This is some repugnant **** right here from a sitting member of congress.

 

His chief of staff was either trying to jump on his iphone to prevent this tweet or let him tweet this because he's hated by his staff.

Oh, noes!  Everyone's racist uncle in the exurbs is voting for Trump!

So of the living GOP ticket nominees I figure Palin is the only blatant Trump supporter.  You’ve got Quayle, Dubya, Cheney, Palin, Romney, Ryan, and Pence. 

indeed, and Cindy McCain ain't on a Trump train neither.

Paul Ryan has finally seen enough and is not voting for Trump.

The Magas are internetting pretty hard today to spin this as her as a complete liar.  This is a pretty significant wall that Trump wants to keep up to protect his support with the evangelicals who only listen to the friendliest news sources. 

The court sketch artist doesn't like people.  Although Marchan doesn't come off too badly from these images.  

I guess Merchan is not here for the gross stuff. 

Yikes

Trump's bodyguard gave Daniels his contact information, she says

Daniels says after she declined Trump's dinner invitation, his bodyguard Keith Schiller took her cell phone number and then messaged her.

The jury is seeing a photo of Schiller's contact entry in her phone. He's saved as "Keith Trump."

Daniels says the contact was "Keith Trump" because she didn't know Schiller's last name at the time and he worked for Trump. "I do that a lot," to help identify contacts, she says.

She said she had another dinner, but her publicist encouraged her to go to dinner with Trump.

"What could possibly go wrong," Daniels recounted her publicist saying.

She's clearly ramping up to something.

What Stormy Daniels has said as of 11 a.m ET

From CNN Staff

Stephanie Clifford – better known as Stormy Daniels — has taken the stand in the former president Donald Trump’s hush money trial.

Here’s what to know about her testimony so far:

• Why she’s in court?: Speaking quickly, Daniels said she was testifying because she was subpoenaed. Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked her to slow down as she spoke, although CNN reporters in court said she appeared relax on the stand – leaning into the chair’s arm and laughing casually as she recounted her work experience.  

Jurors took notes during her testimony – but were not reacting to her laughs and sometimes blunt testimony.

• Her name: Daniels said she prefers being called Stormy Daniels, instead of Stephanie Clifford.
• How she started her career:  While testifying, Daniels was asked how she got into her career. She said her friend told her she was a dancer, which she thought meant “ballet, jazz and tap. I was wrong, she was an exotic dancer.”
• Daniels said she worked out that through dancing, she could make more than in two nights “than I could shoveling manure eight hours a day.” Daniels continued, noting that she started nude modeling at 21 and then realized she wanted to be a traveling entertainer. She confirmed that she also worked in the adult film industry – saying she won 11 best director awards and two best screenplays.
• Media and books: Daniels said she’s written a book called “Full Disclosure” which she is in the process of finishing. She speaks about movies and music videos she has been in, including “40 Year Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up” as well as music videos. Daniels reveals she has a podcast – and discussed Trump on it.
• Meeting Donald Trump: Daniels was questioned about meeting Donald Trump at the Lake Tahoe celebrity golf tournament. “It was a very brief encounter,” she said. At the time, she was 27 years old and still working for an adult film picture company. Trump was “as old or older than my father” she said, adding that her father was 60.
• Daniels said he later approached her at the golf shop, and said he remembered her, telling her "that I was the smart one."

yeah I've heard the "East of 275" sentiment here too.

I've been in projects with folks from the city and we convene in Livonia and they don't feel save in Livonia. 

I used to go running in the small hours of the morning in Livonia:  I was young and dumb.  I would invariably have a cop shining his q-beam at me as I jogged.

Defense team renews objection to Stormy Daniels testifying about "details of any sexual acts"

Trump attorney Susan Necheles is renewing the defense team's objection to Stormy Daniels testifying.

"We want to renew our objection this morning. We’re informed the second witness will be Stormy Daniels. We want to renew our objection to her testifying, particularly about any details of any sexual acts," she says.

Judge Juan Merchan asks: "Do you mean more than just, 'We had sex'?"

Necheles replies, "Yes, your honor."

"The details of the accounts are important," prosecutor Susan Hoffinger argues, adding the team Is being careful to omit some details that are "too salacious."

only one velvet painting of Trump as Jesus?   psh.... RINO

But, but, i pushed my wife off a balcony as a sacrifice to his love.  I shot up a Anti-Defamation League office to show how much i support him. 

Just now, pfife said:

Not to mention that everyone on the planet knew she'd be a witness. 

I wonder if she will help Trump's defense because she secretly loves him.   Signed: a person with a velvet painting of Trump as Jesus. 

apparently, he just lost his mind about this...

Adult film actress Stormy Daniels will appear in court today per AP.  I would think this will make today more exciting than yesterday.  

Imagine what this team would be with a second Riley Greene

The thing with Tork is sure a puzzle but I'm not sure what can be done.  Anything a writer or person twitter or the internet can say or offer is obviously already known to the team and to him. Sometimes the body can't or won't do what it needs to do.  Hitting is hard. 

I have to say that the one thing that characterizes Torkelson is that he doesn't appear very mentally bright.   I wouldn't ask him to work out the details of an employee picnic based on some of the things I've seen him say and do.   The pizza pizza celebration was unintentionally brilliant tweaking of the mothership, i can't say I perceive any actual subversion behind it.
