the rich asshole budget director says Obama ‘weaponized’ shutdown and this time will be different

BY JORDAN FABIAN - 01/19/18 11:30 AM EST

White House Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said Friday that if the government shuts down, it won’t be as bad as 2013 because the Obama administration did things to make that shutdown worse.

Mulvaney said “the Obama administration weaponized the shutdown in 2013” for political purposes by closing popular attractions like national parks. He claimed the rich asshole administration isn’t planning to do the same.

“We're going to manage the shutdown differently. We're not going to weaponize it," the budget director told reporters at the White House. "We’re not going to try and hurt people, especially people who work for the federal government."

Despite his pledge, Mulvaney struggled to name ways the shutdown would be different than 2013 — other than keeping parks open.

The message appeared to conflict with President the rich asshole's claims in the past few days that the shutdown could have a devastating effect, especially for the military.

Mulvaney said military personnel and border patrol agents would continue to report to work, but would not be paid.

Before the government closed in 2013, Obama signed a law that ensured the military would be paid throughout the shutdown. the rich asshole has signed no such legislation.

The budget chief also said Post Office and the Transportation Security Administration workers would remain on the job, but they also did so five years ago.

The message appeared to conflict with President the rich asshole's claims in the past few days the shutdown could have a devastating effect, especially for the military.

The blame game was in full swing at the White House, just hours before government funding is set to run out.

Mulvaney said his office is “preparing for what we are calling the Schumer Shutdown,” referring to Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).

At the same time, the White House said the rich asshole is working behind the scenes to help lawmakers strike a last-minute spending deal.

the rich asshole called bipartisan members of Congress on Friday morning and will continue to have conversations today, according to legislative director Marc Short.

“There is no way you can lay this at the feet of the president of the United States,” Mulvaney said.

The government will shut down after midnight without a new funding deal.

DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!

President some rich asshole is meeting with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to try to hammer out a deal to keep the government running.

Some of the president’s followers, however, are concerned that the rich asshole will reportedly be meeting with Schumer one-on-one, as they fear the Senate minority leader will completely roll the president on any deal related to immigration.

In fact, as prominent the rich asshole backer Mickey Kaus puts it, his “MAGA hat is ready to burn” if the rich asshole emerges from the meeting with a bad immigration deal.

Check out the top reactions from the rich asshole fans panicking below.

the rich asshole has no idea how the diversity visa lottery actually works

"The rich asshole doesn't know how anything works." FTFY

"To attack this program is to attack the American dream."

E.A. CRUNDENJAN 19, 2018, 10:01 AM

Amid the prospect of a government shutdown, President the rich asshole is doubling down on a number of immigration demands, including increased security and funding for a southern border wall. The president is also targeting a program rarely reflected in national conversations about immigration: the diversity visa lottery program.

Throughout immigration talks, the rich asshole has repeatedly called for a merit-based immigration system, positing it as an alternative to “the lottery,” a system he has decried. Much of that rhetoric emerged following an extremist attack in Manhattan last year, when 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov drove a van into a crowd. Saipov, who came to the United States on a diversity visa from Uzbekistan, drew the rich asshole’s ire immediately.

“The terrorist came into our country through what is called the ‘Diversity Visa Lottery Program,’ a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based,” the rich asshole tweeted, leveling blame at the Senate minority leader. “We are fighting hard for Merit Based immigration, no more Democrat Lottery Systems. We must get MUCH tougher (and smarter).”

That juxtaposition has since dominated much of the rich asshole’s rhetoric on immigration, leaving immigration advocates baffled.

“It’s confusing because, well, the diversity visa program is actually a merit-based system,” Anu Joshi, Immigration Policy Director for the New York Immigration Coalition, told ThinkProgress. “On its face what he’s saying just isn’t correct.”

Some of the confusion might come down to language. Congress created the Diversity Immigrant Visa program in 1990, largely in response to lobbying by Irish and Italian Americans who felt their families were facing struggles in immigrating. The program has largely enjoyed bipartisan support and makes up a relatively small sliver of U.S. immigration more broadly. Functioning as a green card lottery, the program allows citizens from various underrepresented countries to live and work in the United States as permanent residents. Those recipients in turn “diversify” the U.S. population. They also have to meet a number of merit-based factors, including a certain level of education or comparable work experience.

Many diversity visa applicants are eliminated because their home countries have simply used up the slots allotted them over a span of five years. That factor alone means that the lottery excludes countries like India, China, and Mexico. Eastern European and African nations are among those most likely to benefit from the program, along with a number of smaller Asian countries.

The diversity visa program exists largely to give many people without family ties the chance to immigrate to the United States, but even then, the odds are slim. Only around 100,000 people are even chosen for the program (despite the fact that more than 10 million usually apply). Of those, only half will ultimately immigrate, following the same vetting measures as any other group — background checks, interviews, health examinations, and a number of additional measures.

The program itself is hardly a “lottery,” Joshi said.

“Lottery is a misnomer. This phrase came into effect because there is no backlog,” she explained. “It’s not really a lottery at all. It’s a very intensive program; very few people actually make it through.”

the rich asshole’s comments have only fueled confusion over the program. Bipartisan immigration efforts — including attempts to protect recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — have increasingly come up against aggressive White House demands, including the usual requests for increased border security, a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as major alterations (or an end) to diversity visas.

While some have suggested that the rich asshole might force Congress to eliminate diversity visas before he’ll give them a deal on DACA, it isn’t a popular move.

“It’s nothing new from this administration and the reality is that immigrant communities won’t fall for it,” said Joshi. “Anything that tries to pit DREAMers [DACA recipients] against their parents, diversity visa holders…is a non-starter.”

The president’s focus on on diversity visas has worried advocates. For many low-income immigrants, the visa is their only chance to immigrate. Without the program, many won’t be able to come to the United States.

“The diversity visa program has been a life changer for many Nepali families,” said Pabitra Khati Benjamin, executive director of Adhikaar, a non-profit human rights group that serves Nepali speakers. “[It’s] opened the door to many who in the past could have never dreamed of coming to the United States. This includes people from countries that the rich asshole considers ‘shithole’ countries, but are where our families live, [as well as] countries that have historically had lower rates of migration to the United States as a result of foreign policies that have left small countries with struggling economies.”

Benjamin told ThinkProgress that, between 2005 and 2013, approximately 20,912 people immigrated from Nepal through the diversity visa program. Many, she said, serve as the sole providers for their families back home in Nepal, all while making contributions to the U.S. economy.

“The rich asshole administration is adamant about eliminating this program for its lottery nature,” Benjamin said. “However, the system already has educational requirements, fees for the application, and a rigorous interview process. It is not as simple to acquire a diversity visa as the rich asshole administration states. I have a number of family members in Nepal that have applied for [the visa] five times, each time having to pay hundreds of dollars, going through a cumbersome and often humiliating interview process and then having their application thrown out right in front of them.”

That’s not how the administration spins the program. the rich asshole has repeatedly pointed to the visa as a method through which the “worst people” are drawn from a “bin” at random. Instead, he has argued for a system that benefits highly-skilled, English-speaking immigrants. That rhetoric, of course, is at odds with the White House’s crackdown on both H-1B visas, which are afforded exclusively to highly-skilled immigrants, and the diversity visa program, with its stringent education and work requirements.

Advocates for diversity visas have noted that ending the program would have a huge impact on both U.S. culture and global stability.

“The immediate impact would be that we would, just from the start, have a less diverse community in this country,” Joshi said.

The ramifications would hit certain countries especially hard.

“Nepal has gone through a tumultuous decade of civil war and now an unstable government,” Benjamin explained. “If this system is revoked, and we rely only upon bringing over highly educated individuals from countries with already-high rates of immigration, we risk creating an imbalance [that would allow] the rich to get richer and the poor to be stuck in the cycle of poverty.”

