It was TOTATALLY a dick move on his part, but it sure as hell was a calculated one.

(10,271 posts)His calculation here amounts to 'better a cuck than a bottom', and sure as hell that's a waistband gun that's gonna go off.
you can be a cuck and be straight. I don't think it means he's bi.
I think that's tea the kid would spill if present.

A few more points about the Falwell's swinging lifestyle and the 2016 endorsement. One thing to remember is that extortion and leverage is often not explicit. It doesn't need to be. We have very strong evidence that Michael Cohen knew about the Falwells secrets and used ...

3/ We forget now but at the time that endorsement was a big BIG deal for bringing evangelicals to Trump. Big deal. Now here's the thing, Cohen is negotiating the endorsement, even if it never comes up, can Jerry really forget that Cohen (and certainly Trump) knows ...

4/ secrets that can destroy Falwell's whole world. Even if it never comes up, even if Cohen says (maybe especially if he says) don't worry Jerry I would never share the sex pics of Becki or go to the press about the three way stuff, you can't ever unring that bell.

(33,643 posts)Any proof that Trump ordered the extortion, or that Cohen let Falwell know he had the photos?
Wonder how he came to possess them (or did he just front that he had them and it worked)? Did he BUY them from the Pool Boy, to use for this purpose? If so, who paid?
Lordy, I hope there are tapes and/or financial records!
Lock him up.

Hank Green: A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor is Out!
