I hope Christ her savior gets her through future indiscretions.

And even if a sex tape drops, nope.

Not sure about that. Diaper Daveā€™s wife stuck with him, but there were no tapes.

Is it just me or does TPM seem like it took a long lunch break today and never returned? Its like theyā€™re still out to lunch. They seem to be missing vitally important news today on this site.

Like maybe this:

Hereā€™s the thing about Greitens: though the stories are out there, that heā€™s completely free to live his life, says a lot about the future.

Now the stories are out there, but it takes a diligent voting base to realize whatā€™s up and seeing how the modern day NY Republican Party is about to nominate Mike Grimm, yikes.

Staten Island has always been terribly conservative. Nosy people thinking the worst about everyone. (Bad experience in college).

Now they have the worst, and itā€™s okay to vote for them. Ughly.

Oh goodieā€¦now he can ask God for forgiveness, shed a few tears and be back screwing people over in the name of the Lord. Charming.

Heā€™ll run again, and heā€™ll win some political office.

Heā€™s creepily ambitious, conventionally good looking, smart, and utterly lacking in morals or ethics. In other words, a perfect candidate for the GOP base.

And heā€™ll be sexual assaulting and blackmailing more women and still getting away with it.

Both the prosecutors are Democrats, and the AG, who is continuing to investigate and who pushed for the charge on the donor list issue is a Republican. This was not a partisan issue. Republicans wanted him out worse than did Democrats. He is a narcissistic, arrogant, lying scumbag who didnā€™t have a clue what he was doingā€¦after the fashion of the Current Occupant. The only difference is that heā€™s younger and better looking.

Missouri Republicans just wanted to get rid of this Koch Brothersā€™ carpetbagger so they could cut his too close ties to Trump. Hawley is such a weak candidate, there was no way he could run against McCaskill with this scandal hanging over their heads so they eliminated the sourceā€¦but not the real problem.

Republicans are creating more and more chaos and worry into the lives of most working Americans. Obamaā€™s strong recovery is giving voters the backbone to fight back against income inequality in the Midterms. That hasnā€™t changed. People do not like the Republican tax cut for the rich. In fact, the simmering resentment grows with each of Trumpā€™s tweets, trade wars, elimination of health insurance safeguards and the end of EPA standards that is resulting in water you canā€™t drink.

This country deserves better than Trump or the Republicans. We will get it back again. Make sure all your friends and family vote in November.

No campaign finance violations charges => no exposure of the dark money funneled into his campaign, a win for him and his party.

ā€œJackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said the she has ā€œexhausted
potential leadsā€ but had not obtained sufficient evidence to pursue
chargesā€¦ā€

Really?

She was appointed on May 21st, and sheā€™s covered ALL the leads? Already? Wow.
