“Right, but you haven’t talked to him today”
So Trump has different opinions every day? That figures.

This may not bode well for today’s “Executive Time”

But it’s too late baby, now it’s too late
Cuz Trump only knows how to fake it
Speeches are filled with lies and he can’t hide
And we just won’t take it

Do any of these “spokespeople” realize they are destroying any chance of a future career by lying to support this president.

He won’t condemn them in public for multiple reasons. Trump’s own history is an obvious one in some cases. In Porter’s case it might well be what Porter knows about trump after having worked closely with him over a good span of time.

On Friday with cameras rolling Trump defended Porter. These are not the words of someone who railed in private about Porter’s abusive behavior. The spin here is to minimize the damage done by Trump himself in his own comments to the press and in a subsequent tweet.

“We certainly wish him well. It’s obviously a very tough time for him. He did a very good job while he was in the White House.” “He says he’s innocent, and I think you have to remember that.”

Yeah, he thinks domestic violence is grotesque – unless he or one of his aides or another white man is the perpetrator.

This goober’s hair is about to achieve lift-off in this clip. Who is this guy anyway? Colonel Sanders’ half-brother?

(just googled him, and indeed, he got his start working for Huckabee in Arkansas. It figures.)

There will always be jobs as spokespeople for any number of GOP Congress members. Or for a corporation or lobbying firm. A good, or even competent, silver tongue will always command good money.

this insult to the collective intelligence when they start out a bullshit sentence with “Well obviously…”

Nothing is obvious. Especially this. Because, he’s never mumbled anything like this out of his dumb, raping mouth.

Worth remembering, Trump at his core…

If you’re a woman who has ever been sexually harassed at work, Donald Trump has some advice for you In an interview with USA Today, Trump said that if his eldest daughter Ivanka were ever treated in such a way, he “would like to think she would find another career or find another company.”

O dear. Fox and Friends put an idea in Executive Time Donnie’s head one day and then change it the next. It must be a little confusing for him to ponder while he’s getting his hair steamed.

Steamed and shellacked.

Well, obviously it is Howdy Doody time (couldn’t resist). Where do they get these human disposables to sing their praises?

What ever happened to SHS? Where is she? Don’t tell me she had some moral reservations about lying for the DV whitehouse. Nah.

Trump doesn’t know much, but he does know what he thinks about money, Russia, women and minorities. He knows that any admission about Porter will unleash a torrent of scrutiny against himself and there’s a lot out there that we don’t know. The Stormy Daniels matter was a new revelation. Pretty soon, everything comes out, including his darkest chapters.

Even the low information couch sitters have an issue with enabling spousal abusers. Chances are Trump took a bathroom break when they said it.

This guy is absurd and ridiculous. They all are. But it’s not really very funny. Authoritarian regimes deny reality, and eventually, if they become totalitarian, they’ll torture resisters until they willingly deny it too—first to make the pain stop, and eventually because they’re broken forever. We know what Trump did and didn’t say, but that freedom to know what’s real can be taken away. That’s what they’re doing. It’s absurd, and ridiculous, but it’s not unintentional. This is how it starts. Read 1984 again.

“Why won’t he say that publicly?” Kilmeade asked Gidley.

When Trump praises Porter, internal polling shows a Q-score dip among rapists and Klansmen in the base.

Which is slightly offset by a rise among wife-beaters and Nazis.

But Luntz won’t have the final focus-group numbers until at least end-of-day.