The administration’s fixation on diversity visas isn’t likely to end any time soon. Joshi believes that’s a risky gamble.

“For many immigrants, it’s their only opportunity [to come here]. These are people who are willing to take risks in order to immigrate,” she said. “Just the idea of this program serves as a model for the American dream for so many people. To attack this program is to attack the American dream.”

‘This is huge — but I can’t tell you why’: Cuomo ridicules House intel member over GOP’s latest attack on the FBI

Taking up the latest attempt by House Republicans to derail the special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation in Russian collusion by attacking FISA warrants that picked up evidence before the election, CNN host Chris Cuomo mocked a House intel member for trying to bring down ex-President Barack Obama.

“I viewed the classified report from House Intel relating to the FBI, FISA abuses, the infamous Russian dossier, and so-called ‘Russian collusion.’ What I saw is absolutely shocking,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) said Thursday night.

In a statement, Rep. Adam Schiff, (D-CA) pushed back at the far right conservative onslaught, issuing a statement reading: “Rife with factual inaccuracies and referencing highly classified materials that most of Republican Intelligence Committee members were forced to acknowledge they had never read, this is meant only to give Republican House members a distorted view of the FBI. This may help carry White House water, but it is a deep disservice to our law enforcement professionals.”

Asked by host Cuomo to explain the “release the memo meme” that has fired up conservatives, Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) tried to sell the CNN host on the idea that whatever is in the memo — reportedly authored by Republican Devin Nunes (CA) — is a blockbuster.

“It’s primarily dealing with the Department of Justice and FBI and imagining this, did they propose or provide information to the FISA courts, and was that information accurate? That’s the essence of this,” Stewart asserted.

“You believe you have proof that a judge allowed warrants in violation of the legal standard for those warrants?” Cuomo pressed.

Stewart demurred, saying: “I’m not going to elaborate on it other than that.”

“That is a pretty loaded suggestion, though,” Cuomo shot back before mimicking Stewart with, “‘This is huge but I can’t tell you why.'”

“Yeah, once again, we want to declassify this as quickly and to the greatest degree that we can so that the American people can know,” Stewart continued. “I’ve been alluding at this for months now saying there is so much that is concerning about some individuals at the Department of Justice and the FBI.”

“To be very clear, I’m not casting a wide net across the FBI,” the Utah Republican said backing up.”They are dedicated public servants. We’re talking about a few individuals in very senior leadership positions.”

“It is being pitched as something that will bring down the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton,” a deadpan Cuomo quipped.

“I think that’s rather dramatic,” a nonplussed Stewart replied. “I don’t think that’s the outcome from this.”

Omarosa trying to lawyer up, may have secretly taped White Houseconversations

JANUARY 19, 2018

President the rich asshole’s former spotlight-seeking staffer Omarosa Manigault-Newman might have secretly recorded private conversations in the White House, The New York Daily News reported Friday.

Manigault-Newman, who abruptly left the White House last year, purportedly “loves” to record meetings and has been lawyering up. She’s held several exploratory meetings with high profile attorneys in recent weeks, including Harvey Weinstein’s former attorney Lisa Bloom and former Bill Cosby lawyer Monique Pressley, the paper reported.

“Everyone knows Omarosa loves to record people and meetings using the voice notes app on her iPhone,” a source told the Daily News. “Don’t be surprised if she has secret audio files on everyone in that White House, past and present staffers included.”

Though White house Chief of Staff John Kelly personally told the former “Apprentice” star that her stint in the White House had come to a close last month, her official last day is Saturday.

Rumors immediately surfaced at the time that Manigault-Newman was dragged out of the White House by Secret Service in a dramatic reality-tv kind of way though the Secret Service has denied those claims.

“Our only involvement in this matter was to deactivate the individual’s pass which grants access to the complex,” the U.S. Secret Service said in a statement.

Fox News sources said Manigault-Newman was given the news of her termination in the White House Situation Room, a subterranean space under the West Wing where electronic and recording devices must be surrendered at the door.

“Where are the pictures or videos?” Manigault-Newman questioned at the time. “If I had confronted John Kelly, who is a very formidable person, it would garner someone to take a photo or a video.”

However, the nature of the Situation Room’s restrictions mean that neither Manigault-Newman nor anyone else would have been able to record her conversation with Kelly even if they had wanted to.

However, a recent ban on personal cell phones in the White House, which came after Michael Wolf’s tell-all book about the rich asshole, was related to Manigault-Newman’s habit of recording conversations, the paper reported.

The Daily News also says the 43-year-old believes she may become a “fixture” in FBI special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into allegations of collusion between the the rich asshole campaign and Russia. Several the rich asshole staffers have already been questioned or subpoenaed on the matter.

During her stint at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Manigault-Newman worked as an assistant to the president and director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison, working on outreach to various constituency groups. In that role, she enjoyed a close relationship with the rich asshole and even held her April wedding at the rich asshole’s D.C. hotel.

She purportedly drew the ire of Kelly and other senior staffers when she brought a 39-person bridal party to the White House for a photo shoot.

“Certainly I had more access than most, and people had problems with that,” she said on “Good Morning America.” “People have problems with my 14-year relationship with him.”

Former reality TV star Omarosa Manigault Newman, who was fired late last year from her job as a rich asshole aide, reportedly recorded conversations about sensitive issues during her tenure in the White House.

Sources tell the New York Daily News that Omarosa “may have taped confidential West Wing conversations and fears being caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.”

According to the publication’s sources, Omarosa has been lawyering up because she expects to soon become a witness in Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“Everyone knows Omarosa loves to record people and meetings using the voice notes app on her iPhone,” one source explained. “Don’t be surprised if she has secret audio files on everyone in that White House, past and present staffers included.”

The source also claimed that the White House’s recent decision to ban staffers from using their personal smartphones in the White House was because of Omarosa’s habit of recording conversations at all times.

Omarosa has been regularly dropping hints that she could drop bombshells on the rich asshole administration in the wake of her firing, as she said she had problems with the way the White House handled race-related controversies such as white supremacist riots in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Stormy Daniels' Explosive Full Interview on some rich asshole Affair:"I Can Describe His Junk Perfectly" (EXCLUSIVE)

Updated: Jan 19, 2018 5:07 pm

By In Touch Weekly

Porn star Stormy Daniels confirmed she had an affair with some rich asshole in an exclusive 2011 interview with In Touch, five years before she was reportedly paid $130,000 by the president to stay silent about the fling. Here is the full transcript of the interview conducted by former Bauer Publishing reporter Jordi Lippe-McGraw. Subsequent to the interview, Ms. Daniels took and passed a polygraph test. The account of her affair was corroborated by one of her good friends and supported by her ex-husband, both of whom also passed polygraph tests. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity and style.

IT: When was the first time you met some rich asshole?

Stormy: It was a charity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. I guess he was there to play golf, and I was there because the company I worked for was doing an appearance in the gift room. The first time I met him was actually out on the course. They brought us out to ride around and he kept looking at me and we were introduced. He was introduced to everybody. He kept looking at me and then we ended up riding to another hole on the same golf cart together and he’s like, “I want to come talk to you later.” Later, when he was coming to the gift room, he came to talk to me and asked for my number and I gave it to him. Then he asked me if I wanted to have dinner that night and I was like, “Yeah, of course!” Who would pass up an opportunity to talk to someone so interesting? I wasn’t trying to date him or anything like that.

IT: It was more of a business move on your end?

Stormy: Of course. Whether you’re a fan of his or not, which I never really was, you gotta admit he’s pretty fascinating. That’s one of the best things about my job. I’ve had the opportunity to really talk to and meet some really fascinating, weird people. So I said yeah, of course. He invited me. He told me to come up to meet him in his room. He told me his room number and whatnot. I can’t remember the room number, but I do know that it was the penthouse or at the top of the Harrah’s.

