Of course, if the tape exists and if it got released Trump would throw a loving tantrum and probably do immeasurable damage to himself, but an actual tape like this existing really wouldn't matter at all. Like everything else in this endless parade of scandals, Trump is really his own worst enemy.

yeah completely agree

Trump nodding approvingly and saying gross stuff while Russian hookers piss on the bed Obama slept is honestly a lot tamer than the pussy grabbing tape. I mean, is the piss tape even illegal? Not even that gross other than spiting Obama. Sexual assault and viewing women as sexual objects is a lot worse.

The actual damage would be from Trump going ballistic at its release, because he can't let even the tiniest slight go.

The only long-term memory Trump possesses are grudges.

Nothing matters, trump is an invincible god that will be king of the entire world for 8000 years. Piss tape is great because it's a video of the president making Russian hookers pee while he jerks off while someone secretly taped him for black mail.

I would actually respect him more if he were jerking it while watching the hookers piss. If he just paid the hookers to piss on a bed purely because Obama at one point slept on it, well that's just petty.

You only think "Please God, let me get inside before he starts into his quasi-racist joke."

He almost certainly starts sentences with "I'm not racist, but..." very often.

And then horribly racist poo poo follows, as it always does.

The best way to do it would be to have Trump completely convinced you were going to relases whatever it is you have on him, make sure the rumor gets picked up and is all over social media, let Trump dig himself into a hole vis Twitter and then not release it.

Worth noting Huckabee's candidacy was insane, but just not very noticeable next to Trump's.

From 2011 (he was worse in the 2016 race):

quote:

Mike Huckabee represents something that is either tremendously encouraging or deeply disturbing, depending on your point of view: a marriage of Christian fundamentalism with economic populism. Rather than employing the patented Bush-Rove tactic of using abortion and gay rights to hoodwink low-income Christians into supporting patrician, pro-corporate policies, Huckabee is a bigger-government Republican who emphasizes prison reform and poverty relief. In the world of GOP politics, he represents something entirely new — a cross between John Edwards and Jerry Falwell, an ordained Southern Baptist preacher who actually seems to give a poo poo about the working poor.

Taibblog: Matt Taibbi on Politics and the Economy


"But Huckabee is also something else: full-blown nuts, a Christian goofball of the highest order. He believes the Earth may be only 6,000 years old, angrily rejects the evidence that human beings evolved from "primates" and thinks America wouldn't need so much Mexican labor if we allowed every aborted fetus to grow up and enter the workforce. To top it off, Huckabee also left behind a record of ethical missteps in the swamp of Arkansas politics that make White­water seem like a jaywalking ticket.

He'd have ruined himself long before he failed up into a position that gives him the opportunity to make himself one of the most hated people in the history of the united states and in fact entire world. He'd arguably be better off since he could wind up in jail for the rest of his life, his fortune totally gone, his entire family in prison too. He totally deserves every bit of it but I sure wouldn't want to be facing down the possibility of experiencing that.

That's not the allegation. As I understand it, the allegation is that 19.5% of Rosneft was sold. Trump was given a 0.5% cut in exchange for lifting sanctions on Russia. The remaining 19% was sold to a few other countries, including Qatar.

Reuters posted:

More than a month after Russia announced one of its biggest privatizations since the 1990s, selling a 19.5 percent stake in its giant oil company Rosneft, it still isn't possible to determine from public records the full identities of those who bought it.

...

But important facts about the deal either have not been disclosed, cannot be determined solely from public records, or appear to contradict the straightforward official account of the stake being split 50/50 by Glencore and the Qataris.

pee tape chat:

Is there any proof of Trump's base shrinking due to previous scandals/character flaws that have come out since his inauguration? On one hand, I have to believe that the pee tape would be a bridge too far for some people at least. But on the other, his base has handwoven everything away previously, so this would somehow fuel their support for him because being peed on by women is masculinity.


If McCain won in 2008 and went as nuts as trump, would people have been okay with it? Was there a culture shift between now and then?
