insurance claim, arguing it was one incident, not two.
It's interesting you mention 9/11. I think that it was a serious blow to the American psyche. After the dot.com bubble burst in 2000, a lot of people were hurting financially, then 9/11/01 happens and people felt absolutely afraid in their country which got amplified by "the war on terror" and the daily threat level (remember those colors) for years on end. Do you know what chronic anxiety/fear does to a person? Folks, especially those on the "right" fueled by the threat of "others", wanted a perceived strong leader and re-elected Bush. Well, the consequences of that election led to rise of ISIS, financial strain, etc. not to mention the 2008/2009 crash, which led to the election of the affable Obama, but it fueled tremendous rancor because many saw Obama as an "other." So these perceived blows to the collective psyche have been building for a very long time and have resulted in the ugliest manifestation of all: Donald.
I went into the worst depression of my life right after 9/11, partly because of the event itself, but more because I could feel the forces of repression rejoicing at the opportunity to keep us living in fear.
Wow. Just wow. On 9/11 these idiots couldn't get why the class couldn't be held? Thank you for telling us, and for your wise action of refusing to work for them again. From experience I know that losing a client can be a real pinch. But you grew in some important ways..
Pls see Seth Abramson's Proof piece on the Greenbergs. Also, involve Meidas Touch if possible. The MSM needs to report on the connections to Russia. We have to do better with the press. Thank you, Mary
He truly has no ability to restrain or filter himself. Another sure sign his cognitive status is slipping. I mean how do you have a $91million bond yet you KEEP doing the same stuff? I suspected the Chubb situation was shady in some way.
It's apparent that he will never change unless justice prevails and he finally gets the deserving black and white stripes or the orange jumpsuit he fears the most. That and his real estate holdings could shrink to as low of a level that he has.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result each time. Yep, he’s insane. Then again, maybe he’s forgotten the other two times he’s defamed E. Jean. Guess that’s senility.
Senility is an excuse. I hope he keeps doing it as she gets richer and laughs all the way to the bank. Everyone, with a brain, knows he’s an asswipe! Even his daughter ditched him! Ego-maniac who doesn’t think his 💩 stinks. 😷 His diaper sure does!!
Anyone remember when a massive stroke caught up with Joe Kennedy? He ended up confined to a wheelchair, unable to speak for many years, needing to be taken care. A rolling jail. Old Joe got to helplessly watch the eventual downfall of all his power and glory. Maybe, just maybe a similar failure of the body may soon overcome djt, for a similar humbling.
Indeed, a posit that is justifiable. He is in clear mental decline... exhibits a poor health and diet regime coupled with high stress, anxiety, and tantrums. Frankly, it would not be unreasonable to expect that he could "vapor lock" (stroke, infarction, etc) at any time.
I was raised to abhor any notion of schadenfreude...but I am willing to make an exception here as an example to all his apologists and enablers.
I suspect Russian Sex Robots have a KGB supplied medical kit with a syringe of anticlotting agent , fentanyl and methamphetamine for just such an event.
Yep, better than anyone else in the US for sure. And the rest of us were stuck with his SIL Jared holding down the fort to save us from COVID. What a joke, not funny at all !!!
From the looks of things and general comments coming from doctors, actual doctors,He is exhibiting Mini strokes already. Having witnessed first hand a stroke, I would say he's getting close.
Yes! I wonder the same thing. His diet, lifestyle and intense anger & hate should do him in any moment…and our worries would be over. Maybe it’s accelerating the dementia.
I hope so! The world will be a better place when he's no longer in it. (Of course I'd be happy to see him in prison, but I'd like to know that his influence has completely ended, and that is more likely with death.)
Unfortunately he has influenced the GOP way too much. But if DT was gone they could hopefully heal and get back to some sense of normal people, not his underlings. I'm convinced Congress and his lackeys do whatever he wants out of fear of him. He threatens them, that they will lose their standing in the Party and their jobs. Vile behavior.
Exactly! It is one of our best hopes why he won't get in the WH. It will be of his own doing too. Does he still eat lots of fast food too??? That must be hell on his body and mind.
ETTD: "Everything Trump Touches, Dies," icluding himself, which brings me some comfort. And so far, this phrase has been very accurate; Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, Rudy Giuliani, Peter Navarro, and so, so many more. Some are still out causing trouble, but eventually, everything trump touches, dies.
Then there are scores of attorneys who have either ruined their reputation, been heavily sanctioned, fined into bankruptcy, disbarred, or facing serious legal challenges. And, of course there are all the women he tried, but *failed* to break. Women, especially Black women, are his kryptonite. But for most, he is a tornado, a wrecking ball. He ruins lives without a second thought.
But, I believe his world is about to come crashing down around him. Half a billion dollars in debt, court cases piling up, a possible E. Jean Carroll defamation case #3, campaigning around the country, fast food, high blood pressure, stress, anger. He is in a rapid self-destruct cycle with a generous helping of cognitive decline and malignant narcissism thrown into the mix. If there is a goddess, she'll know what to do. If not, mother nature and karma will kick his ass.
Go to Seth Abramson, Proof, on Substack for a deep dive into the Greenbergs of Chubb, Russia and Trump. These families were linked in business and as friends for decades in NYC.
Thanks for this important piece. The Russian angle interests me most. As you likely know, Seth Abramson worked nonstop over the weekend and unearthed some very troubling information relevant to our national security. https://www.threads.net/@seth.abramson/post/C4WoJzltze1
Read about the Greenberg family's extensive Kremlin ties. As I'm sure you know, Abramson has written a number of excellent and painstakingly sourced books related to Trump and Russia. He thinks this bond is of such national security concern that he worked on this all weekend with almost no sleep. Blinking lights very Red.
Seth Abramson is a true American hero. No one works as hard as he does to get the news out about what an evil, criminal bastard trump is. I just wish the MSM would take it up asap.
No remorse, no empathy, no morals. He conferred with Musk and Orban. Did he make sense to them and present his case successfully? It hurts my heart to see someone who cares nothing about anyone else and who is completely bent on hurting everyone more.
They probably are thinking of contempt of court, but there is no order directing him not to keep defaming E. Jean. Theoretically, punitive damages are supposed to be sufficient to deter similar behavior in the future. But Donald just can't help himself.
His attorneys filed to stop the hush money election interference trial until the Supreme Court decides on presidential immunity. His problem is that he wasn’t president when he allegedly did it 😆.
I hope he will finally face justice long before November. The Supreme Court should stop enabling him as I do not wish to live through another 4 years of Trump - this time around it will be a forever dictatorship.
O yes. During time he was in office cspan had footage of adrenal flying out of his mouth (from snorting it). Also numerous reports from staff on the apprentice show.

