Showing Original Post only (View all)Do you understand how hard this is for Donnie Dipshit [View all]
He thought this would work just like it does in his miserable life.
In his feeble mind, he did all these judges a "favor", and they "owe" him.
All his life he's survived because he "owns" people.
If it's a construction permit approve, threaten his family or bribe them.
If it's a bank, slip them some kickbacks.
If it's a politician, hook him up with one of Epsteins girls.
His entire life has been about being able to leverage people. Whether by bribary, blackmail, extortion, bullying or grift.
He honestly believes that he did these judges a solid, so he "owns" them.
It must just piss him off that he's not able to snap his fingers and get what he wants.

It's harder to cheat the higher up the food chain - it's more competitive.
