Don't let the apoplexy over #goldenshowers fool you. The underlying, huge, developing story is not over, and not limited to U.S. journos.Joy Reid added,

2. This all brings to mind the Christine Keeler / John Profumo affair of 1963.

5. let's hope it helps bring about the same outcome (PM resignation, and subsequent Tory GE defeat)

3. The real problem is that nobody gives a sh*t about any of this

except for the 66 million of us who voted for Hillary. Trump was totally correct when he said that he could shoot someone on Broadway at high noon and he wouldn't lose a single vote. Start fracking everywhere? Fine if it creates jobs. Drill for oil in Yosemite or Yellowstone? Fine if it creates jobs. And look at all the construction jobs building the wall will create. And all those jobs will get all those lazy bums on unemployment and welfare who sit around all day in the air conditioned homes watching their wide-screen, hi-def TV's on premium cable and eating steak and lobster and drinking French wines, bought with food stamps paid for with our tax dollars.

That's what the sweeping mass of rural, low-information voters believe. So if Trump can hire a bevy of prostitutes and have fun, so what? He earned it and some of it will trickle down to me.

And that, my friends, is the problem. And the GOP is happily going along.

4. Exactamundo.

6. unfortunately its not just rural voters, plenty of urban and suburban bampots as well

[radical noodle]

8. Yes and his vilification of the press

is something they embrace. The chasm is so wide that I'm not sure they will ever live in reality again.

12. There are some stupid folks out there!

Every time I drive into town I see guys AND gals pushing a shopping cart and stopping to climb into dumpsters and clawing thru trash cans for cans and bottles to redeem. You hafta ask yourself: Why don't these dummies just sit around all day in the air conditioned homes watching their wide-screen, hi-def TV's on premium cable and eating steak and lobster and drinking French wines, bought with food stamps paid for with our tax dollars. I mean - how the heck can they ignore a life of ease that's just a request away?

Just this Monday, they uprooted a homeless encampment along a shallow river about a mile from here - on land that the owner willingly looked the other way on. The "justification" was that nearby residents were edgy about those "unkempt" trash pillagers would go on a crime rampage. Right. There's nothing more enterprising than pushing stolen goods around in a shopping cart, trying to sell them to passers-by or maybe door-to-door.
The truth is that in this blood red part of a reliably blue state cannot STAND to admit they've got homeless folks trying to simply stay dry and keep their stomachs from grinding. Certainly their fortunes are gonna turn around with Cornucopia Trump takes the helm!

16. If you can get your hands on it - you should watch HBO Presents Redemption, About Struggling Can

Collectors" Amazingly moving.

Maybe if all homeless people camp out in front of Trump golf clubs he might do something. Of course, he won't know about it since he won't talk business with his sons !

11. Please edit that word as it is not OK for DU use. Thank you

[world wide wally]

9. I have little doubt that the story about the golden showers is true.

When a man of his character has seen it all and can afford anything, it is just one more cheap thrill. What on Earth would stop him from doing this?.... Principles?

Right

[okieinpain]

10. just think now not only is mr. trump on the line

but the whole republican party. they will now have to do anything to keep those tapes from coming out. if russia makes a big move somewhere and we don't respond you will know why.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. think the tape will be great for us..but would

Really like to see them nail people communicating with Russia during election. Although Trump would probably just say he had no idea. Hmm...if it all comes out..guess it will just be for our pure enjoyment.

[okieinpain]

17. i'm really starting to get concerned

that this whole deal with trump is going to be the story of the century maybe even the story of the country with an american president being compromised by a foreign entity.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. concerned? or happy :)

[JI7]

19. concerned because of nuclear weapons and who could get a hold of them

[okieinpain]

21. you know i'm really not sure. lol. n/t.

[okieinpain]

20. and yes i would enjoy it. n/t.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. See tRump's eyes NOT look at the woman's face. He is talking to her breasts. . . nt

[salin]

14. He doesn't look so germaphobic, here.
