Former Trump Staffer Addresses the Murder of WaPo Journalist by Attacking the Journalist

Last updated on: October 21, 2018 at 8:30 am By Susan Wright

This is disgusting, but it’s not unexpected from those who count themselves among the Trump faithful. The narrative from some circles now, as it concerns murdered Washington Post contributor, Jamal Khashoggi, is that maybe the ambush of an American resident and subsequent violent, unspeakable death isn’t such a big deal. To recap: Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi-born journalist and outspoken critic of the Saudi royal family, disappeared on October 2, after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, in order to...

President Trump Cheering the Assault of a Journalist Is Peak Trump (and Another Low for the U.S.)

Last updated on: October 19, 2018 at 4:33 pm By Susan Wright

Our president is a despicable pig of a man, Part 697. No. There’s nothing about physical assault that is funny. There is nothing about physical assault to celebrate or treat as the behavior of honorable, mature adults. I feel it necessary to begin there, as the jumping off point for this next tale of Donald Trump behaving badly. No. He didn’t beat anybody up. He’s too old and feeble, and a man with a mouth that big is obviously a... Read more

Our President Thinks Insults Are Highly Presidential

Last updated on: October 19, 2018 at 12:43 pm By Susan Wright

We really do have a pig for a president. And let me further say that Stormy Daniels, the porn star former mistress of Donald Trump is no heroine in this story. For one thing, she’s a porn star. I don’t know what went wrong in her life to lead her to devalue herself in that manner. I can only say, I’m sorry for it, as I have sympathy for any young woman (or man) who has been warped so desperately... Read more

Saudi Arabia Sets up a Scapegoat for Jamal Khashoggi’s Murder

Last updated on: October 18, 2018 at 8:25 pm By Susan Wright

The relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia is a tricky one. The politics of the entanglement as it currently stands are very much at play, when you factor in the $100 billion arms sale between the two nations, as well as Saudi Arabia being the second largest source of imported crude oil to the United States. For those interested, Canada is the number one importer of crude oil to the U.S., but somehow, Trump doesn’t mind crapping on... Read more

Congress Splits With President Trump Over Saudi Arabia and Missing Journalist

Last updated on: October 18, 2018 at 10:31 am By Susan Wright

So how is President Trump proceeding with all the new information surrounding the disappearance, and apparent murder of Washington Post journalist, Jamal Khashoggi? According to some lawmakers, his response has been less than encouraging. To be clear, most of Washington has held a “chilly” view of Saudi Arabia, ever since the September 11, 2001 attacks, in which 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens. Still, Team Trump has taken a more favorable view of the kingdom, and in particular,... Read more

The Details of Jamal Khashoggi’s Disappearance Are HORRIFIC (so Don’t Defend Saudi Arabia)

Last updated on: October 17, 2018 at 9:27 pm By Susan Wright

We’ve got several things to talk about, in regards to the case of the missing (and presumed murdered) Washington Post journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. I’ve covered this previously. Khashoggi is the journalist whose outspoken stance against the Saudi royal family may have put a target on his back. He went missing on October 2, after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, presumably to pick up paperwork related to his divorce from his first wife. He left two cell phones on the... Read more

Former Trump “Fixer,” Michael Cohen, Meets With Prosecutors Investigating Trump’s Charities, Business

Last updated on: October 17, 2018 at 6:01 pm By Susan Wright

Former Trump attorney and “fixer” of all of Donald Trump’s creepy bimbo eruptions is really bearing down in his efforts to separate himself from his slimy ex-boss. On Wednesday, Cohen and his attorney, Guy Petrillo, huddled with state and federal law enforcement officials, all investigating President Trump’s personal business and [alleged] charitable organizations. Federal prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York have been hot on this case. In August, they charged Cohen with, among... Read more

Robert Mueller Prepares to Release Key Findings in the Russia Probe

Last updated on: October 17, 2018 at 4:52 pm By Susan Wright

For those of you who were wondering if special counsel Robert Mueller would be pulling a “Comey” and releasing his findings from the Russia probe before the midterm elections, wonder no more. Bloomberg News reported early Wednesday that Mueller has been under pressure to either bring more indictments or wrap it up. According to sources, that pressure is coming from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein – the man who appointed Mueller. Several U.S. officials are saying that Mueller will be... Read more

CIVILITY: Trump Manages to Drag Politics Down Further With Attack on Former Mistress

Last updated on: October 17, 2018 at 4:53 pm By Susan Wright

No, I won’t be remotely shocked if some evangelical pastor works “horseface” into his Sunday sermon. That’s right, the leader of the American evangelical movement, and a man with jowls that look like sacks of sand was at his gracious best today, attacking a woman he had sex with, behind his wife’s back. On Monday, the Donald’s former mistress, porn star Stormy Daniels (real name: Stephanie Clifford) suffered a defeat in court. A federal judge in California tossed out Daniels’... Read more

With Midterms Looming, Democrat Golden Boy, Beto O’Rourke, Is Not a Team Player

Last updated on: October 17, 2018 at 4:53 pm By Susan Wright

Greed. It’s not a virtue, guys. The DNC is getting a crash course in that from one of their rising stars, and it’s hard to feel sorry for them. The Democrats have really poured their hopes and dreams into Robert Francis O’Rourke, the Irish kid who took on the very Hispanic nickname of “Beto” and then went on to challenge Republican Senator Ted Cruz for his Senate seat. It may be a gamble they come to regret. Still, O’Rourke has... Read more
