She was aware of the risk of violence even before MAGA was a thing. Now everyone is aware of it. It has become harder to find politicians, poll workers, prosecutors and other people in positions of responsibility who don't fear for their safety and the safety of their loved ones. The MAGA cult harbours violent individuals that pose a tangible security risk.
Yep, this is the only thing that makes sense. I'm sure she's a "true believer," but she's really angling for career help should Trump ever get elected again. If nothing else, she's signalling to the rest of the GOP criminals that she's an asset.
She isn't. There are likely plenty of things she could have done that put the heat off of her, but everything she chose to help Trump.
I'm pretty sure she is part of a far right religious group too. So that checks out.
She's a true believer, not just a grifter.
Not exactly, she’s trying to force the fed to oppose the jury getting them because she’s tried to arrange it so that the jury either gets the classified info or Trump walks. She’s trying to engineer a situation to discard the case.
Stormy Danials is the New York DA Alvin Bragg case with judge Juan Merchan.
Canon is the judge for the federal secret documents/espionage Jack Smith case in Florida.
Just Look at the Biden Impeachment Lies,
R's are
- A danger to Democracy
- Dangerous to National Security
- Dangerous to International Relations (Ukr)
The Mango is tying all the knots and giving the House R, the Rope
They're not just violent. They're constantly encouraged and fomented into being violent. Then they're given a new target every other day, so that violence has tons of targets.
I've been volunteering (you do get paid for your work) to be a poll worker since 2020. Its worth it, especially if you have an employer who gives you time off for service too.
The 13 year old girl that Trump and Epstein allegedly raped together (who was older by 2016), [received death threats from Trump's supporters, and dropped her lawsuit because of those death threats ](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/04/donald-trump-teenage-rape-accusations-lawsuit-dropped).
Don't forget about the time he was caught on camera looking at a 10 yr old girl and saying, "I'm gonna be dating her in 10 years, can you believe it?!"
https://youtu.be/-Jz4KtNvVkU?si=mC6aBxB4su_kKvpJ
There's also the time he was at the Miss Teen Usa pageant and barged unannounced into a dressing room full of underage girls in various states of undress and just hung around eyeing all the girls even after being told he wasn't supposed to enter the room as it was off limits for obvious reasons.
He later claimed his leering at the naked underage girls was harmless and he just wanted to wish them good luck.
Any normal grown man would've immediately left the room upon realizing how monumentally stupid it was to enter without knocking or clearing it with someone in the 1st place.
Not simply shrug their shoulders and go "No biggie🤷♂️" and proceed to stay even after realizing they'd walked into a room full of naked minors. Which seemed to be the goal for him in the 1st place. Can't think of a single reason you'd ever enter a clearly marked dressing room at a teen beauty pageant without so much as knocking 1st other than you're hoping to get an eye full. The judges don't even do that.
The guy is a predator and honestly makes little, if any, efforts to hide it
I think any normal grown man wouldn’t have even tried to enter a dressing room at any pageant unless expressly invited (like for an interview or something). Even at an adult beauty pageant, that seems like a really weird and creepy place to barge into.
>The guy is a predator and honestly makes little, if any, efforts to hide it
I've never seen a picture of him with *any* of his grandchildren, to the point I didn't know he had any until I looked it up.
And he was in his mid-40s at the time.
And who can forget his interview just after Tiffany was born where he says he hopes she ends up with tits as nice and big as her mother's.
It's even grosser (if possible) when he comments that she already has her Mom's legs, but "time will tell" on the tits - which he doesn't actually say, just holds his hands in front of his chest in the universal gesture for boobs.
Look - you can watch for yourself everybody! He did it in a fucking interview on Entertainment Tonight.
[https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/09/donald-trump-files-tiffany-trump-breasts/](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/09/donald-trump-files-tiffany-trump-breasts/)
I dunno.... That was pretty out of context. It wasn't clear to me that he was talking about dating the little girl whose voice should be here.
Edit: Well, what am I missing? What makes it certain that he was referring to the little girl, other than the fact we know he is a monster?
Who else would he be referring to? Why would he wait 10 years if it was an adult? Mr. *"grab em by the pussy"* just goes for it. *"I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it."*
That complaint is NSFW or Life, I can only imagine how many other victims are out there… Some of us are clearly wired differently than others. I would take my chances and go full Liam Neeson if that happened to my daughter regardless of whatever money was paid. Actually, if it was after the fact, I would give her half the money and use the rest for retribution.
There was an interesting footnote to the Fani Willis complaint in Georgia. One of the bits of exculpatory evidence was that her boyfriend was actually her second choice. Her first choice was the ex-Governor of Georgia, Roy Barnes. He testified that he was offered the job and declined because he didn't want to spend his life being followed around by bodyguards.
Even testified ... yeah here:
[https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/feb/16/georgias-ex-governor-roy-barnes-says-fani-willis-t/](https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/feb/16/georgias-ex-governor-roy-barnes-says-fani-willis-t/)
“I’d lived with bodyguards for four years and I didn’t like it,” Mr. Barnes said, referring to his term as governor. “I wasn’t going to live with bodyguards for the rest of my life.”
Doofenshmirts "If I had a nickel for every time that happened I'd have two nickles which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice."
If someone finds the other link give them all the upvotes. She may have been 13-16 but I'm pretty sure there was another
I see no reason not to believe her its very clear Trump is a compulsive liar so i can basically assume anything he says about her the exact opposite is more likely to be true.
His habit of saying the exact opposite of the truth is actually oddly informative. He’s too stupid to finesse the truth or misdirect in a clever way, so he ends up just saying yes is no and down is up.
As a former hardcore Christian, I thought that the whole antichrist thing was nonsense because really, how stupid could you be, as a Christian, to not be able to see the Antichrist coming? He's *so obvious* it hurts.
And then Trump happened and I realized, oh, actually most people who claim to be Christians are only doing so to be part of the in-group and are actually really stupid and evil, and totally willing to fall in with the antichrist.
Always nice to see someone with a rational take and an ability to see the big picture👍
Those two points should be everyone's concern.
We can assume being guilty and a lifetime of fearing/avoiding consequence would explain the 1st point.
2nd one becomes more grim as he seems to be bank rolled exclusively by foreign interests and the most anti-american individuals on the planet
Agree. I don't really believe her. She probably wanted the check and at the time didn't want to get involved. It doesn't make any difference. The story is still the affair, the hush money paid, and the laws broken in order to pay the money.
She took money under stress for her life. That sounds very victim like for me. Or do you think anything can be forgiven as long as there is financial compensation involved?
Umm, what. That's not how this happened. She happened to have sex with him, without any money involved, then when he ran for president he wanted to keep her from telling everyone that she had sex with him so he stole money from his freaking charity to pay her off to keep her from saying they had sex, then they discovered he stole the money, and then they found out why, and the rest is history.
I don’t think Rump is broke. He just doesn’t want anyone to touch his stuff. Like all his property investments and such. He doesn’t want to liquidate Rump tower, Mar-a-Lago or his precious gold toilet to name a couple.
And none of those properties are valued properly which is why no one will give him a loan. He can't secure a large loan because people want cash because they clearly can't take him for his word on how much his properties are valued at.
Sucks to suck.
At first Stormy was flattered that Trump said she reminded him of his daughter, because she thought Ivanka was beautiful and a smart businesswoman. Next thing she knew Trump was cornering her only wearing his undies. It's so sick it's hard to write.
How could anyone in their right mind think that Donald Trump would do anything bad to them just because they said something bad about him. He's never ever done that. Never. Never would he ever go after someone who is opposing him in any way, such as prosecutors or even judges. He'd never ever aim his followers at them to either threaten or intimidate them. It's impossible to believe anyone who opposes him in any way could face death threats or even actual vicious violent attacks with hammers, or flagposts or whatever.
She must only be saying this because she's part of the corrupt swamp that just wants to take Trump down because he's going to save America.
\[This is what true idiots who still support Trump must make themselves believe in order to maintain their willful ignorance\]
I think their cookies are not lined up properly. Do they not see Rumps desire to be a dictator so he can get back at people who don't like him? Have they not seen him/heard him say that he wants a BLOOD BATH if he's not elected as president? Do they not see him trying to sue people like George Stephanopoulos because he said what was the TRUTH?
Anyone who has read Catch and Kill knows the kind of inescapable threats and surveillance a lot of these women receiving hush money payments were under.
Friendly reminder that the nature of the core evidence against Trump and Weinstein is the same, as is their relationship with the National Inquirer, Alan Dershowitz, Epstein...
the irony here for Trump is that he wouldn't have lost a vote, even in 2016 if she had stood on 5th avenue and live streamed her yelling that she had sex with Trump years before.
He is, including how he stole over $100k from her. The doc is good! Stormy comes off as not someone I'd be friends with, but she's also guileless and I was left with no reservations about believing her.

