Hope Hicks is definitely the person Michael Wolff was talking about when he referred to Trump having an affair in the White House.

Melania should leave his ass.

I don't think he's had an affair with anyone in the White House. I think that's one reason why he probably hates living there, since womanizing is more difficult these days for him than it was in the past.

It would have leaked out if it was Hope, IMO. I think Wolff made up a lot of stuff or used terribly sourced rumors. The big stuff he talks about is what other reporters have said for months. But he publicized the heck out of the book.

Speaking of Hicks, I listened to her speak the other day for the first time. Well, there's a reason she and Kushner don't speak much in public.

This is shameful. Politicizing the death of a person. How low will this administration sink?

Orrego-Savala was illegal, been deported twice. How much more can the government do?

DONALD TRUMP
'DISGRACEFUL' THAT ILLEGAL KILLED NFL PLAYER

Quote:
Now, Trump is weighing in ... saying, "So disgraceful that a person illegally in our country killed @Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson."

"This is just one of many such preventable tragedies. We must get the Dems to get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!"

"My prayers and best wishes are with the family of Edwin Jackson, a wonderful young man whose life was so senselessly taken. @Colts."


Query:
Will Orrego-Savala be tried and sentenced here or will he be deported again?

Agree on both counts. Given the scrutiny that he has been subjected to and given the obvious stress and frustration he has displayed, I don't think he could function even if he had the opportunity. I think Nikki Haley's comment when it was inferred she was the one being reference probably sums it up. She said, "I am never alone with him" - which is probably the only credible comment anyone in his administration has made.

I think the hinted affair was just something Wolff injected for pure sensationalism, because anyone he saw any of his interviews can see that was his whole drive.

One more time: cops use unnecessary force to murder someone.

I love this sh_t

Yeah, it is tough being a cop, and sometimes quick and fatal decisions need to be made. But this is not one of those times.

Russians penetrated U.S. voter systems, says top U.S. official

The U.S. official in charge of protecting American elections from hacking says the Russians successfully penetrated the voter registration rolls of several U.S. states prior to the 2016 presidential election.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Jeanette Manfra, the head of cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, said she couldn't talk about classified information publicly, but in 2016, "We saw a targeting of 21 states and an exceptionally small number of them were actually successfully penetrated."

Looks like some form of murder to me

Why do you think he goes to his private golf clubs every weekend where they don't let any press in? Supposedly, they almost signed divorce papers and then he won the election and were forced to go on with the sham marriage. Apparently, they both have "special friends" on the side.

I don't really care who they do. But the fact that the "family values" party all still support this faker while they trashed Barack & Michelle for 8 years make me want to barf.

This has been well known in the online community since the election. But the government said it was all crank conspiracy nonsense. The 3 swing states that swung the elections each had a few precincts with suspicious anomalies. An exceptionally small number of precincts swung the whole election.

I'm aware. But it's interesting to see it get "mainstream" play.

I listened to the book. It seemed more like over the fence, backyard gossip. The hype of revealing something we didn't already know was just that, hype.

Wolff made a killing.

I didn't get hit hard. I'm a member of audible, I paid $0 dollars. Used a credit.

8 hours is torture regardless of who is speaking.

She was telling personal stories of individual Dreamers. I imagine being a Dreamer and going to sleep every night wondering if you are going to be kicked out of the only country you had ever known would be a more apt description of "torture." But, that's just me.

Nancy Pelosi brings down the house with record-crushing 8-hour Dreamers speech

Quote:
On Wednesday afternoon, Pelosi took to the House floor to give a “one minute” speech demanding House Speaker Paul Ryan guarantee a vote on legal protection and a path to citizenship for the Dreamers.

But she did not stop at one minute. She kept going. And going. And going. “I have no intention of yielding back, Mr. Speaker,” she said.

When she finally came to an end, after standing for eight hours in stiletto heels with no break, Pelosi had officially given the longest continuous speech on the floor of the House in history. And she finished to thundering applause from House Democrats

Based on what's been reporter throughout the day, Kelly needs to immediately resign.

The official story is that Trump only found out about the extent of the allegations on Tuesday. Even if that's true, which I don't believe it is, Kelly knew about it for months that the FBI concluded that Porter can't pass the background check.
