Lots of people pay $100,000,000 for a house that wouldn't sell for $40,000,000
and then bulldoze it.

But really what about HRC's emails?

Trump, Russian billionaire say they’ve never met, but their jets did — in Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Five days before the November election, a Russian billionaire’s jet wheeled to a stop at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

Less than 90 minutes later, Donald Trump’s campaign jet arrived on the same tarmac for an afternoon campaign rally in nearby Concord.

Who was aboard Dmitry Rybolovlev’s luxurious jet and whether the planes’ near-simultaneous arrival facilitated another previously undisclosed Russian contact with Trump, his family or campaign associates remain unanswered questions.

The White House dismisses the matter as conspiratorial. A spokesman for Rybolovlev declined to say why he was in Charlotte. But their jets shared the tarmac at Charlotte for several hours before Trump left for a 7 p.m. rally near Raleigh on the same day.

Or (like me) play too damned much Dungeons and Dragons (although there is a huge difference between 'The Belle Epoque' and 'Schmendrick the Magician's Place').