I refused to work for them again.
Good grief. What a nightmare

Yes re: Seth Abramson’s newsletter Proof!!
see my comment about how surety works, elsewhere on this thread.
He truly has no ability to restrain or filter himself. Another sure sign his cognitive status is slipping. I mean how do you have a $91million bond yet you KEEP doing the same stuff? I suspected the Chubb situation was shady in some way.

He just doesn't care. The world has taught him he doesn't have to. One hopes that, like Wile E. Coyote, he'll finally run off the cliff and poof.
Perhaps he sees it as fodder to toss to his MAGAts so they will donate money to him to pay his bills.
A good bet
Thanks for the laugh. He’s a narcissist: in other words, a self- entered asswipe.
My dream come true
He did it again. Robbie Kaplan needs to take another big bite out of his sorry ass.
I keep wondering when the stress of his indictments, money problems and frequent campaigning will cause him to have a stroke or heart attack. 🥴
Anyone remember when a massive stroke caught up with Joe Kennedy? He ended up confined to a wheelchair, unable to speak for many years, needing to be taken care. A rolling jail. Old Joe got to helplessly watch the eventual downfall of all his power and glory. Maybe, just maybe a similar failure of the body may soon overcome djt, for a similar humbling.

Putin don't want to lose his Boy. 🤑
Yea, and he pulled thru COVID really well, like a bionic man. Why???
He received a cocktail of drugs, not available to the public. He was treated very royally.
Yep, better than anyone else in the US for sure. And the rest of us were stuck with his SIL Jared holding down the fort to save us from COVID. What a joke, not funny at all !!!
😆😆 Probably not that far-fetched.
Just read about it, not actually remembering any media coverage.
He looks like Hell!! He's sundowning mentally.
From the looks of things and general comments coming from doctors, actual doctors,He is exhibiting Mini strokes already. Having witnessed first hand a stroke, I would say he's getting close.
I hate to say this, but I’ve been wondering the same thing. How is that bloated, stressed to the max, still standing?
Yes! I wonder the same thing. His diet, lifestyle and intense anger & hate should do him in any moment…and our worries would be over. Maybe it’s accelerating the dementia.
It's got to be!... 🩵 💙 🩵
I hope to hear of it every day!
It'll be a better world without him in it!
Everyday I wake up hoping to get that phone call from my family saying
GUESS WHAT?
Ding Dong the fuckers dead!
I hope so! The world will be a better place when he's no longer in it. (Of course I'd be happy to see him in prison, but I'd like to know that his influence has completely ended, and that is more likely with death.)

