Trump Says Obama Administration Failed to Free Three American Hostages Held in North Korea
That’s false. Two were detained after President Trump took office.

Well, see? That means there's no way Obama could have freed them?

...you know, the last time I tried sarcasm here was when Toupee Fiasco retweeted that picture of a Star of David superimposed on a pile of money. I joked that they would say it was just a random sheriff's star - which is exactly what they ended up saying.

So...maybe they actually would try this nonsense as well.
 
Like shooting fish in a barrel:
April 5 - Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump said curtly that he did not know about the payment, referring questions to Cohen.
Reporter: Did you know about the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels?
Trump: No.

Today - "Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA...Prior to its violation by Ms. Clifford and her attorney, this was a private agreement." Donald J. Trump

Why did The Dunce lie about it? Did he know that if he lied the fact he lied would eventually come out? Did he care? A Senator once called him a dirtbag. In my opinion, that was what he was doing here. Proving his dirtbag bona fides for his constituency. Had sex with a porn star, then paid her $130,000 to shut her up, then lied and said the whole thing never happened. When it comes out that it did happen, The Dirtbag-in-Chief can demonstrate once again: his core base doesn't care. They're dirtbags too. They want him to do sleazy things, then lie about them, get found out and then shrug and say, "So what?"

This way they can show the rest of, no they don't care. Why should they. Hey, he expresses their views. That's all they care about. The ruder and cruder The Dunce acts, the more they lap it up. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, 'It's payback time in America!'

Trump: No.

Reporter: Then why did Michael Cohen make this, if there was no truth to the allegations.

Trump: Well, you’ll have to ask Michael Cohen. Michael is my attorney and you’ll have to ask Michael Cohen.

Notice the distancing himself.
 
He's not distancing himself. He's one of the two private parties.

These agreements are....

...very common among celebrities and people of wealth.

Here's the official dirtbag reaction on Twitter:
Trump paid this woman to shut up about consensual sex with his own money in a legal fashion. This is standard in Washington and is going on with OUR TAXPAYER MONEY! Trump slept with her twelve years ago and paid her with his own cash! WHO CARES? Tweet

Sleeping with porn stars and paying them to keep quiet with taxpayer money is standard in Washington. Do you think the guy who tweeted that really believes it's true. Can he cite evidence? I'm sure he can't and that's the whole point. What's more aggravating than someone slinging some crap out when you both know it's not true? Only the person doing the slinging is having a ball insisting it is true and they believe it. Weird times.

I would love for once for one of those reporters in the Sanders press conference to ask her if she knew what the term gas-lighting meant or if she'd seen the movie.
 
Has anyone picked up on Trump saying he will create a 'religious office's to give religious groups a voice in government?
 
Saw something about it. Not really clear exactly what it will involve, but is it likely that it will focus on a Christian viewpoint rather than a broad 'faith' agenda?

Possibly, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Lubavitcher Hassidim got involved. They're good at getting involved in that kind of political pandering; in Russia they're incredibly close to Vladimir Putin for reasons that I think confuse both parties.

MSNBC tweeting

BREAKING: Michael Cohen to @DonnyDeutsch of @MSNBC: "[Rudy Giuliani] doesn't know what he's talking about. There are two people who know exactly what happened -- myself and the President -- and you'll be hearing my side of the story."

Doesn't that imply that Trump has told another lie?

Why is it so difficult for these people to get their stories straight? I mean seriously.
 
Scott Pruitt’s itinerary for a February trip to Israel was remarkable by any standard for an Environmental Protection Agency administrator: A stop at a controversial Jewish settlement in the West Bank. An appearance at Tel Aviv University. A hard-to-get audience with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

One force behind Pruitt’s eclectic agenda: casino magnate and Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson, a major supporter of Israel who arranged parts of Pruitt’s visit.

The Israel trip was canceled days before Pruitt’s planned departure, after The Washington Post revealed his penchant for first-class travel on the taxpayers’ dime. But federal documents obtained by The Post and interviews with individuals familiar with the trip reveal that it fit a pattern by Pruitt of planning foreign travel with significant help from outside interests, including lobbyists, Republican donors and conservative activists.

After taking office last year, Pruitt drew up a list of at least a dozen countries he hoped to visit and urged aides to help him find official reasons to travel, according to four people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal agency deliberations. Pruitt then enlisted well-connected friends and political allies to help make the trips happen.

Wasn't that a reading from "Two Corinthians"?

No, Trump is just distributing alternative facts.

Seriously.... may not be a good sign for the president if Cohen is somehow going to "go rogue".
