Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
Seven months before an alleged tryst with porn star Stormy Daniels, Donald Trump told radio host Howard Stern that he would give his pregnant wife, Melania, a couple of days — or maybe a week — to regain her model figure after giving birth.
“You know, Howard, she’s got the kind of a body and makeup where, about one day after the baby, it’s going to be the same as it was before,” Trump said during an appearance on Stern’s show on Dec. 7, 2005.
“You’re giving her one day?” Stern asked.
“One or two,” Trump replied.
Moments later, the future president reconsidered. “I think I’ll give her a week,” he said. “No, I’ll give her a week.”
Trump’s remarks drew laughter from Stern’s female co-host, Robin Quivers, and Trump ultimately indicated that his ultimatum to Melania was not entirely serious.
“If there’s cellulite, will you be man enough to stay in the relationship?” Stern asked at one point.
“I will,” Trump answered. “I will love her so much. You have no idea. I’m a very loyal person. I will love her so much.”
Yes he was so loyal to Melania that seven months later, and only a few months after she gave birth, he was cheating on her with a porn star.
Stormy Daniels revealed Trump called her every ~10 days after their first encounter. "We had really good banter," she said. "He told me once that I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful, smart, just like his daughter" https://t.co/jWEDRH1EBR
President Trump said on Wednesday that he thought that the former national security adviser Susan E. Rice may have committed a crime by seeking the identities of Trump associates who were swept up in the surveillance of foreign officials by American spy agencies and that other Obama administration officials may also have been involved.
The president provided no evidence to back his claim. Current and former intelligence officials from both Republican and Democratic administrations have said that nothing they have seen led them to believe that Ms. Rice’s actions were unusual or unlawful. When Americans are swept up in surveillance of foreign officials by intelligence agencies, their identities are supposed to be obscured, but they can be revealed for national security reasons, and intelligence officials say it is a regular occurrence.
“I think it’s going to be the biggest story,” Mr. Trump said in an interview in the Oval Office. “It’s such an important story for our country and the world. It is one of the big stories of our time.”
Trump then goes on to claim that he has evidence that he will introduce at the "right time."
I imagine that will be the same "right time" that Trump is waiting to arrive before sharing what his investigators discovered about Obama's birth certificate, and the same "right time" he is waiting for before sharing the data that proves millions of undocumented people voted for Hillary Clinton.
In other words don't hold your breath.
As reported yesterday the former National Security Adviser did NOTHING wrong and is almsot certainly NOT the person who leaked Michael Flynn's name to the media.
Later in this same interview there is this exchange:
Mr. Trump also criticized media outlets, including The New York Times, for failing to adequately cover the Rice controversy — while singling out Fox News and the host Bill O’Reilly for praise, despite a Times report of several women who have accused Mr. O’Reilly of harassment. The president then went on to defend Mr. O’Reilly, who has hosted him frequently over the years.
“I think he’s a person I know well — he is a good person,” said Mr. Trump, who during the interview was surrounded at his desk by a half-dozen of his highest-ranking aides, including the economic adviser Gary Cohn and the chief of staff, Reince Priebus, along with Vice President Mike Pence.
“I think he shouldn’t have settled; personally I think he shouldn’t have settled,” said Mr. Trump. “Because you should have taken it all the way. I don’t think Bill did anything wrong.”
These are older, vulgar, and incredibly unfortunate looking men, who have learned that the only way they can get their pee pee wet is to either use force, power, or money to bend women to their will.
They are birds of a feather, or in this case pigs of a sty, so of course Trump has Bill O'Reilly's back on this.
Fox News is in a jam this week as major automakers and smaller outfits pull their ads from the network's popular "O'Reilly Factor" show, following a series of sexual harassment claims against host Bill O'Reilly.
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, and Mitsubishi all yanked their ads after a New York Times investigation that surfaced five sexual harassment cases against the political pundit.
They were joined Tuesday by pharmaceutical maker GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi Consumer Care, insurer Allstate, and asset management firm T. Rowe Price.
Untuckit, a men's clothing line, and Constant Contact, an email marketer, and Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, the parent company of the Rachel Ray-endorsed dog food brand Nutrish, also announced they were pulling ads.
