First Republicans are ignoring Trump is a rapist. I know Civil Court decision, but the judge in the case clarified the verdict. It was rape. 20+ women have credibly accused Trump of assault. I’m not a lawyer. If Trump were a private citizen, would what is public knowledge re the Epstein files be enough to charge Trump?
All of this aside how Trump treats women everyday. Makes Ossoff’s brief comment look tame. Why would Rs not try to keep Harp away from him. For her sake.
1 more question: It’s been reported that Harp did not complete a background check for a year. Then Trump interceded. What does that mean? I don’t think Trump said: Natalie you must play by the rules.
I find it ironic that the MAGA clown in charge sports a MAG(maximum absorbency garment)that astronauts use for long periods. They say the undergarments go 8 hours without the need to be changed 🥴🤮🤢. That’s most likely what’s in the carry on?
Thank you for continuing to share how awful tRump treats women and is an abomination to the office he holds. I feel your angst and am pleased to have a white cis male represent me. This old white grandma feels the conundrum every day. Your words are often not only informative but also allow me to hold back my rage because I feel it in YOU. This is a hard burden. You continue to do hard things and still talk about your family, staff, and community that support and love you. In gratitude.
She's definitely a troubled individual, and her brother says she's suffering from childhood trauma. I'm sure she's a nutcase if she wants to hang out with Trump
Who Trump sleeps with is not on my voluminous list of concerns. The Harp relationship does raise huge national security concerns. He is clearly demented, incapable of leadership, and is known to listen to the last person in the room. So, we have a young woman, in position of huge power, effectively leading the country while Trump runs roughshod over our Constitution and most critical strategic relationships around the world. This is a national security issue that must be addressed immediately by Congress.
Congress could not address an envelope to itself. And even if the Democratic party manages to regain power in Congress, too many of them are going to lean too far to the right to effectively clean house.
No argument with Congress' ineptitude/corruption. Regardless of what they do now or in the future, Congress is not off the hook with me: their overriding responsibility is to execute their Constitutional duties and reflect the concerns of The People. When they don't do this, Vote Them Out. BTW, the current corrupt/cowardly MAGA group should be thrown in jail for their egregious dereliction of duties.
The details of this person's relationship with Trump are irrelevant. She is clearly mentally ill or she wouldn't be in that role. The essential points in Mike's piece are that Trump is now focused on anything other than doing his job and that he has a long and ugly record as a human being. The President of the United States should be a serious person, but Trump is anything but serious. He is a low-life, a criminal and a traitor to America and any one in his orbit is the same or they wouldn't be there. The efforts of decent Americans should be all about limiting Trump's ability to inflict further damage on the country, through the courts, through flipping the houses of Congress, and through resistance at every level.
I cannot disagree with a word you had to say in this, Mike. Every word of it is true. But there is still a bit more putrid icing on this desiccated cake.
It sure as hell sounds like Trump is having some sort of an affair with Harp. Whether it is overtly sexual or not, it sure as hell sounds like an affair. And where has melanoma been through all of this? I don’t think she cares too much although she hasn’t been particularly visible for some time. And maybe that’s why she hasn’t been visible.
But here’s the thing: the sexually obsessed, morality obsessed, cis-heterosexually obsessed Christian right is entirely ignoring this. The people who cannot stop yammering on and on about the sacred heterosexual family, sacred heterosexuality, God‘s plans for men and women, the immorality of everyone but themselves, the need to control women, the ones who ignore the 500 (at least) child molesting priests and pastors who are arrested or convicted or sentenced every single goddamn year…
… yeah, those people…
Are also ignoring this. And they are ignoring it as pointedly as they can.
And yet they still support Trump overwhelmingly despite every bit of this – despite the rulings in the Caroll case, despite the absence of melanoma, despite the obvious affair with Harp, despite his lack of concern over soldiers and civilians dying…
Despite every single contravention of everything that they claim to hold dear.
And if the decent people in this country cannot move those unmovable Trump voters, then it’s always going to be a struggle to keep these corrupt power-sex-money obsessed people out of our government.
I’m not sure how it could be done, but I only know that it must be done.
You are 100% spot on Mike, this is a great post spelling out the dangers of Harp, not her and the orange buffoon's sex life. Ew, I just gagged thinking about it.
The first article I read about this story was that she got into the ‘trunk’ and the vehicle was further described as an suv where she climbed into the back ‘cargo’ area and rode. SUV’s don’t technically have trunks but I took the reference to it as shorthand for the ‘suv cargo area’.
We would not accept Trumps behavior from ANY OTHER President, either party … why do we accept it from him?? Excellent reporting, maybe something, somehow will stick. People, time is running out for us… this cannot go on forever. Hold congress accountable!! Now!!
Voting for republicans means voting for pedophiles, endless wars, and big data centers. Voting for democrats means voting for less money in politics, more money in your pocket, and Medicare for All.
My question is and has always been when will anyone ANYONE in this sick ship of fools stand up to him and say “ Cut the s***” Stop impersonating a president while the country is left in ruins!! Thank God for Ossoff. One shining light in this dismal quagmire we are in.
I still contend that there is a plausible but unproven A-to-B that could explain why 47 flipped out when it was reported that his security team switched from Qatar gift AF1 to old AF1 (i.e., decoy plane). I suspect that it wasn't because the reporting disclosed the inferior defense systems (if that is indeed the case) but because he knew he had used the old AF1 as a decoy and perhaps he ordered the switch to keep his shiny toy from getting blown up.
That would make his priorities in order of importance:
1. Himself and his close aides (Natalie, Walt, Dan)
2. His Qatar jet
3. Media, staffers, and Rubio and Bessent (old AF1 decoy plane).
I wonder if a FOIA request focused on conversations to switch planes would yield anything?
Mike, you said exactly what needed to be said! Well done! Others have stated his day-to-day crimes against our Constitution, his violations of his oath of office, and his thefts of our tax dollars for his vanity projects, as well as his self-enrichment over this first half of his term...all of which about Congress has done nothing. Even Nixon was dealt with because of his crimes.

Damn straight. 👏👏👏 (It must be pointed out, though, that cult followers never do question their leaders; hypocrisy is part and parcel to cults.)

Heard. Yuck. Note: An SUV doesn't have a trunk..... ❤️
The President Beast has a trunk.
The back end is frequently called a trunk.
The first article I read about this story was that she got into the ‘trunk’ and the vehicle was further described as an suv where she climbed into the back ‘cargo’ area and rode. SUV’s don’t technically have trunks but I took the reference to it as shorthand for the ‘suv cargo area’.
Way to co-opt the discussion about a pathetically mentally ill woman.
We would not accept Trumps behavior from ANY OTHER President, either party … why do we accept it from him?? Excellent reporting, maybe something, somehow will stick. People, time is running out for us… this cannot go on forever. Hold congress accountable!! Now!!
This is sad, scary and disgusting all in one.
The choice is clear.
Voting for republicans means voting for pedophiles, endless wars, and big data centers. Voting for democrats means voting for less money in politics, more money in your pocket, and Medicare for All.
