Michael Cohen's book.

I received Michael Cohen’s book yesterday and started reading it late last night. I am about three-fourths of the way through the book.

I am totally disgusted with what Cohen did as a lawyer for Trump for ten years.

I actually had felt a bit sorry for Cohen when he testified before Congress, but I have lost any empathy I once felt toward him and am now just sick to my stomach reading about the schemes, dishonesty, cruelty, lawbreaking, and dirty machinations that took place. In fact, I had to just put the book down and take a break because I am heartsick and disgusted.....and sad, sad to the point of despair.

I am curious what are others’ opinions of this book.

Let me say that I have ordered and read so many books written about Trump, including Mary Trump’s, Rick Wilson’s, Philip Rucker’s, and Bob Woodward’s, to name a few. Though I was often saddened, disillusioned, angry, and/or disgusted reading about Trump in these books, I didn’t experience the profound visceral revulsion intermixed with rage, helplessness, and dismay that I have experienced while reading Cohen’s book.

I have loathed Trump from the beginning, but I never believed that I could access an even deeper level of hatred and loathing within myself. I actually thought I was going to throw up at one point, that is how sickening I found Cohen’s obsequious sycophantic toadying behavior and Trump’s vicious, sadistic, cruel behavior.

I asked my husband, “How? How did these people sleep at night? They are beyond horrible.”

Maybe Michael will redeem himself in the latter part of his book. I guess I will find out later tonight when I finish reading it.

I cannot identify or wrap my mind around anything these people ever thought or did. My husband tells me that “this is how people operate” and he is not surprised by the stories I read to him. I just shake my head in disbelief.

I just sat alone, thinking over what I had read, and I couldn’t help but feel tears start streaming down my face. I am sad. Sad that people this uncaring and cruel walk about on this earth.

Avatars and signature lines.

Hi,

Please forgive me in advance if I somehow overlooked information pertaining to this issue, but I can't see anyone's avatars or signature lines. The only time I was ever able to see them was when we had the forum called "Primaries."

I am a "Star" member, but I am not sure if that has a bearing on this issue or not.

There is probably a simple explanation which I have somehow managed to overlook. Also, I have replied to posts but never started a thread before. I do hope I chose the correct place to post this.

Thank you......

A big thank-you to my thoughtful and kind heart-givers.....they do mean a lot......