In total, 11 advertisers have so far withdrawn support.
Gee Bill remember the good old days, when you could sexually assault women all day long and companies would still clamor to buy ad time for your show?
The veteran Ocean's Eleven, Crash and Iron Man 2 star was in the depths of a heated debate when one Trump fan accused him of "Trump-hating way before treason" - a reference to the ongoing claims that the New York tycoon won the 2016 election with Russian backing.
"Hated him since he asked my friend's father at a Doral pro-am if he'd ever "f*cked a n****r..." Did it for me ...", Cheadle replied. He was referring to a mixed professional and amateur golf contest at Donald Trump's luxury resort in Doral, Miami.
Hated him since he asked my friend's father at a Doral pro-am if he'd ever "f*cked a nigger..." Did it for me ... https://t.co/ypCNEPldH5
He went on to claim the unnamed father was playing in a foursome with the billionaire tycoon. The man in question could not be named, Cheadle said, because his daughter was a celebrity.
Asked why he had not mentioned this story during the Presidential campaign, Cheadle said he didn't think it would have made any difference.
"Many already know this to be in his nature. It's not hidden. And those who can't see it, might never. The story would have changed little," he wrote.
Cheadle has a point.
There was absolutely overwhelming evidence that this man was unfit to even visit much less take up residence in the White House.
And literally everything he has done since taking office has only reinforced that.
So no, this story would not have changed the outcome in any way.
However it is now just one more example we can cite when Trump supporters demand to know why we think he is a racist.
Revenge has been a fixture of Donald Trump’s corporate speeches for years. It almost always comes up as he offers advice to his audience on how to succeed in business, and usually includes a Rosie O’Donnell anecdote.
But at one speech in Sydney in October 2011, he decided to give the audience a live example of what revenge looks like by calling a woman he felt had slighted him onstage and sexually humiliating her in front of thousands of onlookers.
“Get even with people. If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard. I really believe that,” he begins, receiving a round of applause and cheers.
“I’ll give you an example: Jennifer Hawkins. Where’s Jennifer? Where’s she sitting? Get over here, Jennifer,” Trump says, referring to the 2004 Miss Universe winner, who is Australian. “First of all, how beautiful is Jennifer? This is about getting even.”
Trump then explains why he needs to “get even” with Hawkins, whom he accuses of declining to introduce him at the event. “I was so angry at her yesterday. Seriously, as I said, I thought that she dissed me. I thought that my Jennifer ― I’m going around saying she’s my favorite Miss Universe, but I think I like the new one better, Jennifer. So I go around saying she’s the greatest ... then when I came here, there was no Jennifer Hawkins to introduce me.”
As you can see in the video Hawkins tries to explain herself but Trump dismisses her and at one point physically pushes her away from the microphone while he continues to insult and demean her.
And when all is said and done what does he try to do?
He grabs her, gropes her, and tries to kiss her.
Just the fact that this POS brags that he has to "get even" with people, and "screw them back 10 times as hard," should be more than enough to disqualify him from running for the job of Commander-in-Chief.
But then to watch him mistreat a woman like this in front of a bunch of strangers just proves that he has no respect for over half of the human beings living in the country that he wants to lead.
Speaking at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Warren sharply criticized Trump’s boasts about sexually assaulting women, his disparaging remarks about women’s appearances, and other sexist comments he’s made over the years.
“Donald Trump aggressively disrespects more than half the human beings in this country,” Warren said. “He thinks that because he has money, that he can call women fat pigs and bimbos. He thinks that because he is a celebrity that he can rate women’s bodies from one to 10. He thinks that because he has a mouth full of Tic-Tacs, he can force himself on any women within groping distance.”
“Well I’ve got news for you, Donald Trump. Women have had it with guys like you. And nasty women have really had it with guys like you,” Warren continued.
Okay I'm going to spare you my rant about how great it would have been if Warren was Hillary's VP, but I will say that this woman is SO damn good at hitting Trump right where he is the most vulnerable that I cannot help but have a moment of regret that she is not standing side by side with Hillary at the top of the ticket.
