Not a good look that Cohen overcharged the Trump Org on the RedFinch reimbursement.

The man really is a weasel. No wonder he wasn't allowed anywhere near the White House.

Trump fakes polls, pays rally attendees and provably lies most of the time. Why did the MSM let that all slide during the 2016 campaign?

I’m so glad public libraries already exist. Could you I magine trying to sell the idea of libraries to politicians in 2024?

“You want to build a large public complex on prime real estate that gives away free books & education & community events—paid for by our tax dollars? Are you crazy??”

Libraries - a great idea from when we used to build society, not just sell to it.

allies are inching closer to sending troops into to train Ukrainian forces, a move that would be another blurring of a previous red line and could draw the and Europe more directly into the war.

So far the United States has said no, but Gen. Charles Q. Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Thursday that a NATO deployment of trainers appeared inevitable. “We’ll get there eventually, over time,” he said.

Eric Trump just swapped seats with Rep. Donalds just in time for the congressman to appear in photos behind Trump's defense table.

That's what this trial is now for Trump, a political photo opp.

Where is the moral center of someone like Cohen who within a few days:

  • has his anniversary/daughter's bday trip to UK ruined
  • tries to trick Daniels/Davidson on a contract they don't intend to pay
  • fronts $130k he has to hide from his wife

...all to protect a lying, cheating boss and his effort to dupe the public into electing him?

Something I realized I actually super appreciate these days is people I disagree with who aren't insane, idiots, or other types of conservative dipshits. People with GOOD REASONS and GOOD FACTS behind their conclusions.

These folks do exist. My personal slack group has a bunch of folks that I don't agree with, and it's FASCINATING. These folks do sometimes change my mind, though it's rare. But I respect where they're coming from.

Imagine politics like that.

"'s youngest son 'declines' to be delegate, his mother says"

This was mom's decision I think

Melania seems a little angry. Gee, I wonder why 🤔

Those divorce papers are already typed up and ready to be sent to orange sh**bag, and I think they're coming overnight Fedex on November 6

It's likely Barron will be a ghoul, but wouldn't it be a gas if via his mother's bile he becomes a critic of and ?

I'm haunted by the story of young Donald Trump Jr who ran away to Colorado and was a bartender.

He was forced back to NY and the business when his dad cut off his money.

What might have been vs the pathetic loser abasing himself for daddy's attention and money.

TCatInReality,
@TCatInReality@mastodon.social avatar

@Catawu @benroyce @thepoliticalcat
Did you hear the story, as told by Ivana, about how Jr was treated during the divorce proceedings?

Ivana took the 3 kids and left. Trump wanted to lash out at her and demanded he keep custody of Jr. Knowing Trump, Ivana said sure. Trump sent a driver to collect Jr. Two hours later Jr was brought back.

What does that do to a child?

@benroyce @Catawu @thepoliticalcat
We got here quite easily - he was a celebrity and generated phenomenal media attention. As he was completely transactional and amoral, all kinds of groups supported him thinking they could use him for their own means.

And so, we have a coalition of white supremacists, "Christian" nationalists and billionaires all supporting an obvious conman who is constantly normalized by the media.

🤷‍♀️

TCatInReality,
@TCatInReality@mastodon.social avatar

@thepoliticalcat @Catawu @benroyce
Not only did Jr have few hardships, he also had an (alleged) billion $ inheritance dangled right there if only he played ball.

I don't know, but I'm guessing, that's hard to resist.

One more reason Trump needs to drag down Hunter and Joe Biden. Tyrants can't allow another alternative to their horrific, bullying worldview.

"My son had an addition, with hard work, loving support and compassion, he beat it" cannot be allowed to be seen.

Madeleine testimony resumes

A fmr White House aide who worked closely w/ returned to the stand to testify about a significant meeting between Trump & his personal lawyer that is at the center of Trump’s trial.

Cohen is expected to testify Monday.

So, the penny-pinching businessman who stiffed hundreds of contractors was concerned about promptly signing those high dollar checks to Michael Cohen. Sounds totally legit.

Trump enters the courtroom. Before arriving, he lingered for a moment in the doorway, talking to his lawyers, Emile Bove and Todd Blanche. He had a piece of paper in his hand, which he waved around as he spoke.

Wait for it….
