Well, Isn’t This a Pretty Little Package
Jerry Falwell was one of the first evangelicals to endorse Trump and after that, they just lined up to become enamored about Trump and bask in all the publicity and White House photos that followed their endorsement.
Falwell was the leader of the Trump Jesus Parade.
Wanna know how that happened?
Michael Cohen. Cohen had copies of the photos.
Now Cohen has confirmed in his book, Disloyal: The Memoir, that he was called in to “kill” the photos that the Falwells were being blackmailed with
“In good time, I would call in this favor, not for me, but for the Boss, at a crucial moment on his journey to the presidency,” Cohen wrote in his book.
Cohen wrote that he convinced Falwell to support Trump just before the Iowa caucuses in 2016, shoring up essential evangelical support at the early primary at a time when Trump’s credibility among Christian voters was low.
And he’s gonna drain the swamp. And people actually believe him.
There are just a handful of people who have more dirt on Trump than he has on them. Putin, of course. Jerry Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell. Jared Kushner. Any I missed?
Cohen is still on my list of lowlifes; all this has come up only because he got caught and sentenced, not because he has suddenly decided to abjure the Devil and follow the light. And at this point, the juicier the stories, the more books he can sell. So while I can certainly believe that blackmail was used, Cohen telling us now is “day late, dollar short”.
As for Falwell, my favorite blurb about him was that he was resigning so he could spend more time watching his family.
1As I recall, when the police first nabbed Epstein, it was reported that there were cameras in every room, but since then, I haven’t heard any more about them. Does someone have all of it?
2Are either Joe Biden or Senator Harris prepared to “take off the gloves”? Donnie thought he was cute with inviting certain women to attend the debates with Hilz. There’s a growing list of invitees that could return that favor to Donnie.
3Melania. I think Melania has more dirt on him than he has on her.
4If you can blackmail the flocker into supporting your candidate, the rest of the flock will follow. Only the best people?
5Jane and PKM, it is well past time to remove the gloves, remove and burn them.
They won’t, though. DNC dogma says you don’t destroy the other party, as you may someday need their support.
I say, destroy them utterly and sew salt in the fields!
6Jane & PKM, I like the way your minds work. However, I don’t think Biden or Harris would ever stoop that low. And I don’t think Donald would have any shame over it. He’d probably just trash talk those particular invitees.
7I’m guessing he’s got nekkid shots of Lindsey Graham. I DO NOT want to see them, but I wish somebody’d report they exist. I think. Maybe.
And I’m trying not to think about Ted Cruz.
8AK Lynne, rofl at the mere thought of Donnie being shamed, as in nevuh gonna happen. However, imagine the fun if every time Donnie lies in a debate there was someone in the audience who could wave an evidence folder of tapes & photos while shouting “you lie” at the moron.
Mr. Phillips, you are sadly correct about the DNC. If neither Joe or Senator Harris will take those shots, dayum it would be fun if at a minimum there was one news station willing to invite a few merry real time fact checkers, but Donnie’s sound feed and replace him with truth.
Q Why didn’t you televise tRump?
9A Waiting for him to speak at least one truth.
Biden, Harris and the dems need to get very aggressive but not the same way as the repubs; ie, stick to facts and good humor not half-truths and lies. If they try to emulate the trumpsters, they will lose big time because that ain’t their game.
10Don’t take anything for granted. Basics.
Here’s another one JJ, AllenWeisselberg.
Not a peep about this so he’s been somehow silenced. Maybe Trump’s generous ‘severed horse head’ Gift was also bestowed to Allen.

I think Barrf has some dirt if not illegal stuff on Trumpf but of course he’ll never talk because he’s so complicit in coverups.
12van heldorf, not disagreeing, as First Lady Michelle Obama has said: “when they go low, we go high.” She is an excellent role model of the strategy she advises. She has a unique ability to wrestle with a pig and not get a spot of slop on herself. Not everyone has the grace of President and First Lady Obama. Some of us must be content to come out of the pig’s pen with more of the pig’s metaphorical blood on our knuckles than the rest of its bodily fluids.
Speaking of those who can elegantly land a punch, Congresswoman Maxine Waters has been quiet of late. Hope she’s healthy
13Never get into a stinking match with a skunk.
He’s better at it than you are.
14I like leaving the gloves on. Fewer fingerprints.
15Wyatt Earl @8:
16I agree totally.
But speaking only for myself, your last sentence, if it were handed down as part of a sentence for anything up to and including mass murder, would be cruel and unusual punishment.
Micr, metaphorically speaking I’m good with protecting my knuckles. But should any of those followers of the f king moron breach any perimeter of the ranch, putting on gloves would be last on our checklist. Doing our best to restrain ourselves from flying any signs that would provoke these snowflake covidiots. Not to mention spoiling the surprise effect of appearing to be a “neutral” party that is all about “stand our ground” when attacked by Nazis. We’re not too worried as we’ve seen what they’ve got on their idea of the Bundy style Ho Chi Numbnuts HWY that runs past here when they’ve had focus on one spot. Plus we are protected by the fact the range on the average fat ass scooter which will requiring trailering. That’s if they have gas money. LOL Donnie the moron has his fool Louis at USPS trying to stop mail in ballots. Too bad that will cut off the supply train to his covidiots welfare benefits.
17> any I missed?
Dmitri Firtash
Paul Manafort
Roger Stone
Allan Weisselberg (Trump companies CFO)
David Pecker
maybe half a dozen Russian mobster/oligarchs
and half a dozen senior execs at Deutsche Bank
18The falsehood, the hypocricy tht followed all the Falwells around like a little smudgy cloud was always available for everyone to see. Cannot for the life of me understand why any parent would spend the money to dump their kid for four years into that kind of environment and still demand that the kid graduate full of praise for that bunch! Hey, remember Two Corinthians? The students laughed. I’m betting part of that laughter was aimed at the parents AND the Falwells, not simply just at the incredibly stupid speaker.
