Trump dismisses questions about improper gift to Florida attorney general (WP headline)

Donald Trump on Monday dismissed questions about his failure to disclose an improper $25,000 contribution in 2013 to a political group connected to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was at the time considering whether to open a fraud investigation against Trump University.

-snip-

The Trump campaign declined to comment for this story.

And so that's the end of that? Trump dismisses...so MSM dismisses? WTF???

Don't look -- there's no story here about Trump's Pay to Play

One would expect Faux News to be silent on this, but CNN has drunk the kool-aid as well.

Last Friday, Washington Post reporter David Farenthold broke a blockbuster of a story about Donald Trump, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, and a clear-cut pay-to-play scheme. Our report on that is here.

It's a blockbuster of a report that can leave no doubt about the fact that there was a quid pro quo between Bondi and Trump, with an equally clear effort to conceal it on the Trump Foundation reports.

In other words, it's truly a scandal. A REAL scandal. One that should have dominated today's Sunday shows and the newspaper headlines this weekend. Yet, there was no mention that I saw on any Sunday shows, and headlines are still dominated with bogus Clinton email stories.

Curiously, only MSNBC has reported the story at all. Joy Reid did a lengthy segment while sitting in for Chris Hayes on All In last Friday night, a bit of which we've clipped above. In the words of Joe Biden, this is a BFD.

dRump's lawyer tweets image of Hillary as a suicide bomber

Just how low can they go? Can we get just a little bit of media on this sickening tweet?

Donald Trump’s attorney, Michael “Says who?” Cohen, just tweeted a revolting image of Hillary Clinton during Trump’s insane immigration speech tonight.

It appears to be Hillary Clinton as an Islamic terrorist.

The Miss USA hopeful sued by Trump: 'There are ways to stand your ground'


Sheena Monnin saw beauty pageants as a way to fulfill her potential – she never imagined they’d be the gateway through which Donald Trump would try to destroy her life. Even now, she insists, the debacle has not made her anti-pageant, just anti-Trump.

-snip-

She wrote:

I have decided to resign my position as Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012. Effective immediately I have voluntarily, completely, and utterly removed myself from the Miss Universe Organization. In good conscience I can no longer be affiliated in any way with an organization I consider to be fraudulent, lacking in morals, inconsistent, and in many ways trashy.

I do not support this system in any way. In my heart I believe in honesty, fair play, a fair opportunity, and high moral integrity, none of which in my opinion are part of this pageant system any longer.

Thank you all for your support and understanding as I walk a road I never dreamed I’d need to walk, as I take a stand I never dreamed I’d need to take. After 10 years of competing in a pageant system I once believed in, I now completely and irrevocably separate myself in every way and on every level from the Miss Universe Organization. I remove my support completely and have turned in the title of Miss Pennsylvania USA 2012.

-snip-

In June she published a self-help book, Hands on the Wheel: Getting Control of Your Life, which draws on her experience being bullied by Trump to help advise readers in dealing with bullies wherever they may find them.

NOTE: Where is this book? Maybe we can help make it a best seller?

Hillary's Bengazi/email/Clinton Foundation so called "scandals" or any of these tRUMP scandals???


This stuff here is so "juicy". Why isn't MSM covering any of the countless disgusting tRUMP scandals. Geez, they don't have to look very far and don't have to dig very deep.

Here's a poll to ask MSM -- which is your "favorite" Donald Trump scandal? You can only choose one....I know it's kind of hard.

Geez, it's practically impossible to decide -- they're all filled with such vile.

Hillary Clinton - The Briefing

Do these videos just go out to her supporters, or do they end up going out to any news outlets? This latest one is great and very timely. I'm just wondering who gets to see them?

Fact or Fiction: Is Donald Trump taking the drug Phentermine?

I came across this today. Maybe it's old news...but in light of Trump's wacko charlaton doctor claiming him to be the healthiest human specimen alive...I wonder if there's a way to dig into this some more.

“According to our source, the Donald Trump of today is on a diet drug called phentermine—and has been since at least April of 2014,” Gawker reported.

Roy Cohn (closeted homophobe) defended Donald Trump in 1973 civil rights lawsuit

Courtesy of America blog:

I was just watching a chilling broadcast on CNN, about the US government’s 1973 civil rights case against Donald Trump.
The case alleged civil rights violations against African-Americans in Trump housing in NYC. You can see a snippet of the video below.

But then something caught my eye. CNN was mentioning how Trump, via his lawyer, hit back hard against the allocations. And I see a name flit across the screen, so I back up the DVR.

-snip-

For anyone unaware, Roy Cohn was a hated man. He was Senator Joe McCarthy’s right-hand man during the McCarthy era anti-communist witch hunts that destroyed so many lives. But to add to the fun, Roy Cohn was a closeted gay man, who eventually died complications related to HIV/AIDS. But none of that stopped Cohn from destroying the lives of countless gay government employees who he, and McCarthy, drove out of of their careers.
