tfg Was A Presidential Abuser While In THe WH

“By now you‘ve likely heard the news that on Tuesday, Donald Trump was found liable for sexually abusing (and defaming) writer E. Jean Carroll, and was ordered to pay her $5 million. Given that Trump has spent decades evading and all repercussions for his actions; has been accused by more than two dozen women of sexual misconduct (he has denied all allegations); and literally claimed on tape that it’s okay for “stars” to sexually assault people, the outcome felt monumental. And by the way, if you’re wondering whether Trump—now a certified sexual predator—refrained from behaving inappropriately with women while he was serving as president, the answer is: Of course he didn’t.

Speaking to CNN, Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House director of strategic communications and assistant to the president, told host Jake Tapper: “I have countless pieces of what I considered impropriety in the White House that I brought to the chief of staff because I thought the way he engaged with women was dangerous.”cont…

“Incidentally, Stephanie Grisham also appeared on CNN on Tuesday, and she told anchor Erin Burnett: “There was specific staffer…that [Trump] would request for her to be on constant trips when it wasn’t her turn…he one time had one of my other deputies bring her back so that they could ‘look at her ass’ is what he said to him. And I wrote about this in my book so this is nothing new for me to be saying publicly…I sat down and talked to her at one point asked her if she was uncomfortable. I tried everything I could to ensure she was never alone with him. I did take it to a couple different chiefs of staff including Mark Meadows…at the end of the day what could they do other than go in there and say, ‘This isn’t good sir,’ and you know Donald Trump will do what Donald Trump wants to do…when you’re dealing with the president of the United States, again, there’s no HR group or HR representative to go to, to talk to about these kinds of things.”
“Grisham added: “With this one staffer it was really bad, to the point that I was extremely uncomfortable…every senior staff member knew it…it happened with her a lot. I did everything I could to keep her off of trips actually and to stay with her if she was alone because I was really nervous about what could happen.”

I Didn't Watch The Town Hall Last night Because I didn't Want To See Or Hear

his awful self.

and yet, every MSNBC show is determined to shove it down my throat and I think this is part of the overall problem connected to him. Report, yes...but don't show every word that comes out of his nasty mouth. It's like they can't turn away from the horror movie.

THe Adama Administration Is Considering Housing Immigrants In Tiny Houses & Tents In Central Park

Heard this on the local news today

“Tents, tiny homes in Central Park could house asylum seekers, internal document suggests, according to City Hall sources

By Doug Williams, Marcia Kramer

NEW YORK -- Tents and small houses in Central Park may be used to temporarily shelter asylum seekers in New York City, CBS2 has learned.

City Hall sources said the plan, outlined in an internal document, could be implemented if border towns continue sending asylum seekers and hotel space runs out.

As it is, the city's latest temporary housing solution is unpopular with some in the NYPD. That's because the police academy in Manhattan is now sheltering migrants, raising security concerns.

Video from Thursday night shows asylum seekers getting off buses on the East Side and entering the latest temporary migrant shelter, the former police academy, where the city says they're expected to house hundreds for a short period.“

I Keep Hearing About Hunter Biden Being A Deadbeat Dad

He's currently in court asking for a reduction in what he pays due to less fortunate circumstances .THe mother, Lunden Roberts, apparently wants more.

"“Hunter Biden is paying $20,000 a month and has paid $750,000 so far to Roberts, his lawyer said on Monday, publicly revealing the figure for the first time.

A trial is slated for July to determine if his child support payments will be adjusted.

The case is playing out while House Republicans are similarly pursuing many of Hunter Biden’s financial records, including many of the same ones that Roberts wants.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, complained at the court hearing Monday about alleged leaks to the press. Lowell, a high-profile DC defense attorney who is now representing Hunter Biden on several fronts, said the press stories were creating the false impression that he is a “deadbeat dad.”

It’s important to “let the world know” that Hunter Biden is keeping his word and paying his child support, Lowell said. “He is paying what he agreed to.”

It Was Senator Tillis' Brother Whose Seat Was Urinated On

“And then, of course, there was the famous peeing incident, where a legislator’s office chair was urinated on in an act of intraparty retribution over shitposting. The actual identity of the Republican urinator is a closely-held secret among a small group of operatives who have bragged about witnessing it. But it’s generally accepted that former state Rep. Rick Tillis, a Republican and the brother of U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, did indeed have his chair peed on in the Cordell Hull legislative office building.”

When You Die, God Isn't Going To Ask You...

When you die, God isn’t going to ask you about someone else. He won’t ask you about the two men down the street who got married. He won’t ask you about the girl who had an abortion. He won’t ask you about the atheist that live on the corner. He won’t ask you about the woman who feels more comfortable as
a man.

He will ask you how you loved those people as He called you to do.

And some of you didn’t.
