That was the oral-sex joke that made it to air on NBC; what didn’t was two seasons worth of Trump telling Roderick he wanted to “marry” her and talking about how badly he wanted to “f***” the Playboy model with the “perfect body” and gorgeous “t8ts,” three former Apprentice employees tell The Daily Beast.
“ kept proposing to her and telling her how beautiful she was. I think he was trying to be charming,” said one Apprentice staffer, recalling Trump’s words with Roderick during The Apprentice’s eighth season—the second edition of Celebrity Apprentice. The staffer spoke on the condition of anonymity due to strict nondisclosure agreements those working on the ... less

“The Art of the Deal” made America see Trump as a charmer with an unfailing knack for business. Tony Schwartz helped create that myth—and regrets it.If trump the clown cannot even read, how can he be expected to WRITE?
Trump, facing a crowd that had gathered in the lobby of Trump Tower, on Fifth Avenue, laid out his qualifications, saying, “We need a leader that wrote ‘The Art of the Deal.’ ” If that was so, Schwartz thought, then he, not Trump, should be running. Schwartz dashed off a tweet: “Many thanks Donald Trump for suggesting I run for President, based on the fact that I wrote ‘The Art of the Deal.’ ”
Schwartz had ghostwritten Trump’s 1987 breakthrough memoir, earning a joint byline on the cover, half of the book’s five-hundred-thousand-dollar advance, and half of the royalties. The book was a phenomenal success, spending forty-eight weeks on the Times best-seller li... less

In his book On War, Carl von Clausewitz defines the term as one that:
"Denotes properly such a portion of the space over which war prevails as has its boundaries protected, and thus possesses a kind of independence. This protection may consist of fortresses, or important natural obstacles presented by the country, or even in its being separated by a considerable distance from the rest of the space embraced in the war. Such a portion is not a mere piece of the whole, but a small whole complete in itself; and consequently it is more or less in such a condition that changes which take place at other points in the seat of war have only an indirect and no direct influence upon it. To give an adequate idea of this, we may suppose that on this portion an advance is made, whilst in another quarter a retreat is taking place, or that upon the one an army is acting defensively, whilst an offensive is being carried on upon the other. Such a clearly defined idea as this is not capable of univers... less

“I love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The thought of this choir and Mormonism being forever associated with a man who disparages minorities, brags about his sexual control of women, encourages intolerance and traffics in hate speech and bullying, was unacceptable,” Randall Thacker said in a statement. “I immediately knew there were probably thousands of people who felt the same way, so I created the space on Change.org for like-minded Mormons and their friends to share their feelings.”
About 215 of the choir’s 360 members are expected to perform at the inauguration, church officials have told The Salt Lake City Tribune.
By Thursday evening, nearly 19,000 people had signed the petition, which is seeking 25,000 signat... less

The population homogenizes and you cannot distinguish one from the other. They think alike, look alike, sound alike, react alike and pass that restriction of beingness down to future generations.

Why drag bottomfeeders in politics into an environment of creativity and achievement? I don't know who called that shot but how sad it is that we can't escape the taint/stench of Washington, D.C. even for an evening. More publicity for a man who feeds on it. Any kind. As long as ti focuses on him he doesn't care what you say. Just talk about HIM. Well they did so he was very gratified I expect. SIGH. No escape. He is everywhere all the time. :( less

If you didn't know then you are beyond incompetent/ignorant and quite possibly even stupid. Either way you lose.

These folks retweet and thus spread the lies worldwide and don't even realize they are mere pawns/tools/puppets whose strings are being pulled for a price. So it ain't only hostile foreign powers like RUSSIA that are sabotaging truth. It's anyone anywhere who has the knowledge of how to trap the GULLIBLES into believing them and having them do the heavy lifting by forwarding crap tweets. You still trust Twitter? You still believe all those tweets that shore up what you want to believe? You still retweet and forward and spread the manure around to fertilize lies? You still have faith that what YOU believe to be true is absolutely true because a twit tweeted you and who would lie to you, con you, spam you, trick you, make a fool of you? SIGH. less

So of course everyone else will die from starvation and the world will finally belong to the OBSCENELY WEALTHY! Nice future ain't it folks? When will this occur you ask? As soon as the powers that be can get it done. They will all travel with mobile injection units and lotsa liquids. Everyone will be fit not fat. Oh frabjous joy! SIGH.