IT: What happened next?

Stormy: So I went up to the room and I was met outside by his bodyguard, Keith, who I met every time I saw him. Keith was always with him. That’s how I got in touch with him. I never had Donald’s cellphone number. I always used Keith’s. I went up to the room and he said, “Oh yeah, he’s waiting for you inside.” I went in and I was all dressed up because I had just assumed that we were going to go to dinner, but he meant to have dinner in his room. Like he wasn’t dressed to go out at all, just lounging. I remember taking a jab at him. I remember saying, because he was all sprawled out on the couch, watching television or something. He was wearing pajama pants. And I was like, “Ha, does Mr. Hefner know that you stole his outfit?” I was actually really mean to him. He got all huffy and tried to play it off and was like, “Oh, I just thought we would relax here.” We ended up having dinner in the room. I cannot remember what we ordered. I remember what I had the second time I had dinner with him but I can’t remember what we had. I know that neither one of us had any alcohol, though. I don’t drink when I’m working. I barely drink anyway, like ever. Anytime I’ve been photographed with a glass of champagne in my hand, it’s really Red Bull. He didn’t have any alcohol, either. I’ve never seen him drink. Maybe he doesn’t. I’m not sure. Which is funny because he has a vodka [brand]. I actually remember saying, “Aren’t you going to drink your vodka?” at a different party. So yeah, I don’t think he drinks. We hung out for a while. We talked. He asked me a lot of questions about my business. You know, the business I work in and how it works and how it functions. All like technical questions. He was very curious. Not necessarily about the sex or anything like that, but business questions. He kept showing me he was on the cover of a magazine that had just come out and it was some sort of money magazine, I wish I could remember which one it was. But he had it in the room and he kept showing it to me and I was like, “Dude, I know who you are.” He was trying to sell me, I guess. The first time I met him, the first couple of hours, he was very full of himself, like he was trying to impress me or something. But I do remember he just kept talking about this magazine that he was on the cover of, like, “Look at this magazine, don’t I look great on the cover?”

IT: So this is all conversation while you’re eating?

Stormy: Yeah, like before, during, and after. We hung out for quite a while. A few hours at least. I remember it was definitely daylight when I went there. It was like early evening. I remember walking from my hotel to his hotel.

(Photo Credit: MySpace)

IT: And this is the same day, the first time you met?

Stormy: Yeah. It was definitely dark when I left.

IT: And it was only the two of you in the room? The bodyguard stayed outside?

Stormy: Yeah, no one else ever came in. He stood outside. We were talking about all sorts of things. I remember he asked me like, “I gotta ask you a question and I don’t want to get you offended” and I was like, “Trust me, you can’t.” I was expecting some sort of vulgar question and it wasn’t; it was something about how much money I make off the royalties of something. And then I remember saying to him, “Ok well I have a question for you and it IS offensive.” And I asked him about his hair. I was like, “Dude, what’s up with that?” and he laughed and he said, “You know, everybody wants to give me a makeover and I’ve been offered all this money and all these free treatments.” And I was like, “What is the deal? Don’t you want to upgrade that? Come on, man.” He said that he thought that if he cut his hair or changed it, that he would lose his power and his wealth. And I laughed hysterically at him.

IT: What did he say?

Stormy: He took it pretty well. He was like, “Yeah, yeah, my wife even did my son’s hair like that, as a joke.” I was like, “Yes, speaking of your wife…”

IT: Did he mention her at all?

Stormy: I mentioned her. I was like, “Yeah, what about your wife?” He goes, “Oh, don’t worry about her.” Quickly, quickly changed the subject.

IT: That’s all he said about her?

Stormy: Yup. And then he goes — I might be out of order with the conversation because it was so long ago. But he was like, “You know what? You’re really smart. You’re not dumb.” And I was like, “Thanks, d---. What does that mean?” And he goes, “You should be on.” And I was like, “Really? No, I don’t think so.” And he just kept thinking about it, I could see his little wheels turning. He goes, “No, it would be really, really good for you. People would think you’re just this idiot with blond hair and big boobs. You would be perfect for it because you’re such a smart businesswoman. You write and you direct and you produce and obviously you’re hot and you’re beautiful.” And I was like, “Well, it’s never going to happen. NBC is never going to let a porn star on.” And he was like, “I can make it happen.” And I was like, “You can’t. I dare you.” I was totally egging him on. And that was kind of like the thing, he was like, “No, we have to work on this for you.” And that was sort of what he tried to bait me with for an entire year. He was like, “We have to get together to talk about your appearance on.” But he was serious. I think when it hit him in the moment, he was like, “Yeah, this is going to be really good.” And it could have. Of course, it would have been sensational. He just kept pushing for it, pushing for it. And he was like, “Would you do it?” I was like, “You know what, I’m not going to waste my energy on thinking about it, but if you actually have the power to make it happen, then I’ll do it.”

IT: So this was all during this dinner?

Stormy: Yeah. During, after. Yeah, it was definitely the biggest, longest topic of conversation — how he could get me on.

IT: And it was his idea?

Stormy: Oh yeah. 100%. It didn’t even occur to me before. Honestly, I have never watched the show, and I still haven’t watched the show. I travel too much to watch a lot of TV. I had to use the bathroom and I went to the restroom, which was in the bedroom. Like I said, it was a big suite. I could describe the suite perfectly. When I came out, he was sitting on the bed and he was like, “Come here.” And I was like, “Ugh, here we go.” And we started kissing. I actually don’t even know why I did it but I do remember while we were having sex, I was like, “Please don’t try to pay me.” And then I remember thinking, “But I bet if he did, it would be a lot.”

IT: This is what you were thinking during sex?

Stormy: Yeah, isn’t that horrible? But I remember thinking, “I hope he doesn’t think I’m a hooker.” Not that I have anything against hookers. I just personally have never done it. Still, I have no idea why I did it. Honestly, I really don’t.

IT: Were you attracted to him?

Stormy: Would you be? I was more like fascinated. I was definitely stimulated. We had a really good banter. Good conversation for a couple hours. I could tell he was nice, intelligent in conversation.

IT: Did you think the conversation would have led to what happened?

Stormy: Yeah.

IT: Going to the bathroom, did you think you were going to come out and encounter that?

Stormy: That he was going to be in bed? No, I just had to pee. So anyway, the sex was nothing crazy. He wasn’t like, chain me to the bed or anything. It was one position. I can definitely describe his junk perfectly, if I ever have to. He definitely seemed smitten after that. He was like, “I wanna see you again, when can I see you again?”

IT: Did he initiate or did you?

Stormy: Here’s the weird thing. He had one of my DVDs and he asked me to sign it for him and I did.

IT: He had it on him?

Stormy: Yeah. I don’t know if he sent someone out to get it. I take that back, he probably got it in the gift room. It was probably in one of his gift bags that he picked up because we were giving them out. I remember, it was, and I remember I signed it to him.

IT: Was that before or after?

Stormy: After. We were still in the bedroom. We hung out for a little while and he just kept saying, “I’m gonna call you, I’m gonna call you. I have to see you again. You’re amazing. We have to get you on.” I ended up leaving and the next night I saw him again at a party. It was in the downstairs of the hotel I was in and he was hanging out with Ben Roethlisberger. When I got there, he was already with him. He had Keith, his bodyguard, call me and ask me if I was coming. When I got there, I called Keith and he told me where he was sitting and he brought me over. And he was hanging out with Ben for a long time. A couple other people around, nobody famous. Mostly people trying to hang on to them. Ben had just won the Super Bowl that year. Donald excused himself. He had to leave, I don’t remember why, and he made Ben promise to take care of me. I stayed another 15-20 minutes and Ben Roethlisberger actually walked me up to my room that night because Donald told him to. Yeah, he walked me all the way to my hotel room.

