-Trump's doctors letter from the campaign?  The one which said he would be the most fit President ever?  His then-doctor now confirms that it was dictated by Trump.

Shock.  And it's not like he had to have an over the top clean bill of health.  Just something stating he's healthier than Hillary, which he obviously was.


Yeah, I mean she had that brain cancer.  And Parkinson's disease.  In fact, I think she might actually have died last year.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz, I'm sure the Fake News would have covered that.

Right-- I'm guessing every Protestant denomination that ordains women lets them wear collars.  But I figured she was Catholic, what with all her ties to the Vatican.

I've never seen a non-Episcoplian in a collar.

Maybe they only wear it at your crypto-Catholic offshoot Methodist church, which is why you are so vociferous around St. Patrick's Day, to hide your true allegiance, which is to the Great Whore in Rome.  :ph34r:

SHUT UP  <_<

I've seen several Methodist ministers wear collars, plus a few Lutherans and I think Presbyterians as well.  Maybe Baptists and Pentecostals don't do it, but they're weird.

Heard on NPR that the Georgia Peach is retiring at the end of the month.

I thought that Ty Cobb died years ago;  I certainly didn't realize he was still playing.

Looks like Trump hired someone new this week.  Someone with actual experience.

So apparently Rudy admits that Trump paid back Cohen the $130k in hush money.  Despite Trump's denial of same just a few weeks ago.

Dude was prosecutor for the SDNY once upon a time...I wonder if the guy's gone senile.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

The problem with authoritarianism in general, in all walks of life, is that suppression of truth impedes sound thinking for everyone.  Even for those doing the suppression.

No, it doesn't.  Shut up!

Apparently this is just the new version of Trump's story.  Trump has already confirmed making the payments on Twitter (although he denies having an affair - why give hush money to someone who is spreading lies?)

It STILL surprises me this attracts so much attention.  Surely the fact Trump sleeps with a porn star 10 years ago doesn't surprise anyone.  But two thoughts:

-I still question whether this is a campaign finance violation.  Surely there's also extensive personal benefit to Trump in silencing Daniels - so that Melania doesn't find out.

-even if it is a campaign finance violation, how big a deal is it really?  It's not the type of thing people go to jail for I wouldn't think.

I think it's mostly about other investigations.  Trump and Co. have variously claimed that Cohen is his lawyer, isn't his lawyer, barely knows him, does favors but isn't his lawyer and probably other states I've missed.  With all this flailing it looks like Trump effectively gave up Attorney/Client privilege, which lets just about everything that Cohen has on Trump be used.  They may be trying to reassert it, but I'm not sure that will work.

Very similar to the emoluments business (God what a word).  Sure do wish they were violations of law but can't really see they are.

"Imagine if that came out of October 15, 2016, in the middle of the last debate with Hillary Clinton...Cohen made it go away. He did his job." -- Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump's current lawyers. 

I think it can be stated that the election was a consideration here.

"GIULIANI: They funneled through a law firm, and the president repaid it." 

I like the use of the word "funneled" here.  Guiliani is the best lawyer ever.  Perhaps next week, he will all tell us that there is no "collusion" only conspiracy.
