I wish I could get paid $50bn to have a mental breakdown.

Pretty sure most people would have a mental breakdown if given 50 billion.

Imagine if pretending to be your friend was basically a fortune 500 size industry.

I remember when we thought we could just pay Trump 1-2 billion to go away. That would've been a good deal and is cheap in retrospect. And maybe Biden should have pardoned him immediately to kick the can down the road on SCOTUS deciding to allow Presidential immunity.. It probably would've happened anyway but it would've given the project2025 and Thiel libertarians less time to organize.

Didn't work for Neville Chamberlain, I don't think it would have worked for us.
