I got an email notice from the NNA (National Notary Association) today. Very interesting. It seems not only did trumpski not sign his agreement with Stormy Daniels, he had it "fake" notarized. Now the notary is likely going to have her commission revoked.

Here's the bit that had me giggling. I took down the address information for the notary, plugged that into Google, and got ..... (drum roll please) ... a UPS Store.

Right. So I'm to believe that trumpski gets his agreements notarized at the local UPS Store, or a Quicky Mart, whichever is closer? That whole organization is the Keystone Cops of criminals. Dumber than dirt.

Apparently, this person's notary stamp was used but the rest wasn't filled in properly. How much can we bet that the actual notary did not do this, which would likely have caused them to lose their job.

1. The 'Hits'. They just keep a-comin', don't they.

'The Lucky Strike Hit Parade'.

Was on the teevee back then.

Waaay back then. 😄

2. I remember that!

The teevee was small and black & white.

3. The next greatest thing after white bread.

New fandangled contraption! Hey, anyone who got one first when they arrived on the scene was 'hot stuff' in the 'hood!

My how we've 'evolved'.

Twas nice reminiscing the past, but were we being blinded then also?

Remember 'pagers'? Hahah. "Page me, baby!" Whatta hoot.

6. It was pager "talk"

that alerted me to my narcissist husband's cheating. Actually, it was my 14 year old daughter who understood what the numbered code actually read. It was "I love you". From my kid's babysitter. You know, the 19 year old who spent the night in my house to watch the kids while I was out of town.

9. I'm sorry for that.

I said it in that manner bc of those candy hearts for Valentine's Day that said current stuff. Page Me, Fax Me, etc.

Now it's Tweet Me, Text Me, IM Me, etc.

I don't remember if any said like, Hep Cat or Cool Man.....

4. Dint mean to derail your thread. Apologies.

It's non-stop all day, every day.

Not just bizarre. Dangerous!

Some need to meet their 'Waterloo'.

5. N/T

Not to defend this, but most UPS stores actually offer notary services.

7. Most large businesses have

a notary in house. I was one. It made the whole notary deal convenient for our customers as well as for ourselves.

8. Not to mention....

that just about every Attorney's Office has a Notary on staff, usually one of the paralegals (who do the lion's share of the work for the Attorney's) so why they'd need a document to be Notarized at a UPS Store kind of puzzles me. I suppose there could be legitimate reasons for it, but the Notary not filling the form in correctly is highly suspect.

10. It does sound kinda hokey. eom

12. Trying to hide the IDs of signers and lawyers...

So used a fake notary fro UPS. Even the UPS person should have recorded IDs though.

[radical noodle]

17. I wasn't disputing that

Yes, many places offer notary services, but even small businesses often have their own notary... I was a notary for 40 years and always for a small business with less than 50 employees. It's hard to believe that Trump's rep would actually go to a UPS store to get a contract notarized. Once again, it proves what a shady bunch this is.

11. While the help was away from the counter

He reached over and grabbed the stamp. Bam, done and out.

[mr_lebowski]

13. Probably lawyer discreetly places a c-note where only they can see, then the notary 'grabs coffee' .

You know, at the UPS down the street from Trump Tower or some such. They have a 'arrangement' where the lawyer 'borrows' the stamp for a minute for a nice crisp hundo.

Cause that's what kinda small-time, low-rent, penny-ante assholes the Trump Admin consists of.

14. Meanwhile the GOP goes after HRC again. Shameless aholes.

Protecting the top ahole.

15. It's clearly an invalid agreement

Trump's lawyers can parse the language all they want, it remains unenforceable. He didn't sign it. The notary public screwed up. Case closed.

He does not get his way with this just because he is rich or has power. He failed in the simplest part of this sham agreement which makes it null and void. Stormy Daniels is free to say whatever she wants and to spend the $130,000 Cohn forked over.

16. Quick! Call Lance Parkertip, Noted Notary Public!
