As with most unsavory moments in the Trump administration often play out, the American public quickly moved on in October when President Trump, in front of thousands of supporters, acted out having an orgasm while pretending to be former FBI agent Peter Strzok yelling the name of ex-FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
in the throes of publicly fantasizing having sex with MS. PAGE!!!.. clearly indicates this man must be confined to wherever he is safe and to prevent him from harming others…
Trump is an abusive and sick man. His supporters are as well.

I never thought I would see this happen in a modern US, but the Republican Party has officially become vocal and powerful fifth column partners of the Nation’s Russian/Soviet opponent. They (the “Moral Majority”) started on this path back in the 1970’s perhaps in response to the population formally recognizing social and racial inequalities (and we’re by no means there yet with lots remaining to accomplish) and felt it a necessary path to remain in power and control. Their voice was disproportionately heard, as the silence of moderates in the party fueled this extreme factions success. Their message was designed to resonate with a subsection of the rural population, who appear to view their decreasing clout as targeting their self worth. Programs designed to serve as a safety net for all were touted as helping “those who don’t deserve it”. People have forgotten who fought for Social Security benefits, Medicare and Medicaid, unemployment insurance, head-start and education reform, started the still unfinished war on poverty, and recognized environmental issues - it wasn’t the extreme faction of the Republican Party now in control as actual history and facts show. Over the past 50 years, wealthy backers supported a misinformation campaign using the print and airwaves to feed their targets what amount to outright lies and distortions so they can continuously get these voters to support the Republican Party against these same voters’ best interests. What we are now seeing is just “mission creep”, as each decade the Republican Party goes further and further away from the best interests of the US population. The current Republican Party’s actions in both the House and Senate now fully expose the depths of their decay. The Republican Party, i.e., its current members and voted leadership, are siding with Russian adventurism within our borders and are willing to tolerate it to maintain their position. Wow - isn’t this the definition of a form of treason? Members of the Republican Party have clearly demonstrated that they will stop at nothing to save themselves over the best interests of the country. They will continue to attack and use disinformation to discredit anyone that challenges them. It appears that we have long passed the point of a political debate based on policy differences and entered into survival mode. The spotlight has been turned on them and they are lashing out. It remains important for the free press to stay on message, focus the discussion on the real issues, and don’t allow misdirection and lies to stay unchallenged. The Republicans are looking for a way out to save their hides. Their unacceptable lies regarding the actions of career individuals who serve this country are despicable, and will only get worse over the next few months. Keep the light on the issues, focus on facts, and tie the entire Republican Party to this problem. They own it and deserve the consequences. Yet another challenging issue for the Democratic Party is to accept the fact that the “Marquess of Queensberry rules” do not hold in this situation (certainly the Republican Party has demonstrated this time after time after time again), and that this challenge must be recognized and defeated while maintaining the rule of law.
While IG Michael Horowitz is expected to criticize at least one low-level FBI lawyer — who altered a document in his FISA court request to surveil Carter Page — the report is largely expected to exonerate Page of any wrongdoing, a finding she’s maintained since the IG first opened a review of her text messages.
This is interesting: recall that DOJ initially said that witnesses interviewed for the IG report were initially permitted to review the Report, but not to file written comments or corrections. That order was reversed as soon as it became public. If Ms Page was permitted to review the report and indicate (subtly, no doubt) that she is “likely” to be cleared, that’s no doubt how this comes down.
I wonder if anyone has the cojones to imitate Melania in the same way that Trump parodied Lisa Page. One can imagine the grunts, the protestations that his breath smells like KFC, and that he has to get off her 'cause she can’t breathe. How far would that go?
Maybe not so safe. Emotionally I am not so much into the idea that we should guarantee that. Lets do an ROI on that and see what it gives us. Past debts, including support and resource costs for extraneous Golf and Trump properties visits should be factored in. Also cleaning and renovating all facilities used by him and his family. Convince me that we need to take any measures to ensure his continued longevity and intact-ness.
This was a very good interview. Perhaps the best one in terms of describing how the abuse by someone with such power is felt and experienced.
It convinced me that the thing to do for any target of Trump’s wrath is to hit back immediately and to embarrass him. It never helped Page to be silent (she didn’t have a choice though for legal reasons). But for anyone else who gets personally targeted by Trump, just hit back and expose him. Going silent doesn’t make you any less exposed to risk. Hitting him causes him to make mistakes and that might push him away from attacking you, and might also open up new lines of investigation.
WHAAAT??? You’d trade all this winning for compassionate, gracious, smart, historically grounded leadership like we had with that black guy? You’re sh***ing me, right?