IT: After you two slept together, did he say anything like “don’t tell anyone,” or anything along those lines?

Stormy: No. He didn’t seem worried about it. He was kind of arrogant. It did occur to me, “That’s a really stupid move on your part.” And it’s not like I went around and told anybody. No one ever really knew.

IT: Did you use protection?

Stormy: No.

IT: Was that a conversation or was it kind of in the moment?

Stormy: It was kind of in the moment. And I was really kind of upset about it because I am so, like, careful. The company I work for is condom-only. But I remember for a fact that we didn’t because I’m allergic to latex. And I didn’t go up there with condoms on me. I know that for a fact because 99% of men don’t carry non-latex condoms on them, so I usually always have one in my backpack but I thought I was going to dinner, so I only had a tiny little cocktail purse.

IT: Was the sex romantic?

Stormy: It was textbook generic. It wasn’t like, “Oh my God, I love you.” He wasn’t like Fabio or anything. He wasn’t trying to have, like, porn sex.

IT: Did he say anything to you during?

Stormy: Nothing freaky. Like, “Oh yeah, that feels good. That’s amazing.” You know. It was one position, what you would expect someone his age to do. It wasn’t bad. Don’t get me wrong.

IT: The next night, Ben walked you to your room.

Stormy: Walked to my room. And then I left the next day. Didn’t expect anything. Then sure enough, he called me. He always called me from a blocked number. He gave me — of course I had Keith, his bodyguard’s number — he gave me his secretary’s number, Rhona, which is his direct office line. Anytime I needed to get ahold of him, he always took my call or called me back within 10 minutes if he was on another call or wasn’t there. I think she would call him and he would call me back from his cell if he wasn’t in his office. The number was always blocked. He called me about every 10 days. He always called me “honeybunch.” He’s like, “How’s it going, honeybunch?” He always started the conversation off, I think it was always his excuse to call, “I just read about you in such and such or there’s a quote about you in magazine, I turned on my channel in my hotel room and guess whose face popped up?” Just like anytime he saw or read about me somewhere. I was super busy at the time. I’ve taken a year off because I had a baby, but I was everywhere at the time. That’s when I did and was doing red carpets so there was pictures of me like all the time. That was always sort of his excuse to call: “Hey, did you know that you were on such and such? We need to get together to talk about your thing.”

IT: Did he promise you that?

Stormy: Yeah, absolutely. He told me that he got a wild-card choice. That he could push one person through at will.

IT: And he said it was going to be you?

Stormy: Absolutely. 100% he promised me. And then I was talking about how I was going to be moving to Tampa at the time and he told me he was going to give me a condo there because they were building a the rich asshole Tower there, which I don’t think they ever finished, unless they finished it in the last two years since I’ve moved back from Tampa. I was like, “You are not going to give me a condo.” Anytime I called, he would call — it was funny if like my assistant or my boyfriend, who is now my ex-husband, he was my boyfriend at the time, was with me, I would always have him on speakerphone. I mean, it’s some rich asshole.

IT: Were you with your boyfriend when you slept with some rich asshole?

Stormy: Yeah.

IT: Did he know about the situation?

Stormy: He didn’t know that detail but he knew everything else. He called me all the time. Sometimes he would be in LA and he would call me and be like, “Hey, can you come meet me?” and I wasn’t in LA. I traveled a lot. He was like, “If you’re ever in New York.” I ended up being in New York, I was dancing at Gallagher’s 2000. He insisted that I come and see him at his office. So me and my assistant went. We went straight up to the office. He saw us right in. I’ve been in his personal office like at the top of his tower in Manhattan.

IT: When was this?

Stormy: It was winter. I would say probably like December, January-ish. I could probably look it up. There’s gotta be some sort of old press release about me dancing at Gallagher’s that winter. I also went to his the rich asshole Vodka release party. There’s pictures of me on the red carpet there at Les Deux in Hollywood.

IT: Did he personally invite you?

Stormy: Yes. I think that was in January. I went in, and I could only stay like 15-20 minutes because I had to catch a flight. But I did the red carpet and I went in and he gave me a hug and a kiss in front of everybody. Keith, once again, took me straight up to the VIP area. He asked me if I could stay but I couldn’t, I really couldn’t, I had to go somewhere. He also invited me to the Miss USA pageant. He left tickets for me and for my assistant at will-call. And we went. I didn’t get to really talk to him that much because there were people waiting to talk to him and I didn’t want to be that girl. So I waved and said thank you for the tickets.

IT: During these periods of time when you were invited to these events, in between was he calling you?

Stormy: Oh yeah, at least three times a month.

IT: Was there any mention of hooking up again?

Stormy: Yeah. “When can I see you, I need to see you again.” He never was like, “Let’s f---.” But come on.

IT: It was insinuated?

Stormy: Oh yeah. I mean, come on. If a guy calls you up and says, “When do I get to see you again, I had such a nice time last time, it was so amazing, when can we get together again?” what do you think that means?

IT: At these events, was his wife there?

Stormy: I’ve never seen her. I’ve never seen her in person, ever. Then the next time I saw him was the end of July and he called me and asked if I could come meet him at the Beverly Hills Hotel. And I went. My boyfriend drove me. Keith came out and met me at my truck and walked me in. He had a private bungalow out back, which is cool because I’d never been there and I haven’t been there since. They have these, like, individual cottages there. Cool. They’re pretty nice. I went there. We had dinner once again in his room. I had swordfish that time. Once again, no alcohol. The strangest thing about that night — this was the best thing ever. You could see the television from the little dining room table and he was watching Shark Week and he was watching a special about the U.S.S. something and it sank and it was like the worst shark attack in history. He is obsessed with sharks. Terrified of sharks. He was like, “I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die.” He was like riveted. He was like obsessed. It’s so strange, I know.

IT: So it’s just you and him in the bungalow?

Stormy: Yeah. But isn’t that weird? So strange. So we finished dinner and we moved to the sofa so he could get a better view of Shark Week. That’s when he broke the news to me that it almost went through but there’s somebody that had a problem and it got vetoed and blah blah blah. I was like, “I told you, you couldn’t make it happen.” I was pretty annoyed. He kept rubbing my leg and was like, “You know, you’re so beautiful. I love your little nose, it’s like a little beet.” I go, “Did you say a beet? Like, what the f---?” I started giving him a hard time about it. And he goes, “No, no, no, no! It’s majestic. It’s a very smart nose, like an eagle.” I was like, “Just keep digging, dude. Keep digging that hole.” Like I said, we had this banter. I was kind of mean to him. He just kept brushing my hair off my shoulder and kissing on my neck. And he was like, “So, can you stay?” and I was like, “No, I gotta go.” I left. Keith walked me back to my car. I was in there probably two and a half hours. I left and he kept calling me less and less over the coming months. I do remember, it was whatever season Tito Ortiz was on and I guess Jenna was on one of the episodes just with Tito and he called me and I didn’t watch the show, I had no idea that Tito was on it, much less Jenna. I think he was afraid I was going to be pissed. So he called me and was like, “Did you see Jenna Jameson on my show? I didn’t know she was going to go on. That’s bullshit. She made a fool of herself.” He said, “She’s a bimbo. You’re so much better.” I was like, “I didn’t even know about it.” I just thought that was really funny. Don’t care. Totally over it.

IT: Prior to the Beverly Hills meeting, when you would see him at different events, would he try to hook up with you or did he kiss you?

Stormy: No. He kissed me, like, hello at the the rich asshole Vodka release party at Les Deux. He would ask, “Do you have to leave? Can you hang out?”

IT: He would ask you to stay but you had to go?

Stormy: Yeah. And then like I said, he called me a few times after that and it was always like, “If you ever need anything, let me know.” He told me if I ever needed to get anything, a round of golf at any of his places, to call him. I think he would have absolutely done that for me. I didn’t know anyone who played golf at the time and I don’t play golf, so I never called in that favor.

