    Republicans are so fucking weird. Trump’s disgraced third hooker wife has to host a fundraiser while her husband is being tried for committing criminal fraud while bribing a porn so they can collect campaign contributions from a group of people that the Republican Party intends to legislate out of existence.

    Back in the day, a young Donald Trump was mentored in New York politics by the legendary Roy Cohn. Cohn had been Joe McCarthy’s righthand man during the 1950s and had carved out a reputation as one of the meanest lawyers in Manhattan. When Cohn was diagnosed with AIDS and outed as a gay man, Trump abandoned him cold.

      Supposedly there are conflicting stories about that. I forget the exact details but basically as I recall there are two sources, I think the switchboard operator and the secretary. One says he stopped speaking to him altogether and the other says they kept talking, Trump was the last person to speak to him before he died and all Trump did was move his legal matters to an attorney who wasn’t literally dying.

    Yes a quiet event because it was her style… Or was it a quiet event because they’re trying to court the LGBT conservatives while not pissing off all of the bigots in their party?

    How the fuck are any LGBT people pro-trump? The dude hates their existence and the party is actively trying to criminalize their lifestyle…

    Oh wait, they’re still only openly anti-trans, so the log cabin republicans can pretend they won’t be on the block once the trans “problem” is taken care of. But surely they won’t be targeted, they’re one of the good ones! Just like our ol’ buddy Ernst.

      Do tell, I was thinking of eggs and toast. All in all, far more fascinating than this article or its content.

        King Cobra and dry roasted salted peanuts. Yeah the beer is from Anheuser Busch, but I’m not one that gets pissy whenever people change or forget their gender.

        I also like feta cheese and spinach pizza, but apparently it’s fried chicken tonight.

            Welp, roommate always full of surprises. What I thought was gonna be fried chicken turned out to be fried fish.

            Whatever, between that and the mashed potatoes, I got a full belly and about to go to sleep…

      Red chile sauce with poached eggs for me, then later a bottle of Vinho Verde. Pretty decent so far.

    What would cause her to help the campaign?

    She could have just faded into history and some people could have believed she was just stuck in a bad place.

    But now she is choosing to go back in?

    Byron is 18 now, so he will be off to college, so she won’t be able to use “mothering my son” as an excuse to escape the White House if her husband wins. She will have to be around her husband all the time.

    What horrible secrets is she hiding about herself that she needs her husband to win?

      Felonious Trump needs money? Who knows what insanity is in the pre-nup trump made her sign. He’s gotta make his family get out there and make him money. I don’t think she’s that devious, she just rides around on trump money and probably has zero control in the relationship. She’s just a shitty human being, which most people seem to know.

    Does nobody remember the Trump presidency arguing that organizations should be able to ban same sex couples from adopting children?

    She’s so clearly doesn’t want to be first lady again, which I can’t blame her for really, why is she even doing this?