The best weapon to use against a serial molester and misogynist is a strong woman who shows no fear while speaking up for all of the women who he has belittled, humiliated, and assaulted over the years.
It is empowering, and I have little doubt that women all over the country are hearing these words from Warren and realizing that their vote will send a message to ALL of the men who have treated women like they only existed for their entertainment that there is a new day in America.
And that new day will be welcomed by this country's very first female President.
Courtesy of TPM: Shock jock Howard Stern on Monday refuted his friend Donald Trump’s claim that his leaked comments about grabbing women’s genitals were just “locker room talk.” “I have never been in the room when someone has said, 'Grab them by the pussy," Stern said on his Sirius satellite radio show, quoting Trump’s own words caught on a hot mic during a 2005 “Access Hollywood” appearance. "No one's ever advocated going that step where you get a little bit, 'Hey I'm going to invade someone's space.'"
Okay this is really a hard blow against Trump's argument that this is locker room talk, or Melania's dismissal that this is just "boy talk."
Howard Stern has made a career out of saying some of the most inappropriate and outlandish things ever said on talk radio, so if even HE cannot excuse these comments that is really saying something.
Remember Stern had Trump on his show numerous times.
Here is how he explains why that was good for his show: Stern said he intentionally brought Trump on air often knowing that he would make “entertaining” and inappropriate comments about women. “I fully knew what I was doing when I interviewed Trump. I knew I had a guy who loved to talk about sex,” Stern said. “I had a guy who loved to evaluate women on a scale of 1 to 10. These are avenues I went down because I knew it would entertain the audience.”
So essentially here was this famous rich guy who acted like a kid in middle school who suddenly discovered boobies, and was acting like that was the only thing he could think about.
Stern had Trump on his show because his audience was made up of emotionally stunted perverts who felt that Donald Trump was one of their own.
As predicted these disgusting Donald Trump stories continue to bubble to the surface. so one again I am going to share some of the newly revealed stuff from yesterday.
One of the things that we learned yesterday is that Donald Trump is not a racist. Just so long as you are the "right kind of black."
So yesterday evening, right when I was trying to relax with an adult beverage, boatloads of excrement started bouncing off fan blades all over the place.
Before I start I should say that each of these new revelations deserve their own post, but the fact that they came out essentially on top of each other is forcing me to include them in one truly horrific post.
And yes I know I am bound to miss some, but what can I say, it is just me here in the IM bunker doing the best I can.
So first up there are the new allegations that Trump has groped even MORE women.
The New York Times published explosive allegations Wednesday evening from two women who say Donald Trump sexually assaulted them. The Palm Beach Post also published a story Wednesday night from a third woman.
Trump has been accused of sexual assault and rape before, but was never found liable. This is the first time these three women have spoken out publicly.
One of the alleged assaults happened more than three decades ago, one was in 2003, and the other was in 2005 — the same year Trump’s infamous “grab ’em by the pussy” audio was recorded.
I should be noted that these three women have all provided their real names and at least two of them have appeared in on camera interviews.
Now typically that story would be more than enough to dominate cable news time for at least two or three days.
A friend whom CNN anchor Erin Burnett has known for years recounted an experience she had with Trump in 2010 that echoes his words in the tape that surfaced Friday.
In March 2010, the woman -- who asked not to be identified -- met Trump in a boardroom in Trump Tower.
Another man -- a colleague of Burnett's friend -- was in the boardroom at the time of the incident.
The woman told Burnett: "Trump took Tic Tacs, suggested I take them also. He then leaned in, catching me off guard, and kissed me almost on lips. I was really freaked out. ... After (the meeting), Trump asked me to come into his office alone. Was really unsure what to do. ... Figured I could handle myself. Anyway, once in his office he kept telling me how special I am and gave me his cell, asked me to call him. I ran the hell out of there."
I am probably a horrible person but I really enjoy that deer in the headlights look on the Trump surrogates face as she realizes what is happening.
Of course at this point I am so disgusted with Trump that I simply write off any woman that would still attempt to defend him as a self loathing POS.
