That’s so depressing. They were both pretty young women- in an open, endearingly vulnerable way. Now…I hope they didn’t do it only because DJT pushed them to.

Saying Trump is “not well” is like calling the ocean damp.

In the immortal words of J. Wellington Wimpy, I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Eating a meal is nice when you don’t have to clean up or do the dishes afterward.
Begging the question is a logical fallacy in which the conclusion is stated as part of the premise.
It does not involve an actual question.
As for the “attempted blackmail,” it;s possible that they thought it silly or that they didn’t want to make themselves the story.
You’ll have to ask them why they didn’t mention it—but be aware that lots of folks with knowledge of assorted activities don’t talk about it.

It is a sign of how screwed up things are that people are treating the National Enquirer as if it were a real news outlet. It probably is real news to many Trump voters, and apparently to Trump, who thinks he can blackmail someone by threatening to have a negative story printed there. That’s like doing a stick-up with a water pistol. He is delusional.
It is very telling that the NE will print what Trump wants them to. The NE is his Pravda. How fitting.
Now, I was wondering if he also has these in his bathrooms?

TV or not TV: that is the question:
Whether 'tis crazier in the mind to twitter
The slings and arrows of outrageous Mika
Or, to take arms against a slew of foreigners
And by opposing increase my popularity?
To cry, to tweet;
To tweet: perchance to scream: ay there’s the babysitter…

Donald Trump is mentally ill and unfit for office.
Impeach.
Agreed
Melania in particular. Her before picture was lovely. Her after picture looks painful and unhappy.

I think you have hit the nail on the head with ‘dumb-animal puzzlement’. He has done nothing but sign executive orders trying to roll back all things Obama and he either a) doesn’t realize he’s doing it or b) believes EVERYTHING he does is ‘ok’…There is absolutely NO self awareness of his actions and therefore no understanding of why everyone would turn on him.

I would like to tell assorted knuckleheads that chucking an entire McDonalds bag of fast food refuse out their car window while sitting at an intersection merits summary execution. Is that OK?

“Begging the question” is not a logical fallacy, it is simply a rhetorical device.
I wonder who else in the media the White House has tried to blackmail, maybe successfully?
There really is no excuse that justifies not reporting on a story of attempted blackmail by the White House, particularly when the show’s hosts have first hand knowledge of it.
Thinking that the story was “silly” or not wanting to make themselves part of the story are not good enough.
And I cannot ask them, so I am asking the question here.

More on the Blackmail attempt by Dumblefuck:
On Morning Joe Friday morning, the now-engaged pair offered details about the allegation.
“We got a call from the White House that the National Enquirer is going to run a negative story against you guys. Donald is friends with the guy who runs the National Enquirer,” Scarborough said, claiming he received multiple calls from three individuals at the top of the Trump administration saying the president would call the Enquirer’s owner David Pecker and spike the story if he personally apologized to him for Morning Joe’s coverage.
“That’s blackmail,” Morning Joe co-host Donnie Deutsch said.
“They were pinning the story on my ex-husband,” Brzezinski added, “And I knew he would never do that. So I knew it was a lie and they had nothing. These calls persisted for quite some time. They were threatening. They were calling my children.”
“These calls persisted for quite some time. Then Joe had the conversations that he had with the White House where they said, ‘This could go away,” Brzezinski said. “Our response, after talking to my ex-husband, talking to Joe, talking to my kids, was ‘screw it, let them run it.'”
