If the media is going to continuously refer to Stephanie Daniels as the "Porn Star" they need to refer to Donald Trump as "The Rapist" among many other titles.

Do not EVER EVER read or listen to ANYTHING uttered by Trump propaganda parrot, the Magamaggot Maggie Haberman of the New York Times-Slimes. She is a Hannity in female clothing. She is a spin doctor. Listening or trusting her is as unhealthy to your sanity as listening to Tucker Fuckered Carlson!

You know Trump is soooooooooooo jealous of Obama. He wanted to be Obama. He wanted the respect and affection of millions. Instead, he fashioned himself a cult of hateful idiots, while hundreds of millions mock him and despise him.

I wonder if flash polls could become a thing, kinda like flash mobs. As soon as a fact check like this goes out a flash poll goes out to get more info.
Flash poll results: 87% of those polled do in fact think trump is a whoremonger.

I am happy to announce we have updated Accuracy Alerts to fact-check an unlimited number of claims within a single spout. Accuracy Alerts is a major leap forward in mitigating the spread of mis/disinformation on social media platforms.

I can't believe she didn't use profanity before now. I've been cursing like a sailor since 2016. I don't know how anyone survives this Trump era without the f-word in their vocabulary.

The same people who've been convinced to distrust the government in almost all its forms are also seem to desire an authoritarian, unitary executive with ultimate power and no legal accountability.
How are they not self-aware enough to see that contradiction?

Because Trump hates the same people they hate & it was never really about government per se. It was about resenting that government might help people they hate.
He validates their belief that their own shitty lot in life is the fault of the right "others", so unchecked supreme power is just groovy.

Intellectually you are correct. Logically you are on track. But Trump is a master huckster, which he has blended seemlessly with AgitProp. He is very good at a stream of words to induce a FEELINGS to engage those who like the fealiings into a stream of emotionally driven actions.

The Girl With The Nixon Tattoo posted a picture to convince the maga believers that somehow New Jersey is in play, after Trump spoke to an audience there that ran away after an hour of his babbling. Problem is, Roger Stone did not post photo from Jersey, he posted pic of Brazil

Attorney and former Trump fixer Michael Cohen--now likely the star witness in Trump's criminal trial--has taken the stand, under subpoena.
In giving his background, Cohen tells the jury he never really wanted to be a lawyer, but that his family of lawyers demanded it.

Cohen says he eventually got Ivanka's old office on the 26th floor of Trump Tower New York & $375K/year.
He says his duties included "whatever HE wanted." (Emphasis his.)
Cohen says he negotiated Trump's bills & found it "exciting."

Remember when the DNC was hacked? The RNC was also hacked and I think that trump has been using all of that info to make the R party get behind him, even when they didn't want to. He has all of their dirt.