IT: Did he send you any other presents?

Stormy: Nope. And I never asked. Like I said, he always called from a blocked number and for the last year and a half I honestly don’t know if he’s called me or not because when I got pregnant with my daughter, I completely stopped taking calls that I didn’t know. My fans don’t know I had a baby. I left LA and lived in Vegas and basically hid out. I just really stopped taking calls from blocked numbers, numbers that I didn’t know. I even stopped answering people that I did know, like other celebrities that I’m friends with that would just want to hang out or go out in Hollywood.

IT: When was that?

Stormy: About a year and a half ago.

IT: Was that your last interaction with him?

Stormy: Yeah.

IT: What was the final conversation? The Jenna Jameson thing?

Stormy: No, I talked to him after that. It was just, “Heeeeey, how’s it going?” It was always a shock to answer a number you expected to be a survey or a bill collector and it’s some rich asshole. It’s always a blocked number. “Unknown ID” is how it always came up. “How’s it going, honeybunch?” and I was like, “Oh my God, some rich asshole is calling me.” “I just wanted to see what you were doing.” I don’t know if he’d be scrolling through his phone.

IT: The last time you saw him was at the Beverly Hills Hotel?

Stormy: Yeah.

IT: When was your last conversation with him?

Stormy: I don’t have the date. It was about a year and a half ago. It was around the time I was just finishing up the whole Senate thing. Because he called and was like, “Hey, I just saw you on CNN or Fox or something, you looked great. I love how you give it to ’em.”

IT: How do you feel about all this — the broken promises? What’s your take?

Stormy: I don’t really know. I don’t have any animosity or whatever.

IT: Do you feel like a fool for believing him about?

Stormy: No. I wasn’t like going around telling everybody, “Oh my God, I’m going to be on.” It’s not like I bought into it 100%. I was challenging him to make it happen. I figured my shot was 50-50 even though he swore up and down it was 100. It’s not just him. I never really get my hopes up on big stuff like that.

IT: Did you tell anyone at the time what had happened?

Stormy: A couple people. My assistant. My boyfriend. My friend Randy. The owner of the company I work for. They were excited about the prospect of.

IT: Would you have a message for him or his wife at all?

Stormy: I don’t know. Karma will always bite you in the ass.

IT: You know he’s married, so how did you feel about engaging with someone who is cheating on their wife?

Stormy: At the time, I didn’t think that much about it. But now that I have a baby that’s the same age that his was at the time, I’m like, “Wow, what a d---.”

IT: Do you feel bad? If she ever confronted you, what would you say?

Stormy: Yeah I feel bad. It didn’t occur to me at the time.

IT: Why come forward with the story now?

Stormy: It’s not something I did come forward with. My friend called me and was like, “Hey, so I was having a conversation with somebody and they mentioned…and is it true?” and I was like, “Yeah, well over a year, I talked to him all the time.” And she was like, “You know, he thinks really lowly of girls who…” She said he said some stuff about somebody else, I have no idea who…it was very derogatory, and that makes me more mad than anything.

IT: What do you mean?

Stormy: That, you know, it’s ok to be friends with someone who works in the adult entertainment business in private but publicly, you’re going to bash the industry or people who work in it. It was a story that was off the record so I don’t even know if you know what I’m talking about. I guess some other chick said something and she’s not a porn star, she’s no one famous. I don’t know who she is. And he like didn’t just go, “No, that didn’t happen.” He went on some tirade how he would never be associated with someone…blah blah blah. But clearly I do a lot more than just pose for. So that just makes me wonder if he was just flat-out lying the whole time. I didn’t have any unrealistic expectations of actually being on the show; I figured my chances were 50-50, I did believe that he was shy. So now I wonder if the whole thing was just a f---ing lie.

IT: Just to impress you, to try to sleep with you?

Stormy: Yeah. And I guess it worked.

IT: Is there anything else that you wanted to add?

Stormy: I don’t think so. Like I said, if I was his wife and I found out that my husband stuck his d--- in a hundred girls, I would be less mad about that than the fact that he went to dinner and had like this ongoing relationship.

IT: That it was an ongoing thing, not just a one-night thing?

Stormy: Right.

IT: And he never mentioned her at all?

Stormy: No.

IT: And he didn’t make it seem like she was OK with it, he just said don’t worry about it?

Stormy: Yup. He bragged about his daughter quite a bit though. He was very proud of her, which is nice. He told me once that I was someone to be reckoned with, beautiful and smart just like his daughter. She is smart and beautiful, so I guess that’s a compliment. But as far as family, that’s all he ever said. He definitely is very proud of her, as he should be.

IT: Did he mention sleeping with anyone else?

Stormy: No.

IT: What are you up to in terms of your career?

Stormy: I’m doing great. I just had a baby. The whole time I was pregnant I continued writing and directing. I directed all last year. Still directing for Wicked. I have an indefinite contract with them. It’s going really well. We just started a new line called Wicked Passions. I’m sort of the director for that. I go back to shooting next month. Same thing. Everything’s doing really well. No one even knows I was gone. I timed it perfectly. I did two years of movies in one year so the company I work for could keep releasing my movies on a regular basis so there wasn’t like a gap.

IT: If you were approached with the opportunity now, would you take it?

Stormy: I would have to think about just because now that I have a daughter, I don’t know if I’d want to be in New York, you know what I mean? But in the end, yes, probably, I’d figure out a way to make it work.

IT: If he pursued you again, or you ran into him, would you sleep with him again?

Stormy: No.

IT: Why?

Stormy: Because I’m with someone now that I feel differently about.

Inside the Explosive Interview With Stormy Daniels

House rejects Democratic effort to impeach the rich asshole as shutdown looms

BY CRISTINA MARCOS - 01/19/18 11:17 AM EST

The House on Friday once again rejected an effort by Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) to impeach President the rich asshole, in a sign of inflamed partisan tensions ahead of a midnight deadline to avoid a government shutdown.

Green, who has agitated for the rich asshole’s impeachment for months, forced a procedural vote on articles of impeachment following the rich asshole’s Oval Office comments last week describing some nations as “shithole countries” while expressing a preference for immigrants from places like Norway.

It failed by a 355-66 vote, with three Democrats voting "present."

the rich asshole made the comments during a meeting with members of Congress about a potential deal to shield young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally from deportation while enhancing border security. Those talks have been in limbo since that meeting, which in turn has led to an impasse over keeping the government open.

Green previously forced a vote on articles of impeachment last month, which failed due to most Democrats joining with Republicans to table it. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) both oppose calling for impeachment at this point, citing the ongoing investigations of whether the rich asshole campaign coordinated with the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election.

Eight more Democrats voted in favor of impeaching the rich asshole than a month ago, demonstrating the growing support on the left for pushing the rich asshole out of office.

A total of 58 Democrats voted in favor of impeachment in December, primarily the most liberal lawmakers and fellow members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).

Green’s latest articles of impeachment are similar to those he offered last month but updated with the rich asshole’s “shithole” comment from last week.

the rich asshole, Green alleges in the articles of impeachment, has “brought the high office of president of the United States in contempt, ridicule, disgrace and disrepute” and “has sown discord among the people of the United States.”

Aside from the latest controversy from the rich asshole’s immigration meeting, the articles of impeachment cite the rich asshole’s travel ban, push to prevent transgender people from serving in the military, attempts to cast equal blame on white supremacists and counter-protesters for violence in Charlottesville, Va., and attacks on NFL players kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality.

Most Democrats aren’t ready to support impeachment out of concerns that it would be premature.

Instead, Democratic leaders are endorsing an effort from members of the CBC and House Judiciary Committee to censure the rich asshole for describing Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “shithole countries.”

