I think the incest angle insinuated by Omarosa was a mistake.

I believe it's 100% true but now it will be too easy for Fox to discount everything she says. The RW pundits will point to this and use it to convince their sheep that everything Omarosa says is bullshit. IMO She should have omitted this observation until she gained some credibility.

I don't care about trying to maintain her credibility. I just care about the tapes, which will speak for themselves. Mueller should be given all the tapes, if that hasn't happened already.

There's nothing that she could say to convince a Dolt45 cultist of anything negative about Agent Orange. Even when confronted with proof, they'd prefer to believe what they feel more than the facts. Those that prefer to watch faux news already have their minds made up.

In the 1990s, Omarosa worked in the office of Vice President Al Gore during the Clinton administration. She later stated the job had been "a very difficult environment, because they don't believe in training. They just kind of throw you in the fire." Gore's former office administrator, Mary Margaret Overbey, has said Omarosa "was the worst hire we ever made"



YEP, she very well couldn't get a job anymore with our side

Things that make you go hmmmmm. There were, literally, hundreds of positions she could have filled in any number of campaigns across the country. She could have applied to work on any state, county, parish or federal campaign. Think tanks, magazines, television stations..... the possibilities were endless for someone with her talents. She did not have to lower herself.
I'm not buying the false choice.
But, hey....she's shown everyone that she knows how to survive. Still waiting on all the detractors to "bow down". Shade, but no shade.



Just to be clear...the shade is to her, not you.

As much as I despise Ivanka, that child, when she was a child, was sexualized and abused by proxy by her father. I don’t think anyone loses credibility when pointing it out.

They are proud of his racist ways and are proud to have a leader so open about it. They will simply live vicariously through the claim of incest. It’s how the Cheeto dust finds its way to their little soldiers.

That's how they'll sell it to the sheep. Fox will say "how can you take someone seriously when they accuse a man of wanting his daughter?" The rubes will buy into it and disregard everything factual that she's got to say.

He supposedly beat his eldest son.
Raped his first wife.
Imagines "dating" his older daughter.

The more he's presented as the creep he is, the better.

is if a tape of him is found where he is role playing with a hooker,making believe she is Ivanka. That would be much more powerful than a pee tape.

The 15 year old girl who claims she was raped by Trump,Dershowitz,Epstein and others claims Trump told her he chose her because of her resemblance to Ivanka.

Trump told Stormy Daniels before they had sex that she reminded him of Ivanka.

Susan McDougal said he liked her because she reminded him of his daughter.

Since this is a recurrent theme I would say there must be a tape out there where he verbalizes that Ivanka is the star of his fantasies.

Even the phony Christians and right wing nuts would have to admit that is a bridge too far.

That does not mean he acted on it.

Now I think he sees her as a loyal caretaker during his old age. Or at least he did see her that way when he found out he was mentally deteriorating. He might be past remembering that now and has surrounded himself with loyalists.

He had them published in magazines and newspapers: they were a species of publicity photo. They are easily obtainable online, and they are as creepy as hell.

He used to go on Howard (Shock Jock) Stern's radio show. More than once he commented on his young daughter's physical attributes, her "rack," and that if she easn't his daughter he'd want to "date" her.

We have him on film during the campaign stroking her sides down to her hips.

Do yourself a favor and actually look this up.

Finally, I don't care what Omarosa (Telenovela) Manigault says. She's a Republican, and doesn't speak for anyone but herself now that she doesn't flack for Trump. She certainly does not speak for Democrats or "our side." Ever.

where someone else brought it up. Virtually no one denied there was, at least, a strong possibility of incest between Ivanka and Trump.
