Can you imagine the non-stop howling if anyone even remotely connected to the Hillary campaign cut short an interview on any topic? Now imagine if it were Chelsea or Bill.

Yes, there’d be nonstop, round the clock coverage from every possible angle, no matter how slight.

Now imagine that happening with this.

And stop laughing already.

For some reason, after reading this story about Supreme Dickhead, Jr. and his clueless non-response to the question, basically “Gee, I just helped run the foundation. How the hell would I know what the fuck was going on?”, I kept thinking about the famous Malibu Stacy episode of “The Simpsons” in which guest star Kathleen Turner, playing Stacy Lovell, the creator of the doll Malibu Stacy, when asked by Lisa why she can’t change the doll when she owns the company, to which Lovell replies, “Not since I was forced out in 1974. They said my way of thinking just wasn’t cost effective. Well, that, and I was funneling profits to the Viet Cong.”

Farenthold reported Wednesday that if Trump did not find a “charitable use” for the $20,000 painting, then its purchase may have been an instance of “self-dealing,” which could result in the imposition of penalties on both Trump and the foun

Only charitable use I can think of is if he burned it. Otherwise…

Thanks Obama…for bringing it up the other day!

12,000 pages of Trump’s taxes is just TOO MUCH for little ole’ America to handle, but 30,000 pages of Hillary’s emails are perfectly OK! In fact, Russian hackers should try to get more!

Got it.

Like all bullies, they are simply cowards. Run away when the heat is on…again, I ask, what kind of mind would support this candidate? Yes, I already know the answer, but it’s highly disturbing.

Trump: “No, I don’t know anything about that.”

Reporter: “So how come you didn’t know about it?”

Everyone should be following Farenthold’s reporting on Trump. It’s been stellar and he is someone the NYT could learn from, an actual journalist doing actual work by just digging through the publicly available information on Trump’s “charity”.