The censure resolution, unveiled Thursday, calls on the rich asshole to apologize for remarks it describes as “hateful, discriminatory and racist, and cannot and should not be the basis of any American policy.”

CBC Chairman Cedric Richmond (D-La.) said that Democrats may try to force a vote on the censure resolution if GOP leaders don’t bring it up for consideration on the floor.

Some Republicans have joined with Democrats in criticizing the rich asshole for the comments. Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) used milder language than Democrats, saying that the rich asshole’s remarks were “very unfortunate” and “unhelpful.”

Despite breaking with the rich asshole over the comments, GOP leaders are highly unlikely to support efforts to censure him.

Democrats also introduced a resolution to censure the rich asshole over his handling of the Charlottesville violence, but Republicans similarly dismissed it.

‘Terrible witness’ the rich asshole eager to talk to Mueller — but his history shows he could doom his presidency: prosecutor

DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!

President some rich asshole is eager to speak to special counsel Robert Mueller, but his allies and legal team are concerned that the rich asshole will be “a terrible witness” who will say things that could land him in even deeper trouble, said Vanity Fair‘s Chris Smith.

the rich asshole has declared that he is “100 percent” willing to speak to the special counsel’s office and his attorney John Dowd is sounding a similarly cooperative tone, but people familiar with the rich asshole’s previous performances in depositions are sounding the alarm.

“The superficial view would be that every day this guy makes stuff up as he goes along, so the rich asshole is going to be a terrible witness, and he’ll say things that will get him in trouble,” said former federal prosecutor Sam Buell, who worked on the government’s case against Enron.

“But the rich asshole has experience as a litigant,” Buell cautioned, “and maybe he understands the game. So, in his prior depositions, you’re looking for the style in which he answers — the extent to which he’s prepped.”

As the rich asshole biographer Tim O’Brien has noted, the rich asshole appears to lie freely and blithely under oath, spitting out a gobsmacking 30 falsehoods in two days of testimony in 2007.

the rich asshole can be superficially cooperative and loquacious while delivering these falsehoods, said Smith, as he was in his depositions in a lawsuit filed against O’Brien. Or the former reality TV host can be combative and surly as he was in a 2011 when he upbraided attorney — and new mom — Elizabeth Beck for taking a break to pump breast milk.

“He starts screaming, ‘You’re disgusting!’” Beck told Vanity Fair. “Maybe Mueller should wave a breast pump in front of the rich asshole.”

the rich asshole’s main interlocutor in any run-in with the special counsel’s office is likely to be attorney Andrew Weissman, who Buell told Smith is a top-notch investigator.

“Andrew is super-thorough, persistent, and factual,” Buell said. “He’ll know the record cold, and he’ll be a good listener, to see if he really gets an answer to the question he’s asked. He’s not going to get excited. It will be interesting if he drills down on the different statements and tweets with regard to the [James] Comey firing, or Russia: ‘So, when you wrote this on Twitter, was that a statement of fact? Did you believe it to be true?’”

At the White House, attorney Ty Cobb is attempting to coordinate the simultaneous defense of the president, his advisers like communications director Hope Hicks and others close to the rich asshole during the campaign, transition and early months of the administration.

Cobb’s drilling of the president — and the rich asshole’s willingness to focus, take direction and stay on message — could make all the difference in the rich asshole’s success or failure as a witness in his own defense.

Vanity Fair noted that all the planning might be for naught should the administration choose to plead the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incriminating testimony and not to put the president in front of Mueller’s team.

“By talking to the government, you’re running an enormous risk of a false statement or perjury,” said former attorney to President Bill Clinton Bob Bennett. “You can only let your client testify if you know he’ll tell the truth.”

Republican Senator blames possible shutdown on the rich asshole listening to Tom Cotton, Stephen Miller

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) dispelled his party's talking points.

JOSH ISRAEL JAN 19, 2018, 1:21 PM

The White House and many Congressional Republicans attempted Friday to pin the potential government shutdown on Senate Democrats, trying to name it the “Schumer Shutdown” after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). But their strategy was undermined by a prominent member of the president’s own party.

Lindsey Graham, the senior senator from South Carolina, told MSNBC that he is still a “no” on the legislation passed by the House on Thursday that would keep the government open for 30 days but do nothing to protect beneficiaries of President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). DACA provided protection to more than 750,000 people who were brought as undocumented immigrants to the United States as children, but President some rich asshole’s administration has moved to end the protections starting in March.

“I’m not going to continue this game with DACA recipients’ lives,” Graham explained. “A lot of people on my side say ‘What’s the urgency?’ Well, put yourself in their shoes. You’re a teacher somewhere, you don’t know if March the 5th you’ll be kicked out of the country you call home. This idea that we’ve got plenty of time — I don’t like that. If you’re one these recipients you feel like we should have done this yesterday. And 80 percent of the American people are actually with us.”

the rich asshole earlier this week rejected a bipartisan deal that would have protected DACA beneficiaries and cleared the way for a funding bill, after initially expressing a willingness to sign such a deal. Graham laid the blame for the impasse on the rich asshole’s flip-flop and his listening to bad advice from two people: White House aide Stephen Miller and freshman Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).

“I think the change comes about from people like Mr. Miller,” Graham said. “Mr. Miller is well-known in the Senate for having views that are outside the mainstream.” Graham observed that the “Steven Miller approach to immigration has no viability.”

He expressed openness to solutions, but said the rich asshole White House is taking a “a hard-edged approach” that would not fly even in the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate. “The Tom Cotton approach has no viability here. He’s become sort of the Steve King of the Senate. I like Tom but on immigration, he’s putting something on the table that there’s just no market for in phase one.” (Rep. Steve King (R-IA) is an immigration hardliner with a long history of racist comments.)

Watch:

Graham is not the only Congressional Republican who feels this way. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) tweeted on Friday morning that she opposes her party’s continuing resolution bill “because #Dreamers cannot wait for the promise of ‘tomorrow.'”

CNN focus group of women voters erupts into chaos when the rich asshole fan excuses president’s sexual assault

A CNN panel of women voters (Screen cap).

DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!

A CNN panel of the rich asshole voters got heated when the network invited anti-the rich asshole “Resistance” activists to join the debate.

During a segment that aired on Friday, a panel of all-women voters once again delved into President some rich asshole’s infamous boast about sexually assaulting women on the leaked “Access: Hollywood” tapes.

When a fellow panelist brought up the fact that the rich asshole bragged to Billy Bush about grabbing women by their vaginas, the rich asshole voter Daphne Goggins excused the president’s behavior by simply shouting out, “He’s a man — I’ve heard way worse than that!”

Fellow the rich asshole voter Alice Butler Short similarly spoke up to defend the president and insisted that his statement about grabbing women by their genitals was being taken out of context.

“He talked about what was possible in the world of celebrity,” she said. “President the rich asshole — he never would have had to do that kind of thing. He’s not that kind of man!”

Tangela Wagner-Edmond, a rich asshole voter who now says she regrets her vote, expressed exasperation at the way people make excuses for the president’s behavior, no matter how obnoxious.

“Why is it that everyone that loves some rich asshole wants to make excuses for him?” she said. “He’s the president and he’s supposed to be a role model.”

I can't believe we made it a year without the fucking world blowing up because this asshole is in office.

The rich asshole Presidency: Year One

BY THE HILL STAFF - 01/19/18 06:04 AM EST

One year ago Saturday, some rich asshole was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, kicking off an unpredictable year.

From day one, the rich asshole dominated headlines, publicly feuding with rivals and pushing policies that upended the Washington consensus.

It was a year of highs and lows for the president. the rich asshole and Republicans suffered a tough defeat when they failed to pass ObamaCare repeal. But they rebounded by passing a massive tax overhaul by year's end.

