To be released to CNN and Buzzfeed Wednesday at 3PM.

The "grab em by the pussy" comment was written off by Trump as locker room talk, even if it really isn't. Much of the media bought it. Using the N word is another level of bad that can't be written off as locker room talk - all white country club locker room maybe, but it's not quite the same.

and, it won't make a huge dent in his overall numbers, but will increase his "disapprove" level a few points.

We'll see if the story is true.

It may be a set up to let Donald point to another example of "fake news." Or it may be a mistake. Or it may be a lie.

I guess we will know on Wednesday.

I really do not think it will hurt him enough to make a difference. It may be a little embarrassing but everything already put out there about him has not gotten true acknowledgement. I hate to say this but that evil f**k is a dictator and he has most of our government backing him knowing exactly what he is and they like that. We can hope it would hurt him but as far as him and his cabinet are concerned us the N word and the C word are acceptable and is no big deal.

to get rid of him, and at this point, all we have is the 25th Amendment, and gross as these tapes may reveal Trump to be, I doubt it would be enough for a Republican Congress to invoke it.

Stop the inauguration? No.
Weaken him further? HELL YES.

He was able to threaten and intimidate a number of republicans into playing along with him because they needed his coattails to get elected, but you know in their heart of hearts, most of them know he is a complete fucking idiot, and most of them hate him almost as much as we do. They're DYING to take him down, or at the very least, step out of the way and watch his ass fall down.

His poll numbers are ABYSMAL and they know it. They will be more than happy to see his stupid ass do a flying face-plant. And the earlier, the better it works out for them. The less time they have to spend on the record defending his idiocy and pretending he was a legitimate Republican, the sooner they can get back to pretending to be the party of "family values" and fiscal responsibility.

Tue Jan 17, 2017, 06:39 AM
Jan 2017

Apparently Jr, like so many of us, was drinking and drugging up a storm in college and not going to class. Trump had a problem with that, punched him and told him off. In front of everyone. The kind of behavior that gets you a night in jail these days, though 20 years ago, probably not. It did not get much traction though. This pre dates smartphones, so no video.

to take Jr. to a baseball game. Jr. comes to the door dressed in some kind of a sweatshirt, whereby Trump punches him in the face and tells him to 'go change in to a suit", which Jr. then does and off they go to the game. Didn't appear to be about Jr's drinking or cutting class, etc.