However the important takeaway from this interview is the knowledge that the tape we all saw yesterday is likely just the tip of the iceberg.
As was mentioned a number of times on various cable news shows yesterday Trump has been on a number of shows, including Miss USA and the Apprentice, so there is likely quite a lot of audio that will come out featuring behaviors and language similar to what we heard on that video.
In an hour-long interview at the Guardian’s New York office on Tuesday, Harth said she stands by her charges against Trump, which run from low-grade sexual harassment to an episode her lawyers described in the lawsuit as “attempted ‘rape’”.
She first met Trump in December 1992 at his offices in Trump Tower, where she and her then romantic partner, George Houraney, were making a business presentation. The couple wanted to recruit Trump to back their American Dream festival, in which Harth oversaw a pin-up competition known as American Dream Calendar Girls. Harth described that meeting as “the highlight of our career”.
But in other ways, it was something of a lowlight: Trump took an interest in Harth immediately and began subjecting her to a steady string of unwanted sexual advances, detailed by Harth in her complaint.
There was the initial leering in that first December meeting in Trump Tower, and the inappropriate questions after her relationship status. It continued the next night over dinner at the Plaza Hotel’s Oak Room, where at a dinner with beauty pageant contestants she alleges he groped her under the table.
This all culminated at Mar-a-Lago where:
“He pushed me up against the wall, and had his hands all over me and tried to get up my dress again,” Harth said, “and I had to physically say: ‘What are you doing? Stop it.’ It was a shocking thing to have him do this because he knew I was with George, he knew they were in the next room. And how could he be doing this when I’m there for business?”
Remember when you are a "star" women even let you "grab them by the pu**y." Unless of course they don't.
This was back in 1993, the rape allegations are from 1994, and the lewd tape was from 2005, but there is absolutely NO evidence that Donald Trump has changed in anyway.
This is who he is, this is what he is, and this is who now represents the Republican party in the 2016 presidential election.
And if the GOP does not realize that more is coming they are seriously deluding themselves.
Martin Shkreli, the price-gouging pharmaceutical company executive, was arrested early Thursday morning on securities fraud charges.
The 32-year-old CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals AG became known as the most hated man on the Internet after buying the rights to a life-saving medication and jacking up the price from $13.50 to $750 per pill.
Federal investigators charged Shkreli with illegally taking stock from Retrophin Inc., another biotech firm he founded in 2011, to pay off debts from unrelated business dealings, reported Bloomberg.
He was “unceremoniously dumped” from that company in September 2014 and sued by its board.
The lawsuit alleges that Shkreli used a series of “extra-legal maneuvers” to essentially turn Retrophin into his personal bank — and now the company seeks every bit of money he made off the company.
I know we're not supposed to hope for prison rape, but can't I make an exception just this one time?
I mean this guy is the scum of the earth. In fact I take that back, because it's really an insult to your usual everyday scum.
By the way just in case you think I am exaggerating, recently Shkreli purchased the ONLY copy made of the Wu-Tang Clan's album "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin."
He then said he had no intention of ever even listening to the album, which REALLY pissed off fans of the Wu-Tang Clan and hip hop music.
When asked in an interview about it, Shkreli said this:
In the HipHopDX interview, Shkreli discusses the recent comments from Wu-Tang Clan members who say they wish they could take their album back. “If I hand you $2 million, f—ing show me some respect,” he said. “At least have the decency to say nothing or ‘no comment.’”
If anyone wants to hear his Wu-Tang Clan album, of which there is only one copy, he has a price for that, too. “I’m not going to play it for no reason,” he said. “If Taylor Swift wants to come over and s— my d— I’ll play it for her.”
Like I said......scum. Only much, much worse.
Seriously the only thing I can't understand is, with that shitty of a personality how is he not running for the GOP nomination?
This Daily Beast article talks about Trump's numerous appearances on the Howard Stern show.
The article discusses Trump hitting on a Stern show intern, discussing his daughter's beauty, and confessing that he found Paris Hilton attractive even when she was only twelve years old.
