In reply to Roger & Enquirer: smearing Ted & Hillary for Trump?

If Tom Wolfe, say, had written a novel about a crooked NY real-estate developer who became president by covering up his sex scandals in cahoots with a tabloid owner named Pecker, the joke would have seemed silly. It's not that reality is proving stranger than fiction, just dumber

I just think it indicates he was stewing late at night on Weds.

At 8:56 pm he whined this tweet, poor baby:

The only thing that I have done wrong is to win an election that was expected to be won by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. The problem is, they forgot to campaign in numerous states!

then @ 10:28 pm, apparently after watching Tucker Carlsen's show, which did the South African farmers race card baiting, light bulb does off he saw it as a great opportunity to troll everyone away from his problems sent a missive to Pompeo about it and tweeted that he had done so.Oh the humanity, white people being picked on, just like me!

then @ 1:10 am he's tweeting the above, and he is not known to do the Bill Clinton up all night thing

next 3 tweets start 9:44 am Thursday, videos of his interview with Fox, admittedly someone else could have done those for him

So somewhere in EU, not

Another "FLIPPER"! There's got to be an appropriate quote from The Godfather but I can't think of it. Or the Bible, for that matter.

In reply to Interesting how much money

I just had Rachel Maddow's show on in the background. A short while ago she showed some covers of the National Enquirer that smeared Hillary during the late stages of the campaign.Everything from Baba Yaga to Medusa, as you painted it the other day. But the one that was staring at all grocery shoppers the day before the election was most striking, among other things, it screamed that whe was a racist and I could truly see it influencing a few votes in the 'hood in my hometown of Milwaukee.

Interesting how much money

Mr. Pecker is the chairman of American Media Inc., the nation’s biggest tabloid news publisher, which was involved in the payments, which prosecutors have identified as illegal contributions made in violation of campaign finance law.

As prosecutors in New York built a case against Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s longtime lawyer, that resulted in a guilty plea on Tuesday, Mr. Pecker emerged as an important figure. The investigation appears to be continuing, and as a longtime friend and ally of Mr. Trump, Mr. Pecker could have additional information valuable to the prosecutors.

In pleading guilty to campaign finance violations, Mr. Cohen said Mr. Trump directed him to arrange the hush money payments to protect Mr. Trump from embarrassing stories during the campaign. The cooperation of Mr. Pecker is another potential blow to the president from a former loyalist [....]