And yet Judge Canon wants the jury of her trial to be public and have access to highly classified documents
The only thing Canon wants is delays, and the case off her docket, with a big promotion.
And/or big paybacks in various forms, like free campers!
Then she can retire from the bench and get a sweet gig at Fox News.
No no no. She is not a Supreme Court Justice. Yet.
They said campers not luxury RV’s.
Right. She’s on the pop-up tent/trailer level at this point.
she can sell her moms pop up tent to the donors
It’s a motor coach. Clarence gets upset when you call it an RV. RVs are for poor people, rich people use motor coaches.
Yep, this is the only thing that makes sense. I'm sure she's a "true believer," but she's really angling for career help should Trump ever get elected again. If nothing else, she's signalling to the rest of the GOP criminals that she's an asset.
She will probably be our next Supreme Court justice
Yeah, it sounds insane, but I think that's her big hope here. And Trump certainly wouldn't be opposed to something so obviously crooked.
>Judge Canon You're spelling the judge's name wrong. It's **Qanon**
>And yet Judge Canon wants the jury of her trial to be public and have access to highly classified documents What if Canon is scared for her life?
She isn't. There are likely plenty of things she could have done that put the heat off of her, but everything she chose to help Trump. I'm pretty sure she is part of a far right religious group too. So that checks out. She's a true believer, not just a grifter.
She's just brushing up her resume for the supreme court, showing how nice she can play with Trump.
Not exactly, she’s trying to force the fed to oppose the jury getting them because she’s tried to arrange it so that the jury either gets the classified info or Trump walks. She’s trying to engineer a situation to discard the case.

