Oh Dear, Oh Dear
Not the National Inquirer. Oh dear.
Pecker and Trump
Well, come to find out the National Inquirer’s publisher David Pecker has flipped on Trump. Pecker was the guy who bought exclusive rights to the stories about Trump’s mistresses and then never published them.
According to a new report from Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman, however, Pecker has now been granted legal immunity to spill dirt to investigators about allegedly illegal payments the president made to past mistresses during the 2016 presidential campaign.
It is said that Pecker will collaborate Cohen’s story about the illegal campaign contributions to cover up Trump’s hotsy totsy activities.
Here’s the fun part: one of Trumps unnamed allies is quoted: “Holy sh*t, I thought Pecker would be the last one to turn,” the Trump ally said.
Nah, that would be Melania.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
Exonerated, My Sweet Patootie
Okay, so last night I was watching the teevee and some damn Republican fool on CNN said that Manafort had been exonerated on ten counts, like that meant he was pure as the driven snow.
Anderson Cooper said that a deadlocked did not mean exonerated.
But, y’all, it’s worse than that.
One of the jurors from Paul Manafort’s trial said on Wednesday that although she “did not want Paul Manafort to be guilty,” the evidence was “overwhelming.”
And the deadlocked charges?
Duncan, who is the first juror to speak publicly, offered a look behind the scenes of the deliberations. She noted that “crazily enough, there were even tears,” and detailed some of the jury’s conversations with the lone juror who she said was the reason Manafort was not found guilty on all counts.
So, that means it was deadlocked 11 – 1 in favor of finding him guilty.
Exonerated? Nope.
One holdout, and even that person felt half the charges were warranted.
There are some Trump supporters who believe is can do no wrong. Even if we get rid of Trump, we still have to live with these damn people.
Take That, Ted Cruz!
The Austin American Statesman published an editorial by Little Bubba and his buddy, Big Bill. Little Bubba has had all he can take from Ted Cruz’s defense of people’s right to endanger the lives of other people and call it the First Amendment. Pretty much the same for the Second Amendment, too, but that’s for another time.
So, he wrote an editorial for the Austin.
Enjoy!
