It’s such a killer come-back. Works for every occasion!

Now is the time for Joe to release his evidence, and if he has the evidence he claims he does, Donnie is in a shitload of trouble, as is the Enquirer. I can see lawyers lining up in droves on this one.
Thanks, Paula Jones!

I don’t know why I would be surprised. Trump is a criminal and this is how criminals behave.

Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

This is how mad dictators act…or insecure people with very small hands.

Yes, This story doesn’t include Joe’s claim that he has texts from WH officials. Plus his phone records that show he hasn’t talked to Trump in a long time, contrary to Trump’s claims.

At this rate, the articles of impeachment will stretch to NASA’s child slave colony on Mars and back.

(Also, it would be tragicomic to see someone removed from office for blackmailing morning news hosts because he wanted their love.)

What makes me laugh my ass off is every time Trump has a slight advantage - like the CNN retraction of that Russia story that Trump was going to work to death - he always fucks it up because he can’t keep his goddamned mouth shut and can’t keep away from Twitter, and he always thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room, and always hires people who are even more stupid and clueless (i.e., Kellyanne, Reince, etc.) than he is, because he cannot stand the very thought of ANYONE in this world being smarter or better in any way than he is. He’s like Palin with a micropenis.
Not that I’m complaining about this fact, mind you.

“No one controls the editorial decision making process at the National Enquirer other than me,” he says

Are we supposed to believe that there is some kind of editorial or ethical standard being applied at the National Enquirer?

The answer to that would be a resounding NO.

Everything is shocking and disgusting with him, but no longer surprising. Something surprising would be if he exhibited a positive human trait. If he behaved with decency, just once.
