#BREAKING SCOOP re: TRUMP’S ALLEGED EPSTEIN BDAY LETTER: The Wall Street Journal reporter who broke the “blockbuster” story alleging a letter Trump wrote to Epstein for his 50th birthday included some tawdry elements previously worked for Main Justice (his only prior reporting experience listed in his bio).
Main Justice was Glenn Simpson’s wife’s publication. Simpson founded Fusion GPS, which was paid by Hillary Clinton/the DNC (through Perkins Coie) to produce the Steele Dossier at the center of the Russian hoax against Trump.
Both Glenn Simpson and his wife, Mary Jacoby, worked for the Wall Street Journal before launching their own enterprises.
Trump is now suing the Wall Street Journal over the “blockbuster” letter story, arguing that it’s bogus and they never showed him it so he could comment.
And from the comments is this little gem:
1. I never thought I'd hear you say something like that.
2. In my defense, my statement was completely interrogative. I offered an either/or question, didn't I?
That certainly makes for an interesting metaphor. Someone should email that to Joe Scarborough and see how fast he mentions this on the air.It's also the name of Hitler's German shepherd...
I'm only sure that one attacks on command. IDK about the other...That certainly makes for an interesting metaphor. Someone should email that to Joe Scarborough and see how fast he mentions this on the air.
Not hard for me to figure out which is which. Buddy of mine had a GS and that thing was the laziest piece of fur you've ever seen. Once, I witnessed my friend put food in Buster's bowl and that lazy dog just laid there and looked at it from across the room. Finally Greg picked the bowl up and brought it to him and only then would he eat. Needless to say, commanding him to attack anything was laugh-out-loud ridiculous.I'm only sure that one attacks on command. IDK about the other...
Yes, and Donald Trump donated money almost exclusively to Democrats, too, but I'm supposed to act like anything he ever did is off limits. Then he turned around and nominated Democrats to run DNI and HHS.
I think I'm seeing a pattern here....but for some reason his sycophants suddenly develop permanently separate brain lobes when it comes to Dear Leader.
Again - why would Walmart have to eat tariffs that are being paid by other countries?
But we also know for sure why this guy has filed for bankruptcy six times - he apparently was running Casino Charities ("not charge valued customers ANYTHING") as opposed to, you know, a business.

Are we sure that Trump posted that and not Bernie Sanders? That post has socialist economic policies all over it. I am sure MAGA is against it, right?
The question is whether or not it survives him. In the case of most other personality cults, it had not...
True.
When the Heir Apparent takes his seat at the head of the table, he's treated largely like a cover band.
I wonder if the Republican Party as an entity is not at the same place the Democrats were in the late 70s headed into the early 80s. No, they didn't have a personality cult heading the party, but the fact they controlled so much of the government at each level persuaded them to IGNORE reality until it hit them in the face, bottoming out finally in 1994 when they lost everything except the White House, which was held by a guy who didn't exactly hold to their 70s/80s viewpoints on things but needed the implosion to happen to attempt to rebuild the party into something more appealing nationally (which he largely did).
This is the lack of brain function I cannot stand with MAGA.
Trump can say garbage Sanders would say and it's somehow "bad" when it's Bernie but "wow, what a business genius" when it's Forrest Trump.
Exactly. After each loss, their cry seems to be "We didn't go left enough." You hear it all the time now. All I can do is observe that the last two successful Democratic presidents were centrists. I consider myself a centrist, probably a RINO. I consider today's entire Republican as "RINO." Three billion deficit? Republican? Good God! Gimme a break. MAGA is no more Republican than Hitler's party was "socialist." (Part of the Nazi name; bet few even know that.)
Socialism has the goal (theoretically) of helping everyone. Trump's post is only about Trump trying to duck any responsibility for the consequences of his policies.
This reminds me of a story from the 1984 campaign.
Ohio Senator John Glenn (by all accounts a centrist who leaned left) probably administered more damage to former VP Walter Mondale than anyone else when he declared Mondale to be "the candidate of the special interests." In an effort to pull Mondale closer to the center and off the limb that was sure to break, they sent a political consultant to Mondale to let him know he needed to pull back. The consultant went back to the party and was asked what happened.
Consultant: "I told him he needed to learn how to say 'no' to some people."
Party Guy: "And what happened?"
Consultant: "He said 'no' to ME."
Nobody is saying the Dems need to nominate Barry Goldwater - but the moment you point out someone like AOC or Bernie is far out of the political mainstream across the country, that's what some of their loudest voices hear.
I think the single worst contributor to the Republican dive into deficits wasn't even the Reagan tax cut of the 80s simply because his tenure CAN be viewed through the prism of a Cold War we couldn't afford to lose.
I think the most horrific decision ever made by a Republican President especially with his party controlling both houses was to flush $4 TRILLION down the commode named Iraq. At least in the 80s, Democrats ran the House and we could go with, "we'll go with your military buildup but you're not cutting a dime of social spending", which is basically what happened.
Dubya enacted an unnecessary tax cut, plunged us neck deep into Afghanistan (which at least was understandable) and then decided Saddam Hussein needed killing so there. Once the Democrats took over in 2009, it was VERY easy for them to act upon, "Hey, these are the social spending levels already, all we want to do is raise some taxes and move defense spending into healthcare" (simplified for this post, of course).
The snotty-nosed brat who never takes the witness stand out of fear thinks a judge can somehow "make" Kohlenberger talk.

Gee, folks, I'm old enough to remember when GYP office holders said, "that's for the local authorities."

Let's be crystal clear: there is obviously something bad bad BAD in those "Epstein Files." He is throwing everything he can think of against the wall in hopes of distracting attention from it.
- he's filed a lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch
- he called for releasing "pertinent" "grand jury" info on Epstein
- he then decided to tell the Redskins to change their name
- then he decided to tell a judge what to do
- and now he is flooding the zone by releasing the FBI's files on Martin Luther King
Which is funny given Trump told me for years you can't believe a damn word the FBI says......

Trump administration released FBI records on MLK Jr. despite his family’s opposition
The Trump administration has released records of the FBI’s surveillance of Martin Luther King Jr., despite opposition from the slain Nobel laureate’s family and the Civil Rights group that he led until his 1968 assassination.

I must be missing something. The headline says the family was opposed to this, but I saw nothing in the article to suggest it.Trump administration released FBI records on MLK Jr. despite his family’s opposition

Then again, this is the Associated Press we're talking about here, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
