Members of the "Trump cult"

The very definition of deplorables. And how about the apocalypse survival buckets they are selling?

New info from Comey's memos...

Funny how the Steele dossier lines up with the events @ Ritz Carlton Moscow


1) There was a FISA warrant on Flynn. We'd already figured that out, but I don't think it's been confirmed. It's redacted in this document, but the answer that fits in the space according to specialists is "was yes".

2) Trump lied repeatedly about whether he stayed in Moscow the night of the alleged pee tape.

He said he didn't.

Multiple witnesses, including his own body guard Schiller, have confirmed that Trump did stay at the Ritz that night.

Witnesses (again including Schiller) have also confirmed that he was offered prostitutes for that same night.

The BBC and Guardian reported months ago that they have witnesses who say they were in the lobby of the Ritz the night of the allege pee tape and confirm that there was a scene between Trump and his people versus security at the front desk. Trump was trying to get women up to his room without signing them in. One of the witnesses is a Trump Org employee.

3) Trump's defense is that he's a germaphobe and wouldn't watch people pee on each other.

First, urine is sterile, but Don isn't smart enough to know that. Second, as Comey points out, the Presidential suite is probably fairly large and he wouldn't be in the splash radius.

4) Trump claims he doesn't know Sergei Millian, but he does.

5) Putin may have called Trump to congratulate him and Flynn took 6 days to tell Trump this, pissing Trump off. This is redacted, but fits in the space for the redaction and fits the rest of the context.

6) The Steele Dossier had already been found credible by the FBI. It was "coroborated by other intelligence" and the FBI considered Steele highly credible. The White House was told about this no later than Feb 8, 2017 and has been lying about it for more than a year.

7) The White House knew Flynn was under a FISA warrant. They found out about it no later than Feb 8, 2017.

8) Trump and Putin talked about hookers on the phone. Putin told Trump Russia had some of the most beautiful hookers in the world.

Trump lied to me about his wealth to get onto the Forbes 400. Here are the tapes.

"In May 1984, an official from the Trump Organization called to tell me how rich Donald J. Trump was. I was reporting for the Forbes 400, the magazine’s annual ranking of America’s richest people, for the third year. In the previous edition, we’d valued Trump’s holdings at $200 million, only one-fifth of what he claimed to own in our interviews. This time, his aide urged me on the phone, I needed to understand just how loaded Trump really was.

The official was John Barron — a name we now know as an alter ego of Trump himself."

The tapes are fascinating, what a fraud