One can hope
Exactly! It is one of our best hopes why he won't get in the WH. It will be of his own doing too. Does he still eat lots of fast food too??? That must be hell on his body and mind.
That mystery will be revealed when his batteries run out of juice in public. 🤣😂😅
I wish we were that lucky. He's caused so many misery and pain...and death. He deserves the absolute worst.
But his Dad loved into his 90s with worse medical care. And Dock Cheney still draws breath.
If there is a God s/he's a sick MF...

🤣🤣🤣I’ve wanted to say it but you did for me!!! Thanks! 🙏🏼
Soon I hope
And is Chubbs his insurance carrier ?
Apparently, an age-old relationship
I sincerely hope R. Kaplan & assoc. is loaded for bear. And makes the next one a nine figure ask for damages. Go for broke.
Hell yes!
what this continual repeat of the slander does mostly is really reducing his chances on appeal of arguing that his remarks were not "malicious."
Gee, I wonder if Vlad had something to do with Donald getting the bond monies, hmm....
You think? Da! (yes in Russian). And then what is DT's payback to Vlad going to be? Our country and us. Eee gads.
I am, A: not in the mood to be taken over by a foreign power,
B: Too old to learn a new language.
C: Waiting impatiently for Donald to go to prison.
Yes. Read Seth Abramson’s Substack called Proof.

Seth Abramson, also on Substack today, is a *must read* after Mary’s explanation of the Chubb Company - WOW!!
No remorse, no empathy, no morals. He conferred with Musk and Orban. Did he make sense to them and present his case successfully? It hurts my heart to see someone who cares nothing about anyone else and who is completely bent on hurting everyone more.
MSNBC legal eagles said if he continues, this could end in jail time; I just can’t recall the term for the legal justification for it.
They probably are thinking of contempt of court, but there is no order directing him not to keep defaming E. Jean. Theoretically, punitive damages are supposed to be sufficient to deter similar behavior in the future. But Donald just can't help himself.
Maybe jail will help him remember
Truth. But in a civil case you first have to have a judicial order with which he has not complied.
A muzzle would be a far more effective deterrent. That’s what they use on loudly barking dogs.
Although I'm 100% against it as used with dogs, they could also cut his vocal chords... Hmm?
Yep debark him ,I've been saying that for years
Not a muzzle.
A shock collar -- every time he barks, he gets shocked.
I wouldn't use it for a dog but I'm good with popping it on him.
Oh please; my fondest wish is to see him in an orange jumpsuit!
His attorneys filed to stop the hush money election interference trial until the Supreme Court decides on presidential immunity. His problem is that he wasn’t president when he allegedly did it 😆.
To match his hair & face 😂
Orange IS his color!
And could be a perfect match to his new outfit.
Ohh I pray 🙏 for him to go to jail forever or to succumb to cholesterol
lol
That’s good hopeful news!
I hope he will finally face justice long before November. The Supreme Court should stop enabling him as I do not wish to live through another 4 years of Trump - this time around it will be a forever dictatorship.
The SCOTUS has been bought and paid for.
Agreed 💯
SUPREME COURT is hardly SUPREME THE ELECTION DENIERS LIKE THOMAS AND HIS
COMMUNISM LOVER WIFE!
WE NEED TO RID OURSELVES OF RUMP!
Ginnie Roberts is not a Communist but rather a Nazi
I think I’d be really pissed off if I was a Chubb shareholder.
His new defense: He has dementia and in fact does not remember.
Perfect. That means he's unfit to run or get reelected.
That should take a bite out of his Presidential campaign but nothing else has so why would that?
Tfg will never allow his mental state as a defence strategy.
“Past your jail time.” 😸
PO1335809 is a bought and paid for man.
The Russians own him
I’m not surprised that Chubb has business dealings with Russia.
Well, well, well. This man is delirious.
He continues to do the same things over and over again , expecting different results. Yes that is the definition of insanity .
We know he’s mentally ill , but his inability to comprehend reality is truly disturbing. It has graduated to near unbelievable proportions.
Dementia coupled with severe Malignant Narcissism has created a monster .
Maybe he should be locked up for his own safety.
I think he is also in drugs. Seriously he is on something
O yes. During time he was in office cspan had footage of adrenal flying out of his mouth (from snorting it). Also numerous reports from staff on the apprentice show.
He should but we refuse to hold him accountable. He has learned to defy the law again and again because he can.
