Yes, he IS.

LOVE it!

That's why ALL that stuff from all those conversations we don't know about -

are what trump is trying to bury behind lock and key. And preferably 10,000 leagues beneath the sea.

If you've done anything wrong, then what do you have to hide, donald?

Michael Avenatti's kind of a sleepy guy, but he did come up with one magnificent quote:

"Those who have nothing to hide - hide nothing."

I loved that quote so much I not only wrote it down but used it in the "Inspirational Opening" for one of our Indivisible group's Call-to-Action emails for the whole membership, last year.

SO much relies on the unspoken "understandings" here.

And that tweet included here, with the Ukrainian president and trump shaking hands, what on earth should we expect the poor sap to do? He’s asked if he felt pushed, with the big capo who was the one pushing him so hard and so relentlessly SITTING RIGHT THERE? WHILE he’s being asked if he felt pushed by the same big Mafia don who’s sitting there literally inches away?

What the hell do you expect the poor schmuck to say? The don is as much as holding an invisible knife to his throat.

The same dynamic applied to the now-infamous “transcript.” You won’t find trump saying “here. I’m bribing you to go bigtime mess up this potential rival. And you know that money you think we’re gonna send you? Get me some dirt on my rival or you can kiss that money goodbye.”

No. trump would never do it that way. He’s all about insinuation and suggestion and staging unspoken messages and clues and tip-offs. He’s more of the “gee, nice little set-up you got there, dude. It’d be a shame if something happened to it...” type of manipulative mind-fucker.

And then he can look you straight in the face and lie to you that he never threatened to rough you up, rape your wife and daughter and burn your house down.

If he fancies himself a big-ass Supreme Generalissimo then of course he wants

to surround himself with a lot of military brass. Don’t forget, he still wants his big-ass orgasmic military parade, too. Simply MUST look like the Tough Guy of All Tough Guys. With ALL the trappings.

That's why we worked our tails off for two years.

So we could at least take back the House.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
