I worked on TONY’s for 20 years, my last time there I was assigned to Springsteen as I go back with his crew. I brought him stage left & handed him off to a stage manager just as Robert De Niro walked out to introduce Bruce. You know what happened next, truer words never spoken.

Is it possible Pecker has sex tapes on Trump? That might explain why DJT doesn’t smear Pecker.

“The decision tonight was not unanimous. Two Justices, Thomas and Alito, did not vote in favor of staying the order. It’s possible there could have been additional dissents from Justices who chose not to reveal their vote-it only takes five justices to act here.”
