A long-time activist against Trump’s golf course in Scotland (courses, actually. He apparently has several), walked across the green, dropped trou and took a whiz. She says she got caught short and hid discreetly in the dunes, but was filmed doing it by three men including the groundskeeper. The latter, having every right to think some kind of crime was happening before him, called the cops. Money quote:
She added she was “shocked” to be told by police she had been filmed, leaving her “slightly paranoid” about urinating outside.
Dear Scottish woman: I would like you to be very paranoid about peeing outside. In fact, I’d rather you didn’t pee outside at all. Thanks.
She sued him because the course was not registered with the Information Officer. Yes, that’s a thing. You have to do it if your business takes pictures of the public. I had to register our little historical society because we have CCTV.
Trump could have found the £3,000 she sought in the folds of his cardigan — I’m sure he does laps in his money pool like Scrooge McDuck — but then the next publicity-hungry activist would probably have taken a poo in the clubhouse. Oh, and she lost.
I’m not sure why the opposition is not getting it. If they keep REEEEing at every little thing Trump does, but the time he makes a serious error (and, let’s face it, the chances of that are non-zero), nobody will be listening. Age of wonders, folks.

I’m sure the information office has CCTV security cameras. But in order to have cameras it would have to register with itself. But it couldn’t be open for business and register itself without registering with itself first. Somebody needs to go to prison for this shocking violation of the law.

OT. New York Times interview with Bela Fleck. Lovely personal solo performances. Especially at 29:30. The URL is so long that I hesitate to cut and paste, but here it is.