However if that was not stomach churning enough, Trump also called into the show to brag about stealing another man's girlfriend: Stern’s guest that morning was the New York Daily News’ volatile gossip columnist (and E! host) A.J. Benza, who was on to promote his recent tell-all tome, Fame, Ain’t it a Bitch. In the book, Benza claimed that his girlfriend, model Kara Young, had left him for Trump, and that the situation wasn’t exactly aboveboard.
So Trump, under the guise of promoting his Miss Universe Pageant, called in to the Stern Show to lord the situation over Benza, repeatedly belittling the tabloid writer for “stealing” his girlfriend a few years back.
“I stole his girlfriend, but I didn’t know I was stealing your girlfriend,” said Trump, who claimed to have not known Benza was still dating Young while he was with her. “I’ve been successful with your girlfriend, I’ll tell you that,” he later added. “A.J., I won your girlfriend. You know it, she knows it, and everybody knows it.”
This devolves into a disgusting back and forth between Trump and Benza, and eventually results in Trump making this claim:
“Trust me, A.J.—she didn’t love you,” Trump said. “I’m doing you a favor, A.J., she didn’t love you.” He later added, “A.J. doesn’t like Trump for one reason: I stole his girlfriend. I took her away like he was a dog.”
“Hey, A.J., I guarantee you have zero chance. A.J., any girl you have, I can take from you—if I want. Any girl you have, I can take from you. You’re full of shit. So any girl you have, I can take. That I guarantee. And that was proven before.”
And that folks is the man now leading in the GOP race for the nomination to be President of the United States.
You know I kind of hoped that Levi's influence might inoculate the poor kid, but it looks like the Palin pathogen is too virulent.
Bummer.
By the way for those of you worried about Piper's pig, it looks like she has a good home now.
Piper's Instagram went public for a little while yesterday with a picture of her and a dog, which addressed the pig giveaway, but today it is in lock down mode again.
Update: Yep, it looks like Bristol has a new house.
Gee, I wonder if she has new job to go along with it?
Penelope the pig needs a new home! if anyone is interested in adopting her, please let me know!
Okay so how long did it take for the pig to wear out its welcome?
Let's see Penelope arrived in Alaska the Saturday before last on the 6th, the Instagram post is from yesterday the 17th, so let's see...carry the one...that's about eleven days give or take.
Damn! That relationship ended even faster than one of Bristol's "I'm too drunk to drive home" hookups.
Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if Piper gives that pig to somebody living in Wasilla, his chances of ending up on a plate alongside some scrambled eggs is about 99.9%.
P.S. It looks like Willow is not too happy with Piper over this. Here are a few of her comments:
wbf_ So you better delete this
wbf_You can't get rid of her when you have a contract with someone.
piper.p take her then. @wbf
wbf_Delete this dramatic
A contract? With who, Dakota?
I bet a certain Grizzled Mama is not going to be too happy about all of this back and forth on social media.
Update: Okay well in the time since I first wrote this post Piper's Instagram seems to have been taken down.
Family grows with a new critter! Meet Piper's newest - a micro mini pig she's named Penelope.
Yup.
Interestingly enough Palin fails to mention that the pig was a gift from her almost son-in-law Dakota Meyer. Gee I wonder how that slipped her mind?
Of course like most decisions by this family, this is potentially a poor one: Careful thought should be put into purchasing one of these micro-pigs. They are hard work as pets and require the same time and care as a dog. Their environment needs to be enriched and with moveable content – these animals originate from a forest where there would be ample space to rummage around and investigate with their snouts. They need lots of toys and really should have the company of a fellow pig. This all adds up in costs!
The article goes onto stress that these pigs are known to have deformities and that living inside of a home is a foreign environment and not suitable for their needs.
So if the Palins treat this animal with the same lack of care that they have treated their other animals..
...I do not hold out much hope.
However it should be pointed out that Palin does have some experience dealing with pigs.
Oh and by the way it looks as if Palin will be appearing on Hannity tonight so you know she is about to say something horrible and indefensible again.
I'll be joining Sean Hannity tonight on FOX News - if you want to tune in at 10 PM ET.
Of course that picture is misleading because we also KNOW she is not going to be in studio.
