A Koch associate told POLITICO that when Hurt returned from his exchange with Trump, he offered to take an Uber home and allow the rest of the foursome to continue playing without him.
“And David said, ‘No, we came as a foursome and we'll leave as a foursome,’” said the Koch associate, who was briefed on the incident.
What happened after that exchange is slightly different depending on who is telling the story.
According to a member of Trump's transition team security tapped Hurt on the shoulder and asked him to leave after he returned to his foursome.
However a member of that foursome said that there was no interaction with security at all.
Either way it just makes Trump look petty.
Awfully thin skinned for a rapist, don't you think?
This is great factual news!
ReplyDeleteAnd just to be a little more factual about Hurt quoting Ivana re the rape charge: Hurt took that quote from an unsealed (post trial) piece of testimony under oath by Ivana. She later recanted, but Hurt is as correct as a quote from court under oath can be.
DeleteAnd lots of people have prob forgotten about it -- but Trump's behavior gets it into the headlines all over again. This is the part I don't understand: why?
I am thinking he does this because his redneck supporters actually like:
(1) rape;
(2) Ivana denying it later because Trump made her an offer she could not refuse;
(3) revenge upon the writer;
(4) being gauche, rude, petty to Koch.
(5) T affirming his ability to express these values yet another time -- the big third finger to all.
Trump supporters would think it's all good. Would wish they could do the same.

Biff is a towering, violent and selfish bully who obtains what he wants by intimidating others into doing his work for him, or by cheating. He and his family members have a tendency to misuse idioms in a way that makes them appear stupid and pathetic despite their intention to insult or scare, and all share a disdain for manure. His favorite insult is "butthead".

States re-examine cybersecurity after Russia accused of hack
ReplyDelete...An attack on a U.S. power grid has long been a nightmare scenario for top U.S. officials. The National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command chief Adm. Michael Rogers have previously warned it’s not a matter of if but when attackers will also target U.S. power systems.
On Dec. 23, 2015, a highly sophisticated cyberattack on the power grid in Ukraine hit three regional electronic power distribution companies within 30 minutes of each other, blacking out more than 225,000 customers.

Mr. Trump said he has lots of enemies. That could be a huge problem for him. Seems the upper class are split from this reality show of spies and lies.
ReplyDeleteHe's building more and more enemies on a daily basis after all the stupid stuff he says and does.
DeletePlus, remember - many don't like him as they didn't vote for him. The popular vote count went to Hillary Clinton by a landslide!
I find him a horrible example of a man. God protect us when and if he takes the oath of office. I hope he is impeached or stopped before he gets to that point!
If by "upper class" you mean the moneyed class -- they may not like him but they will get a big reduction in their taxes because of him.
DeleteSomeone should have walked over to Trump and kicked him in his saggy balls! He's such a bastard and so idiotically thin skinned for a 70 year old baby!
ReplyDeleteHe'll be a horrible potus! Can you imagine when 'many' tell him things that he doesn't like? Poor baby - we're probably going to actually see him cry and run home to wherever that will be at the time!
Trump is as fucking deplorable! What a whiney bitch!
What happened to the "I know everything guided by God" Sarah? I thought she had that crooked finger of hers on everything!
ReplyDeleteNo Christmas post? No New Year post?
Oh, toots, come on out and get smacked!
It's heaven for most of us not hearing from the bitch! She has no place anymore in the Republican party and they want nothing to do with her!
DeleteIt's amazing how many people are still waiting to see what a has been from eight years ago is doing and saying.
Delete@1:20
DeletePeople still love to make fun of the moron Dan Quayle.
Beauty fades. DUMB is FOREVER.
Everyone should forget about Dan Quayle and focus on the much more stupid Donald Trump! Remain in the present and not the past, you idiots! We have much more to deal w/currently. I cannot believe how fucking stupid Americans are in our world today!
Delete@3:52
DeleteMost people are capable of doing more than one thing at a time. Way to go trying to convince people to join your cause. Calling them idiots and stupid works every time. ha
If this is how the president-elect is going to behave while on a *break* - petty, sulky, thin-skinned, and vindictive, imagine how he'll be in the oval office! With the reins of power in his stubby fingers! I can see his first address to Congress now...something like this;

