analysis game, as if THAT was the reason they were able to target so well. Many have said here before, the Republicans got targeted data, and knew where it came from.

The legal analyst said the Summer Zervos case could be the one that NAILS BLOTUS because he will be deposed under oath and can't refuse to answer! He said it could END his Presidency!

It may very well be (and fitting) that it's THE WOMEN who fry his fucking ass for good!

Oh happy freakin' day.

... I just don’t see it ending his presidency. He could brag about sleeping with porn stars, playmates and Celeb App stars all day long, and republican congress members would not care because his 30% voting block would not care. The block would cheer him, and envy him for it. “That’s our alpha prez getting some fine wimmin”. And we’d hear “But Bill Clinton...” a million times. The only people who think its evidence of moral and personal failures are people who already think he is a walking example of moral and personal failure. I.e., this scandal is merely preaching to the choir.


The jeopardy to security and blackmail risk would be too nuanced to matter to them. And if he openly admitted it, he wouldn’t really be very black-mailable anyway. The fact that it is abusive behavior is lost on them.

I believe the Russian conspiracy will be his downfall. I think the affairs are a distraction really.

tRump, up to this point, has always been able to silence anyone he wanted to squelch with a NDA.
Now he might find out it is not quite so simple to make the past go away. We just might find out how many of those things he has floating around and whether they are an effective way to get people to shut up and go away. May so? Maybe no? Looks like Stormy and the other women are willing to go to court to find out how legally binding they are. Fasten your seatbelts. It may be a bumpy ride.

number in the hundreds. Every contingency is included, whether appropo to every situation, but you can bet that pregnancy/fertility clause was needed for SOMEONE, at sometime in the past. Cohen is not the only ugly, thuggy SOB who might have threatened anyone. Don't forget Schiller the bodyguard, who just split after twenty some years of pimping for Trump. He's a piece of work too.
