According to The Morning Call, stripper and pornstar Stormy Daniels was scheduled for two shows last night at an Allentown adult club. This is not news, but sensationalism brought on by a gold digger represented by a financially distressed lawyer who knows that sex sells.
At one time this summer, the coverage was so intense that it was actually crowding out far more important news about a chemical attack in Syria and how America should respond. A narcissistic reality TV star who thinks he is more popular than Abe Lincoln now occupies the nation's highest office. What he is doing in that capacity has me far more concerned than someone trying to enrich herself at his and this country's expense.
Trump has launched a trade war against China and our closest allies. He has insulted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and English Prime Minister Theresa May. He has actually called the European Union our foe while referring to someone whom some call his handler, Russian President Vladimir Putin, as a "fine" person and North Korea's Kim Jong Un as a "funny" guy with a "great personality."
It seems the only foreign leaders he likes are fellow Authoritarians.
We should be focused like a laser beam on what he is doing in office.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I mean, she's not the most important news, but she's not fake news. Trump had an affair with her while his wife was pregnant and then had his lawyer pay her hush money during the campaign so she wouldn't talk, possibly violating campaign finance laws. That's not nothing, and I don't see how her earning money by doing her job comes at the country's expense.
ReplyDeleteThe bunch of dopes that suppor this guy are someday going to try to distance themselves from their support. I want names to be named when the proverbial shit hits the fan.
ReplyDeleteAfter an 8, maybe even 10 year decline, President Trump is slowly but surely making America great again!
ReplyDeleteI am honestly curious as to what you think is getting better that wasn't getting better when he took office. The economy has been improving since 2010 or so, we still have soldiers in the middle east, and we're now in multiple trade wars that are going to hurt farmers and are prompting manufacturers to move their operations overseas.
ReplyDeleteIf Trump and Fox says its getting better, damn it,it is getting better. Anyone who says otherwise is fake news and a socialist liberal.
ReplyDeleteContext matters, unless you have an agenda, right Bernie?
ReplyDeleteCalled the EU a foe? Let's try the whole quote next time.
"Well, I think we have a lot of foes. I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now, you wouldn't think of the European Union, but they're a foe. Russia is foe in certain respects. China is a foe economically, certainly they are a foe. But that doesn't mean they are bad. It doesn't mean anything. It means that they are competitive," Mr. Trump said at his golf club in Turnberry, Scotland."

I would love for someone to explain what exactly "good" Trump has done for this country since been in office. Everything that will be cited was already happening during the Obama administration. Job creation, lower deficit, stock market, etc. Tell me one thing Trump has actually done.
ReplyDeleteBO, you are obviously being ate up with jealousy
ReplyDeleteTrump, Trump, Trump. Your blog used to be interesting and informative, now its turned into a left-wing soundboard, just like the mainstream media!
ReplyDeleteHe finally called Germany on their pipeline deal with Russia and demanded NATO partners step up and keep their 2006 funding promise after they said the check was in the mail and should arrive in 2028. I don't like Trump. But I like the way he's handling foreign policy. I too was scared of him. He's made the last three guys look very weak.
ReplyDeleteMaking NATO partners look weak is precisely what Putin wants. If Putin can weaken NATO and other U.S ties with its western allies he will benefit much more than any one pipeline. He wants sanctions off of his rich friends, not more which is what a U.S. president who was loyal to his country would do after the latest charges handed down from Mueller against Russian state employees. The man in the White House is either a traitor or someone whose thin skinned ego won't let him do what needs to be done against a country that has committed serious crimes against our country. He is assuring these crimes will continue by not putting the full weight of the presidency behind their punishment in order to reign them in.
ReplyDeleteTrump is now in the process of using a relationship with Russia, to get Trade and Nato concessions from the EU and China. All the while, the media would rather talk about porn stars and portray Trump as a a Russian agent. It is so obvious that the media is so biased, it does ignore some events while obsessing on others.
ReplyDelete9:54. As U.S. citizens begin to lose their jobs perhaps folks like you will be clued in to the ineptness of Trump trade policies....although I doubt it. I've read interviews with them wherein they regret their looming job loss but say they still support this P.T. Barnum in the White House. It's a cult of personality plain and simple. His supporters hang on every word FOX feeds them and cheer mindlessly as he babbles incoherently at rallies. Its depressing how far people will go to defend their own regrettable choice.
ReplyDelete6:59, I did not quote Trump's remark, and the fact is that he did call the EU a foe. It makes no difference that he made this remark in the sense of trade. He called a collection of our closest allies a foe. Try telling those nations what context he meant. Try coming up with a nation who wants only the US to benefit in trade. Let's face it. He has alienated our closest allies while ingratiating himself with our true enemies. He's like the Manchurian candidate elected.
ReplyDelete8:11, NATO countries have been stepping up their defense spending, but like a little baby who wants his bottle now, Trump wants them to accelerate that schedule and increase over what is agreed. As for the German pipeline agreement, I think the evidence is mounting that Trump, and not Germany, is a captive of Russia. He is doing everything Putin, his KGB handler, wants.
ReplyDelete10:47. How much did Mrs Clinton receive from the Russians in campaign funds? I believe you're referring to the wrong person as the "Manchurian Candidate".
ReplyDelete10:54 “This is my last election ... After my election I have more flexibility,” Obama to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, 2012
ReplyDelete"How much did Mrs Clinton receive from the Russians in campaign funds?"