Hanging over the policy fights, though, were the constant controversies at the White House, from press secretary Sean Spicer's claim that the inauguration was the most watched ever to the firestorm over the rich asshole's alleged "shithole countries" remark.

Here's a look back at the rich asshole's unprecedented first year in office.

January 20 - March 30, 2017

Jan. 20: some rich asshole is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. In his inaugural address, the rich asshole talks of a nation in crisis and vows to end what he calls "American carnage." Groups of anti-the rich asshole protesters take to the streets, smashing windows in downtown D.C. Photos and videos from the day show fewer people in attendance than during former President Obama's 2008 inauguration.

Jan. 21: Hundreds of thousands of people across the country take part in the Women's March to protest the new president. Some estimates say close to half a million people joined the march in Washington. At an impromptu news conference in the evening, press secretary Sean Spicer blasts the media over its coverage of the inauguration crowd size. "This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe,” he insists.

(OPINION: One year after the Women’s March, expect a year of action in 2018)

Jan. 23: On his first full workday, the rich asshole meets business leaders and promises to cut at least 75 percent of government regulations. He signs an order freezing all new federal hiring. Then, making good on a campaign promise, the president formally withdraws from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. In the afternoon, the rich asshole hosts his first meeting with congressional leaders from both parties and repeats his claim that millions of illegal votes were cast against him to help Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton win the popular vote.

Jan. 24: the rich asshole signs an executive order speeding up approval for the controversial Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, halted under Obama. In a tweet about gun violence in Chicago, he warns that if the city does not stop the "carnage" he will "send in the Feds!"

Jan. 25: In the morning, the president tweets that he is launching a “major investigation into VOTER FRAUD” and announces plans to unveil his nominee to the Supreme Court on Feb. 2. At the Department of Homeland Security, he signs executive orders on immigration, cutting federal funds for “sanctuary cities” and ordering agencies to begin work on a border wall. In his first interview from the White House, the rich asshole vows construction on the border wall will begin in “months.”

Jan. 26: the rich asshole threatens to cancel a meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto after the foreign leader refuses to pay for the border wall. Shortly after, Peña Nieto says he is canceling the meeting.

Jan. 27: Late in the evening, the rich asshole signs an executive order banning travel to the U.S from seven majority-Muslim countries and suspending admission for refugees, resulting in chaos and confusion at airports across the country. A statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day fails to mention Jewish people or anti-Semitism, drawing criticism.

Jan. 28: Protesters gather at airports around the country to challenge the rich asshole’s travel ban. The ban also sows chaos as officials struggle to determine who is covered by the order. A federal judge in New York issues an emergency stay temporarily preventing the administration from detaining individuals. the rich asshole speaks with world leaders including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. The Turnbull call gets heated when the leaders clash on a refugee deal. “Putin was a pleasant call,” the rich asshole reportedly tells Turnbull. “This is ridiculous.”

Jan. 29: William “Ryan” Owens, a member of Navy SEAL Team 6, is killed in a firefight in Yemen, becoming the first service member to die during the rich asshole's presidency. Fourteen enemy militants and as many as 30 civilians, including children, die in the raid, raising questions about the decision.

Jan. 30: Acting attorney general Sally Yates refuses to defend the rich asshole’s travel order. Yates is quickly fired and Dana Boente, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is sworn in. In a statement, the White House says Yates “betrayed the Department of Justice."

Jan. 31: The president taps Neil Gorsuch to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) protest the rich asshole’s immigration orders from the steps of the Supreme Court. In response, the rich asshole dubs the Democratic leader “Fake Tears Chuck Schumer.”

Feb. 1: the rich asshole urges Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to break with years of precedent and kill the filibuster rule. “If you can, Mitch, go nuclear.” Iran tests a ballistic missile and national security adviser Michael Flynn says the administration is “officially putting Iran on notice.”

Feb. 2: At the National Prayer Breakfast, the rich asshole promises to “get rid of and totally destroy” the Johnson Amendment, which limits church political activity. Appearing on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” the rich asshole adviser Kellyanne Conway cites the fictitious “Bowling Green massacre” as justification for the travel ban. the rich asshole raises the prospect of denying federal funds for the University of California, Berkeley after school officials cancel an event by Milo Yiannopoulos due to violent protests.

Feb. 5: When an appellate court rejects the Department of Justice’s request to keep the travel ban in place, the rich asshole criticizes the judges. “Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad,” the president writes on Twitter.

Feb. 6: the rich asshole calls poor poll numbers “fake news.” In his first speech to military service members, he accuses the "very, very dishonest press" of not reporting on terrorist attacks.

Feb. 8: Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch reportedly tells Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) in a meeting that the rich asshole’s criticism of the federal judiciary is “disheartening” and “demoralizing.” A Gorsuch spokeswoman denies the remark was about the rich asshole. The president blasts Nordstrom on Twitter after the department store drops his daughter Ivanka the rich asshole’s clothing line.

Sorry, the rich asshole Supporters, Being Openly Racist Will Still Ruin Your Life (And It Always Will)

They still don't understand why political correctness is winning.

JUSTIN ROSARIO 01-19-2018

By now you've probably heard the sad story of poor Harley Barber, the dumb as rocks 19-year-old college student who inexplicably thought posting a video of herself bragging about how much she hates ni**ers would be a good idea. She got kicked out of the sorority she's been dying to be a part of since was in high school and she got kicked out of the University of Alabama at the same time.

She's very sorry about the whole thing, of course, and wishes she'd never done it but she is now "That super racist college chick". That's going to haunt her for however long people feel like dogging her with it. The internet is forever and potential employers googling her name are going to have some interesting questions to ask her. This could possibly ruin her life and that's just too fucking bad.

This is why a week after the 2016 election I wrote, "There's a mistaken belief that hate is the new normal and we on the left will just have to get used to it. Good luck with that."

Their luck has not been good.

Barber is just the latest to fall before the dreaded power of political correctness (otherwise known as "decent society") but she joins a rather lengthy list of people who also inexplicably thought airing their racism to the world would be a good idea:

Jane Wood Allen of Georgia was fired calling Michelle Obama a gorilla on Facebook.
Cammie Rone of Mississippi was fired after telling blacks to "move back to Africa" on Facebook.
Orrin Harris and Holly Jane Kusserow-Smidt of Iowa were fired after sneering about Latinos moving into the area on a high school radio broadcast.
A Georgia police officer was fired for telling a white driver "We only shoot black people"
6 Firefighters in Florida were fired for hanging a noose over the family photos of a black Lieutenant.

And that's just a tiny taste of the havoc people have wreaked on their own lives. The Charlottesville "Tiki Torch" march alone ruined well over a dozen lives (if not more) as proud white nationalists marched, with their faces uncovered and well-lit, chanting Nazi slogans.

Can you believe they were shocked when they were outed to their friends and family and started losing their jobs? It's almost like they thought they could be a neo-Nazi in America, a country that fetishizes killing Nazis, without consequence. One of their leaders, Christopher Cantwell, after bragging about how tough he was, even broke down crying when he found out the police were looking for him. That was pretty funny.

Roy Moore lost his Senate bid partly because he's a child molester but mainly because he was so overtly racist, black voters came out in force to keep him out. When the rich asshole's favorite racist, Joe Arpaio, wins the Republican primary in Arizona by being the most obnoxious white supremacist in the race, Latinos are going to come out in force to block him as well and that will probably cost Republicans control of the Senate. Moore is still in denial about why he lost and it's a sure bet Arpaio will be as well.

I keep saying it's inexplicable that people keep doing this but it really isn't. The election of some rich asshole and the hate he's been attempting to codify into our national DNA has convinced people they are free to be racist assholes and they will never pay a price for it. As I said 14 months ago: Good luck with that. America has a serious problem with racism but at the end of the day, the overwhelming majority of us want America to be better than the rich asshole and his deplorable followers. And this is why the dreaded "political correctness" is here to stay no matter how loudly the rich asshole supporters whine about being oppressed.