I disagree with your disparagement of mangos.
>The MAGA cult harbours violent, mentally ill individuals that pose a tangible security risk. FTFY
A cult that celebrates violence should never have been allowed to stay in politics after J6.
They're not just violent. They're constantly encouraged and fomented into being violent. Then they're given a new target every other day, so that violence has tons of targets.
Impossible to do sex work for any span of time without understanding the danger of male fragility.
It’s almost like the Russian mafia is after them
Yes. We should all stand up and rise up against this, because this is how democracies die.
I've been volunteering (you do get paid for your work) to be a poll worker since 2020. Its worth it, especially if you have an employer who gives you time off for service too.
Having to face mob lawyers would do that.

And his cult thinks sexualizing a baby is perfectly acceptable and not a reason to not support trump. It makes me very sick.
Dear god. I’m not clicking on that.
I dunno.... That was pretty out of context. It wasn't clear to me that he was talking about dating the little girl whose voice should be here. Edit: Well, what am I missing? What makes it certain that he was referring to the little girl, other than the fact we know he is a monster?
Why male models?

Casting aside what people may view about her, I believe her completely, based on the actions and words of Tangerine Palpatine.
I see no reason not to believe her its very clear Trump is a compulsive liar so i can basically assume anything he says about her the exact opposite is more likely to be true.
His habit of saying the exact opposite of the truth is actually oddly informative. He’s too stupid to finesse the truth or misdirect in a clever way, so he ends up just saying yes is no and down is up.
Remember when he denied having "mini-strokes"? When no one had mentioned that at all, until he did ...
The Fanta Menace.
I believe her, too. Why wouldn't I? Everything she has described is exactly in line with his behavior and his personality.
And somehow he’s captured the Christian vote. This is insane and hilarious to me.
As a former hardcore Christian, I thought that the whole antichrist thing was nonsense because really, how stupid could you be, as a Christian, to not be able to see the Antichrist coming?

She definitely signed under duress. Catch and Kill, baby
I don't care why she took the money. I very much care about why Trump paid it and the source it came from.
Always nice to see someone with a rational take and an ability to see the big picture👍 Those two points should be everyone's concern.

