Marx Bro's Guide to Stormy and The Don's NDA

Believe me, if you watch the whole thing, you will notice many, many similarities. And if you make it to the sanity clause, you will cheer. Groucho's "contract" must be as legally binding as Cohen's.

Would June 14th (tRump's b-day) be a good day for a national protest?

Protest the day he was born. Protest his very existence in this world.

Exclusive!!! THE STORMY "STILL IMAGE" (Puke warning)

I have a source who has another source who knows somebody who once met someone in a back alley who knew Stormy. I used my connections to bring you the "still image" that everyone is talking about. You wanted it, well you got it now baby. Don't blame me if you need to use ten gallons of eye bleach after gazing upon this filth. If you are still interested, scroll down...

Ok DUers, How Many of You Have Bought tRump Brand, Stayed in a tRump Hotel?

How many of you have either personally bought or know someone who has bought a tRump brand product, stayed in one of the tRump hotels, or eaten at a tRump restaurant? The de-branding of tRump Panama made me think of this. His brand is now anathema to all but the most toxic deplorables, but it wasn't always that way. So fess up. What did you buy? Where did you stay? And how awful was it?

Presidents Can Be Impeached Because Benjamin Franklin Thought It Was Better Than Assassination

Older article concerned mostly with Bill Clinton, but still worth reading about what the founding fathers thought of impeachment.

The Founding Fathers wrote impeachment—originally a Roman political institution—into the constitution for the purpose of removing an official who had “rendered himself obnoxious,” in the words of Benjamin Franklin. Without impeachment, Franklin argued, citizens’ only recourse was assassination, which would leave the political official “not only deprived of his life but of the opportunity of vindicating his character.”

It would be best, Franklin argued, “to provide the Constitution for the regular punishment of the Executive when his misconduct should deserve it, and for his honorable acquittal when he should be justly accused.”

The founders also debated on the criteria for impeachment, settling on treason, bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors against the state. “High crimes and misdemeanors” was another term that originated in British law, Chafetz writes. Ultimately, he writes, impeachment on these grounds was better for the country than than assassination. “The Constitution’s impeachment procedures make the removal of the chief magistrate less violent, less disruptive, and less error-prone than assassination.”

President Trump’s close friend and former advisor dumped millions in stock of a steel-dependent company just a week before Trump announced his trade war. That’s an impressive bit of clairvoyance, don’t you think?https://thinkprogress.org/trump-ichan-st


I call it "Operation Cheeseburger!" says The Donald, who hopes the extra loot will keep him well stocked with delicious Big Macs.

Without a PR person, how will tRump survive?

Seriously, if he was at 37% poopularity WITH Hicks, then what will he be at without her? My God, what has she been shielding us from thus far? I am very afraid!
