    I have 6, possibly 7 amazing replies to this post, but it’s not worth me losing my job over! Sigh......

    Some years ago I interviewed for a job at a start up. They didn't hire me. But the manager told me they had received funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, adding that people really like Melinda Gates. I thought the omission was interesting.

    Yes, it’s my fault that they made it public. Fuck Bill Gates. I wonder if he mourned for his best pal Epstein.

    Apparently, no prenup. Don't Washington divorce laws greatly favor the wife?

    I find hypocrisy to be a rather unbecoming trait in a person. No surprise that you feel the women around Trump, including his wife, are mindless l, robotic “appendages.” Partisan hatred is so destructive. What’s it like allowing a politician to upset you this much? Seems odd to me.

    This you?

    Trump always wants his female appendages standing behind him clapping robotically but no one has seen Melania at any of his ego feeds lately.

    I don't see any logic behind your hatred of Bill Gates.

    He was trying to maintain control of Microsoft after Paul Allen died rather than letting somebody in Paul's family have an equal share.

    He wasn't trying to take anything from Paul Allen.

    Whatever arrangements between them and not so former girlfriend were between consenting adults. As it's been going on for at least 27 years, it's not news. Seems the only reason to drag it into the public now is to humiliate Melinda. Not really into kicking people when they're down, except for Trump.

    Obviously Bill implanted his first microchip in Miranda's brain already!

    Well, they are public figures and as such they are fair game for being talked about.
    Personally, I don't like Bill's arrangement if there was one. But I take no delight in kicking good people either when they're up or when they're down.

    ps Doesn't matter to me whether he's up or down I delight in belittling Trump 24/7. You've gotta admit he's earned it.

    So you're saying that you feel the same about Trump as you do about Gates?

    Sorry, just trying to keep up here.

    Bingo. However, there appears to be a degree of attraction awarded to a rich man which we poor suckers do not enjoy.