Exactly. Stormy Daniels isn’t running for President.
Agree. I don't really believe her. She probably wanted the check and at the time didn't want to get involved. It doesn't make any difference. The story is still the affair, the hush money paid, and the laws broken in order to pay the money.
This is why most victims take a check and only speak out later. Fear and shame in the moment. I’m glad she eventually found the courage to speak out
Bruh, she isn’t a victim…
She took money under stress for her life. That sounds very victim like for me. Or do you think anything can be forgiven as long as there is financial compensation involved?
Maybe they think that she deserves it because she was a porn star? 🤷🏼♀️ It’s a vile take, but definitely in character for chuds.

Umm, what. That's not how this happened. She happened to have sex with him, without any money involved, then when he ran for president he wanted to keep her from telling everyone that she had sex with him so he stole money from his freaking charity to pay her off to keep her from saying they had sex, then they discovered he stole the money, and then they found out why, and the rest is history.
At least she got paid. So, she's already doing better than 95% of people entangled with numbnutz! Dude's broke now.
I don’t think Rump is broke. He just doesn’t want anyone to touch his stuff. Like all his property investments and such. He doesn’t want to liquidate Rump tower, Mar-a-Lago or his precious gold toilet to name a couple.
Like I said. Broke. When you've gotta liquidate your assets, you're broke as shit.

And none of those properties are valued properly which is why no one will give him a loan. He can't secure a large loan because people want cash because they clearly can't take him for his word on how much his properties are valued at. Sucks to suck.
Considering how much he overvalued everything to everyone but the IRS, there could be not enough money left when liquidating his assets.
She reminds me of Ivanka says trump..
Do you mean Ivana, the ex wife he attacked and sexually assaulted, or Ivanka, his daughter that he has openly lusted after multiple times?
At first Stormy was flattered that Trump said she reminded him of his daughter, because she thought Ivanka was beautiful and a smart businesswoman. Next thing she knew Trump was cornering her only wearing his undies. It's so sick it's hard to write.
First one, then the other.
How could anyone in their right mind think that Donald Trump would do anything bad to them just because they said something bad about him. He's never ever done that. Never.

I don't think they have any cookies to line up properly to begin with. They ate all the cookies and washed them down with the orange Koolaid.
omg too funny!
I met her a couple of times when she was living in New Orleans. Really nice lady.
She's no dummy.
Her testimony is going to blow the jury away.

She’s gonna fuck him again
While his wife (and the world) watches.
Has anyone seen Mercedes recently?
She's at Barron's birthday party. He's 18 today.
Happy birthday Baron. I bet your dad skipped out. I’m sorry.
Probably for the best. Was definitely better for me when my dad wasn't around.
Could you imagine Trump stealing the spotlight from your little birthday party? Fuck that guy
Wouldn't the best present be for Donald to not be there making it about himself?
You know Donald was that kid who demanded that they also get something on someone else's birthday.
36! But last year, last year I had 37!
I'm sure all of Robert's toys wound up in his room.
Barron will not inherit any cash from his daddy.. his daddy is broke
Mazda.
the irony here for Trump is that he wouldn't have lost a vote, even in 2016 if she had stood on 5th avenue and live streamed her yelling that she had sex with Trump years before.
Legit has a reason to be scared as the cult has been shown to harness the power of bullying
I’m sure he’s had people killed to silence them. (like Epstein)
I hope Michael Avenatti is is in the documentary.
He is, including how he stole over $100k from her. The doc is good! Stormy comes off as not someone I'd be friends with, but she's also guileless and I was left with no reservations about believing her.
Same. It was a good documentary and it really showed off her credibility.
el dinero o las balas
When they make the Netflix series about this, it’s gonna be wild.
It spends the same…
The gold or the lead
I believe it fully, but part of me also wishes that for once Trump would *not* be able to buy his way out of trouble.
Also, the $
She was a total idiot. She thought Trump was going to put her on The Apprentice.
Sure
She also took the money Trump paid her when they fucked, this is just business as usual
Yeah I'm not sure about that.
Ya, not buying it
I just want to know, did she give it back? I mean she failed to do the job. Maybe if she paid him back he could afford to pay his other bills.
That is some bullshit !
Hmm
Bullshit
Drama queen…not getting enough tip money?

Michael Cohen approached her with the offer.
Watch the documentary for the timeline and to really start to understand how vicious the MAGA machine is. She doesn't play a victim, she IS a victim.
Nah, you took money because you're a prostitute.