ReplyDeleteZero. That lie was circulated by a Fox commentator, but there was no evidence. Sorry.
11:08, But Obama refused to bend to Putin, which explains why Putin was pushing Trump.
ReplyDelete2:03. I hope someone cuts off your Kool-aid supply
ReplyDeleteDid we just witness an axt of Treason. This persident looks so apologetic and pathetic ne,t to Putin. Trump blaming America was an insult to the men anx wome who served and are serving. Trump took a knee on our flag today.
ReplyDeleteAll news is "fake news" since Knight Ridder was busted-up by McClatchy.
ReplyDeleteNATO has been dead since the Soviets annexed Crimea. And yes, Russia is still Soviet. Obama was smug when Romney was right Trump's foreign policy is a marked improvement. We're a long way from fake red lines and more flexibility after the election. Trump has been a pleasant surprise for the better. Eisenhower said it was better to be feared and respected than loved by the international community. Bush was a cowboy and Obama was weaker than Carter. We're safer today than when those guys were screwing things up. I didn't vote for Trump. I would now, though.
ReplyDeleteNato members want to come up to 2% in 6 more years, that is bullshit, Trump should let them know that article 5 will only be valid after 2024. As for trade, why not eliminating all tariffs and restrictions on trade by everyone. That is real free and fair trade. But many like crony trade deals, nations, corporations and politicians who are rewarded for implementing those things.
ReplyDelete"NATO has been dead since the Soviets annexed Crimea. And yes, Russia is still Soviet."
ReplyDeleteUm, NATO was far more critical of the annexation than Putin's client, Donald Trump, was today.
Why dont they mass the troops on the border of Russia, demand they withdraw from Crimea and the Ukraine, hand over the hackers and hang them all. Why dont the Democrats and the Trump haters demand action. Vote in the senate to send in NATO, Want to see the rats in Nato scatter. Want to see the big talkers in the senate. No, they want criticize any attempt to better relations, they want to do a lot of war talk. There is a lot bullshit and talk, but none of that is going to happen. There is nothing more important than political advantage at any cost to the country.
ReplyDeleteP{reach it, comrade. Vladimir will be so happy to see so-called conservatives who are really lemmings who do as they're told. Jump! Bark! Roll over! Good boy.
ReplyDeleteBernie,you were good friends with Stormy’s brother Jack=Jack Daniels.
ReplyDeletePresident Donald Chamberlain has cleared things up. He said Putin told him that Russia didn't interfere so that is that. Not since Munich has a world leader been so duped. Of course even though a majority of Republican and Democratic leaders disagree, the loyal American Trumpsits will stand behind our lovable appeaser.
ReplyDeleteWe need to attack Russia now, why wait, lets get it over with. Restart the draft, call up the reserves, make the world a better place.
ReplyDeleteWe now know Trumphas more malevolence towards Canada than Russia. Comrade Trump says Putin is our friend unlike a questioning Press or the DOJ. He certainly is making America grate again.
ReplyDeleteYer right O'hare. That damn Trump is a pussy. We should launch another fire and fury strike on those commie reds and nuke 'em into the next universe. Ask Chuck U. Schumer and Nancy Piglosi to lead the pink pussy hat brigade.
ReplyDeleteAnother day, another Trump hit piece.
ReplyDeleteLame Stream Media sure made themselves look like fools today ... AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteLove your work more than ever these days, Bern. Please be as unhinged and off the rails as you like. And, whatever you do, don't stop thinking about tomorrow and all the outrageous accusations you can potentially hurl at Donald Trump!!!
Thanks.
Even real republicans and even--Fox News is throwing some shad. However, that will not deter the fans of Vladimir Trump. His people are loyalists to him. He is their leader and the servant of God sent to America as stated by one of the alt-right pastors.
ReplyDeleteAll Hail Trump. king of the dummies!
Obamunism sucked. Enjoy the recently enacted Trump Tax Cuts while steadfastly maintaining present course. Booming economy, record low unemployment numbers for African-Americans as well as Hispanics. Ditching the dopey Global Warming Hoax deal, telling NATO members to pay their fair share and leveling America's harmful trade imbalances - exactly what is there not to like about Trump's oft stated desire to make America great again?
ReplyDeleteWhy do repuicanz support a President who hates America? Sure looked like an Apology tour to me at the expense kf our Nation. Obama legacy looks much better now. As far as NATO, it is not how much you spend, it is if you are there when duty calls. They werr there after 9 -11. I can assufe you therr is more waste in our mi litary spending thN yku cs n ever imagine. Some areas are a govt funded stimulus program that are not mission critical. It is a use or lose budgets and tbey have no problem spending every penny.
ReplyDelete"repuicanz"??????????
ReplyDelete"Obama's legacy looks much better"? Um. Okay. Sure. Whatever!
I just read how and why she was arrested, and the big news here if any, is that there are some civil servants that are absolutely disgraceful tax leaches, that should be on a street corner selling pencils from a cup.
ReplyDeletePutin Trump good- American government bad!
ReplyDeleteTime to finally produce even the slightest shred of evidence or end the obvious witch hunt once and for all. Agent Strzok certainly has not covered the FBI in glory despite his desire to castigate people for daring to bring up his extra-martial affair with the other FBI agent up to her eyeballs in bogus 'investigations'. Where is the Democrat National Committee's missing server, you know, the one that could answer so many relevant questions?