According to Willow it appears that the pig is a gift from Dakota.
#repost of mine and @piper.p 's NEW BABY! 😍😍😍😍 thanks @dakotameyer0317 😉 #PenelopeThePig
So does that mean that there is a possible reconciliation in the future between Dakota and Bristol?
Considering that she was a no show at his family's picnic and just drove all across the country in order to retrieve her crap that seems pretty unlikely. So perhaps it's just that certain members of the family are not as pissed off at Dakota as other members of the family.
Hmm, well that could be interesting.
P.S. By the way let's keep ugly comments about Piper to a minimum shall we?
After all I have more important things to do today other then rejecting dozens of your nasty remarks.
She's a child, and she has really done nothing to earn our disdain.
Conservative rocker Ted Nugent on Tuesday lashed out at what he called liberal “a gang of punks” on the Internet for accusing him of being a draft dodger, a racist, and a pedophile.
On Tuesday edition of Newsmax’s Mid-point, Nugent explained how excited he was to join host Ed Berliner for an interview.
“My American dream glows so vibrantly, I might squirt through the phone and stain the entire listening audience. God bless America!” Nugent exclaimed.
“That would be awfully messy,” Berliner noted. “I mean, the paper towels we would need would be horrible.”
“You would need more than that,” Nugent quipped. “I’d recommend an Olympic-sized down-filled comforter with a couple of large friends of mine with Louisville Sluggers to ram it elsewhere. My point being, I’m here to share my effervescence because I’m addicted to truth, logic, common sense and the American way.”
Gee I wonder why people think Nugent is a deviant?
When it came to his political views, Nugent said that his rhetoric was “over the edge” because people like President Barack Obama and NBC anchor Brian Williams had created a “goofy planet of the apes America.”
According to the Motor City Madman, there were a “gang of punks” on the Internet that monitored everything he did.
Nugent then goes on to complain that people online make up quotes out of thin air and attribute them to him.
You mean like suggesting that the first black President had created a "goofy planet of apes" in America?
Nugent then offers up the charges of being a racist or being a pedophile as examples.
Well the pedophile charges come from allegations by Courtney Love that she performed fellatio on Nugent when she was 12 years old, and is kind of backed up by lyrics like this:
Well, I don't care if you're just 13 You look too good to be true I just know that you're probably clean... Jailbait you look fine, fine, fine... It's quite alright, I asked your mama Wait a minute, officer Don't put those handcuffs on me Put them on her, and I'll share her with you
Not exactly words that spring to mind if you are NOT into having sex with underage girls.
MTV is a liberal lump of hippy snot. They are embarrassing. Those big uneducated greasy black mongrels on there, they call themselves rap artists. Excuse me? During a bad bloody case of diarrhea, I got more soul than those guys do at the peak of their life. That's not music. What do you slap some electronic noisemaker and then grunt to it? And this is like soul? No, excuse me, you want to know what soul is? No wonder James Brown went to prison, no wonder Wilson Pickett went to jail, no wonder Chuck Barry went to jail. They're embarrassed by their black brothers. That's not soul. That's not cool. That's stupid.
Well since we are on the topic what about misogyny:
About Hillary Clinton: "You probably can't use the term `toxic cunt' in your magazine, but that's what she is. Her very existence insults the spirit of individualism in this country. This bitch is nothing but a two-bit whore for Fidel Castro."
Yeah you know perhaps people would make up quotes about Ted Nugent to smear his name, but the facts are how could they get a word in edgewise while he is doing that for them?
PROFLOWERS STATEMENT
At ProFlowers, our mission is to delight our customers with fresh and long lasting flowers, and that is our singular focus each and every day. We do not base our advertising decisions to align with any particular political view or opinion as our employees and customers are as diverse as the USA. Mr. Limbaugh’s recent comments went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company. As such, ProFlowers has suspended advertising on The Rush Limbaugh radio program.
I am fairly impressed that ProFlowers is taking this stand, and perhaps the next time I have to apologize to a woman I will give them a ring.
Of course to be honest with THIS kind of thing popping up on their Facebook page, perhaps they just felt they did not have much choice.
