Cont: The Trump Presidency X: 10-10 'til we do it again

Avenatti's so dumb that he fabricated this story before he even represented her.

Man going to court to prove he didn't have sex with a porn star.

2018 is weird.

Yeah, I liked McCain and might have voted for him but when they just stuck
in some alaskan airhead on the ticket that put the kibosh on it for me. That's
when I knew my party had left me. Then Mitt Romney as the candidate and
finally that clown car of candidates and Trump. Ain't no "Grand" left in the GOP.
Form the inside and outside, we have to change it.

I'm not sure that's possible. I can't think of anyone inside the part who
could reform it, or outsider who could change it. At this point I suspect
that a minor party may form on the outside and replace them.

I'm not sure either, which is why in voting I may vote for the mainstream candidate I want but do so not on the either of the main party lines. So same candidate but also helping to lend credence to additional party affiliations. I stick with the party so I can still vote in primaries and help bring more moderate candidates out. Unfortunately, both lacking such candidates lately and polling times for primaries aren't as long as with elections. So I haven't been able to vote in a primary for some time.

I can't for the life of me find where that caricatured face originates from. I know I've seen it in many places. Do you know?

I grew up reading Mad Magazine and that's a stylized version of their icon, Alfred E. Neuman. The 'Trump and Republican presidents' painting actually reminded me of a Kelly Freas Mad cover. Freas was an illustrator who did many Mad covers back in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Freas painted with the same realism style that Andy Thomas uses. Freas often put Neuman in a situation where Alfred was oblivious to the fact he was being idiotic. Below is a Freas Mad cover from 1961 that I find very reminiscent of the style Andy Thomas used when he painted "The Republican Club.":

Here's another one I like.

Trump says he won't believe Warren's DNA test unless he can administer it himself. "And I'm not looking forward to that, believe me!" What the heck does he think the test involves? A body cavity search?

Don't know if this is/was mentioned in another thread, but the FBI raided the mayoral/city offices in San Juan after Trump alleges corruption.

The question is: valid or revenge for Mayor Cruz being an outspoken Trump critic.

One of the posts in the article's comment section pointed something out:

"We are filling out a search warrant, looking for documents and evidence that can support the allegation [of favoritism]," he added.

Shouldn't they have the search warrant filled out BEFORE they engage in a raid?

 

[jimbob]

What is it about Trump? I mean seriously, why the hell is he taking shots at Stormy? He just called her 'horse face'. I mean why keep alive what was dying? Just to prove to those few people who don't know already, that yes, Trump is truly a pig.

How does that work?

You have a horse face.

Well why did you pay to have sex with me?

Er... I *really* like horses?

Kushner has been tying Khashoggi to terrorism

That's funny, I thought Obama literally founded ISIS.

From the link:

I didn’t realize until yesterday that Jamal Khashoggi was the author of this notorious 1988 Arab News article of him tooling around Afghanistan with Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda co-founder Abdullah Azzam.

Notice he added "notorious" as if we all remembered some notorious thing from that period. I remember the notorious CIA funding of bin Laden until he became our enemy.

Short memories. The article was written in 1988. The US was still supporting the Mujahideen until 1989.

Mujahideen in Afghanistan

Under CIA's Operation Cyclone from 1979 to 1989, the United States and Saudi Arabia provided $40 billion worth of financial aid and weapons to almost 100,000 Mujahideen and "Afghan Arabs" from forty Muslim countries through Pakistan's ISI.[103] British journalist Jason Burke wrote that "bin Laden's Office of Services, set up to recruit overseas for the war, received some US cash."[104]

 

[Belz...]

That's just a made up story fabricated by Michael Avenatti (AKA The Creepy Porn Lawyer) and one of his whack job clients.

Based on what?

Oh, right. Nothing.

"I love the fact that the progressive dupes who contributed to Stormy Daniels’ GoFundMe account will now see their money go to pay Donald Trump‘s legal fees."

-- Dinesh D'Souza (Oct 16, 2018)

Dang. Blew my money on that GoFundMe.

Wait. No I didn't. Didn't put a cent in.

 

[acbytesla]

Or, more amazing still, pretending to be a pig to get a rise out of liberals...

Pretending to be? Surely ye jest.

 

[acbytesla]

That's just a made up story fabricated by Michael Avenatti (AKA The Creepy Porn Lawyer) and one of his whack job clients. The story is no more believable than the gang rape fairy tale he was peddling a few weeks ago. The only people who believe Avenatti are the delusional Dimms.

Sure it is.

Was putting Trump right next to Nixon a coincidence? Maybe not...

Mujahideen in Afghanistan

And St. Ronnie of Hollywood was still president.

It's called a pathological personality disorder because he cannot help himself. Everything eats at his self esteem.