The upside to all of this is that by revealing who they've been all along, white Republican voters (because that's who we're talking about here), have made it impossible to go back into the white nationalist closet. Once you ally yourself with a Nazi, that stink doesn't come off no matter how loudly you scream "I'm an Independent!" When the rich asshole is gone, his base will have nothing left but bitter regrets and a swastika branded onto their foreheads. We'll make sure of it.

As for Barber, maybe she can get a degree at the rich asshole University.

There are 290 days left to the 2018 elections.

The night Fox News went completely off the rails

Conspiracy theories were featured on three straight shows -- with a dash of racism mixed in.

AARON RUPAR JAN 19, 2018, 9:06 AM

On Thursday evening, Fox News pushed conspiracy theories on three straight primetime shows, with a little racism mixed in.

Tucker Carlson Tonight featured an interview with Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) in which he promoted a conspiracy ripped straight from Infowars — that ISIS had something to do with the Las Vegas mass shooting in October.

“I smell a rat like a lot of Americans — nothing is adding up,” Perry said. “Well, they could be — well, let’s face it — ISIS twice before the attack, ISIS warned the United States that they would attack Las Vegas I think in June and August, and then after the attack claiming responsibility four times. Meanwhile, the local law enforcement investigative services are telling us there is no terrorist connection — lone gunman.”

ISIS is often known to take credit for attacks they had nothing to do with, and investigators have found no evidence of a link between shooter Stephen Paddock and ISIS.

Victims’ attorney Catherine Lombardo immediately pushed back on Perry’s comment, demanding that he provide evidence.

“We’ve seen no evidence of a terrorist attack, and I will ask, congressman, unless you have specific evidence to back that up, it seems a bit irresponsible to make that allegation,” Lombardo said. “So if you do have any evidence of that, I’m asking you right now to share it with us and tell us what that is.”

Rep. Perry never provided any evidence, and Carlson didn’t push back at all on his conspiracy theory.

“I’m not taking a position on this either way,” Carlson said at one point.

Another segment of Carlson’s show featured Carlson and right-wing pundit Mark Steyn making a case that Hispanics aren’t real Americans.

Immediately after Carlson’s show went off the air, Hannity featured a segment with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) pushing a conspiracy theory that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the the rich asshole campaign for possible collusion with Russia is the result of a conspiracy in which the “deep state” colluded with Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration in an attempt to bring down some rich asshole.

“You are describing the very elements of a palace coup,” Gaetz said. “And after Jim and Mark Meadows and many others of us reviewed the intelligence information today, it is abundantly clear that the entire Mueller investigation is a lie built on a foundation of corruption.”

Later, Jordan said “this should never happen in a country as great as the United States of America.” But he and Gaetz never bothered to provide a shed of evidence in support of their theory of the case.

Jordan has been pushing this conspiracy theory on Fox News for months. But when he recently did an interview on CNN, the obvious hole in his argument was exposed. If the FBI had been colluding with Clinton during the election, as he claims, then why did FBI Director James Comey go out of his way to publicize the Clinton email investigation just days before the election? Pollsters, including Nate Silver, have since concluded that the negative publicity Comey’s move generated for Clinton may have cost her the presidency.

During his interview on CNN, Jordan had no answers for that, and repeatedly responded with, “we’ll find out.”

Hannity concluded his segment on Thursday by congratulating Gaetz, Jordan, and a Fox News correspondent for their “great reporting.” But not a single piece of actual reporting appeared in the segment — the entire discussion was empty conspiracy-mongering.

After Hannity went off the air, the Clinton-Comey collusion allegations were also the featured story on Ingraham Angle. And on Friday’s Fox & Friends, hosts framed the story as “worse than Watergate.”

During another segment of Fox & Friends, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway did her part to push the conspiracy. Referring to a hashtag Hannity coined, and the discussion on numerous Fox News shows the evening before, Conway said, “All I’ll say is that those who have seen it [i.e., the DOJ memo] are outraged, and are saying, ‘hashtag is trending, release the memo.'”

‘Nobody really believes he’s president’: Historian Douglas Brinkley says the rich asshole’s first year deserves ‘an asterisk’

Historian Douglas Brinkley talks on CNN (Screen cap).

DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!

CNN invited Rice University history professor Douglas Brinkley on to assess the president’s first year — and his initial conclusion is that the rich asshole’s first year in office deserves “an asterisk.”

“It’s an asterisk president — nobody really believed he is president,” Brinkley said. “That’s because of the FBI, the Justice Department constantly investigating him. You’re waiting any day for a shoe to drop.”

Brinkley did acknowledge that the rich asshole had some successes — most notably, the strong economy and the decimation of ISIS in the Middle East — but he said those have all been overshadowed by the president’s constant eruptions of divisive and racist rhetoric.

“Number one, for me, that history’s going to look terribly on in the first year of the rich asshole is racism,” he said. “The bigotry of Charlottesville. The bigotry of comments he made about Haiti and Africa… this whole game of the national anthem and how he tried to game it and inflame the country.”

Brinkley also said that the first line in the rich asshole’s obituary might turn out to be, “The president who couldn’t stop using Twitter.”

the rich asshole Thinks His Hair Has Magic Powers That Make Him Rich, We Promise We’re Not F*cking With You

By John Prager on January 19, 2018 11:55 am ·

The secret to some rich asshole’s wealth has been discovered, and it is in a 2011 interview published by InTouch featuring his former mistress, porn star Stormy Daniels.

No, it’s not the fact that he inherited so much money from his father, a likely member of the Ku Klux Klan,

that as a white man in American society he was able to spend his life “failing up.” No, it’s not a strong sense for business or any kind of skill whatsoever. It’s his hair, which possesses magical powers to make him rich and powerful.

Borrowing from the Christian myth of Samson, the rich asshole reportedly told Daniels he never changes his ridiculous hairstyle because if he ever does that he will lose all of his money and influence. From the interview:

Stormy: Yeah, no one else ever came in. He stood outside. We were talking about all sorts of things. I remember he asked me like, “I gotta ask you a question and I don’t want to get you offended” and I was like, “Trust me, you can’t.” I was expecting some sort of vulgar question and it wasn’t; it was something about how much money I make off the royalties of something. And then I remember saying to him, “Ok well I have a question for you and it IS offensive.”

And I asked him about his hair. I was like, “Dude, what’s up with that?” and he laughed and he said, “You know, everybody wants to give me a makeover and I’ve been offered all this money and all these free treatments.” And I was like, “What is the deal? Don’t you want to upgrade that? Come on, man.” He said that he thought that if he cut his hair or changed it, that he would lose his power and his wealth. And I laughed hysterically at him.

IT: What did he say?

Stormy: He took it pretty well. He was like, “Yeah, yeah, my wife even did my son’s hair like that, as a joke.” I was like, “Yes, speaking of your wife…”

InTouch notes that the “account of her affair was corroborated by one of her good friends and supported by her ex-husband, both of whom also passed polygraph tests.”

There you have it, folks. If we truly want to defeat the rich asshole it’s not going to be as difficult as getting Republicans to do their jobs and remove him from office. We don’t have to bother teaching his supporters to be decent people. We don’t have to do anything but make sure his next mistress is named Delilah and that she owns or has access to some scissors or a knife or something.

Daniels also says the rich asshole confided in her that he is so “terrified” of sharks that he refuses to donate to any charity that helps them in any way. “I hope all the sharks die,” the rich asshole told her. We’re sure they feel the same way.

Currently, the rich asshole worries so much about losing his previous magical hair that he ts taking medication to prevent hair loss that has been linked with “debilitating sexual dysfunction” and depression — something that may explain his tweets to, well, everyone.
