Donald Trump should not have fucked Stormy Daniels. Apart from the trouble it's caused in his marriage to Melania Trump, who's living proof that marrying for money may be a dumb thing to do, the then game show host's one-nighter with the pornstar in 2006 returns to embarrass him at a time of numerous other pressures in his life.
There's the ongoing Mueller investigation; Paul Manafort has pled guilty to a string of crimes having nothing to do with Russiagate; Bob Woodward's book, Fear, has produced a desired result--making Trump reportedly distrust everyone around him, except for family members. His pick for Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh, has been accused of attempted rape at a party when he was seventeen. Hurricane Florence, though it lessened to a storm later on, wreaked the usual watery havoc on the Carolinas. Trump went there today "to survey the damage." He assured survivors that "you're going to be all right," that "we're going to fix this."
Puerto Rico and Houston, meanwhile, are still dealing with the devastation caused by their Trump administration era hurricanes. A new study of Puerto Rico's death toll sets it at nearly 3,000 (approximately the same as 9/11). Trump disputes this, blames the estimate on Democrats wanting him to look bad.
"When I left the island," Trump tweeted, "AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths."
Is he ashamed to be this stupid? I have no idea. Does he not realize that the low death toll was an estimate relevant only to the very beginning of the reckoning of how many people died? Isn't this something that everybody who isn't a complete fucking moron would realize--that the death toll was bound to rise, especially given conditions on the island, with many communities cut off, meaning, no reports of casualties coming to news media right away?
Trump shaking hands and giving reassurances to people who've lost their homes in North Carolina doesn't inspire confidence in my government's ability to handle natural disasters. Trump's administration is a disaster. He gripes about his former attorney, Michael Cohen, now in deep shit with the law. He complains about Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from any investigation relating to Trump's presidential campaign. He's pissed at Gary Cohn for stealing papers off his desk. Kavanaugh might be a sexual assaulter. All of these men are people Trump has had the utmost confidence in, calling them "great, fantastic, incredible, wonderful people." His ability to hire good and trustworthy underlings is, evidently, suspect.
Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels' lawyer and cable news pundit, a darling of the Democratic establishment/anti-Trump #Resistance people who also push the Russiagate conspiracy theory, wants to run for president in 2020. He claims he's not interested in running if Trump and Pence aren't running in 2020. He thus sets himself firmly against Trump, a one-issue presidential candidate. This is so much the case that Avenatti also claims that the next president doesn't have to be the best candidate, but should be the one most capable of defeating Trump. Hmm.
That leaves a lot of room for some really shitty politicians and non-politicians being regarded by Avenatti as worthy of the presidency. Avenatti's convinced he can take on Trump. His experience as an attorney will make him such a battler in the arena that Trump will stagger from the bruises.
In my view, putting Avenatti against Trump would be no choice at all--I wouldn't vote for either of those egotists. A reality game show host became president in 2016. A man who became famous for being a pornstar's lawyer wants to run the country. Avenatti, like Trump, is a reality TV phenomenon with no political experience. He made a speaking trip to Iowa. He'll probably compete for the nomination with the likes of Joe Biden and John Kerry. Kerry, who, when interviewed in connection with his new book, can't speak like a normal person but sounds like the dry boring multi-millionaire lawyer that he is.
I skimmed a piece Hillary Clinton wrote in The Atlantic, something connected to the trade paperback reprint of her book What Happened. She outlined why Trump is so dangerous. She writes:
"On the day after [the election], in my concession speech, I said, 'We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.' I hoped that my fears for our future were overblown. They were not."
We owed the close-minded Donald Trump an open mind, for fuck's sake? Hillary Clinton actually thought it possible that Trump would be a good president? I never thought that for a second; consequently, Trump hasn't disappointed me, I knew he would suck. I knew well in advance of 2016 that Donald Trump is a degenerate; that becoming the most powerful man in the world wouldn't change him for the better, but would actually accelerate his descent into a moral sewer occupied also by lying power-hogs like Hillary Clinton.
What shall we do with a psychopathic megalomaniac billionaire? Give him power! What a great idea, America!
Our unlovable tendency to vote for utterly inappropriate candidates for high office may give us President Avenatti, and then we will see how this egomaniacal attorney who signs his correspondence with the pretentious, "Esquire," fulfills the Democratic establishment's continuing goal to enrich itself at the expense of ordinary Americans, the surveillance state intact and strengthened further with new technologies, the war continuing its debasement of everything good this country stands for.
Trump is not the worst we can do. Edward Snowden said a few years ago that the machinery for a totalitarian state in the U.S. is in place. It's a matter of the "right" group of people coming along to implement it. This future group, if it does manifest, may very well be Democrats offering the apparently benign solution of doing away with "threats to our democracy" like Trump, by overthrowing him from within a la Russiagate, or some other method. Whoever does this, if it happens, will not be doing it for the American people, certainly not for democracy. Being democratic by subverting democracy is an oxymoron. Intelligence agencies opposed to Trump are not our friends, either.
Hillary Clinton in her essay spoke out against Trump's "assault on the rule of law," made an endorsement of the idea that Russia "attacked" our electoral process, called Trump's corruption "breathtaking," forgetting her role in facilitating huge donations to the Clinton Global Initiative when she was Secretary of State. Trump "undermines national unity." Here, I guess, she's criticizing the fractious personality that for some reason didn't bother her when she and Bill were friends with him in the "old days" of the last decade.
A dark spot missing from her anti-Trump essay and thoughts is the war. She doesn't mention it even once. This means she has no problem with Trump's war-making. She also has no trouble with Trump's pick of the war criminal and torturer Gina Haspel for CIA Director. She doesn't give a shit that the U.S. is meddling in Venezuela and Nicaragua, seeking to overthrow two foreign governments put into place by vote of their peoples, i.e. democratically. Hillary Clinton doesn't give a shit about democracy except as it applies to her own career. She'll probably run for president in 2020. She just won't go away.
Another person who won't go away is Stormy Daniels. She has a book coming out in October. An excerpt receiving the most attention pertains, of course, to her night twelve years ago with Mr. Trump.
"I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart...It may have been the least impressive sex I'd ever had, but clearly, he didn't share that opinion."
"He knows he has an unusual penis," Daniels continues. "It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool..."
We know that Thomas Jefferson fucked at least one of his slaves, but we don't know what his cock looked like, so this is a great advance in presidential history.