I don't think Trump is smart -- vindictive, but not smart. He is no judge of character and will believe anything and anybody whom he thinks admires him. He is an easily manipulable puppet which Saddam did not appear to be.
DeleteAnd yet millions of the deplorables think he is their savior. It's unfathomable stupidity and ignorance. These folks really are cretins. Down the rabbit hole we have gone. How can a constitutional republic survive a 50% voting citizenship of the retarded?
ReplyDeleteMore like 30% since fewer than 60% or so voted. I try to take comfort in this- fewer than 1/3 of eligible voters elected Trump.
DeleteWhat a bunch of utter bullshit.
ReplyDeleteWall Street Journal Editor Says His Newspaper Won’t Call Donald Trump’s Lies ‘Lies’
Wall Street Journal Editor-in-Chief Gerard Baker said his newspaper would not refer to false statements from the Trump administration as “lies,” because doing so would ascribe a “moral intent” to the statements.
Baker appeared on NBC’s “Meet The Press” Sunday, where he described some of President-elect Donald Trump’s falsehoods as “questionable” and “challengeable.” But, he said, “I’d be careful about using the word ‘lie.’ ‘Lie’ implies much more than just saying something that’s false. It implies a deliberate intent to mislead.”
He said reporters should state the facts, but leave classifying them to readers, citing the example of Trump’s claim that thousands of Muslims in New Jersey were celebrating on 9/11 (which is false).
“I think it’s then up to the reader to make up their own mind to say, ‘This is what Donald Trump says. This is what a reliable, trustworthy news organization reports. And you know what? I don’t think that’s true.’”
The New York Times editorial board has used “lie” to describe Trump’s rampant abuse of facts. And Washington Post conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin has taken the media to task for not using the word. Other outlets ― including MSNBC, New York Magazine and HuffPost ― will use the word when it’s merited.
But Baker said that in doing so, “you run the risk that you look like you are, you’re not being, objective.”

ReplyDeleteFormer Press Secretaries Say Donald Trump’s Relationship With Journalists Will Be Unprecedented
“I don’t think it has any parallels to the past,” says former George W. Bush spokeswoman.
“We’ve just elected a man who bullies female reporters at his rally as an applause line,” said Nicolle Wallace, who served as White House communications director under President George W. Bush. “We have just elected a man who started a hot war with a female anchor instead of attending a debate she moderated. We are in a new place. And I don’t think it’s good. And I don’t think it has any parallels to the past.”

Run over his directions journalists throughout the country and don't let him take you down and the media!
DeleteThere will be ways to get out your articles/information to keep the country informed. We ALL need to fight this asshole until he and his are gone and he's no longer the ruler that makes our country undemocratic!
He's not thin-skinned for a rapist because rapists are thin-skinned when it comes to so many of the reasons why they rape. He's like so many other pieces of scum who turn to rape and going after the vulnerable for a release of their anger and need to claim power.
ReplyDeleteHow can this sociopathic evil child subjugate the entire world? He can't. He builds enemies before he is even inaugurated. It's going to be brutal but his fat ignorant ass is going down along with despicable Pence's. You can't attack the entire intelligent world, try to build a fiefdom devoted entirely to you on other folks backs, and skate free. Smart folks can get extreme too.
ReplyDeleteA civil war is coming against the asshole and his ilk. He is abhorred by so many Americans and has enemies all over the country and world.
DeleteHe will bring death to himself and his family members and some of us! But, the majority of America will prevail!
Ivanka is on record as saying the orange toad raped her. She retracted it when he threatened to stop paying her the court stipulated settlement.
ReplyDeleteHe needs to be locked in a padded room where he can not hurt anyone else, including the CPOUNTRY.
12:37 - Did you mean Ivana rather than Ivanka? If you have a link to a source where Ivanka said that, please post it.
DeleteIvana, not Ivanka.
DeleteIt was his ex-wife, not his daughter, that said he raped her while they were married and then pulled back the statement because Trump threatened to cut her off financially!
DeleteAfter he disposes of his enemies only a few may survive in little pockets that aren't irradiated and can weather a nuclear winter. Global civilization will be gone. Most life as we know it will also be gone. We won't be here to muse about it. The earth will recover in millions of years. Minus us.
ReplyDeleteWhen he enrages a Koch brother, he may have really stepped in it. Couldn't happen to a nicer fella :)

DeleteA petty dictator with delusions of god-hood.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until the stock market and economy crashes.
He'll lose what little support he has and they'll kick him to the curb.
But the ridicule and humiliation will not end there. He will be the butt of jokes long after he's dead. (Which can't come soon enough.)
This is the monster for which the Kochs planted the seed.
