Do we know whether Trump actually deducted this as a business expense on his taxes? It seems the payments were out of his trust or personal accounts rather than out of his business accounts which would seem somewhat unusual if it was going to be treated as a business expense. Trump's financial cont...

In this case, the judge actually has been vengeful, political, and not even bothered with an appearance of a fair trial. I disagree. I know that Trump has claimed that, day after day, but that's what Trump does - he politicizes the trial. The judge, on the other hand, really did not. Trump has prom...

Déjà vu. That seems to be the handy way it works with this particular former president. When he wins - justice prevails. When he loses - the system is rigged. Heads - I win. Tails - you lose. It will be interesting to watch the sentencing and appeals processes. I doubt the verdict affects the elect...

I used to drive between Lansing and Detroit every night, working as a courier for a bank. In the winter, the highways might be officially closed due to bad weather. I used that CB constantly when the weather was bad enough. I can still fall into CB-talk from time to time, and fondly remember that ba...

The original topic here was that Christian girls in some church circles don’t want to marry a guy who’s slept with a dozen women (despite frequent attempts to derail it and change the topic to the opposite). I think we should respect anyone who feels that way. I also think we should preach redempti...

I think it is unfair how society views promiscuity between men and women. If a guy sleeps with a dozen women, he's a stud and idolized in a sense. If a lady does that, she's labeled as being "easy" or worse. Is that true in our circles, though? I think most of us believe that the Bible ha...

If you bring it up beforehand, maybe there’s a risk that the girl or the guy will reject you, but otherwise, you can work through it with a marriage counselor/pastor and I think that openness and honesty will reduce the chance of it ever coming back or otherwise affecting your marriage. If you can'...

Marriage is always a great risk. You really are entrusting your life to another person at a very deep level. I have known various people who married a person with a promiscuous past who have had solid lifelong marriages. The past wasn't denied or hidden, it was repented of, and the person was livin...

I rather enjoyed reading this book, set in Northern California:

Especially when they shot the car into San Francisco Bay ...

I assume Trump counts as an important person. He does seem to still sign checks. That is obvious in what I quoted in the OP. Did you understand my question in the OP? Maybe I did not make it clear. I'm wondering how common it is for important people, including Presidents to sign "bundles of ch...
