Although I have had gout, and it is terrible. There have been a few times I wanted to just amputate my foot. So maybe this kind of torture will change Manafort's perspective?

It really does work. Drink small glasses daily or whatever feels comfortable.

sounds like a medieval disease. Reminded me of who is galt? Manafort and Graham make a lovely couple of enablers.

8. It's a type of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in the joints

The uric acid builds up and forms crystals between the joints, most often the big toe, but it could spread anywhere in the foot or even up to the knee. It causes swelling and massive pain. You cannot walk. You crawl on your knees. You cannot even stand to have the weight of a sheet over your feet. It is BAD!

14. tempting to let this rest

...but it may or may not be due to gluttony.

Much of the cause for an increasing number affected, including Manafort, may be genetics.


Slate:

...Manafort’s gout is not necessarily caused by culinary gluttony. As the Guardian points out, citing a recent meta-analysis of nearly 17,000 people, eating “only lentils and muesli” doesn’t make you immune to the disease. The researchers found that eating foods that are associated with spurring gout did not have nearly much of an effect on uric acid levels as genetics. There but for the grace of a single nucleotide variation go we...

13. Criminals depressed from their crimes
Sun Jan 13, 2019, 11:36 AM
Jan 2019

Becoming exposed and held accountable isn't anything new. Being captured and having justice exposing the truth against them is driving those involved to many conditions from the stress having to pay for what they've done , and feeling sorry for them isn't an option for me. They deserve what they get for their being criminals. Consequences are a bitch. Manafort will die in prison because of HIS own criminal and corrupt ways. No one forced him into this, and was from his own bad choices. No pity for any of these people involved.
