Oh god.

During his testimony, he often sat with his shoulders slumped and his hands clasped between his legs. On occasion, he crossed his arms over his chest and looked down his nose.

Like a toddler being called on his misbehavior.

Trump testified that he believed he was worth more than his financial statements reflected, concluding: “Therefore, you have no case.”

"I said it so it's TRUUUUUU!" What is this shit? "It's fake and gay and so are you!"

“I have a castle,” he said at another.

And I have a racecar bed. Jesus fucking Christ.

“I am being forced to take the witness stand tomorrow in a SHAM trial...

He never had to take the stand in the first place. He didn't even have to be in the courtroom.

He never had to take the stand in the first >place. He didn't even have to be in the courtroom.

I thought he did have to take the stand, but didn't have to be there for the rest of the trial. AFAIK he's compelled to testify (or take the fifth, but he and the kids have to do one or the other).

I'm sure he meant that "it is" the oil capital of Europe; but I choose to believe that he was agreeing with the judge that it is irrelevant.

Why not both.

Is Aberdeen still fucked for housing like it was a decade ago? I had a miserable time trying to rent when I lived there because the offshore folk went at the market like vultures.

I was at uni there for 4 years and it was extremely expensive to rent. It was getting close to St Andrews at one point. I left in 2015.

Friends who stayed after the oil crash in 2016 ended up getting phone calls from their landlords asking them if they can reduce the amount of rent they need to pay in exchange to stay for an extra year.

Haha, that was right after I left! Damnit!

I would imagine a Norwegian city is bestowed that dubious honour?
