I thought more like Red Sparrow. Saw that movie, this girl seems about as close to the real deal we may know.

Trump is a disaster - a pure populist who doesn't understand or care about long term implications of his decisions or government spending. He will do or say whatever makes him popular right now with almost not regard for the future. That's without getting into his bizarre behavior around Russia. The fact that he isn't getting more heat from his party at this point should tell you all you need to know.

Unfortunately it looks like the Democrats are just going to keep tacking further to the left, so we will end up with Trump or a Bernie Sanders type of candidate in 2020, neither of which will be good for the country.

Now there is Trump right on a Cohen tape discussing paying off the playboy model. Guiliani calls it exculpatory, he is just the gift that keeps on giving entertainment.

Something tells me these Cohen tapes are a treasure trove of fun.

"I can't believe Michael would do this to me."

I can't believe Michael wouldn't to this to him.

Cohen recording Trump is the least surprising thing in all of this. Just from listening to him during the campaign and his first 18 months in office, Trump is about the least trustworthy person to ever serve as a president. The guy just can't help himself when he lies. He just does it and won't admit when he does it. Cohen and his recordings are the most assured CYA thing he could do.

The board Trump fans are nowhere to be seen. I get it though, I am still in the let's wait and see group. What are going to find when we have all waited?

Another soap opera week. Mueller subpoenaing the Manhattan Madam now. I'm long out of popcorn.

Good lord, now it’s getting ridiculous. I get that the feds line up all of their ducks before pouncing but there is a point where they are merely running up the score.

I’m not surprised by Trump’s indescretions from the past..

He was of course a Democrat at the time.

I am wondering how Mueller can even listen to these tapes. They should be protected by attorney client privilege, and I doubt Trump will waive that privilege. Cohen can't waive it; only the client can waive it.
